The problem isn't fighting game characters in comparison to each other. The problem is how they're interpreted in Smash compared to their home games. Their animations, movesets, poses, etc. are all trying to emulate the home games as close as they can and while there is a charm to that, I find it incredibly boring.
The point of my post was focusing on why people see potential fighting game reps as the same so of course I only focus on what's the same. I even say at the end of the paragraph this would only be a guess of some of their mechanics. And then I finally conclude with the flaws of this thinking.
As I suspected, you misinterpreted my post.
I could see Marth's Dancing Blade mechanic (directional variation) applying to Heihachi's jab and side tilt strings. There could also be separate branches if you initiate the combos by tapping or holding A.
That's a particular aspect that doesn't click with you, and that's fine. But I do love to see 1:1 recreations in Smash, .. one thing I love about some characters like Mega Man, Sonic or K. Rool acting like their old sprites. Heck, people love to gush about Joker's Final Smash and Victory Screen as well ~
I want Bowser's Keep, but we all know Sakurai will foolishly go for Forest Maze.
Strong attack has been the official denomination for Tilts ever since Smash 64. I don't know why the community decided to ignore it since the beginning.
What's the connection? Spiral Mountain is the iconic and recurring starting area/hub world of the Banjo-Kazooie series. Forest Maze has good music, but it's just a random area of the game. You don't start there or even spend a lot of time there.
The Smash community has made some very questionable naming choices, if I recall right. Wasn't there some technique with fuck in the name or something like that?
I honestly think they avoided doing a stage with the Mount Rushmore, being a real world location.. I dunno.
I have no idea who you're talking about even if the video is familiar to me.
The level of competition is ridiculous. When you have Leo and Samsora playing for 13th place you know it's wild
It's kind of funny that people forget Geno actually has a theme, which is the extended version of the 'get a star piece' theme:
Yeah, his Young Link is great. I remember that people were hyping that character up when Ultimate first launched, but it's not very often that we see someone putting in that much work with him.
