- “This is just a bad Smash Bros clone. The gameplay is boring; there are only like 4 playable characters and 2 items, so there's basically no variety. The controls work but are definitely not great. Nobody plays this game, so the only way to play online is with ranked 1v1s, and even then it feels like I'm playing on 10fps. In singleplayer, all the bots up until hard mode are way too easy, and impossible is well, impossible.”
