Anyone who says this isn't a real fighting game is just in denial, or hypocritical. Most people that say it's not a fighting game because it doesn't copy traditional fighting formula, yet complain about games in other genres when they just stick to the formula.

This is exactly what i thought. People hate SSBB because it doesn't stick with the regular formula. Yet they always complain when aseries or genre is too much the same.

Lemmy says he considers Motorhead a rock and roll band, not a heavy metal band. Too bad Motorhead IS A HEAVY METAL BAND, even if its founder disagrees.

It's a fun party game, but nowhere close to being a good fighter.

You should look up some videos on youtube of competitive battles. It may not be traditional, but it is still a great fighting game.

because it's not a fighting game, it's a pary game.

It just makes people who like the game feel good to say it.That dosen't mean It dosen't take skill to play, butthat dosen't mean it' a fighting game because it requires some skill. Final Fight and Double Dragon are a couple of games where you "fight" other people and require"skill" to playbut that dosen't change the fact that they are Beat'em ups dose it?!.

I cant find a link personally, I believe it was said around the time the game was released which was awhile ago, but my main point is that its not to far fetched to call the game something other than a fighter if some of the developers behind the game would agree.

Edit: I think LordQuorthon, remembers the statement

Yes it is a real fighting game just because it's animated doesn't mean its not a real fighting game.

Of course it is. You're fighting people, just because instead of KO you have to get them out of the area doesn't make it any less of a fighting game.

That is only if you play teh "hardcorez" way (no items). I would like to add that coin matches should be played more often.

Actualy, since you can pick up to 4 people to beat the crap out of each other, woulden't that make it twice the fighting game that most are?

Of course it is a fighting game.

It has judo rules, basically requiring you to throw your opponent out of the arena. I would say sumo rules, but sumo is just judo for large, rotund people.

Ok, when you're King Dee Dee Dee, then it's sumo, but when you'r samus, it's judo.

It's a fighting game but I think there should be a new new for it's genre. Look at Turtles: Smash Up same type of game but it's not a normal fighter. There really should be another name like party fighter or something.

Maybe smash fighter
