It's not a friggin party game. It is a fighter with additional side-games that also involves fighting. I dont see any goddamn dancing, fishing, cooking, or eating contests! Just straight up fighting! End of story!

Nah,
SSBB is a hardcore turn based action rpg with a flight sim built in.

Of course it's a fighting game, never been marketed as anything but.

I hate these type of arguments. It's what ever the hell you want to call it. It's a fighting game because the primary idea is to fight the other guy. 15 years ago when the internet didn't decide to catagorize every damn thing, it would have been a fighter. It's no different then when games like Streets of Rage, or Final Fight were simply called sidescrolling fighters. In the end, the goal is to FIGHT your opponent. That simple concept makes it a fighter.

It is rather pathetic that there are still people out there that challenge its status as a fighting game when even their beloved GameSpot lists it as one.

I agree, I just don't consider SSBB a fighting game. Don't get me wrong guys I am not bashing SSBB infact I reckon its an awseome game, just not a fighting game, a party brawler or something like that for sure.

Its in a class of its own, some people say that its not a figher (even though you can do 1v1...),and its definetly not a party game, But a Brawler. If it was a party game, it would have minigames, which it does not, unless you count all the classics they incorporated into it to relive your childhood.

ssbb is a fighting game. trying to call it something else is silly

plus the fact that its featured in the EVO championship series along with Street Fighter, Virtua fighter and Tekken should cement its category as a FIGHTING GAME

Their logic is "if it is more popular than our favorites, its in another genre", which logically means that Halo is not an FPS and Dragon Quest is not an RPG (neither is World of Warcraft).

What a fantastic argument. Listing other fighting games with no further explination makes SSB not a fighter.

It is a fighter plain and simple. You pick a character from a selection screen, pick a stage, and have them fight it out. End of story.

Powerstone is incredibly weak when compared to SSBM (haven't played Brawl, so I can't speak on what I haven't played).

Either way, I have no interest in seeing cuttsie little Nintendo characters beating each other up. To me fighting games are renters. I haven't rented one fighter that is worth buying but this is only my opinion.

Not a true fighting game. But still a great game. I always called it a platforming-fighter.

Been playing Brawl for almost a whole month now... it's enjoyable. I wish stage editor was more robust, but leaves room for the next game. Oh and online needs much improvement.

Other than those two things, it's great. Can't wait until I can actually read the menus instead of memorizing those gigantic buttons.

Many fanboys. I invite them all to tell me what makes it not a fighting game. I can trace every element of Super Smash Bros to one fighter or another.

Street Fighter isn't a fighting game. Neither is Sould Cailibur. All you do is fight the other guy. If you tell me that its a fighter game, then youre a fanboy. Lulz.

Seriously, though. You fight the other guy. Who cares if that other guy has health or percentage. Calling Super Smash Bros anything else then a Fighter is like calling Mass Effect anything else but an RPG. They aren't traditional, but who cares.

You realize that you can win Soul Caliber just by pressing the same button over and over again. Good luck trying to do that in a Super Smash Bros game. Calling Smash a button masher is a huge slap in the face for those "real" fighters. I have played some other fighters, and I find myself pressing the same button over and over until my foe is dead. You can't do that in Smash.

That explains the 8.9 Melee got. Yeah, and what did the last Soul Caliburs get... Um... I'm thinking each one, besides that perfect one... got an 8.5. Yeah, outscored but .4 points. Looks like that button smasher with no depth just owned your "super hardcore fighter game that you obviously don't have to push one button over and over again unlike the uber kiddy Smash like you do."

ok 2 thing wrong with your statement.. um your first quote. It playes like a normal controler so no ""waggle"" so first arguement flawed. 2nd. children with no money can afford it.. um.. $10. less then 360 and ps3.games. yeah, they must be really broke.
