The Subspace Emissary is the best thing that ever happened in the Super Smash Bros. series.

It pisses me off when I see people saying Brawl is the worst SSB game.

I'm certainly in the crowed of people that pisses you off.   

Brawl is the best for a single player. It is good for 4+ players with items. It is the worst by far for 1 vs 1 or anything more competitive. 



Blizzard always did make good cutscenes as mentioned in the thread. I especially like them from the first StarCraft. When starting a new mission the briefings was between the higher ups and focused on the political aspects while the cutscenes showed us the little guy out on the battlefield and I always liked that contrast.

I do not really remember a lot of good cutscenes from games. Few leave an impression that lasts. I always liked the intro and outro cut scenes in Zelda Links Awakening, but mostly because they was presented on the game boy and or not much more than a few pictures.
For some reason I also like in engine cut scenes to be less memorable than shifting style.



The best cutscenes are probably from companies like Blizzard and Bungie, who aren't necessarily known for the storytelling prowess.

Yeah Halo 2 anniversary had gorgeous cutscenes that dripped with nostalgia for those of us who played the original, though the story they tell is basic at best.
