The way I see it, there are three main types of fighting games:

- Street Fighter clones (Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Guilty Gear etc)

-Virtua Fighter clones (Dead or Alive, Tekken, Soul Calibur etc)

-Super Smash Bros.

Lots of the most dedicated fans of the other two types have trouble accepting the third as a fighting game because they feel it's too different. All I can say to this is tought luck, because reality doesn't care.

The weird thing is that there are millions of imitators for the other types, but the only even remotely Smash-like games I can think of are the Shounen Jump games for the DS, and that weird game for the PS2 that had ridiculous characters like Optimus Prime and Batman. Maybe that's one of the reasons some people don't like it?
