Brawler/etc isa Fighter. Its its own thing sure (not traditional 2D Fighter) but its still a fighting game. This argument is getting old unfortunately. 



I grew up playing brawlers in the 90's on Sega and Nintendo platforms. Its no different, outside of health bar.

Besides...Sakurai has something to say about it...

Most people point to tht link, but Sakurai and staff said so many times its a fighter as well. Even in the game it says its a fighting game by many references. 

How is it no different outside of a health meter? What games played exactly like SSB? I cant think of any. 

I guess its on you if you dont believe its a fighter (and others too of course). Its at Fighting Tournaments, Its under Fighting Genre, it plays like a fighter, just not a traditional 2D One. 

Mario Kart shouldnt be considered a Racer since its in the same boat as SSB (but for different genres).
