PSASBR seems like it will have more than just one mode, so that might be something Superbot is doing to further distance themselves apart and give their fans more to look forward to. |
So... it doesn't count if you rip off game mechanics? Your definition is incredibly narrow.
As for Dissidia, there was no outcry because it was not even the slightest bit similar to Smash Bros. Nobody is claiming that Nintendo has the sole rights to make a crossover fighter. They weren't the first and they won't be the last. The big difference is that Square didn't take Brawl's mechanics and swap Mario for Cloud. They created a unique fighting engine that made sense considering their franchises heritage, implemented their own visual style, and shifted the emphasis of the fighting franchise to accomodate story.
Oh, and Smash Brothers has way more than one mode. I think it has like, the most modes of just about any fighter O_o...
