Super Smash Bros. Quintessence

Super Smash Bros. Quintessence is the fifth entry in the Super Smash Bros. series, following Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U (and their Nintendo Switch port).
The plot of Quintessence explores themes of minimalism, isolation, and the overwhelming void between matter and between the stars, themes that extend into the game's overall design.
Quintessence also departs from the series' and fanbase's skewed focus on newcomers, a shift that was arguably first overemphasized with Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The game instead highlights all of the other content that fans love about the Super Smash Bros. series: for example, uhh

==Characters==
Character 	Description
 Luigi 	
Self-identifying meme fans will be pleased to learn that Luigi's moveset now consists of doing absolutely nothing.
Aesthetically, Luigi takes after his famous appearance in Super Mario 64 (not to be confused with the Nintendo DS remake, wherein his model was significantly altered).
Luigi's home stage is Luigi's Mansion.
 Breadward 	
Breadward is a Pixl made of oats and lard. Since debuting in Super Paper Mario, Breadward has become a fan favorite, and is even thought to have inspired the Toasti console.
Breadward's home stage is World of Nothing.
 MissingNo. 	
Glitch Pokémon MissingNo. is a memory-corrupting entity that can be encountered in Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version.
Because the technical reasons for MissingNo.'s appearance are specific to those games, MissingNo. does not appear in Super Smash Bros. Quintessence.
MissingNo.'s home stage is Cinnabar Island.
 Gaster 	
 Miss Zarves	
The first fourth-party character in the Super Smash Bros. series, Miss Zarves is a teacher at Wayside School of the titular book series. She teaches the nineteenth story, a floor that the school was built without.
Miss Zarves endlessly hands out busywork and gives perfect grades no matter what is turned in. Her moveset is based on this; she'll ace out her opponents on the battlefield.
According to promotional material, Miss Zarves' home stage would be Nineteenth Story. However, there is no Miss Zarves. There is no nineteenth story. Sorry.
 Mii Fighter	
As of the version 1.2 update to Super Smash Bros. Quintessence, Mii Fighter has been patched out due to concerns over user-generated copyright infringement.Viacom to file lawsuit against Bernie Sanders for unlicensed SpongeBob Mii avatar. CNN.Viacom v. Sanders § Role in subsequent decisions and politics. Wikipedia. This update otherwise added nothing to the game.
Mii Fighter's home stage was Miiverse.

Character 	Description
 Luigi's Mansion 	
Luigi's Mansion is an illusory Ghost House created by Boos in the titular game. It currently no longer exists.
Luigi's Mansion is Luigi's home stage.
 World of Nothing	
The World of Nothing is the barren remains of the Sammer Kingdom after being ravaged by The Void.
Super Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai personally disintegrated the Sammer Kingdom so that World of Nothing could appear in Quintessence. He had created a new Void by adding Ridley in the previous game.
World of Nothing is Breadward's home stage.
 Cinnabar Island 	
Cinnabar Island is an island located off the southern coast of Kanto, which was just destroyed by The Void. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Cinnabar Island was MissingNo.'s home stage.
 Miiverse 	
The Miiverse stage returns from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, acting like it did in that game. To better reflect updates to the Miiverse service, the stage now imports all of its static assets from the browser client.
If Miiverse is unavailable (e.g. for routine maintenance, or in anticipation of a major update), the stage falls back onto services such as Flipnote Hatena and the Wii Shop Channel.
Miiverse is Mii Fighter's home stage.
==Reception==
Super Smash Bros. Quintessence has created a burgeoning competitive community. However, less skilled fans have widely complained that the learning curve is too steep, characterizing the game as "impossible to win". Through social media, Nintendo published a press release explaining that this was by design, because nothing is more intimidating than the blank page.Press Release Defies Smash Bros. Quintessence Novices To "Git Gud". Nintendo Life.
Upon questioning its minute filesize, dataminers have found that Super Smash Bros. Quintessence is, in reality, an extremely basic program that paints the screen white.

That aside, I have no one to blame for this but myself—if only because no one is here!
