They invented the casual 4 player party fighting genre.... which honestly any game that comes remotely near the genre is called a rip-off now. Don't really see why we don't call out more ripoffs such as futuristic space fps, or jumping platforms sidescroller ripoffs. Honestly though, most of these games that look like smash bros tend to suck badly or just be overshadowed by Smash, titles such as digimon rumble arena 1 and 2 or tmnt smash up they just don't have that stuff that makes you want to keep playing it over again and I just don't see how this is going to be different, that K.O. mechanic sounds more derpier than randomly tripping on smbb >.>why are people acting like nintendo invented fighting games (big shocker coming from here!)
I see no problem when sony use this style. Call of Duty is not a "ripping off" wolfenstein 3d for example. The game industry works that way since the beginning.I know this has been said already but still ->
Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (Dumb Name) = Super Smash Brothers Sony version
GOD Sony quite ripping off your competitors seriously come up with your own ideas for a change.
Nintendo by no-means invented the fighting game genre, but they have capitalized on their own stylization of the 4-player fighter (as mentioned by the poster above).why are people acting like nintendo invented fighting games (big shocker coming from here!)
Brawl is not casual... :|They invented the casual 4 player party fighting genre.... which honestly any game that comes remotely near the genre is called a rip-off now.

Read their article and stuff, so its going to be more balanced and have a "robust" online, I get the online but they are going for a competitive play on something that looks so casual.... Just as bad as smash bros players who think the game is meant for tournament play. At least it will show how online should have been done for brawl.
I actually like the mash-up stages idea...,but (is it me?) despite the change in color, most if not all the stages have the same style?Sorry, no other way to say it but...
SHIT, SHIT, TWENTY POUNDS OF SHIT.
It looks like we have a ....
And did you see the fighting mechanics? Fighting and fighting (no killing/K.O.-ing) until you build your meter up to Level 3, then, ACTIVATE FINAL SMA-err... AP ATTACK THAT INSTA-KILLS CHARACTERS.
I think they can fall off the stage,but yeah, I really didn't like the fighting mechanics as much as SSB.
And let it be noted that, again, you can ONLY kill other players with the Level 3 AP Attack. No other time in the match can you kill opponents, only when you use your Level 3 meter attack.
Disappointing really.
Its like Sony just took the Smash Ball mechanic, injected a meter-building system, made it the only way to kill anybody (why?), threw some bland characters in, created even blander mash-up stages (LBP+Buzz, dohoho...), and churned out Sony Smash Bros.
This game looks fucking terrible. I hope they change things, a LOT of things. Pathetic.

For the most part, I haven't seen people acting like they invented anything, but I've seen more people mad because it's pretty clear here that Sony is ripping off of the Smash series. It's so bad, they're not even trying to hide it (Killzone guy has an AP Attack very similar to Snake's Final Smash, Fat Princess character has a move very similar to Princess Peach's Side+B buttsmash move).
No it's not.Brawl is not casual... :|
Yes it is.
It is depending on who you are playing against and how.No it's not.Brawl is not casual... :|
Yes it is.
I found it pretty funny that hades was smashing the patapon's in the background when they started singing
Yes it is, it is not a tournament or pro fighting game, it is casual. Sakurai himself says its meant for casual, and there are so many aspects of brawl that show it is casual. It can never be taken competitively ever because of how it works, you can just run and wait and then attack the final blows to an opponent and win. No fighting game that is tournament playable lets you do nothing and win, you might have unbalanced tournament games like mvc2 but those with true skill will come out on top and for brawl that isn't true there are so many random factors like smash ball, tripping, items, and other stage hazards. Its just not a game that rewards skill, it rewards sheer luck and randomness with little to no strategy.No it's not.Brawl is not casual... :|
Yes it is.
