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. |
Of course it's as technical. If you try and play Smash to "blow off steam," you'd get absolutely destroyed. Again, Smash not being a fighter doesn't mean there's not as much technicality to it. The technicality just reserves itself to different areas which traditional fighters never need to think about. It's like saying that a hardcore PM player could "blow off steam" by playing MvC.
