| naznatips said: Not very much balance? What? Someone sucks at Brawl. There are a couple characters weaker than others, but none that are way too strong. And the entire game is Nintendo characters, so how can any Nintendo character in the game be a gimmick? Soul Calibur took a technical fighter and added gimmick characters to sell it, regardless of their effect on the balance of the game, or how well they fit with the game. |
I know the thread has progressed a long way since this statement, but wow, I have to strongly disagree. Brawl is the biggest gimmick period... there is no explanation or excuse, it's just pure fan service. And that's ok... sometimes you need fan service for fun and sales.
I like a good gimmick as long as the execution is solid and fun. I don't like Brawl, but I completely understand the appeal of the game, and the core gimmick of putting these characters together into a fighter was pure brilliance on Nintendo's part.
You can't defend Brawl and at the same time bash Soul Calibur for being too gimmicky... they're two sides of the same coin.
