    Rivals of Aether. One thing I love about the game is that every character has one "stage-wide" mechanic. Three examples: Orcane lays puddles which he can teleport to at any time, Kragg can pull up a giant pillar to get in the way of opponents or aid in his recovery, and Ori has a little orb-thing called Stein which follows (him?) around and powers up his attacks if they're together. And then you realise the game has Steam Workshop support, and suddenly you're playing as Minecraft Steve (with a completely unique moveset to Smash), fighting Yellow from Animator vs. Animation, a cat who can program his own special attacks mid-battle and Goku (and that's just from ONE mod dev)

    Regarding PSAS the story is actually really interesting and sad So the Devs Sony gave the project to were mainly experienced on ports They tried to get several big PS related characters but had several issues 1)Some IP holders said no (like Eidos) 2)Some IP holders asked for too much money (like SE with FF characters) 3)Some IP holders wanted specific characters to be added (hence Raiden and Donte instead of Snake and Dante) And finally Sony didn't give them much of a budget to begin with So in conclusion Sony wanted Smash Bros but they didn't want to spend Smash Bros money, something Sakurai has mentioned several times is one of the main issues with each new entry

    Dude, I was kinda looking forward to Multiverses by Warner Bros. It had a solid game on release, if a tad bit lacking, but it could have been easily fixed. Unfortunately the unrealistic goals for their devs and extreme push on monetization ended it's career before it even began. I still think a fighting game balanced around 2v2s specifically would be awesome, it's just unfortunate that Multiverses was burnt to the ground before they had even finished building it.

    Same, I actually still have MultiVersus but the game never really got me hooked on playing more. When I started playing it, it never taught me the controls of any of the fighters. Instead I think I had to pause a game or go somewhere in the menu to look at the fighters moves. Honestly, the damage% works in the game the same way as Smash Bros.

    Idk if this games coming back, but if it does it has to come back with a lot of work on it. No more dodge spammy BS, most characters have enough moves that retain air momentum/verticality and also there is essentially infinite wall hopping so no idea why they need to have two air dodges that you can spam. I also don’t personally love the floatiness, but I don’t think that will change since it’s kind of the DNA. As far as why the game crashed when it did, no it wasn’t just the character release schedule they couldn’t keep up with, it was the various bugs/issues that persisted for months, the fact they were so slow to address ridiculously imbalanced characters (Season 1 Finn was not ok, Stripe on release was NOT ok) Harley took forever to get to a decent spot of balance, and some characters were just no where near as cool as others (Gizmo, although with a decent-ish moveset, is completely underwhelming. How did he get in before Beetlejuice? At least if we’re going with 80’s icons he would have been a more exciting and fun pick, can’t even imagine the moveset they would have given him) Basically it needs a 2.0 overhaul. And it has had the time… it all a matter now on if they put the time to good use. As awesome as NASB 2 ended up being compared to its original game not even a year earlier, I hope that that becomes the similar case for Multi, because there are some awesome characters in this game that I do miss, like IG, Superman, hell I even miss smacking fools with Garnett. But we’ll have to see, and if I’m honest, the silence is deafening, and at the same time, may say a bit more than any of us actually want to hear right now

    Rushdown Revolt was a game that experimented with what I think NASB 2 hit perfectly on their slime meter mechanic. In RR, the meter is called "Spark", which lets you do similar things, but you generate spark much more frequently. Every character also has very unique mechanics to them, like their puppeteer character lets you alternate between two no matter where they are, there's a fighter that takes the grappler archetype to the extreme, etc. I think NASB found the perfect balance in having a deep mechanic without the user requiring it as the floor, but if you want to see Guilty Gear Roman Cancels in a plat fighter, Rushdown Revolt can be very rewarding.

    Rivals of Aether, Brawhalla, Towerfall Ascension would be my three platform fighter recommendations for the next one. Rivals is a furry foo fighters game with some crazy good movement and skill expression alongside possibly the wildest mod character roster I've ever seen Brawlhalla takes it's own gimmick and rolls with it in an interesting way Towerfall is a Platform fighter based entirely around bow and arrows. Special arrows and power ups vary the game to a crazy degree and while characters may not be different the things you can do with the movement in it is exxceptional

    I have great memories of the first one, was even the first game I played that made me a Digimon fan at the same time. Reapermon is now one of my favourite Digimon but ironically that was because he has been etched into my soul as one of the most frustrating final bosses of all time. His AI was complete BS, and the only way I could beat him was to keep running in the opposite direction and chipping away at his health bar until I dealt enough damage to Digivolve. But alas I would be dammed if the feeling wasn't great when you finally beat him for the first time, and your reward was getting to play him right away after the arcade ending, and he was just as OP as the AI handled him.

    Check out Shovel Knight Showdown, it's kind of a platforming fighter but with kind of a party game spin on it. It's designed so that it's not just always just stock battles or most kills, there's also rounds where you win by collecting the most treasure or other rules that apply to just that round. The roster is pretty big too, with nearly every named character in the series and even a couple random enemies playable with their own unique movesets.

    Please do have an entire section dedicated to Rivals of Aether in the sequel of this vid. It's a great game on its own but when you find the stuff that's in the workshop, I'd say the game is almost as good as actual smash bros. Thousands of creations and about half of them are incredibly and surprisingly well designed. Some favorites I have to mention include a Steve (Muno), Mario Pissing (new one), Reimu, Morshu, Jerma, Spamton, Chara, Paper Mario (The Origami King), Gengar, Sanic, Terra, Goku, Crewmate, Untitled Goose, Henry Stickmin, Phoenix Wright, Peashooter, Hotel Mario and Luigi, Mecha Sonic, Ronald McDonald (just HAD to include him here, he's basically the face of Rivals modding) and that's just a fraction of the characters that I personally love and I think you'll like them too. Only issue that I think you'll really have is that the game's main roster is kinda furryish and half of the workshop also contains furryish ocs, however I think they're very well designed both visually and how they play so I think it doesn't matter.

    You know, this video made me realize why Smash succeeds as a platform fighter, and it's not limited to the IPs being used, though that helps a lot. The way you defeat your opponents by launching them off the stage is inherently a platforming element, as you need to jump back to the stage. By having the victory and survival element tied to platforming, they can put more emphasis on the movement of the characters, which again, leans into the platforming element. This makes the game feel a lot more natural. This is also why stage hazards are a fun element. The movement is enjoyable making the scramble to evade them or abuse them entertaining in of itself. For reference, look at the classic break the targets stages from melee. They had unique designs that made you use the movements and attacks of each character in an interesting way. Thus, smash succeeds as it's more platformer than fighter, and commits to it.

    "If there's any platform fighters I missed that you really want to see me play and talk about please let me know in the comments" Brother I don't know if you're getting bombarded with the recommendation but if you're looking for platform fighter goodness then Rivals of Aether and its upcoming sequel Rivals 2 are definitely worth a look. I'd say NASB2 hits a better balance between casual silliness and competitive sweat, but RoA's execution on that competitive sweat is honestly masterful. Character movement is fast and snappy, tech like wavedashing and hitfalling are made incredibly easy to execute on, stages have a nice amount of variation in terms of layout, and if none of this satisfies you then pop over to the workshop, download Ronald or any of the other crazy mods on there, and have fun with that.

    rivals of aether, slap city, roof rage, rushdown revolt, fraymakers, brawlout, and smack studio are all platfighters i know of, but personally i'd love to see you cover rushdown revolt. Unfortunately its a bit hard to recommend since its a bit buggy and doesn't have many players, but its the game i stuck with the most because of its gameplay. Learning combos was really fun because the game behaves similarly to nickeloden allstars 2, where you can slime cancel moves to link up attack. However in rushdown revolt, you spend "spark" in order to cancel your attacks, and to gain spark all you have to do is hit the opponent, which will lead to a lot of combo game at all times. It is a bit similar to turbo modes in smash mods. Spark can also be used for movement options aswell, you can spend it to super jump, so if you have a hard hitting attack that launches far, you might be able to super jump towards the opponent to still be able to follow up. Rushdown revolt also has some mechanics seen in traditional fighting games. For example instead of having a percent, you have health in this game and you have a one time per stock resource called burst, which is used to get out of combos or to even further extend your combo game. The characters in this game are also very unique and each have their own signature mechanics, which I won't really go over since its a lot. Overall, i think rushdown revolt is really fun gameplay wise, but the menus, bugs, and other things kinda drive people away. (slap city and rivals are also pretty good, but i think no one will talk about rushdown revolt that much)

    Don't know if it counts because it's a 3D platform fighter but I put many hours into Shrek Superslam. I think it standouts for it's destructible arenas and unique Challenge Mode which isn't just fighting the whole time and it throws in unique stuff like a parry challenge, race and even a platforming stage. Or if you want a more typical Smash clone I remember playing TMNT Smash Up. It's much more like Smash but Ninja Turtles and the Rabbids from Rayman as guest characters.

    This may not be considered a smash clone but there is a 3D 4 player party fighter from the Dreamcast known as Powerstone and its Sequel: Power Stone 2. It was developed by Capcom and it's definitely worth a look.

    I can think of four platform fighters for you Skooch, Rushdown Revolt (smash but focusing on the competitive scene), Rivals of Aether (the same but they're still willing to have furries and cartoons), Multiversus (smash but it's a 2v2 four person game which is some actual differences to smash) and Brawlhalla a game I never see not hear, except for when its gigantic prize pools get mentioned. Also bold claims at the start about Smash as a fighting game, many would take that as a declaration of war. Love your stuff.

    Another smash clone I never see anyone talking about is Flash Party, that chinese clone is one of the best because its actually fun to play, even its original characters are likable. Yeah its kinda pay to win because it has permanent boosts for its characters and some can even swap their moves for new and better ones and it being F2P locks most characters, but you can always outskill everyone since it feels somehow fair and the characters you are given are fun to play.

    I honestly greatly prefer the idea of gaming companies doing mega franchise crossovers that *aren’t* fighting games. To me it kind of spices things up instead of just having a bunch of smash bros clones. The main game that comes to mind when I think of this is Namco High. I think the concept is really fun of having a more unique way of having a cross franchise crossover.
