"Super Smash Bros: Melee." - Furrowed brows, pain in your thumbs, trash talk your Mom would blush to hear. That sweet rush of power you once knew as you beat all the kids on your block will be but a distant memory as SmashBot challenges you to a duel for your pride - live on stage. SmashBot is the Artificial Intelligence I created that plays the cult classic video game Smash Bros optimally. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, remorse, or fear. This final boss won't stop until all your lives are gone.
