Why do they look like K-On! characters?

>>344323212
I'm not autistic, it's just that through the years, Smashplayers have been bullied by fightingfags because we're not "real fighting games". Don't expect us not to fight back after all these years.

Watch out.

>>344323312
Uhh no. They're styled like anime characters, not just K-On.

>>344323161
All smash games are fighting games already you autist, FGCggots will never stop crying they aren't, so who cares. Smash will ALWAYS be at EVO, APEX, etc, and there is nothing they can do about it

So because starcraft has more APM and you fight against each other it should be considered the most technical fighting game ever?

They look more like K-On! characters, like all that guy's drawings.

Melee is a fighting game. You are literally getting trolled by people who say it isn't and you are falling for the bait. I play traditional 2D fighters and I personally respect the amount of skill, execution, and longevity your scene has and it is still growing. The reason why most of the rest of the FGC don't like any of you can be summed up in your post. You are all elitist, you all smell like shit, a good majority of you are autistic or have aspergers and don't know how to function in public and are worse behind the internet. You will never get the respect you all deserve if you keep putting other fighting games down and raising your own up through bias. Don't give us your opinion on why you think Melee is "better" then other FGs cuz you will just alienate people who would give your scene a chance. Give respect and you will get it in return.

Melee isnt a fighting game in the traditional sense, but i must give the players credit because it requires the most skill to play imo.

Matches arent restricted to the ground and movement is very quick. The game is literally Improv: The Game.

By the way, you can put all the time and energy that you put into shitting on trad fighters/Smash toward getting good at it instead. After all, both are good and enjoyable in their own ways, and you will spend your time being having fun instead of being angry.

>>344323161
Melee is difficult as fuck, technical, and really fun and competitive but is not a fighting game, at least not the same kind of fighting games that Capcom releases and milks. They don´t appeal to the same people and don´t share a lot of rules and properties, or even the way to play them, so there is no reason to put them on the same bag of marshmallows.

But they should divide the genre on sub-genres in this case, just like Marvel and X-Men games are called Hyper Fighting games, others like KoF and SF be called traditional fighting games, and Melee, RoA, Brawlhalla, Sm4sh and others could be called "Platform fighting games"

The problem with the community is how they literally stink the fun out of other fighting games in the events, not any terminology bullshit.

>I will never stop fighting for Melee to be considered a fighting game
the thing about Melee, and basically everything Smash, is that they aren't niche 1v1 exclusive action games (i.e. fighting games) while nearly everything other fightan' is exactly that.

this is exactly why i want more people to stick with the term, Sakurai recently coined, "Character Action Game" for unique and popular action games like Smash than than the petty "Fighting Games".

Melee shouldn't be considered as part of a dying medium only a sensitive group of hood niggers like Low Tier God prefer.

To be fair, this "FGC" has no right to call out anyone on anything, since "FGC" usually just means a group of people that suck Capcom's dick, so no other fighting game can thrive and get a good long lifespan because of it. They're harming any actual communities from being formed or from existing for way longer.

FGC= Capcom fighters

And that's garbage. They have no right to say shit about any game, because any game that isn't a Capcom fighter just isn't worth their time, apparently.

>>344334987
Sakurai said Melee is highly competitive, which it is, but he termed Smash 4 a competitive action game after he announced Bayonetta.
Melee is more technical and has greater capacity for more complex execution, but Smash 4 is generally more balanced across its roster and has a more significant character counterpicking game.

I love Smash, and agree you may be insanely good in terms of tech, but there's one problem. Smash's balance is out of fucking whack. Dont act like any smash game is balanced, because it's not. No competitive fighting game should be that unbalanced.

>>344335685
that's like your opinion man

>>344333770
Nigga, Marvel's big hitstun scaling and wallbounce and groundbounce rules, assuming you aren't playing someone like Nova who can just ignore them, are way too much of a thing to really call Marvel a game with a "free form" combo system.

At the very beginning of the combo, you can basically do whatever usually, but at the combo goes on, things what would work with base hitstun stop working, and therefore if you want to continue your combo, you have to be railroaded along the diminishing list of moves that will still work.

Also, shit like what you posted only works if you can get a TAC off, which can be TAC countered, and only because the initial air state after coming in from a TAC gives you unlimited unscaled hitstun, and the game can be tricked into letting you stay in that state, leading to TAC infinites.


I'm more of a traditional fighting game guy, myself, but Melee is marginally more free-form than most fighters, simply by virtue of how the game handles movement and hitstun.

This thread is was blatantly made just to induce console-wars tier flamewar bullshit. Fuck you, OP

Smash players will always be scrubs because they honestly believe execution is a premiere skill. It's literally everything else that gives a game depth.

When I watch Smash it's just blind guess after blind guess. The commentators are too stupid to even notice. For example, I was watching that japanese yoshi, who apparently is the best yoshi play. He was constantly whiffing up smash head bash thingamabobsie. Then he finally lands one and the commentators EXPLODE saying he has amazing reads. Fucking landing one out of six up smashes is just flat fucking guessing. Fuck that game and the people who like it.

Nintendo doesn't give a shit about e-sports. Capcom invested 1 million for the pro tour.

>>344336423
It's not favoring one character over the rest of the cast, but it's still pretty unbalanced. Not only with characters, but also RNG. Peach pulls, game and watch hammers, villager turnips, all that

>I care about what the FGC says about my game
>I never shut up about how "technical" Melee is
>I always trash talk the latest Smash game and contrast it to Melee
>I always bring up Twitch views to prove a point
>I cannot let go of the obsession with having Melee "approved" as a fighting game

>>344337973
>Maybe Nintendo should develop another game that plays like melee.
they aren't said they will never replace Melee

>>344337973
True melee fans are actually creating a fighting game that plays just like melee now, without the shackles of it being a kiddy nintendo game.

Here is the first character.

Because chess doesn't offer us over 20 different factions to use. There's just white and black, and both sides are equal outside of which one gets to go first (which I know is a big difference, but you get what I mean).

If you're going to make a game with multiple characters and make that a focal point of the game, you better be ready for criticism when over 75% of them are not viable.

>>344338530
if you're 14 years old then yeah

>>344326091
I know this is bait but people seem to forget that melee was made in 8 months and was unfinished and glitchy because Nintendo needed a launch title really badly

>>344337973
If Smash 4 had those mechanics then most of the cast would be invalidated by Sheik and Fox again.

>>344338207
*already

>>344338659
Pretty sure it was 18 months but still a relevant point.
By way of contrast Smash 4 was made in somewhere between 3 and 4 years.

Honest question
Who are some people who started in smash but then became successful in other fighting games?

>>344338790
And its amazing how much better melee is than sm4sh.

>>344338289
About 8-12 of 25 characters are considered viable. That means 32% to 48% (nearly half the roster) are viable. Every fighting game has tiers, some are worse then others. I don't see how melee is more imbalanced then any other fighting game.

if melee is a fighting game how come nobody who plays it is worth a shit in any other fighting game

shouldn't any other fighting game be considered easy after mastering melee

>>344338850
No one. There are smash players that play other comp games. But smash skills do not transfer to other fighting games. You don't have a Sonicfox type who can get #1 at his game and then get top 32 at another game.

>>344338850
why would they change

smash is where the money and sponsors are, and the twitch revenue and youtube revenue, and the twitter followers

>>344338292
Hbox has a chem engineering degree and most players Who compete in melee go to a university? Quit stereotyping it makes you look bad unless you have facts to back it up.

>>344323161
It's a party game. Why are you trying to force smash into an already well-defined category? It's its own thing, and you should celebrate that rather than shoehorn it into a distinct genre of games just because you can't handle being ignored.
Yes, ignored
By gamers that play real fighting games
Not party games

Smash 64 takes more mind power though.

Melee is like checkers but you have to move your piece as soon as its your turn.

64 is like chess.

>>344339518
Yeah, and 4 Sheik without l-cancelling was beatable by DK because DK could reasonably get grabs.
With Melee mechanics 4 Sheik would trash 4 DK.
Regardless, 4 Sheik is probably the 6th or 8th-best character now due to all the nerfs.

That term gets used for DMC style games already, alongside "spectacle fighter" and curayzee, as well as a subgenre of hack and slash. I don't think sakurai coined it.
Honestly, nonbait question: what's wrong with "party game"? Or "party fighting game"?

>>344339295

Except nerfing Sheik IMMEDIATELY diversified tournament results, and Sheik is still more than capable of winning tournaments.
She was too good at closing out stocks with her d-throw combos. Now that she can't close them out as easily, she's fair. She might even still have the best neutral game of any character. She's just much more skill intensive to get results with (ZeRo has all but dropped Sheik post-nerf).

>>344340179
If I remember right he caught a flesh eating bacteria while in Vietnam on top of having a shit diet and not exercising. He's gotten better over the years but he was banned from events for a while because of that.

>>344340808
Better than Sheik 2-stocking everyone because she can kill as early as Mario's u-smash out of a fucking grab despite being significantly more mobile.
And since she's light, grinding someone to 200% rage is terrifying if they have any decent killing moves. It's a serious test for Sheik mains and it's why a lot of people dropped her.

>>344340978

>>344341685
Yes, they waited 20 years just for Smash to be put in tournaments so they could start stealing at Evo.

In fact they got together with the FGC illuminati and pitched the idea of smash bros to Nintendo in the first place, then organized a decade long stigmatization of Smash, all in order to start stealing at Evo.

Alright, here's the reasoning. Fighting games are different from esports in that the emphasis is on in-person, offline play. The minute amounts of micro-lag that don't really affect a game of Dota or Starcraft completely ruin fighting games. To really be playing the game at a high level, you gotta be offline.

So there's tons of fighting game meetups in most metropolitan areas. Most of the guys are in their mid-20s and older by now, because the newer generations of gamers aren't as interested. Games like Street Fighter, Marvel, Guilty Gear, King of Fighters, etc where many mechanics are shared and being very good at one of them often means you're at least decent at the others. Good enough to enter your local tournament and not get shitstomped immediately.

Then came Smash bros. The gameplay itself has little in common with the games I mentioned previously, so the player base has little overlap. If you play Street Fighter seriously, you probably know the ropes of Marvel. If you play Smash, odds are you just play Smash. There's also the elephant in the room: it's a Nintendo franchise. There's more kids and teenagers involved. Lots of them.

Tournament organizers realized that because of the lack of overlap, if you have both traditional fighting games AND Smash at your event, you basically double your attendance and ticket sales. So now you have two very different communities being pushed under the same roof, with one of them being much newer and typically younger players on average, leading to lots of misbehavior and weird antics. For example a side tournament for (I believe) CvS2 at Evo last year had its signs torn down and their room was invaded by a bunch of kids who decided they felt like playing Smash in there.

There's also the issue of setup incompatibility. FGC players need low response-time HD monitors. Melee fans need CRTs and gamecubes. The latter takes up a ton of room and makes the whole place a hundred degrees. Also, because of the aforementioned Nintendo autism demographic, smashfans stereotypically have poor hygiene. Multiple posts on their subreddit get made about this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBPM/comments/2d2q5y/im_at_my_first_tournament_why_dont_people_shower/

https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2i11is/big_house_4_will_have_a_stank_bouncer_to_refuse/

They also have a habit of rushing to venues while other events are going on so they can have good seats for when Smash comes on, leaving the fans of the current game outside and making the twitch stream sound oddly silent. Pic related.

Basically, "not a fighting game" isn't just about gameplay. It's a completely different community that doesn't get along with the FGC and has no overlap with it, but is often featured at the same events.

I think the twitch chat for damn near any event is almost always a fucking cesspool.

From personal experience at locals, the few melee guys around my nowhere town are pretty chill and other than one massive stick slamming sperglord, the Marvel players are alright too.

The greater Melee community DOES seem to have an issue with top player dick-sucking shit that they need to cut the fuck out.

I nearly wrote a long response why smash is not a fighting game and about FGC stuff, but that last line makes it too clear it's simply bait.

If only your technical expertise would also include how to take a shower. I wish the smash people smell thing was just a stereotype, but I have smelled them in person.

Oh come on,
>competitive action game
describes tiddlywinks for christ's sakes. At least fighting game involves two guys fighting. Shooting games involve shooting. Tabletop games are generally played sitting around a table, and party games are played at children's parties for fun.
You can play competitive tiddlywinks, you can organise tiddlywinks tournaments and bet money on the winner, but that doesn't make it a real sport, or a real fighting game, or worthy of respect.

Like it or not, Smash is a technical and competitive game that requires practice and skill. You don't see people just luck their way through tournaments.
Whether you respect it or not is irrelevant. It's clear as day and even the creator recognized it.

>respect is irrelevant
Not when smash players like OP (granted, probably was b8) are desperate for validation from the erstwhile FGC. This whole thread is about getting fg players to respect smash.
I agree that it's technical, and as I said you can make anything competitive, but that doesn't mean it's going to get respect from an established community because it bears some similarities with fighting games.

Daily Reminder that SFV is universally panned yet FGC plays it because they suck so much capcom dick.

Daily Reminder Melee is one of the greatest games ever created competitively and casually ,and people play it to this day because it's a testament to complete and healthy game design, while SFV is an easy cash in that capcom doesn't care about it, yet the FGC refuses to learn.

>>344344259
You think the OP is serious? It's either a falseflag or shitpost.

>>344336019
>MvC2 was unbalanced too!
Around the time of Melee, Super Turbo, Third Strike, CvS2, Soul Calibur 2 and Tekken Tag were around competitively and while those games had tier lists, they had universal mechanics, counters and bullshit that would even out the individual characters to being viable.

Smash 64 is more dial a combo than fucking Marvel. Fuck outta here. The game is fun but gets boring when you realize you can zero to death people even as a scrub.
The top 8 of Genesis 3 was garbage save Isai since he didn't play like a bitch in the neutral.
The rest of G3 top 8 smash 64 was everyone going to time on dreamland since one hit in the neutral = you're dead.

I disagree. L canceling was definitely intentional and just playing Melee with it shows that the developers knew about it to balance it somewat.(Some aerials are still unsafe on shield if l canceled if not spaced properly, Sheik having a god awful shorthop, Falco's 5 frame jump squat,etc.)

Hell they even nerfed Fox,Falco,Sheik,Marth, and fucking Ganon of all characters in the PAL version.

>>344343761
Not triggered, it's just a silly term to use. Competitive action game? Saku described smash as that because Japanese guys tend to use generalised terms to describe things. Watch an interview with, say hideo kojima describing metal gear, or I don't know, a prominent Japanese dev describing their game. Especially while it's still in development I think they do this.

Just come up with something that describes it better. Competitive action game? Like 99% of other games, including non-fightan. Character action game? Lots of action games have characters. Fight- wait. Do you want it to be called a fighting game or not? Where's this competitive action whatever coming from if the whole point of this thread is to get people to start calling it a fighting game?

Competitive is the important term. Fighting doesn't matter.

>>344344369
>healthy game design
So that's why everyone only plays one character, 2 stages and vehemently ignores major components of the game in order to be "competitive"! It's healthy~!

>>344345198
>Two
Mang0, the best fox and falco in the game, decided to change to Marth during a matchup against his long time rival, Armada (of sweden) who mains peach. Armada changed from fox because Leffen ( Sweden ) and Mang0 ate his fox's booty like groceries. That's four characters played by the top three.

>>344338956
Basically this. There's no real cross over to the other genres. Shit, I started off in Tekken and managed to pick up Soul Calibur in like a day, and2d fighters feel similarly in terms of footsies and whiff punishing. Smash to a fighting game is like comparing Dark Souls PvP to Soul Calibur.

>>344345359
>four characters played by the top 3
And what, 5 by anyone who takes tournaments of note?

>>344344053
>>344344173
Top players no doubt, but I'm sure it's only recently with twitch that the comp scene of smash has taken off, and I 'suspect' that children and/or young teens make up the bulk of that fanbase. FGC audiences are made up of people that grew up sticking quartets in arcade machines for one more round against akuma back in the day, the comp scene has been around since those arcades whereas smash was small groups of people playing in their living rooms in twos and threes and never forming much of a lasting scene until twitch blew up and the kids didn't have to grow out of the game to find something competitive. If that makes sense. Just a hypothesis.

now only if we had more successful Smash /Outfoxies-likes and more cons dedicated to that.

But what do I care, I switched to Tekken. Based Harada standing up to SJWs, Akuma, 2016 graphics and a game that isn't entirely based on RPS.
