The History Behind Super Smash Bros. series are all videos related to the showcase of where some things from the [[Super Smash Bros. series]] come from. They were started on December 2006 by CrappyCaptureDevice, by explaining the origins from the character's moves in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. He soon got popular on YouTube and continued with his series of videos, alongside some tutorials of how he does them. When SSBB got released, some people asked CCD if he will do the same with that game, and he answered: "possibly but not right away", but also mentioned that he would like to see what other people can do. Since then, many people have posted their own Brawl videos.
