Reacting To Reacting To 'Smash 4 Is Broken'

Heeew's "Smash Is Broken" series are classics in the Super Smash Bros. world, showcasing the craziest things from Smash 64 all the way up to Smash Ultimate. I'll be reacting to the reactions of Hungrybox, Panda (Esam and Little Z), and Coney as they take a look back at Smash 4 through Heeew's eyes (with a brief cameo from Alpharad), a fun change of pace!

The featured videos I'm reacting to:

Thanks for watching everyone, tried something a bit different today so please let me know your thoughts! There's a lot more to these reactions (as well as Heeew's original video) that I cut out of this, so if you were watching and thinking "I wish there was more of X person's video to watch, " today's your lucky day. I've got them all linked below, please be sure to check them out as well.

Ultimate: Everyone. Is. Here.
Smash 4: Everyone. Is. Lucario.

I liked Coney’s unique take as a commentator for Smash 4 and his stories on his time in the scene

[DecafPotato]

The "counterpick" era of Smash 4's meta was absolutely something I would wish to come back and was a large portion of why I got into competitive Smash. The wacky nature of custom moves worked perfectly banned from a competitive setting, I feel. They ABSOLUTELY should've been better implemented to provide an interesting dynamic for many characters, and them being a pain in the ass to unlock (I never got more than like, 20% of them, even with all the time I spent playing Smash 4) made them impossible to be well received, but messing around with them was fun and I will stand by that.

And yes, Coney is absolutely the most entertaining Smash creator, and it's not even close.

You should do the “taking smash memes too seriously” again on this channel; seems like a perfect fit

[woofmasterarf]

This is just a fun trip down memory lane, from the jank of Smash 4 to the reactions of the others. Especially Coney and Hbox who both made some good points. Also we stan Mii Smawler.

AFK Corrin is still one of the best videos ever to come out of the Smash community

[glacierwolf]

I honestly think that Mega Man would have been a better character to showcase custom moves than Palutena and should have had all of his unlocked from the start, considering that Mega Man is well-known for being able to use Special Weapons in his home series. It's truly a tragedy that those custom moves weren't carried over to Ultimate, as they really did flesh out Mega Man and represented his home series.

25:35 Nah man, Melee Roy is the most faithful representation of a character in Smash. Anyone who’s played FE Binding Blade will agree

[MarioSMG]

Definitely agree that Coney is the naturally funniest Smash creator. He's so effortlessly witty, it's honestly impressive.

Bit of S4 lore for y’all, the 3ds and Wii U versions are able to connect and share some bits of data with each other. One of those things is custom move load outs. Instead of getting all 400 special moves on 100 Wii U’s, for Evo, you get all of the moves on 1 3ds and make all of the move sets on that and transfer it to the Wii U version however many times it takes.

You also mentioned footstools. While a lot of characters have footstool set ups, many being off of throws. Footstools we’re far more common in doubles. A lot of the best doubles teams use footstools to trap you in infinite ToD combos. You get grabbed once, or get jab reset once and your stock is gone. It’s even less interactive than getting Bayo comboed in singles.

I like how this evolved from reacting to people reacting to content to an entire Mii discussion to trying to figure out how to pronounce Little Z

[mrbister]

This video was way more entertaining and informative than a “reacting to reacting to” video had any right to be

This is my favorite part from the Coney video lmfaooo I remember dying when I got to that part. He’s the perfect amount of knowledgeable and hilarious for our community

[nahte]

I love Coney's reactions, and his reaction to the Brawl version is even better.
But I find his point on the parasocial relationships in this series. The sheer variety of games represented really makes some people defensive on their favorite vs the actual in game style or tiers.

[trentdm]

coney spitting truths. i am a true believer that cloud was genuinely worse for the game than bayo. people just remember the worst bayo times way more clearly than cloud's constant oppression and brokeness.

[EduardoFlores-btfo]

You know what I miss? Pre-Cloud doubles. Smash 4 doubles was such an amazing era, it was extremely fun and the meta was really different. Still remember the Ryo and Sol team, my favorite doubles team.

Another Sm4sh video? Another excuse for me to talk about Bayo

At 29:56 Sinji was either SDIing up but lazily, or down really hard. The stupid part is that he had to SDI down or he would die off the top, but SDI down would also just a combo easier to connect since Bayo has so much rage. If he went up and away, he would just rocket out of up b and die off the top cause of rage. Literally nothing to do there lmao

31:12 regarding this patch, it hit all the glaring problems of Bayo. Issue was that Bayos had discovered things to counteract the nerfs long before that patch.

SDI heavily affects her combos? Switch to fair strings and fair 1-up air loops to make up the damage. DABK no longer combos? Use it as the best landing tool in the game instead. ABK has higher knockback growth, so a kill combo at high % is harder to find? Just fish for dtilt up air lol. All of this was already known by Bayos, but saw no use because it was just redundant when a standard Bayo combo worked just as well but easier.

[divinekingofunluck]

22:30 Monado Purge is a Monado Art from Xenoblade Chronicles, which the combo happens to somewhat resemble. Blame Monolith Soft for making it sound too full of itself.
Otherwise great video Smash 4 will always have a special place in my heart

[meganintenbro]

Major respect for having the right opinion on the Miis from smash 4. Just treating them as different characters was objectively the right option.
