20XX 2: Electric Smashaloo

(I hope you're at least passively aware of the Super Smash Bros. Melee competitive scene if you even want a prayer of understanding this nonsense.)


The year is 2791.

The Global Conglomerate of Nintendo-Comcast-Amazon-Disney has released the highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. 90 after 36 years of development.

Instead of character and stage selection screens, players must browse an in-game search engine and find what they want by searching its name and characteristics.

The Global Conglomerate of Nintendo-Comcast-Amazon-Disney's central Government declares ownership of the game to be required by law.

The game immediately receives universal acclaim among reviewers and players alike.

Thought Police begin tracking and systematically exterminating any dissenting reviewers.

SmashBoards immediately begins debating what 10 characters and 4 stages will be considered legal for upcoming government-mandated tournaments.

Elsewhere, deep in an underground bunker, the great-great-grandchildren of Mew2King, AMSA, Hungrybox and Leffen huddle together with the last remaining functional CRT TV and Nintendo GameCube, and the final four remaining GameCube controllers, playing the last known copy of Super Smash Bros, Melee.

Having been hidden away for so long, the four are now incapable of saying anything other than "1v1, Fox only, Final Destination, no Johns"

Inside, they know that no other video game in history has succeeding in living up to the competitive perfection that is Melee, despite also knowing such thoughts would lead to a swift execution at the hands of the Thought Police if they were to ever leave their bunker.

Food supplies are dwindling, before long they will have no choice but to either leave their bunker and face the wrath of the Thought Police, or starve.

Somewhere in the Nintendo-Comcast-Amazon-Disney province of Japan, Masahiro Sakurai, still looking no older than 30, can sense that the reign of competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee is finally coming to an end.

In an instant, he rapidly ages and turns to dust, knowing his life's goal has come to an end.
