Super Smash Bros.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I love smash bros and wanted to see what the Wikipedia had to say, especially about the best players in Ultimate. I follow the tournament scene and wanted to see what the article said.

Evaluate the article
The article was accurate and did a good job of covering basics. The opening paragraph was clean and just detailed enough. It could have used a mention of the series character come from.

There were very few pictures over all. When each game was discussed, cover art for the games would add to the page.

The Esports section was also out of date. It was also very short. A few tournaments were listed, but the breakdown of important events in the current scene like smash world tour, super majors, or the fall of smash bros from evo were not mentioned. There were no references to the most influential player either which could be worthwhile.

The audience was very neutral. I couldn't tell if it was aimed more for a parent seeing if the game was worth getting for a kid, or for a gamer seeing if this was a game or competitive environment they would be interested in.

The content throughout wasn't wrong, but felt out of date for Ultimate. A list of characters was never provided. Mentioning additions like Minecraft Steve or Banjo and Kazooie would be historically relevant and paint a better picture of the scene and history.

Overall the article was not poor, but not excellent or even good. It was fair but could use much more detail.
