The project was published on Kickstarter on February 9th, 2016 with a goal of raising $6,303. The goal would be reached only 9 days later. Funding for the project ended on March 10th, 2016. The project ended up earning $9,290 from 337 backers. Following the successful funding of the project, False began recording major tournaments and interviewing players.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1098411010/smash-3-super-smash-bros-brawl-wii-u-documentary/posts/1706963|title="Thank you for your patience!"|date=2016-10-12}}</ref> By late May of 2017, False had accumulated nearly one terabyte of footage for the documentary. Despite this, a lot of footage and many interviews were still needed. Acquiring an interview with {{Sm|Otori}} was notably a big obstacle in development due to there existing a large language barrier and Otori not being present within the community recently. Editing on the documentary began in June or July 2017.  Prior to beginning the editing process, False contacted {{Sm|Samox}}, the director and producer of [[The Smash Brothers]] for help and insight on how to organize footage. A program named [https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview Scrivener] was used to help organize footage. Around the same time as contacting Samox, False managed to find and work with a narrator for the documentary.
