what's a better fighting game than smash bros?
Jordan Martinez
you're wrong. it has one game tes: skyrim
Samuel Green
Story is top notch though. I thought that's what non-Nintendo gamers liked about their RPGs, both Japanese and Western? Smh it's never okay if Nintendo does it.
Christian Johnson
Story isn't really that great. People just like it because its "quirky"

It's a Mario Kart stage I think
Jacob Clark
I can't get my teeth into ARMS, but Smash is still better than those fighting games you've listed. For racing, yeah, Wipeout is awesome, but Mario Kart is definitely still more fun to play with friends.
Nothing Nintendo makes can compete with TLOU, Uncharted or GoW, so I'll give you that. However, those are very different types of action games. I'm also not sure why Metroid Prime is under shooter, it should be under Action/Adventure, and although I'd classify it under the same overall genre as TLOU and Uncharted, I do think I prefer Naughty Dog's games, but I love the Prime series too. Also, the shooters you chose to represent are terrible. Resistance was fun, but come on.
For RPG, it's not close. Zelda should be under RPG and it's much better than HZD and the Souls series. I regret buying HZD because I didn't get enough time to play it before BotW dominated my game time. Strategy should probably be under here as well, and I'll admit Valkyria Chronicles is my favorite recent tactical RPG. In fact, I bought the fucking game three different times (PS3, PC, PS4). Survival horror, yeah, Sony gets the nod, but you picked some pretty bad examples.
What Nintendo does well, it does with near perfection. Most of flagship titles can't really be touched.
Parker Ward
I think the genres that Sony excel in are the ones that benefit from realism and linearity the most.
Zachary Foster
Best exclusive fighter coming through
Liam Watson
Mario party games with fighting mechanics are not fighting games.
Sebastian Rogers
That's fair. Sony exclusives definitely do a better job of providing an 8-10 hour cinematic story experience, which I'm fine with in the case of TLOU and Uncharted.
Jack Garcia
Sony doesn't have shit but at least they get the third party fighting games

People are pretending that ARMS isn't a '''''real'''' fighting game now as well?
Kek.
Face it, FGCucks. Nintendo has BY FAR the most popular fighting games in the world right now. Arms, a completely new IP, demolished by Street Fighter V and Tekken. Smash Bros has been the most popular fighting game in the world (Yes, fighting game) for the past fifteen years. And titles like Pokken are shaping up to be huge hits.
So go ahead. Pretend that your precious Street Fighter and Marvel Vs Capcom are still exciting brands. Even the fucking Mortal Kombat team is pumping out better fighting games than they are at this point.
They bought the franchise like 10 years ago, friendo
Nathaniel Hernandez

The sonytard butthurt is palpable
Hudson Collins
What do you classify Virtual-On as?
Charles Johnson
That's not how that fuckin works, they only bought a single game to be an exclusive.
Tyler Allen

Still, no good third party and the MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE. Xbox One X is going to make fanboys cry, once big S and N leave the industry :)
Benjamin Gonzalez
No super smash is an RTS and moba

C'mon OP there hasn't been an f zero in years, don't even bring it up. It just makes me sad to remember that franchise.
Mason Howard
>Playstation allstarts >SFV
At lease use something like Tekken 7 or GG rev 2
Colton Cooper
Nope, they bought the IP itself. Look it up.
Dominic Foster
>a fighting game can only be a fighting game if it has quarter-circle combos!
Yeah, and Mario Kart isn't a racing game because they are actually just using karts! All racing games have cars or they're not allowed to be racing games!
Jaxon Sanders
Seems something's clearly amiss in your repertoire
Robert Cooper
It's not a fighting game because it's missing a massive amount of fighting game mechanics Saying it's a fighting game because they fight is like saying call of duty is an RTS because you have to use real time strategy
Ethan Bell
This is some top quality bait
John Nelson

William Hall
No, it has the same goals as every other fighting game: defeat your opponent one-on-one using mainly close combat, progressing through them tournament-style
Just because it doesn't have wavedashing or whatever specific thing you're looking for doesn't make it not a part of the genre.
Next you're going to try to say that Harry Potter isn't fantasy because it doesn't have dragons, or Blade Runner isn't sci-fi because it doesn't have robots.
Nicholas Nelson
Linear cinematic QTE-fests?

Ryder Brooks

Doesn't matter, those are still prime examples of genre-defining exclusives created by Nintendo for Nintendo consoles, and that signify the quality of Nintendo as a whole
What Strategy or Horror or RPGs do Sony or Microsoft own that could say the same?

t. didn't play Evil Within

I like Nintendo too, but these are some ridiculous claims

And there are lots of games only on Steam that are better than these
Robert Evans
>Starcraft, Total War, and Civ are PC exclusives Nope. Also, PC isn't a company that funds games. If anything PC/Windows is a Microsoft platform.
>How about resident evil 1/2/3, the most influential horror games of all time Again, not exclusives
>How about ff7 or persona Jesus Christ, do you understand what exclusive means?
Dylan Kelly
Arms
Checkmate retard
David Scott
>Old games can't be good
The Mother series is better than any Sony RPG released since the first Playstation
Nathaniel Cook
>h-here's an obscure shitty port, you're wrong!!! Okay then, starcraft 2. >b-but it's not funded by any one company! It's exclusive to pc, but that means it's not exclusive!!! Fuck off Also persona 3/4 are ps2 exclusives, 1, 2, and 5 is a Sony exclusive
Joshua Wood
Smash bros arguably counts, because it shares at least some of the gameplay systems as other fighting games and some of the fundamentals, but ARMS obviously doesn't, it shares zero outside of blocks blocking attacks and grabs beating blocks.
You should have posted Pokken instead of ARMS in the OP, which is an actual traditional fighter which shares 100% of the mechanics and fundamentals as them, though people probably still would have shitposted about it not counting
Wyatt Morris
>ARMS >Good
Its a shit tier game from even a semi-competitive standpoint.
>Awful character balance as each characters damage and health are largely the same yet there are big, slow characters with the same amount of HP as fast, mobile ones. >Have to grind for weeks on end to unlock arms instead of letting you get them from the start or buy the arms you want. >Horrible stages like Kid Cobra's. >Overly rewards defensive play making it boring to both play and watch.
ARMS is trash, I'd rather see Kirby Fighters Deluxe at EVO than ARMS; Pokken comparatively is a much better fighting game, and even it is mediocre at best. It might be fun under the influence with friends, but there are better games for that.
Grayson Taylor
It's not as good as ape escape
Henry Kelly
I'd say arms is much closer to a fighting game than smash
Parker Nguyen
>and even it is mediocre at best.
Not him, but Pokken is legit really good. It's absurdly well balanced, all of the characters play super differently without being too different (which can be an issue in certain anime fighters), and actually does the "accessable for newcomers without sacrificing the skill ceiling" thing that SFV and shit tried to do and failed at.
Pokken's only real problem is how complicated it is to play locally, lack of training mode functions (there's no way to tell the CPU to use any attack other then 5y, have fun figuring out punishes!), and the light hit armor characters get in burst.
And I guess it could use more single player content but that's not an issue with the gameplay
explain
Ethan Hill
I never said they weren't good, but using the word "has" is inaccurate as a lot of the franchises on your list will likely never see another release. Nintendo might have HAD the best exclusives, but is now overshadowed by PC and maybe even the PS market. That being said, indie games for the Switch in the future look good, but aren't exclusives.
Wyatt Stewart
>Pokken's only real problem is how complicated it is to play locally With Deluxe, not anymore.
Blake Ward
>It's absurdly well balanced Braixen
I actually like Pokken too despite considering it rather mediocre, its not that great of a game due to a bunch of issues. But it does have the foundation for a good series that should they fix most of its problems, you could have a great fighting game series starting with the sequel or even DX.
ARMS is just straight up bad from a design perspective and would need a major overhaul that can't be done with simple patches or new content updates. To make arms tolerable, you'd need to do a lot more than Pokken.
>Less shit stages, more good ones. >Unlock all arms at the start or let you buy them individually. No duplicates or upgraded arms. >Treat the characters like any other fighting game or even shit like Overwatch where the big, slow characters have more HP and deal more damage than the smaller, more mobile ones. There's no reason to not pick Ribbon Girl or Twintelle as their abilities make them way better than the likes of Master Mummy, Helix or Mechanica. >More characters that function differently. While there are clearly characters that are better than others, they all function almost identically to one another.
Daniel Morgan
>Metroid in shooter >not in action-adventure >no Kid Icarus under 'shooter' >no Wonderful 101 or Sin & Punishment under 'pure action'
I more or less agree otherwise, though.
Jonathan Howard
Except the charge move indicator is visible for splitscreen/the pick up and play mode, so it can't be used for competitive setups.
>Braixen She's less OP then many of the best characters in other fighting games, and even if she's not, the rest of the cast in pokken is still super viable and are close to each other in utulity moreso then other fighters by a huge margin. Also Lucario IMO is even worse then braixen, at least braixen doesn't get like burst twice a round. Also, braixen got super nerfed in DX
Like 90% of the cast are just in the upper two tiers, pic related.
Ryan Reed
The only thing on this list that's kinda true is Valkyria Chronicles being better than Fire Emblem.
Carson Diaz
>1, 2, and 5 is a Sony exclusive Wrong again
Do you even know what you're talking about?
Starcraft 2 isn't a series, and isn't owned by "PC". Resident Evil isn't owned by Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft. The whole purpose of this discussion is to talk about each company's stable of IP. Your points are irrelevant.
Kayden Young
>F-Zero >Mother >Advance Wars >Eternal Darkness >Elite Beat Agents All dead for a decade or more. Why even list these? Now I'm just angry.
Isaiah Richardson
Smash is the best fighting game of all and if you don't agree you're a fucking faggot with shit taste
Xavier Wilson
>traditional fighter Ahh, finally someone says it. SO ARMS isn't a TRADITIONAL fighter. Fine, but does that mean it isn't a fighter at all?
>Its a shit tier game from even a semi-competitive standpoint. What about from a normal human being standpoint?
Hudson Jackson
Still not good.
Its fine if you get drunk and waggle your joycons. But its shit if you want to play with friends and want to win or play ranked online at all.
Bentley Flores
Wireless lan, family. Same how they did in the arcades. Smaller than Wii U and easier to setup.
Jonathan Diaz

Pick one.
Justin Moore
>>The last Mother game to come out outside of Japan was during the SNES days unless you count earthbound beginnings, but it wasnt that fantastic of a game compared to its sequels.
