Another thing that I think could be implemented is an Arcade Ladder mode that takes a page or two from other modern fighting games. I didn't dip into Classic Mode or All-Star mode until Smash 4, and I honestly found both really boring and forgettable ... in fact, I had to look them up a few days ago just to be reminded of what they were specifically. I know that they're .... kind of ... like Arcade modes in other fighting games? I mean, you do fight NPCs and the challenge does get more difficult in classic mode. But an actual Arcade mode would be great! It doesn't even have to have cutscenes in-between battles, just add one big one at the end(although obviously, the more the merrier). An arcade mode could allow for cutscenes that are quirky and funny and aren't connected to one big story like Subspace.

Classic mode in Melee and Brawl were pretty much Arcade mode. Classic mode in Smash 4 might as well be called something else because it definitely doesn't resemble 64's arcade mode.

That is kind of what Melee's Adventure mode was. Quick cut scene between every stage to set things up but didn't really have a plot.

Only Melee elitist will fight you on that. Most people will agree Brawl was awesome.

Brawl was... ok. Not my cup of tea. Even before I knew about wavedashing, L-canceling and the like, I still preferred most of what Melee had (except Adventure mode) over what Brawl had.

I suppose as of recently, I would be considered a Melee elitist most likely, but even before I picked up Melee again, I would've said Brawl was just ok from a casual stand point. I had way more fun with Melee and enjoyed it more as a casual experience than Brawl tbh.

I prefer Melee myself,  but I still love Brawl, I never understood the hate for it.
