This is starting to look a bit too similar to Smash Bros if you ask me...

This is starting to look a bit too similar to Smash Bros if you ask me...

i wish i could say this, but the gameplay looks way too disorganized and seems inherently flawed for something like tournament play (that people with playstations are going to organize to justify their lack of owning a console with smash bros)

why am i even bothering to break the match down play by play

given the current mechanics it seems like all a player has to do is turtle, and using safe moves with long range will build up your meter just the same as melee attacks. then it just becomes a game of camping until you find an opportunity where other characters are fighting to just go in and wreck their shit with a super.

you'll notice fat princess did this by keeping her distance from the other characters and mainly using fat bomber to poke and increase her super meter, and then popping her warioman-esque fat chicken super where she practically flew across the map and back to shit on everyone. she just seriously poked the shit out of everyone to build meter

it's kinda obvious if you watch sly cooper the entire match, you'll notice the sly player kinda just jumps around and can't really hit anything because he requires a bit more "skill" - what that actually means is in order to build any meter, you actually have to go in and use uncomfortably close-range melee attacks to build up that meter. the alarm clock special takes way too much time to execute and i'm not even sure what the sly illusion is supposed to do.
it seems like sly relies on stealthing, sneaking up in the middle of the fight, and attacking the opponent as much as possible

maybe if superbot were the fighting game fans they claim they were, they would have made the game more reliant on melee combat and rewarded players with additional meter for actually comboing and not poking???

like if this game felt more like soul calibur than smash i'd be ok with that
