Give me any character, any  handicap setting.  I'll prove your button mashing  attitude wrong.

My friend and I (murk280 here) just played again today. . . we are both still equally skilled, and that game is as fun as heck.  It's such a great fighting game, all the skill and stuff it takes to play it. . . I laugh sometimes when we play it together, dodging each other and rolling about and attacking, retreating, faking attacks, everything.  We talk, and we even know what we do wrong and try to improve it.

To us, it's hardly even a game anymore.  It's. . . a challenge and a battle of skills (and a helluva lot of fun).  I don't even know how to explain it.  Hilarious, fun, awesome, involved game.

Like some others have said, take some time to learn the game- everyone button mashes at first because they don't know what they're doing, but once you've played it enough and learn the little nuances of the characters and their moves, it's a very fun game.

I'd like to add that it can be an extremely fun and challenging single player experience as well. For instance, try beating all 50 "Events" (I think that is what they are...?) Those were some kind of tough.

A favorite "mode" of my brothers, our friends and myself is to take a level nine character and give him a nine handicap (turn all of ours down to one) and then we all face that computer together. (sometimes one of us will play as the the "uber" character while the others try and kill that player)

We've also been known to turn off the pause button and gang up on a newbie (switch our team color just before selecting a level). Its mean but it is really funny, and we always make it up to him afterwards.

[CaseyRyback]

there are 51 events, the last one is extremely hard

I lost my memory card and have only gotten through the first 39(minus the one where NEss battles all the foreign characters like Fox Falcon and such)

[Koopa Troopa]

Right, 51. It took me a LONG time to get through them all.

[Murk280]

Ya. HC and I play each other constantly. We often set different matches like bob-ombs on high and whatnot. It's gotta be one of my favorite games of all time. I was pretty bad at it at first, but HC and I kept playing it until we got to where we are today, still playing it

To me, event 51 wasn't the hardest. It took me a while, and there's always the jigglypuff trick, but it took me many-a-days to beat 'Soace Travellers'

[Hostile Creation]

Space.  But yeah.  Soace Travellers, GO!

We played some more today.  Still tied. . . dang we good.
