The game does look pretty lame, all things considered. Oh well.

Okay, minor thing here, but is this supposed to be

"It's barely even a fight game, like Smash." meaning that Smash isn't a fighting game, or

"It's barely even a fighting game like Smash." comparing this Pokken to an actual fighting game (Smash).

Sorry for the confusion, I'm just not sure if I'm supposed to be ass-blasted or getting ready to circle-jerk.

Who said I was TRYING to trigger? It isn't a fighting game simple as that.

So what would you define it as, then? Out of curiosity.

Keep in mind, "not a fighting game" =/= "not as competitive as a fighting game."

Smash is easily as, if not more, competitive than your average fighting game. Melee, anyway...

It doesn't quite fit into any other genre. That's due to its uniqueness. At most I would classify it as a brawler.

That seems fair to me. Though I would argue that "brawler" is a subcategory of the fighting genre.

I guess the connotation is more of what I disagree with than the actual word. The "brawler" genre has this stigma of being nothing but mindless button mashing.

A party game that turns into a fighting game......with tour friends.

I'm so scared one day I'm going to punch my CRT when I get mad at the game. Though I don't usually get mad when I'm playing Melee/Project M.

CRT?

CRT's produce the smallest amount of lag out of all TVs with the exception of really really really high quality monitors. When it comes to Melee/Brawl, playing on anything but a CRT will produce input lag because of the high definition nature of the TV. Because the games will upscale to whatever resolution the HDTV is, they have to "move" more pixels than they're used to, which takes time.

Or at least, that's my understanding of it. Bringing those hunks of metal around isn't so bad, though.

Edit: Not really relevant to your question, but considering Thunder already explained what I meant, thought I'd elaborate on why I use one.

Yeah I've heard the term "hdtv lag" used when people are playing older gen games. Unfortunately you've gotta lug those heavy things around.

It's honestly not so bad. They're VERY dependable. Far more than any monitor screen I have. The glass screen protects from any damage pretty well. The one you saw in my Snapchat I can carry around with one hand. I think it's probably around 13-15" wide or so. I thought the picture quality would be an issue for me, but I'm actually not that bothered by it. Dunno, that just might be me.

It's actually gotten to the point where I set up my Xbox 360 to my slightly larger CRT, lol

Oh well that's a good deal there. I don't have any of those tv's anymore unfortunately.

Aww, I was hoping SF4 would have a final run.
