Smash (while fun) isn't a fighting game..its a party game
I actually can't stand smash tournaments because they actually have to add like a ton of rules just to make the game competitively viable...I do prefer their way of balancing from the bottom up since casuals are the lifeblood of said game.
To continue with the Smash Bros Rage...I cannot STAND the folks who play Melee and that's it... OK I get it its the best version of the damned series but so is Street Fighter 3 Third Strike and we don't try to push it into EVERY TOURNAMENT and decry anyone who plays any other game in the damned series. I'll play Ultimate all day before playing Melee but that's just me.
Fantasy Strike, Skullgirls, and Power Rangers Battle for the Grid is better mechanically than EVERY OTHER FIGHTING GAME currently on the market....doesn't make them less enjoyable but I still reach for Skullgirls over Street Fighter 5 and even DBFZ
