If SSB wasn't a successful franchise, Playstation All Stars wouldn't exist. It may be a good game, but I really have a problem with a company blatantly copying a game that another developer worked very hard on for years, just to make some easy money.

Did you complain when Battlefield was announced on the back of COD?

Did you complain when Shift came on the back of FORZA and GT?

How about almost any beat-em-up on the back of Street Fighter?

Hey, remember that time you complained about Final Fantasy on the back of Zelda?

The difference is that those games are part of different genres, shooters, racing, and fighting. If they made a 3D fighting game with Sony characters(which would make more sense since most of these characters are from 3D games) almost no one would be complaining. The fact is that they had a Wii in their office for a reason, to copy SSBB as much as possible. The only thing they changed is the characters and the way you kill other players. They didn't even change the colors for the icon above the characters.

So... what you're saying is that it only matters because it's a 2D 4-way fighting game with mascots? NOONE can make one of those without it being labelled a blatant rip-off with no originalty?

Cause seriously, the day that Nintendo makes a 3D fighter I want fields of "Nintendo rips of VirtuaFighter/Tekken/DoA/etc." threads. Fields.

Good luck with that
