It's especially frustrating when other franchises constantly get critiqued for essentially being the same thing over and over again, just with slightly more content. But somehow that means Smash should be more than a 9.8 because of Smash Wii U, even though it's not the same person reviewing the game.  I get that with fighting games having more content usually means a huge switch up in mechanics and play style. But I think people just need to remember that different people have different opinions, expectations, and standards. And that's fine. 

Especially as more content does in no way mean that the content is also better. It can be, but just the sheer amount of content being higher than before is a poor justification for a game being better than its predecessor.

Yep. And diminishing returns. Smash Melee and Brawl will be the biggest changes the franchise ever had sequel-wise for the foreseeable future until we see a Smash game that really breaks up the formula in the same way those did. 

Though I still expect this to be the best Smash game for most, myself included. Something about 4 just made me not get into it as much.
