do not explain smash to me in the replies, i been playing this game & writing about it since before you were born
given the history, i agree there's probably some truth to what ninja said
i'm simply suggesting to take this w/ a grain of salt, he could've exaggerated the details

Fun fact: The Japanese narrator we've been using in all of the hype videos for
