With
three
down
and only one more to go, we’re almost through with the Super Smash Marvel
series. There’s plenty left to go, though, with our biggest roster expansion
ever in the fourth game.
Super Smash Bros 4 was
released just over a year ago, in late 2014. 4 added more characters to the series than any other game, starting
with 51 characters (12 more than were in Super
Smash Bros Brawl); then, through downloadable content, the game added seven
more characters (the last two of which, Bayonetta and Corryn from the Fire Emblem series, were announced just
last week). Meanwhile, in the Marvel world, the comics were gearing up towards
the huge Secret Wars event while the studio was moving from the unexpected success of Guardians of the Galaxy to their biggest
release yet in Avengers 2 (meanwhile
over at Fox Studios, the X-Men had just had their own huge release in the form
of Days of Future Past). This is
where we pick up our Smash Marvel series.
