All stars is an amazing and fun game! People are just ignorant and won't even play it. I have a few hardcore PS fans who just won't give it a Fi even though I know they would love it. Great game

Don't be so sure that if people play it they will like it. I have tried so much to like the game, but it is just not fun. I've played it with my group of friends who love Smash Bros. and they all hate it. I have brought it over to other people's houses and had them play it and they didn't like it. I have not yet met anybody who actually enjoys playing the game.


Everytime I read "who love Smash Bros." it's almost always in a sentence with "hate it". If you go in expecting Smash Bros like most Smash fans seem to do, you will not have a good time because it's not Smash bros. It doesn't play the same like so many expected. 

It's annoying, really. People shit on the game before playing it claiming it's a Smash rip-off then shit on it after playing because it's not enough like Smash and there for bad.

I play both, btw. Play them both regularly.

So, exactly how, from a gameplay standpoint is All Stars superior to Smash Bros?  And if it isn't superior in any way, then what is its point?  Maybe someone is into platform brawlers, but if not normally a big fan, why would someone own both, or pick All-Stars over Smash Bros. unless they are a fan of Playstation characters, and don't mind having the inferior game?

And this is an editorial that compares the two:

Any reason why the All Stars way to win is superior to Smash Bros?

It's a matter of taste. To me, psallstars is superior to smash because the smash characters are much more popular, but completely bland based on all the ninty games I've played. Characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Donkey kong, and kirby don't have much of a personality. On the other hand, Kratos, Nariko, Cole and Dante do. I'm mych more emotionally attached to them and that alone makes it superior for me. Also, following your argument, one shouldn't play any jrgs of this generation apart from Xenoblade and Ni Nokuni, because every other game is inferior.

Also, based on what do you think allstars is inferior? How many hours have you spent playing each game?
