Smash bros was also the only one of its class (sort of). I also fail to see how a 2012 game modeled similarly to a 1999 game (I'm basing the "ripoff" status from the original Super Smash bros) is a rip off. Sony could have rip them off a long as time ago, back when they had Crash and Spyro and when characters like Cloud, Sephiroth, and Leon would have made sense to be included in the game since PS1 became Final fantasy's flag ship console.

I would keep going but dishing out serves to the like of you is hardly worth anybody's time.

The point is they didn't have to do it. But they still did. Would it have killed them to not rip something off for a change? The developers of this game are absolutely shameless. They say they are 'flattered' by being compared to smash bros but they know darn well why they are being compared to smash bros. It is like cheating on a test. They saw nintendo get an easy 'A' grade and decided they would try it themselves. Well too bad sony. Cheaters never prosper.

@ BasilZero I love ico. It is the best game sony have ever made in my view. My view though. Ironically it is also their most original. It proves that when they are being original they can make some darn good games.

#facepalm.

Comparing it to cheating to a test from somebody else means that you are writing down the exact same procedure and answers as the person you are cheating from. If you played the game, you would see there are many differences as well as they are many similarities. The way to score points, the interchanging/interactive stages, different penalties, items, etc.

SuperBot has admitted that they were inspired by Super Smash. If anything, Nintendo should feel flattered that their game is so good, that others want to get in on that very unused genre (which I will refer to as fighting arena. Besides, making this game doesn't hurt nintendo or it's players. The game was made because of the demand for it. Sony and Playstation has always had plenty of mascots compared to the Xbox, so it was only obvious that once melee came out, Playstation also wanted a similar game. And yes, I am aware that this demand i mentioned isn't being showed in the first week sales but we'll see in the upcoming weeks.

Just play the game. NOT THE DEMO. The finished, flesh-out game. Rent it for a week, play some arcade, local and online multiplayer. Just give it a try, it is inspired by Smash bros, we all know this but it has a life of its own.
