Is it time for Nintendo to rename Super Smash "Bros" series?

Really? Asking if a game should have a more inclusive is why this generation of human beings is lost?
It's fine if you don't want the name changed. Don't act like it's some great human tragedy for it to be considered.
It's kinda ironic that the name probably came from nintendo assuming the game wouldn't sell if it didn't sound like a Super Mario Bros. Spinoff.
Hey, remember when King's Schtick was that she was pretending to be a man? Neither do i.

While it would be nice, but realistically not possible due to it's branding and considering the very base foundation and establishment of the game... I'll let it subside and choose to not let it bother me too much or at all. All that matters is that they put more represent-able female characters in the game to play as and I'll be content.
You can argue that Ryu is THE street fighter given he's basically a globe throtting hobo.
To be fair, at that time Pokémon didn't have a gender and there was no heart shaped tail, so it could be one of the other
Everyone getting heated over this is falling right for it. That's the reaction this thread was made to give you. Nobody gives a shit about the name of Smash Bros when there are actual representation issues in games, including Smash itself.
If there's any reason to change the name, it's because there's very few actual brothers in the game.
First post nailed it.

The original title font was meant to look like super mario bros, with smash exploding over mario.
Call me when they rename Legend of Zelda to Legend of Link, when they rename every Halo game that doesn't have a Halo in it, and when they rename Metroid Fusion despite not having any Metroids in it.
Nah, it's too iconic a brand at this point. Same reason you really can't rename Mario Kart to 'Nintendo Kart' or 'Smash Kart' because they've expanded the roster beyond Mario characters.
