Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has used the same circle with two lines through it as a logo since the N64 original, and now fans can finally learn what it symbolizes.
In a recent Japanese YouTube video, series creator Masahiro Sakurai explained that the logo is no random bit of design.
According to a translation from @FarmboyinJapan on Twitter, Sakurai said that the two intersecting lines are a nod to the many franchise “crossovers” present in Smash Bros. The intersection also has the effect of slicing the circle into four sections representing Smash’s four-person multiplayer.
