I know, but there's a ton of people who only have a 360/PS3 and have never touched it so the only reason they have to hate SSBB is because of the annoying fan boys. Yes, SSBB is a fun game, that's exactly the point and what makes it a good game. That's what I meant by just judging it objectively, without bias. I don't care for any tournaments or w/e.KnightOfShaddai said:
Marth is one of the Lords from "Fire Emblem" YEAH I TOLD YA!
I don't care ^__^
And I was not one of the people who defended the Nintendo Wii's name to the death. In fact, when I first bought it I was disappointed (what with the only two games being Wii sports and Twilight Princess).

Jesus Christ, a hundred and fifty replies in two hours? I think that qualifies as a 'shitstorm', from a technical standpoint.
Anyways, i'm always up for popular games getting bashed for well-deserved reasons, so cheers to Yahtzee.

Well I didn't like the earlier DBZ games because they were kind of basic and fell into the category of "Anime Fighting games for quick license profit", but I did like DBZ legend mainly because it was a fast game.Kinokiro said:
These new DBZ games however are way to complicated and have way to many moves for their own sake. Considering that they are aimed at kids, that's not a very wise marketing move >_>
Although you can perfect your skills in any fighter to the point where you will always win against button-mashers the point is valid. Not that I'm awesome at it or anything, but in both Tekken and Soul Calibur I'll lose to button mashers sometimes simply because there are attacks that can take you out in 2-3 hits, and as your enemy won't be playing in an intelligent, but predictable, way you'll get swated once or twice out of like 20-30 matches.
Take a game like Guilty Gear on the other hand. No button-masher will beat me in that game. Not even once. I don't really like Smash Bros. as a fighter, but once you know what all the buttons do it's not a bad party game : )

I think Yahtzee's beef is more a fact of Nintendo resting on it's laurels about games. It has brilliant series such as Mother, and Fire Emblem that it keeps exclusive to Japan, buried under hundreds of Mario titles, until it's too late. They bring over a half effort, and when the series does poorly, they don't bother bringing it out again.
I agree that they're beating a dead horse, and now they're using nostalgia factor to sell more games... but that's business and people still eat it up.
I just wish Nintendo actually had released those Japan exclusives over here

I have no idea if anyones pointed this out but since when do you do SSE twice? Personally, I enjoyed the SSE it was like kirby had some kind of twisted mutant baby with streets of rage. I loved the game but have basically stopped playing it now except with the odd mate occasionally and find if you play something other than a 4 player free for all you get less of a cluster fuck, it's definitely a game for people who aren't social pariahs... Or social pariahs who put a facade of likableness online and play wifi.
Also 'Wii' is a ridiculous name and they should have stuck with dolphin. As gay as that title sounds it still wouldn't have resulted in a plethora of 'hilarious' jokes about penises and pissing.

DI = directional influence: the ability to change the angle at which a character reacts to a hit by nudging a direction corresponding to the hit. Also the ability to float in different directions while falling.Garfgarog said:
Priority = if two moves hit each other at the apex of their respective hitboxes which one wins? Answer: Lucas. Break mortar with counter for marth/ike, reflector with space animals, down A or a bomb with Link (my main) etc etc.
That all said I am going to put on my Nintendo T-shirt and cat ears and stop posting here because now that I've educated you all a little more I'm going to plug www.smashboards.com and go there since this is a discussion about ZP and I've digressed into SSB advanced techniques. I'm sorry Yahtzee, please forgive me.
100% true i swear nintendo just revamp there old games how many mario karts, mario,zelda games are there?
Only thing i didnt like was that game shop you kept mentioning anyways why do you even bother replying to review fan boy requests

Indeed. With the exception of the Dead or Alive games (because of the counters), it seems that button mashing is more easily accomplish in 3D fighting games for some reason (never could figure out why).Dectilon said:
