Pokken Tournament is a "competitive action" rather than a "competitive fighting game."

Doesn't Sakurai describe Smash as a party game rather than a fighting game? I wouldn't take these terms too seriously. They just want to make sure everyone plays these games rather than just fans of the genre.

Yeah, because it is a party game and not a fighting game.

Yet SSB goes to the biggest WW fighting only event of the year? Where they only allow the biggest "fighting games" to compete. It is a fighter, Its not a party game, party games are Mario Party/Olympic Games/etc.

Party Brawler is a sub category for a Fighter. Like Kart Racer is a sub category for a Racer.

I dunno why people say SSB isnt a fighter just because A) Its not the traditional/classic way of fighters (Ex: MK/SF/Tekken) and B) Sakurai Stated its not a fighter (like how recently the head of LoZ said LoZU isnt an open world game)

I mean if SSB is not a fighter then Mario Kart is not a racer and Pokemon isnt a JRPG.
