***Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*** is a crossover action platform fighting game for the Nintendo Switch, and is the fifth installment in the *Super Smash Bros.* series (sixth if the two versions of *Super Smash Bros. For Wii U & 3DS* are counted as separate titles).

## Playthrough

Sometime during 2018, Chris and Veronica streamed *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*, playing through Classic Mode as Fox and Marth respectivelly. They noted how much better graphically the game looked to the previous installment, *For Wii U & 3DS*. After they completed Classic, Chris had to fight Tario, the evil version of Mario who looks suspiciously similar to Captain Falcon (unfortunately, he lost).

The two decided to play the standard Smash Mode, where they fought over the Sword of Mocqua, an elusive item Veronica and her brother fought over centuries ago. They managed to unlock both Raichu, who was wearing a Zelda costume, and Shit, who looks like Pit, but lost to Mr. Mime, who was wearing a Bowser costume.

On February 21st, 2021, Chris, Lyle and Tomar started playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Before they started recording, Lyle had boasted his skill level to the other Boys, warning they'd have to team up to defeat him, all while calling himself "The Smash Fash." It was also revealed that Chris had made a special ruleset named "sephi" so that he could roleplay as Cloud and Sephiroth from *Final Fantasy VII*.

During the first battle, Tomar as the commentator called Chris by his old Newgrounds name "OneySephiroth", to which he got very mad. During each fight, Tomar kept stuffing his face with Five Guys, which the other Boys mistook for Popeye's Chicken, This prompted Lyle to write the Tomar Rap. After a few more matches, Chris had discovered that he was using the wrong name, which disabled his tilts. This was a deliberate trick placed by Zach so that Chris could lose. Afterwards, Tomar finished his food and stepped into the ring.

Throughout the playthrough, the Boys continuously quoted "I CURSE YOU," which originates from JonTron's Food Games (PART 1) video, where a gremlin voiced by Zach himself attempts to curse Jon; though the Boys never picked up on this. Chris also mentions how he misses Melee's Adventure Mode and how he hates the Subspace Emissary Adventure Mode from Brawl, as he thought it took itself way too seriously (It's worth mentioning that the story for Subspace was written by Kazushige Nojima, who also wrote *Kingdom Hearts*, which might explain a few things).

Chris and Lyle start making Link noises, which prompts Chris to say that Wind Waker Link is his favourite incarnation of the character (Despite this, he would later on go on to say that Ocarina of Time and Link to the Past Link are the best; in the same playthrough no less), and wonders why they didn't use the same engine to make a new game in the same style. Lyle brings up Phantom Hourglass, but Chris opposes to it, saying "that does not count; it looks like fucking ass". Lyle brings up the hypocrisy of sex appeal in modern video games, explaining how everyone was very much against the idea for around six years, right up until Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village's reveal, with these same people now horny for her. Chris says it depends on the first person who comments about it online. As they converse about it, Tomar wins the match, marking it as his first win of the playthrough (at least we think so; as it was mysteriously cut out of the final edit).

Chris retells the story of how his friend was catfished by a girl on Tinder and his fruitless attempt to get her out of his house. The Bois start a conversation about Final Fantasy VII spoilers after Chris brings up Wheelchair Cloud. Lyle tells Tomar a hypothetical where he is in a bath and someone adds jello mix to the bath, asking if he'd still bathe in the jello bath, to which Tomar says yes.

This playthrough ended on March 15th, 2021.
