between the hilariously high input delay, joycon drift, all the characters being nearly identical, the game’s movement and system mechanics being designed for “casual” play making it have an awful game feel (surprise surprise, removing player agency for “casuals” and adding a bunch more endlag for no reason just makes the game less fun for everyone), and probably several other things, this is probably one of the least fun party games i’ve ever played.

it also sucks as a competitive game/sport, but post-Melee smash is just so dull in that department it's barely worth mentioning. 64 and Melee were just accidentally good.
