NOBODY would give a fuck about Smash if it didn't have Nintendo characters

Face it. The roster is the game. If this had been Dragon King: The Fighting Game, featuring original characters like it was meant to, it would have died on the N64 and have gotten less than 1% of the attention that Smash gets now.
People like, buy and play Smash because they want to play as the characters that they have an attachment to in their own series, not for Smash Bros.'s own gameplay. How a character plays is completely secondary to who that character actually is to most people. It's fanservice. And that's a good thing, it's fine.
If you're one of those people who care more about a character being unique or having fun gameplay than being a beloved character outside of Smash, well, you're simply in a very small minority.

w-what

OH MY GOD LOIS REMEMBER WHEN [pronoun] [verb] [noun] ?

Well yeah, just look at Sony's all star battle game.
A lot of people only care about smash because they realize most of nintendo's first party games just don't appeal to them.
I mean, look at all the excitement an announcement over a remaster of xenoblade chronicles caused.
You're right, but I gotta sage for this terrible opening image.

They really should have a post limit on how many threads you can make per day so OP can stop posting his shitty threads.

Let's be real here, Nintendo is the only good company making the best games at the moment. Switch just can't be beat.

I still don't get this Ampharos shit.

Can someone spoon feed an old boomer who can't keep up anymore?

k

I like Rivals of Aether. Though I admit I only got it for the snake character. The cast as a whole feels super underdeveloped, I think they could get more people interested if they made supplementary material a la the TF2 comics, instead of just a low-plot story mode involving only six characters and a few trailers.
Smash and "Smash clones" have unique gameplay compared to traditional fighting games and there are absolutely people who want to play that even if they couldn't play as Mario and Pikachu.

Litterally every fighting game lives or dies on its character design

its a well-established IP

>Fact: Call of Duty wouldn't be as popular as it if it wasnt as well-established of an IP, and produced by a huge developer.
same deal

Melty Blood had pretty great character design and excellent mechanics but still died

No. It isn't the "same deal," you fucking flamboyant homosexual.
Learn to keep your fucking mouth shut, idiot.

can yall take your thirsty asses somewhere else with showing girls booty's for crying out loud

Isn't that just avatarfagging? what a faggot.

that was a great rebuttal, but you forgot to call me a cuck and tell me to dilate

No shit sherlock. This isn't a secret or something anyone tries to deny.

Yes it is.

oh shit he gone and did it

holy autism

Considering DOA exists I can't. Yeah the girls are hot, but they all look the same and none of the guys have any appeal unlike SF, KoF, Tekken or any other series really.

I mean, Sakurai planned on it not being a crossover at first so that might be true but would we be in better times?

I came in this thread to talk about RoA's mild indie success and I'm glad someone already mentioned it. I hope more people play it with the steam workshop characters coming.

it's not even that fun past the age of 16

One is played by Chads and the others is played by incels. It's not the same fucking deal you gaynigger from outer space. GO THE FUCK BACK.

Oh my god...
SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

No shit.
Smash bros is one big add campaign.

If not for the constant hype around potential dlc characters, you would not have seen a Smash thread on here since release. Literally every thread about the game is: "Do YoU GuyS ThinK My FAVorItE ChArActEr HaS A CHanCe??? DIscUSs."

Every thread is looking to the unnanounced DLC characters. It's all hype. I have literally never seen a thread where people discuss the vast majority of the game that is already out. Why?
Because it's dumb.
It's a king of the hill novelty game that is only as entertaining as the people you play it with.
Sure, it's visually decent looking, and well polished, and whatever, but at it's core, it's just not a very fun or interesting concept for a game.

You are correct that rosterfags have completely ruined any chance at Smash discussion, but you just needed to look at, say, the Smash 4 era to see actual game discussion, since the rosterfags were much less rabid back then. Project M threads, before the mod stopped development, were almost 100% gameplay.
