>>12276849probably an objective statement
I'm a PSX supremacist and even I agree.
And much better than the Retard version on GameCube
>fighting game
>>12276862Smash 64 is funnily enough better balanced than Melee with low tiers having better matchups than the low tiers from Melee if you're playing the NTSC-US version of 64.
>>12276873>muh cumpetitif gay shittroon spotted
>>12276849I love the sound effects.
>>12276849Yes it's more original than any other regular fighter but I think Evil Zone is as unique as Smash
>>12276940>more original than any other "regular" fighterDumb statement. If you're only comparing it to standardized fighting games, then it takes very little effort to be "more original".
>>12276959Pretty easy to say it takes very little effort to be original when you already know what smash is like.
>>12276849If this game were more popular, it'd probably be on more radars for that title. >Two games in one>adult one modeled after the likes of VF/DoA>Chibi mode that more resembles a fighting game RPG, complete with equipment, consumables, a shop, conditional drops, boss weakness items, unlockable moves, even the ability to manipulate how juggling works entirely.>And both let you customize multiple elements unique between 2D and 3D fighting games.There were some others like Fighters' Destiny that used point systems more akin to actual competitions, shit you really don't see much in the genre. It was a pretty cool time despite the amount of games that shit the bed.
piss off bubsy
It's absolutely amazing to me that this board gets so many newfags that this retards threads keep getting replies.
>>12277693It's not a bad thread even if it's made by someone shitty, he didn't say anything controversial really
>>12276876I mean, even in casual play it's just better when a couple or so characters just don't dumpster everything else. People get to pick a character or play style they enjoy without being that handicapped.
>>12277763Items even it out in casual play, not everyone is a wave dashing autist either, that helps a lot.
>>12277775Yeah. Sometimes it is item defaults. Other times no item spawns. Other times pokeballs only, max spawns.
>>12276849I was pretty sheltered as a kid and I went over to some Japanese kid's house once when I was like 11 years old or something and he had a Nintendo 64 in this game and I was so blown away that you had to use up on the joystick to jump. Up till then, I had only passingly played Super Mario Land on a friend's old Game Boy that they had when they let me and various games on the PlayStation 1 And all those games used X or A to jump and stuff like that. It was a total paradigm shift.
>>12277817>you had to use up on the joystick to jumpYou could also press any of the C buttons.
>>12277853Had no idea
>>12277853>woah what the?! you have to jump with the stick?!>dude just use the c buttons>oh okay *presses up c and only up c*
>>12276849Honestly, it is. 5th gen didn't have a lot of "original" fighting games in the first place though.>>12276862I think Melee is a great game on its own merits. People hate it because of the comp scene, but you don't have to participate in that crap to enjoy it.>>12277693It's not every day he starts a thread off with a statement that's actually true.
>>12276862Agreed the more arcade style gameplay makes it about a million times more fun than any other smash bros game
>>12276935thank heavens that the punch sfx was improved in the us release
>>12276870>it's not a fighting game it's a uhhh *makes up a 5 word genre that no other game will ever fit in*>hah hah see!!!Your seethe is showing.
>>12280950To be fair, Melee was kinda what made it be seen as a real fighting game, and I prefer 64 and fighting games both. When 64 came out, it broke most of the conventions that tied the genre together, but laid the groundwork for its sequels and so many derivative games that it kinda became an adaptation of the genre like 2D vs 3D was. Its a fighting game series, but it kinda took a while to get there. The fanbase smelling like rotting meat never helped the argument either.
>>12276849>The most originalLol
>>12280950I bet you call GotY 2025 a JRPG too
>>12276940>but I think Evil Zone is as unique as SmashWhat makes it though? Look like another arena fighter
It certainly wasn’t this turd in the punchbowl
>>12276862don't kid yourself, at least Melee was made as a total upgrade to 64 beyond only gameplay.and there wasn't anyone installing cringe character mods to be stuck with the game>>12279116What's so non-arcady about it's single player modes though?
>>12281295It's not an arena fighter It's a weird 3d fighting game and I have never played anything like it before or after.
>>12281290No idea what you're talking about schizo and not retro.
>>12281324Melee has worse balancing though.>inb4: b-b-but my characters!!! my clones!! reeee troon trooooon!!!!
>melee >literally a perfect sequel>SOME people prefer 64Nostalgia? Smash Remix syndrome? I started with 64 and Melee is superior in every way
>>12281290>Sakurai: yo Iwata check out my idea to make fighting games more approachable>I call it Dragon King: The Fighting Game>Iwata: hey this is kind of cool>let's reskin it with nintendo stuff so it'll sell better>Sakurai: that's fucking genius!>25 years and a gigantic ego later>Sakurai: the smell of my farts are superior to everything
>>12281290Smash is a fighting game and that French slop is a jrpg though?????????
>>12276849this game was huge when it came out
>>12276849>yawn, we combined platforming and fighting like the outfoxiesyes yes been there done that
>>12281594>>12277759>mech game>fighting gameMight as well call Twisted Metal a fighting game
>>12281596Why not? We're calling party games fighting games.
>>12281602Yeah well Twisted Metal is a vehicular combat retard
>>12281302How many nipples does a nigga need?
>>12276849Probably yeah
>>12281442I can play every character in the game just fine for everything else, Foxonly retard.
>>12281350I accept your concession.
>>12281459Pure contrarianism more like
>>12281579and ur mum is the town bike everyone, including jean pierre baptiste, rides each afternoon
>>12281596We always called Mario Kart 64 a fighting game though
>>12281459Better sound effects in 64. Broken combos are funny, and most of the roster is viable. Also Melee doesn't have Board the Platforms.
>>12284012>most of the roster is viable>>the first game infested by a meta destroying yellow rat
