Most of those extras you mention that add value do not affect gameplay at all, and some just downright suck, like the singleplayer mode.  I don't really care about listening to music in a fighting game, I personally have never once used the level editor, if I turn the game on I just fight wherever.  All the billions of unlockables I do not care about, the only unlockables I care about in a fighting game are either extra characters (brawl has them...the only reason I even bothered with the god awful suffer to play single player) or items to customised characters with.

 

A good way to describe 80% of SSBB is "You can do/unlock this, but why would I want to?"

It is already given that you do not prefer those sections of Brawl, but it does not mean that these sections are not added value: clearly they are, according to the majority of buyers.

street fighter 4 easily.

brawl is good but well overhyped.

when i first got hold of brawl i thought it to be pretty good as theres a large game in there.

i quickly got bored with emissary mode, and i didnt take to well to the mini games

sound test was very good though. as was brawl grafix.

but main gameplay was just button mashing, and i couldnt find any control suitable for it.

i tried the classic controller didnt feel good, wii and nunchuck felt worse.

the best control i found for it was the wiimote on its own, but even still the button placements didnt feel good.

i had it for a week before i ebayed it back on.

i got street fighter 4 today and its been a blast, im happy i have the game.

360 version ??

 

 

nope ps3 version.

funny thing is i didnt think amazon would deliver it today as i choose super saver delivery 4-5 days estimated but it arrived when i was messeging psn buddies on how is the game, on top of that i got hold of megadrive collection which is mint.

on top of that i bought noby noby boy which is excellent, ive been on ps3 all day lol

I literally felt several degrees sadder about the state of the world after reading this post. It's like someone telling me about going to a gourmet restruant, ordering all of their world-famous, unanimously-hailed-as-delicious dishes, then taking a few bites of some unfamiliar exotic soup appetizer and declaring the meal was terrible because the soup tasted wierd plus was hard to eat with a knife or fork, and finally just leaving the table and not eating another bite. Yeah. Something like that.

 

As for the thread, Words of Wisdom ended it a few pages back. The games are not really comporable: what do they really have in common besides the fact that you can fight one on one against another player? Everything else is completely different. This is not a 'semantic tangent', it is a fact.

 



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Brawl, no question. Though SF4 is awesome.



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.

Brawl I only consider a half breed fighter. While it does have a degree of depth, it's nothing like Street fighter, Tekken, or the like. It lacks any subsystems, and after you've used a character for five minutes you know what he can do and the rest is just timing/spacing/priority of attacks. It's simplistic (even if raging brawl fans offer to kick my ass, it still is simplistic as far as fighting games go), albeit fun. Brawls big appeal is it's fan service, all the extras are essentially just there for Nintendo fans. That's great for a game, but it doesn't make any better of a fighting game.

SFIV also has online that works.

As much as I adore brawl, it's still not a deep, complex, precise fighter, Sora never intended it to be. It's a party fighter that some hyper competitive people have created a meta-game around. Strictly as a fighting game, SFIV is definitely a winner.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

To say Brawl is not deep is like denying the earth is round.

Street Fighter IV any day of the week, not only is it deep, complex and precise, but it has an ONLINE mode that works. Brawl is a good game, just not a good fighting game.
