@spemanig: I am calling it a fighter because that is the closest comparison for the largest demographic. I do not look at the game the same as I do Street Fighter. If you are reading my post, I am not trying for that comparison. I am only comparing its potential to open the market in a way Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and Naruto did because they are apt comparisons in this instance. Not because I see the game as comparable in terms of game play. I am not upset about what the game offers the fighting community, as you can clearly read, I am unhappy with the games design decisions. That is all there is to it. I was hoping for it to be something it is shying away from. And besides, the first video compared to recent videos show two almost totally different titles. Excuse me, partner.
Your second point, I hope is true. I want there to be a tournament community around the title no matter how it plays or what you label it. I play sports, fighting, shooters, and Pokémon at tournament level so no matter what this game turns out to be or where it fits, I will be a player if the mechanics of the game play are worked out. My problem is that I do not see it happening with the recent developments. However, TvC had great developers at 8ing working on that title and the scene flopped within months in America.
It can only wish to be what you have labeled it because it will have fewer Pokémon and from what I have seen, not a real team option... just an assist. It does not look to be what you are trying to make it out to be at this stage.
@sundin13: In addition to the fact that you are asking a question that puts on display how my mind is not confined to one genre for the game (told you, spemanig), you are kind of missing what I am saying. A 3D fighter THAT CONTROLS LIKE SMASH would greatly benefit from a second stick. The closest thing to that is Kid Icarus and the touch screen was the replacement for the second stick. While it was a disaster to use the touch screen, there is no doubt a second stick would be most helpful (everyone I know liked the second stick add on for Kid Icarus) for more accurate attacks or camera control, or aiming while moving.
