Should I bother playing any Super Smash Bros. games if I can't

The story mode in brawl is pretty fun and interesting in comparison to the other smash games and their "campaign modes". I enjoy playing smash bros competitively though and brawl is the worst for this. If you want to play competitive, melee is the way to go. Or if you want a more competitive smash bros brawl, look into the mod Project M. It really changes up the game and makes it more fun on a competitive level. I've never played smash for Wii U but i have heard that it is also fun.

Play the story mode in Brawl as your first experience with Smash if you want to hate the series. It's dogshit, don't listen to this idiot.

Without the experience of playing with friends on the couch much of the appeal of Smash is going to be lost on you. If you get that opportunity, play anything BUT Brawl. 64, Melee, and Smash 4 are all respectable choices and all good for different reasons.
