You play stick or pad? I see some Americans playing claw style on pad and I'm like


I want something off the wall. I have no idea how Artorias hasn't been added in either Tekken or SoulCalibur. People would go nuts for him

Clearly you mean cause there's only 4 Sunday games instead of 5 and no DBFZ to drag things out like last year and no other reason right?
Cause they left the 2 best games for the end

Not a fighting game.
Games take way too long.
The players are super weirdos.

One year, the commentators started crying on stream. Not a "thug tear", grown men bawling like some hoes. I can't fukk with that community. On any level.

James Chen cries every year on stream/TV at the end of EVO because of how far Street Fighter has come, fukk is you talmbout?

Super Smash Bros.[a] is a series of crossover fighting video games published by Nintendo, and primarily features characters from various franchises of theirs.

A fighting game is a video game genre based around close combat between a limited amount of characters, in a stage in which the boundaries are fixed. The characters fight each others until they defeat their opponents or the time expires. The matches typically consist of several rounds, in a arena, with each character having different abilities but each is relatively viable to choose. Players must master techniques such as blocking, counter-attacking, and chaining attacks together into "combos". Starting in the early 1990s, most fighting games allowed the player to execute special attacks by performing specific input combinations. The fighting game genre is related to but distinct from beat 'em ups, which involve large numbers of enemies against the human player.

The first game to feature fist fighting was Heavyweight Champ in 1976, but it was Karate Champ which popularized one-on-one martial arts games in arcades in 1984. The following year, Yie Ar Kung-Fu featured antagonists with differing fighting styles, while The Way of the Exploding Fist further popularized the genre on home systems. In 1987, Street Fighter introduced hidden special attacks. In 1991, Capcom's highly successful Street Fighter IIrefined and popularized many of the conventions of the genre. The fighting game subsequently became the preeminent genre for competitive video gaming in the early to mid-1990s, particularly in arcades. This period spawned dozens of other popular fighting games, including successful and long running franchises like Street Fighter, Super Smash Bros., Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Guilty Gear, Samurai Shodown, The King of Fighters, Virtua Fighter, Killer Instinct, Darkstalkers, Dead or Alive, SoulCalibur and Arcana Heart.

Everyone saying it's not a fighting game are quite frankly fukkin retarded. It's almost always people who simply are hating because it's different or someone who doesn't understand the mechanics.

Smash is a fighter.
It's as much of a fighter as Mario kart is a racer.

It's just not a typical fighter
Just like Mario kart isn't a typical racer

I think a lot of people feel the game's mechanics are simple to understand just because it has a party mode and Items that can be enabled which is not the case at all. The game's mechanics and movement tech are just as deep as any other fighter, and it's not gonna allow any match to be 50/50 if you're not on the same or greater level than the person you're fighting.
