The question I have is this: Is it possible to create a fast-paced, fighting platformer without it also being a SSB clone? Or did SSB call dibs on that genre?

It is tough not to not have Nintendo be able to claim dibs on it.  Sony could of greenlighted a lot of approaches to a fighting game using their characters.  What they did was greenlighted a game that comes off a lot like Smash Bros.  I am sure the suits and beancounters that look at sales had decided on this.

And I do say there are a number of different approaches Sony could of took with it.  They could, for example, followed the Powerstone model.  There really hasn't been much decent recently that did that, and it would of added something.  As of now, it looks like, because it likely fits into the business logic behind greenlighting it, that it is now spun as Sony's answer to Smash Bros.


"It is tought not to not have Nintendo be able to claim dibs on it."

What does this mean?

I'm not sure what powersone is, so I can't say.

Anyway, it seems that you're saying that because it's a platformer and a fighter, then it's a Smash Bros clone. So you agree with me, it looks like.
