"Long I had dreamed of a place where fighters come together to build up their skills, face many challenges along the way and grow within themselves. The Smash Academy was built for the purpose of potential warriors to develop their skills, hone their talents and develop relationships among people they can fight with and against. As the new year approaches, they will lead themselves on an unforgettable and worthwhile journey; they will experience many things along the way: many of which can be happy moments to heartbreak to loss. These all combined, will help them grow as a true Smash fighter." - Official statement from President Sakurai, the co-founder of Smash Academy. *Author's note - 11/01/2021: Hey reader! Really appreciate if you've started reading this. Please note I wrote this... Uh, about... 7 years ago and I was young and still navigating the world of literature and fanfiction so bare with me if the plotline is a bit strange (I'm currently having second-hand embarrassment thinking about this fic). Thanks! **also note that this fix takes place in an alternate universe and facts and official game releases do not necessarily correlate with what has been written in this story. I am aware of the history of Smash but decided to spin it for this fic.

the last time i updated this thing for real was in 2015, so i highly advise against reading this. even so, i will never cease to be astonished at the sheer number of individuals who have willingly read and loved this book over the course of the past years. no matter how cringey this old material may be, it brings back a sense of nostalgia to my early wattpad days that i'll never forget. if i was ever feeling down, there would be thousands of people here to listen and to support me. i owe everyone who read this book any time between 2014-2015 the world, for you guys, i'll be forever grateful. thank you for everything. on a side note, please stop and refrain from calling me your "senpai" or "author-nim." cover credit: harry clarke, "silence"
