Smash Bros. sucks

If you really believe there aren't people here that are so Nintendo die-hard to fully enjoy Brawl because of the fan service then you're not here enough. When asked in a topic what everyone's favorite fighter was, over 50% of all votes went to Soul Calibur II and Super Smash Bros. Melee, and guess what console they were probably playing them on, the Gamecube, which was the majorities favorite console last gen when asked in a seperate topic. I'm not taking away from how great the series is, I like it very much. I think the gameplay is top notch, but I can see through the posts and understand that this game could have played half as good but if it still had Nintendo mascots would have been highly recieved by fans but if the gameplay held up and the characters were taken out those same people would have played this game for half as long if that and barely one person here would be calling it the greatest fighter ever. Not everyone, just those certain people that I'm sure you see around these forums and in life too.

Also Smash Bros. is built on the backs of the fighters that came before it, so anyone that can like Smash and not like the fighting genre probably has a huge bias towards Nintendo fan service instead of gameplay.

OK.  I never meant to deny that people would genuinely enjoy the game more simply because of the Nintendo stuff, but I meant to say that (A) if they otherwise would dislike the game that would wear off after a while for most people, enough for it to not be one the most (if not the most) sought-after used games; and (B) your point that people not liking fighters but liking Brawl must be due to the Nintendo stuff is obviously utterly flawed due to the fact that SSB games play completely differently from those other fighters and do so in such a way that is much more accessible to unskilled/untrained players. 

So yes, Brawl would be less revered and less insanely popular if not for all the Nintendo stuff, but it would still be revered.  And insanely popular.  Which is more impressive than it seems at first glance because the Nintendo stuff is so much more than just the characters fighting and level themes. 

By the way, does this mean you agree with or have no answer to the rest of what I said?
