Cool, I understand now.  But since games like Final Fight and Streets of Rage are not counted as fighters because beat-em-up is a sub-genre only it is only logical to not count SSB for same reason when discussing actual fighters.

I always thought side scrolling beat em ups were an entirely different genre, could be wrong though


Actually, I was reminded of thing.  http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/jun/21/sakurai-says-smash-bros-isnt-fighting-game-completely-different-label-talks-game-development-fighting-genre-and-value-unpredictability/

From the creators own mouth, "I like to think of Smash as a four-player battle royal action game. You'll notice that's a lot longer than saying it's a fighting game, because 'fighting game' is a completely different label."


I read it and all hes essentially saying is its not a traditional fighting game.
