Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 65366, member: 6930"] Same when we tell Mario Kart fans that MK is a party racing game since items are adding a major random factor to the play (regardless of snaking or strats). Sometimes it's nice to play a casual game but I feel that some people are ashamed to admit they enjoy a game that isn't fully competitive so they cry about the advanced techs to make their game more "legitimate" in front of a Street Fighter, Tekken or Guilty Gear. Speedrunners already made any game virtually competitive in a way (like Hi-scorers in Arcade games) but they also admit that a game isn't aimed at an hardcore audience either (that one Spongebob videogame has been revived online thanks to speedrunning it as a joke which became a genuine interest). I'm just saying that Super Smash Bros as a franchise has always been to welcome anyone and if the next entry is 100% competitive-focused I can genuinely tell that it would kill the spirit of the franchise. This is why some games got "killed" by focusing too much on competitive like TF2 after that one update adding matchmaking (when this is one of the most unbalanced and randomised Online FPS ever). I like the term "optimising the fun out of the game". [/QUOTE]
