It\u2019s natural for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, <\/em><\/strong>aka\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>the best-selling fighting game of all time,<\/a>\u00a0to finally welcome the blocky poster boy for the best-selling video game ever, Minecraft\u2019s<\/em> Steve, to its enormous roster of fighters. Both franchises revolutionized gaming in their own way; Masahiro Sakurai\u2019s Smash Bros.<\/em> invented the platform fighter back 1999; while Minecraft<\/em> pretty much crafted its own thing when it started to make waves back in 2010.<\/p>\n

Given both games’ massive cultural impact, it’s also no wonder they each have popular documentaries that are not only big within their communities, but even hold up well in the eyes of all gamers. Funnily enough, both films started production around the same time in 2011, premiering less than one year apart from each other, though that\u2019s where the similarities end as they take very different approaches to telling each game’s story.<\/p>\n

As its title suggests, Minecraft: The Story of Mojang<\/em> mainly sets its gaze on the developers behind the game, the journey from a one-man indie operation to the worldwide phenomenon that made its way onto every device with a display feature. On the other hand,\u00a0The Smash Brothers<\/em> documentary, just like the competitive scene it showcases, is forced to play things a bit differently by instead focusing on the players behind the game, due to it lacking official company support from Nintendo.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Unlike Minecraft<\/em>, Super Smash Bros.<\/em> was conceived with a very specific purpose in mind: a fighting game that absolutely anyone could pick up with instantly. It’s just a bunch of Nintendo\u2019s lovable characters beating each other up, all fun and no complicated buttons. As seen in the documentary, that changed as Super Smash Bros. Melee<\/em> opened up a new world of possibilities thanks to a wide repertory of advanced techniques still being discovered today.<\/p>\n

While The Smash Brothers<\/em>\u00a0is completely centered around the franchise\u2019s second entry, spanning from 2004 to 2013, the birth of its competitive scene spread quickly onto Smash 64<\/em> and every subsequent sequel since, up until the current title Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> which last year was EVO’s biggest record-setting event<\/a>. Even Melee<\/em>, set to celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2021, is still a relevant competitive game, an almost unheard of feat in the world of e-sports.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Minecraft<\/em>, shown being built from scratch to be the ultimate sandbox experience, offering an almost infinite world with endless possibilities. Since its official release in 2011, players have built elaborate pieces like functioning music boxes, computers or entire Minecraft<\/em> cities<\/a>, with the game even finding its way inside classrooms for educational purposes.<\/p>\n
