While not as bad as with later games, even back in the late nineties Super Smash Bros. inspired plenty of divisive opinions among fans.
- Base Breaking Character: Pikachu is the series' earliest example of this, and draws exactly two reactions from fans: love for its cuteness and amazingly powerful moveset, and hatred for it being an annoyingly fast and overpowered little rat who never shuts up.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Ness and Captain Falcon, for being relative unknowns in a game full of Nintendo icons that possess fun and powerful movesets. Their appearances in this game would in turn make them far more popular in general as time went on.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Kirby's top-tier status here can make his fans cringe, since his status in every other game is far on the other side of the spectrum, bordering on Joke Character status in Melee. Definitely wince-worthy for the pink puff's large and loyal fanbase.
- Seinfeld Is Unfunny: While an undeniably fun and influential game, its small list of unlockables, shallower movesets, and far more bare-bones content mean that it definitely hasn't aged as well compared to later entries such as Melee and Brawl.
- Tier-Induced Scrappy: Pikachu's on the high end of the spectrum. Not only is it stupidly fast and powerful, but its attacks have weird hitboxes and its recovery is by and large better than the rest of the cast combined. While never officially banned a'la Brawl!Meta Knight, early Smash 64 tournaments often had a "soft ban" where there was an unspoken agreement that it was an obnoxious and unfair character best left unplayed.
- Back to Super Smash Bros. (video game)
