Competitive Smash consumer action: Organisation thread

[TreK]

Is this about PM or Smash 4 ?
Because I can't really support this project if it's about Smash 4, seeing as I'm perfectly happy with the way it turned out.

You see, Sakurai has one trait to his game design philosophy that is extremely rare and all the more valuable in today's video game industry : he does not like to make sequels. Nintendo has repeatedly asked exactly that of him, and he's put his heart and soul into making sure that each game in a franchise under his responsibility was as different from the previous iterations as possible.
And I couldn't thank him enough for that. We truly need a man like him on Nintendo's highest selling games. A man who favors quality over quantity.

The thing is we're competitive players. We're the kind of gamers who'd very much like to play the same game for 20 years if people let us. We're the only ones who are actually asking for sequels. We are the 1%.
And as far as I'm concerned, I already have the sequel I wanted with Project M. If I was to make any critique about Nintendo's policies and business decisions, it'd be on the way they're treating Project M and Melee, not Smash Wii U. As a competitor consumer, what I want to throw money at is Project M and Melee HD, they're just not letting me.

So if that's what you're going for, I'm not going to be contributing. But feel free to proceed without me, I'm just a guy with a different opinion.

all of these reasons are bad and you should feel bad

You can word this better.

Even if I slightly agree with you.

I think we just want a game that can be fun for participants and viewers at all levels of play, no matter how it's implemented

Melee is just the best (*cough*official*cough*) comparison we have since high level play is fast and is overall fun to watch while players feel so in control of their character

Are you going to contribute anything of substance to this thread or is saying "nuh-uh" over and over all you can do?

That's a load of bull.

Smash 4 sells because it's a new Smash Bros game. If they bought PM and published it it would be selling like crazy as well.

It might sell on name, but saying casuals prefer that kind of gameplay isn't really true. At least if cons and other events have taught me anything on what they prefer.

Never implied that. Just pointing out that the statement 'we are the only ones who want sequels, the rest of gamers want something new/fresh' isn't backed up by sales numbers in the slightest. People are still buying the FIFA/Madden/Mario Party like it's their job.
