"Oh hey, #NickelodeonAllStarBrawl2 on #Steam is on heavy discount... sure, why not? I like Smash Bros."

(1 play session later)

"...well this is pretty clearly built on the same bones as SSB (some characters are very solidly the same archetype [Reptar is literally just "the cooler Bowser"]"

But I think it's just solidly, unironically good on its own merits. Not sure if I'd give it the edge over #MultiVersus as my "can't play smash" replacement... there's less microtransactions, at least.
