Why don't you play fighting games?

Smash is extremely fun. You can blow of steam from using too many brain cells in the other fighting games.

I hope you aren't seriously implying that Smash somehow requires less brain cells just because it isn't a fighting game. Comments like this are why Smash players get so defensive when you tell them it's not a fighting game. Playing Smash is just as technical and requires every bit as much "brain cells" as a fighting game does. It just so happens to not be a fighting games.

By the way, I've figured it out the overwhelming answer to this thread. Most of these people don't play fighting games because it's not Smash.

Playing Smash is nowhere near as technical, but it does require the skill to master. This is why I said people who play traditional fighters can blow off steam, they don't need to worry about complex Openers, linkers, autos, reversals, footsies, and other hallmarks of traditional fighters. Also they don't need to worry about instantly being KOed once they reach 100% If you're good you can try to stay in the match as long as possible. In traditional fighting games once you're life runs out, its done. 

It tries to make the game as fun as possible for people and really thats what matters.
