No.

No

No.

Maybe

It's not just a fighting game series. It's a fighting game series with the best selling fighting game of all time

It's a fighting game as much as Mario Kart is a racing game

It's a platform fighter. So, yes, in that it's a sub genre. It's of course not a standard fighting game, and that's fine.
I want someone to mod in Geese into Ultimate at some point as a fully fleshed out character.

so it is a fighting game since Mario Kart is a racing game.

Yes, it's just that Nintendo doesn't want you to compete on it (just like Mario Kart)

So it IS a fighting game then?
Subgenres exist for a reason. Sim, arcade, kart racers are all racers. You've got 2d, 3d, and platform fighters.

No, we just let those sweaty pedo's think it is so they'll stop showing up at other locals.

I'd say it's most reasonable to classify it in a fighting subgenre. Same with those 3D anime arena fighters.

Genre classifications are inherently kind of arbitrary and wishy washy though.

What do the characters do in Smash Bros?

>stop showing up at other locals.
You mean the only activity your shit gets.

Only if my Mom can drop me off before her graveyard shift, I'll have to get an Uber home afterwards and pick up a pack of Camel Crush 100's

grab items and knock each other off platforms

no one plays with items

go watch the world smash tournament, then get back to me

go watch any evo or any other tournament ever and get back to me.

items are banned in real tournaments

>kazuya revealed
>smash fags say fuck another shoto
I don't play tekken and even I know Kazuya is not a shoto

smash was not in evo for most of its run

(because its not a fighting game) wasn't in recently either

go ahead, name the only super major tournament, go for it, im sure you know what it is

so the nintendo sponsered thousands and thousands of dollars prize tournament of international talent isint, "real"?

most "smash" players have no idea who or what actual fighting games are

(because its baby brawler nintendo bullshit)
