Viewing Single Trivia

In a 1999 interview with game's director and designer Masahiro Sakurai published in Nice Games magazine vol.3, he was asked if Super Smash Bros. appealed to a younger age group? He responded:

"No, I wouldn’t say that—at least judging from what I saw at the most recent tournament. The “height gap” between players was funny: you had adults playing matches with kids half their size. Of course the core players are middle school and elementary age, but I’ve seen kids as young as 3 and adults over 30. I would say Smash’s uniqueness lies not so much in appealing to a wide age range, as it does a wide variety of skill levels. I’ve had people tell me it’s a huge hit at their preschool, and other people tell me how great the combo system is for a versus fighting game."
