Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is possibly the most underrated Smash of all-time.
The original game still gets some love because of nostalgia, OG status, and a very small tournament scene.
Melee is loved by not only casuals, but namely the small amount of tournament players.
Brawl gets some love for Subspace Emissary and bringing Snake and Sonic to Smash.
Smash 3DS gets some love for being the first portable release and Smash Run.
Ultimate is the most recent title and most packed with fighters and stages.
But Wii U? It gets lost in the shuffle. A lot of what makes Ultimate amazing is in Wii U, but Ultimate outdoes it in almost every way. I do like trophies and a few stages like Jungle Hijinxs. I have tons of fond memories of Wii U and still put more time in it than Smash Ultimate. Admittedly, I played more local multiplayer in 2014 and played less games overall.
Wii U had the best Smash for 4 years.
