The Most Chaotic Super Smash Bros. Hype Cycle (Patreon)

Let me take you back to the distant year, 2018. Horrifying, I know. A blossoming boy unsure of his path in life begins his final year of High School with only one thing on his mind, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. This is going to be another personal one. It’s a deep dive, so if you don’t like me you may want to sit this one out. Let me tell you the story of the 10 month internet hype cycle of one of my favorite games of all time. Making… one of my favorite experiences of all time.
