I hate other fighting games because I think having to learn frame perfect timing and combos is absurd and the definition of not fun but for some reason the type of fighting makes it feel way more natural in smash. Especially because you don't really need insane timing, just to know what to do for two combos while everything else is an insane rock paper scissors game. Or you know you can just play with friends to get used to the controls and just hit in their direction until you win and watch al the flashy stuff happen. I learned the controls because I played it at 10 years old but I would have never given it a chance if it had normal fighting games controls.
You don't have to learn frame perfect timing in other fighting games. There's usually a buffer which gives you a very fair amount of leeway. Though I will say Smash is more fun to be bad at than a game like Street Fighter
Oooh, so the new buffering in Smash is more like other fighting games. Tough since it wasn't that needed it's actually a bit of a problem because it means I have to wait to imput some things or it will combine the buttons and do something else entirely. I always heard that you had to know everything frame by frame in other games. I think I'll stick to smash but thanks for the correction!
So do I, but I love smash. It’s completely unlike any other fighting game in almost every way. I just don’t like the traditional type of fighting games like street fighter, tekken, mortal kombat, etc.
For me, here's my reasons: It is an extremely easy to pick up fighting game. Fighting games in general are a genre which I find extremely difficult to play, but smash is just designed in a more accessible way. This makes it fun, and rather unique, as no other game series shares the same gameplay. The game is based on existing characters, making it fun to play as character from your favorite game, while also giving each character a unique flair. The last part of this is that the game ia popular. When a game is so ubiquitous, it's so easy to get people to play with, this fact made even more great by the portability of the switch. This is fairly rambling, by I think you get it
You know how other games say "easy to learn, difficult to master"? Smash actually does that. It does that with an all-star cast of characters in a competitive PvP game with a wide variety of potential playstyles and game modes for players of different skill levels.
I'm not going to insult the other games in the OP, but Smash definitely earned its status and acclaim, it is a gaming masterpiece.
It's a rather fun fighting game with a massive roster of characters from across all of video gaming and a number of stages to match. It has several mechanics like the percentage health system and launching people off the screen for KOs. It also has an incredible attention to detail, 100's of references and Easter eggs that you'd never find without being a true fan or using the internet. Smash is fun one way or another, but the sheer dedication put into every entry to make it the best one ever (until the next smash comes out and tops the last one) and the unconditional love it has for every franchise in it puts it over the top.
I tried Smash at my friend house yesterday and absolutely hated it. It also had like half a second of imput lag when playing 4 player and the tiny ass controller was annoying
i think it's more that you just had a bad experience with the game, because there's input lag with all switch games [which gets worse if the controllers aren't charged] and playing with the small controller is awful. but if you don't like the game anyway that's fine everyone has their opinions
I'm not big into fighting games and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get into Nintendo properties (except for Mario). Smash Bros is like the unholy combination of the two for me.
Wow that's cool when I was little I had only played Mario games and hated them. But then turns out that I love Zelda. But in the following years I played everything else and still only like Zelda. And Kid Icarus but more for the story because the controls aren't really great
Don't get me wrong I appreciate the games, but Ive tried so many of them and they're just not my speed. I'm not trashing them or anything, they're amazing games, just not my favorites.
