As long as there's money in it, who cares? | ||

"eSports phenomenon" probably wasn't in the mission statement for SC:BW's designers, but I think we're all grateful it became what it is. On Brawl+, I think the niche it fills won't see much expansion, since it's really a segment they're trying to create out of two antipodes. There are hardcore gamers, and then there are scrubs. These segments' demands are differentiated enough that products that tailor specifically to their demands will always appeal more to them than those that try to grab both. It's like trying to market a vehicle to both blue-collar workers and movie stars. There are already vehicles that serve each segment much, much better, and there is no reason a product meeting a mix of their demands will be wanted any more. I might play Brawl+ if given the opportunity, but much persuasion will be needed before I decide it's more worthy of my time than Melee. | ||

If that were true, you'd be playing the game nintendo made, not brawl +  You also wouldn't be banning over half the stages and all the items, but that's a whole different story.Actually, the biggest Mortal Kombat site recently shut down because they felt so insulted by the game developers that they simply gave up on it. On a slightly different note, why is the ssb community trying so hard to play one game only? Every major fighting game tournament runs several games, and I definitely don't like the idea of throwing away both melee and brawl for a hacked version of the game. (I did my best to hide my overwhelming bias against smash/smashboards. If it came out, I apologize in advance D: ) | ||

For those that don't understand how groundbreaking this is, basically imagine SC2 was released features such as units randomly dying, your actions take 10 frames to respond (extra extra high latency as a standard feature), and every great micro and macro combo completely impossible to pull off due to that latency mechanic. Then imagine someone figures out how to win 100% of the time with zerg, due to some other mechanic. Then imagine Blizzard saying they were done with the starcraft universe and never patched the game for future balance reasons or anything else. That's basically the point SSBM fans are at right now, in this stage of brawl. If independents within the community modified this imaginary SC2 to take out all the bad and keep in all the good, wouldn't you be excited for it? Of course, I haven't played this new version of SSBB yet, so I should withhold my opinions, but from how the videos look it seems like exactly what I was looking for, but didn't get, when brawl came out. | ||

Yeah I agree 100%. For those who were excited about Brawl this is pretty amazing because we all felt a bit ripped off with the game, and now it is becoming competitive again. | ||

Many fighters are higher level than any Smash game, and that's only one genre. That's not knocking the game, since I love StarCraft, and there's games played at a higher level than it. | ||

What games are played at a higher level than Starcraft and how can you define what level they are on? I'm not disagreeing I'm just curious. | ||

That said, I wouldn't take the position that smash is the godsend of fighting games, or that its completely terrible. Its just another flavor in the fighting game genre, and obviously not the tastiest one. Except for some people who don't like most fighting games, like me, it is the tastiest in the genre. I love the whole knock-out rather than hp style of winning. I also love edge-guarding, something that no other fighter has. | ||
