I bought Smash Brothers U and it's the first Smash Brothers I've played. I don't get why people like this so much? As fighters go I don't think it's very good, so do people just like it because it has a ton of well known cast & stages?

First time I played Smash, I didn't know like 80% of the characters. I mained Samus and I don't think I had ever even heard of Metroid at the time. I like it because it's fun.

Also my friends suck at it so I regularly deliver unto them the bodying.

One reason people like it is because of how customizable the experience is. If you like playing with no items, you can do that. All items on, but appearing infrequently, you can do it. Only Smash Balls, okay. Or only Pokeballs and lots of 'em. Play on stages with bosses or with hazards or with platforms or with none of those things. Play one-on-one or two-on-two or three-on-one or 8 players FFA, whatever floats your boat. The OST is enormous and excellent and, naturally, customizable as well.

So basically if you asked ten people who love Smash Bros to explain why, forget about getting different answers, it'll probably sound like they're all playing completely different games. Maybe you just haven't found what you like about Smash Bros yet.
