SSB is toys of those characters. That's why they turn into figures and why all of the items are figures.
And why the final boss is a hand.

OG Smash Bros intro to see where this idea came from. Melee’s intro iirc shows off the idea as well.
Easy there.
Just because they are toys doesn't mean they are not people.
Look we’ve all seen toy story
Also the scale of characters is completely inconsistent
But the difference is they like beating the hell out of eachother
Yeah, I picture them like Goku and Vegeta. If you're not fighting at 100% with the intent to kill your opponent, you're insulting them gravely.
It's never truly to the death though, even if they get yeeted into oblivion they just respawn. They are immortal beings
Goku and Vegeta don't actually go all out and kill their opponents very often either. They like to tell their opponents to go all out while holding back as much as possible themselves because they don't respect their opponents unless they make them go all out. Pretty much every single character in that multiverse is like that. But it does sound badass, even if it's a subtle insult to their opponent.
aka the Pokemon rationale
No, Pokemon are forced to beat the snot out of eachother and then shoved back into a tiny ball
In-game lore says that they enjoy combat, akin to sparring matches.
Oh right, they love getting beaten to the point of losing consciousness, I forgot the Pokemon company buried that in there
I'm not saying it's a good rationale
For sure. I guess all Pokemon are sadists at heart
This is why I play Mario Party they have it coming
Would you rather it be like that one Black Mirror episode?
Striking Vipers, for the curious.
Or that bit in Altered Carbon where a couple fight to the death to see who gets an upgraded sleeve.
Yeah! maybe they are enjoying it, and the blast off from the stage is just them climaxing. Some are able to submissively survive to the outer edges of the arena, and other characters are edge guard dominant types
That was a pretty fun video! Wasn't sure what I would get without a title on your post.
Haha I was looking for this video as soon as I saw the thread. For context, this is the animated music video for SMASH!, a song by video game parody band Starbomb.
The lines that popped into my head were
You know
When Mario and Peach team up you are screwed
Luigi: You're my own BROTHER!
