| oniyide said: @jarrod im not picking on Smash Bros. (i have the game) but Mvs.C2 is also played at tournaments but that game is seriously unbalanced so I never take it seriously thats just me. I had the cube version of SC2 and Link was the man. I would welcome a SC4 deal with Link for GC but since that didnt happen I'll just have to settle for Vader/Starkiller/Kratos. I dont know about you but i love the fighting genre way to much to stare at my Wii and pray that it gets support. Screw that noise im going to support the console that has the crap i want. whenever they do support the Wii with a (exclusive, good) fighter i'll be there |
I'd say MVC2 is serious as well, it also has a long lived tourney scene (though it's not near as active as Smash Melee/Brawl). Any fighter that can support sustained tournament play is "serious" wether it's Smash Bros, Vs Capcom, Tekken, Virtual On or whatever. Saying The VS games aren't "serious" fighters because they might not be as complex, balanced or technical as the average Street Fighter is like saying Tekken isn't a "serious" fighter because it's not as complex, balanced or technical as the average Virtua Fighter. It just doesn't work... is Ridge Racer not a "serious" racer? Is LBP not a "serious" platformer? Is COD not a "serious" shooter? Not having the highest barrier to entry in your genre doesn't make you "not serious".
As for SC on Wii, I'd say Namco screwed the pooch, but yeah it's too late now. What would've worked is if SCBD had been PSP/Wii multi, with 1st party exclusives for each. Namco should've really done a Wii port of Tekken 6 too, considering they already had SD assets in place for it. Money left on the table imo, though Namco's Wii support has been pretty generally terrible.
