Prima Games are responsible for the creation of the Official Strategy Guide for ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. These books go into detail of strategies, character biographies, stage information and other miscellaneous pieces of ''Smash Bros.''-related information, but are also fairly infamous for featuring noticeable mistakes, such as a false claim that {{SSBB|Ike}}'s [[Quick Draw]] can be canceled. Prima Games' ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' Official Strategy Guide is also mocked by competitive players for its more causal ranking of the game's characters, with an example of such ranking being how {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, currently reigning at the top of the fan-made [[tier list]] in ''Brawl'', is on par with {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, the character at the bottom of said tier list, after they were both rated 6/10. While the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' guide has been well-received in comparison and features in-depth explanations of advanced mechanics, much of the information on veteran characters is based on their viability and gameplan in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', for example citing {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}'s overpowered and controversial status and explaining how to perform her ''SSB4'' combos despite her severe nerfs and much more difficult combo game in ''Ultimate''. | |||
