If you think the SF and TK series lacks depth; I suggest you learn to play them.Yes, it actually has more depth than the games you suggested.
Well played some Soul Cal II on the Ps2 so i couldn't play link.... and it's really mostly button mashing for me that is . I always pulled these combos out of pure luck...... but for Smash I failed when I button smash so for me Smash is more of the Elite type of Fighter. Seeing that there is no Life bar can make this game more competitive and has no place for people who relax when they see a opponents life bar at 10%A lot of you here comparing Smash to traditional fighters don't seem to know a lot about fighters at all. Most players of one traditional fighter usually play other games. Look at top qualifiers for tourneys of different games (helps if they're the same region), and you'll see the same names in many of the games. But how many competitive Smashers play other fighters? I always had the feeling it was a lot less. Most Halo (Failo, Gaylo, Fisher Price: My First FPS, whatever you wanna call it) players probably played Halo before other FPS's, so they end up thinking it's the greatest FPS in the world when it's probably mediocre at best. Smash is definitely more than mediocre, but how many of you actually play other fighters seriously enough to compare? I don't mean playing a little GG and MVC2 with your friends; I mean tried to take time to go on-line, learn the game, watched some pro match videos, and find serious players to play against?
I don't know... would YOU call THOSE real fighters?Come on folks, let's be real here.... it's no Tekken or Street Fighter. But let's think for a minute would you REALLY call this a real fighter?
they certainly do have depth,. both are great games in their own rights. but i believe smash to be the much deeper game.If you think the SF and TK series lacks depth; I suggest you learn to play them.
Tis why it's called actionThis post wins the thread.

That's exactly the problem I was stating. Yes, you have PLAYED SC2, but that doesn't mean you played it SERIOUSLY. You admitted that you picked up the game and started button mashing. Obviously you're not going to get depth out of the game from that; that's why we call it DEPTH because it doesn't exist at the surface. Depth comes from being part of the community, playing other serious players, going online and checking out the forums, research on combos, tactics, wakeup games, mindgames, pressure games, zoning games, etc. What would you say to someone who says that Smash has no competitive depth? You'd tell them that there's a whole community out there, and plenty of advanced tactics not visible at the surface.Well played some Soul Cal II on the Ps2 so i couldn't play link.... and it's really mostly button mashing for me that is .

I would love for people making these claims to try to back it up with a few sentences of some sort. And not things like "smash has a different life bar!" or "the combo system is different!" or "the stages aren't all the same!". This is more of why Smash is unique, not deeper.they certainly do have depth,. both are great games in their own rights. but i believe smash to be the much deeper game.
Almost all fighters have bosses in single player mode. I can't think of one that doesn't, actually, but maybe someone else can.I'd put it under a new category: Platform Fighter. Also, how many fighting games have 2 giant floating hands as bosses? Heck, how many regular fighting games even HAVE bosses?
Onimusha Blade Warriors. There's no single gaming site that calls it anything other than a fighting game. Yet the game is basically a much worse Smash Bros(Right down to items and everything). The only difference is that OBW uses a life bar.It's a party fighter. What other fighter game can you use more than 2 people in? Only 3 come to mind...super smash 64, super smash melee, and now super smash brawl.
