So did Nintendo develop the best fighting games of 2017 and 2018?

[Danielsan]

Hell no. Tekken 7 released in 2017.

 

[Truly Gargantuan]

I don't understand how anyone can think ARMS was the best fighting game of 2017.

 

[WestEgg]

Just 2018. And calling Smash a "fighter" is a little disingenuous since it's a "brawler" and doesn't rely on the typical moveset inputs.

Smash is a party game so not much of an argument there either.

It is 2018, nearly 2019, and some people are STILL trying to downplay Super Smash Bros. as not being a "real" fighting game.

ARMS? Really? Hasn't been it a huge flop in sales and in community?

Click to shrink...

No?

 

[Xx 720]

Yes, actually, Nintendo typically develops the best games in most genres, Smash, Arms back 2 back. They also innovate existing genres, Splatoon in a league of its own.

 

[Future Gazer]

lol no

Tekken and SoulCalibur both take the crown.

 

[HardRojo]

I don't really think that's necessarily true. Certainly doesn't mean an opinion is stirring up shit.

Hey! I missed it the first time but I never said it was the opinion that stirs shit up, but the posting of a divisive topic and not even engaging in said topic. Had OP actually been participating in the discussion they created then of course I'd have said nothing. People creating topics that are bound to be divisive and never replying has happened before and is quite annoying.

Misquoted? The problems with Smash lackluster online and input latency can't be overlooked, plenty of people seem to be very disappointed with how online works right now regarding matchmaking and connections.

I don't agree at all, but the quality of modern fighting games is so high that you can pick a game at random and it'll be at least very good if not excellent. The times of stinkers like Rise Of The Robots are long gone.

 

[Mike Rambo]

Implying that if you are you aren't a Nintendo exclusive gamer you would never think that Smash is the best fighter this year or that your opinion would be skewed in some way?

I mean since I don't particularly care for smash style gameplay, then yes, that would come in to play as the only other thing to attract me would be the fact that it's a massive Nintendo crossover game. But since most of the characters are folks I don't hold as much love in my heart for anymore, then yeah I'd say it 100% has a sway on my opinion

You can't seriously believe ARMS is better than Tekken 7 for 2017.

I mean it's also a meme in the community, so some people might be being sarcastic.

 

[neon_dream]

2018 yes

Smash Ultimate is amazing in terms of design with a couple of exceptions (online matchmaking)

 

[Spikematic]

ARMS, released in 2017, was a nice surprise with great graphics and a inovative gameplay.

Smash, released last week... well, probably the best fighting game this gen. And one of the best fighting game of all times.

I guess that's one opinion. I personally think ARMS is a joke compared to something like Tekken 7 or Injustice 2. As for this year, I vastly prefer DB Fighterz and Soul Calibur VI to Smash. Then again, I don't have an intense fondness for the franchise or the Nintendo characters like a lot of people do.

 

[jett]

People still care about ARMS?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

ARMS?

end this unfunny meme

 

[Resilient]

Arms down?

I liked this

 

[Dead Guy]

ARMS??? Fucking ARMS OP!?!

In short, no

 

[YuriLowell]

No DBZF is still more fun than smashu.

 

[Nintenkun]

I thought by 2017 you meant Pokken DX lol

Click to shrink...

actually it was developed by bandai namco not nintendo

 

[Nintenkun]

Arms is the best fighting games this。gen

 

[MechaX]

2017 shouldn't even be a discussion; Tekken 7 by far blows anything out of the goddamn water.

2018... maybe.. I still think UNIST is better, but you also have DBFZ. DBFZ has some problems in its own right, but Smash U had to fuck things up for itself by launching with online in the state that it's in. If Nintendo manages to unfuck Smash U's online by the end of the year, then I'll probably give it v. DBFZ another thought

 

[jett]

ARMS?

end this unfunny meme

ARMS was gonna be the next big FG esport.

Remember that.
