Also why no Smash?
It's a party game.
Dude that's such an old excuse and it never that good to begin with.
Even the most autistic members of the figthing game communitty have already accepted Smash as a figthing game. And it has been a part of EVO since 2007.
So you have no valid excuses not to list Smash in the OP. Specially considering you listed Street Figther 5 of all games
You see, Smash Bros was never designed with a real competitive aspect in mind.
...
Even when you look at the fluff description on the back of the box you always see it pitched to the reader as a four player+ romp with it being some competitive fighting game nowhere to be found.
Yes, but with Melee people progressively found out the gameplay has actually extremely technical and ideal for a competitive scenario.
When Sakurai and Nintendo tried to "kill" this competitive side to Smash with the release of Brawl and attempts to shut down Melee tournaments respectively, they were met with so much backlash that ever since Smash 4 they made more and more strides to cement Smash as a competitive title - with Ultimate meant to finally encorporate the Melee competitive scene.
So in the end the party origin doesn't mean shit.
Plus how a game advertises itself isn't a truthful representation/description of the game.
If you're into fighting games or want to play a serious one you're going to play Tekken or Virtua Fighter or Street Fighter or fucking TIME KILLERS.
Seriously man, you can't be serious with SF?
That series has been the king of casual figthing games and generally everything wrong with the genre for more than a decade now.
