I don't get it...

I don't get why Super Smash Brothers is so highly rated or popular. Sure, it's a solid game, but it's far from the best fighting game I've ever played. The controls seem simple conceptionally, yet smashes seem very hard to actually preform. Is there something I'm missing?

I like it because it's fun and silly. The same reason I liked Pocket Fighter, back in the day.

I liked pocket fighter a whole lot better, but then I was kind of raised on capcom fighters.

The game is primarily marketing genius. They didn't HAVE to make it any good, so any good qualities it has are simply bonuses.

I don't get it either.
