Since it's on the Wii, it's a fighter.

If it was on the PS3 it would be called a platformer so people could put it on their best platformers on the PS3 list.

Excellent point.

It wouldn't get a place in the top 5 fighters on PS3.

Exactly.  LOL

Why do people insist that Street Fighter 2 is the best selling fighting game? Brawl is.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

If you count all different versions, Street Fighter II has sold over 15 million.

It's neither. It's not similar enough to traditional fighters (Street Fighter, Soul Caliber, ect.) to be in the same genre, but it certainly isn't a platformer. Instead, it created it's own genre, the Brawler.

*coughs*

Yeah, it's a fighter with platforming elements.

How so?

Look at the definition of BRAWLER before coming up with a stupid genre.

I want to take back my statement of Street Fighter 2 being the best selling fighter.

Doing some reaserch... I just saw how many versions it needed to BECOME the best selling "Fighter".

Brawl takes the victory on the sales front.


If you want to be realy, really harsh on any other fighter ever. THEN Street Fighter 2 takes the victory.

I beg to differ. For me, it'd be on top.
