If we can prise you away from your lovely copies of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for just a second, allow us to share this video in which real humans are also getting in on the act with an almighty Smash fight of their own. Smashception?
Not content with simply playing the game, these stunt performers opted to recreate the usual scenes from the action in a real-life setup. If that isn't enough to convince you to give it a watch, this talented bunch have individually worked on films like Avengers: End Game, Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: Civil War, and Captain Marvel, and Ben Aycrigg (playing Mario) is actually Negan's stunt double on The Walking Dead.
The video's director Micah Moore tells us that, in their personal time, the guys practice new choreography and stunt ideas, sometimes allowing themselves to add some quirky fun into proceedings by working on game and comic book concept ideas. It's well worth a watch, so make sure to check it out up above.
We considered trying to recreate the video at Nintendo Life HQ but, unfortunately, the end result was much closer to that Parkour scene from The Office US...
Feel free to share your thoughts on the stunt performers' smashing video in the comments below.

Does this mean Negan is coming to Smash too after bashing his way into Tekken?
Saw this yesterday and it's really great to see, much better than I had ever expected to be honest. Absolutely love it.
The CGI is impressive. Only an expert eye like mine could notice the perfectly blended CGI, but if you look closely, you might notice that some of the effects aren't real.
Smash Bros 3D Land.
Great stuff. Great talent
It's amazing what angles (and other film making tricks) and stunt training can do
That was fun to watch. Hats off to the stunt performers, incredible talent. Still finding it funny that Mario is fighting with black socks only on.
So cool! It's nice to see there are so many smash bros fans out there
Man i want them to make a longer smash movie lol. Was fun to watch
Really cool video. This guys really did a good job with their moves and effects.
I love this so much! I had a big, dorky smile on my face the whole time watching it. 😃
Falcon Punch!
This makes me want a smash bros movie more and more...
These guys are great!!!!! Sound edit was really nicely done, great stunts, great sequence!!!!
The guy in the captain falcon outfit is the only one that has had some real martial arts training.
Is... is that Minecraft Grass Blocks in the background of the thumbnail?

Kinda blown away. That was awesome. Happy to see a lack of negative comments, too!
