Smash, or at least platform fighters, are fighting games, and my favorite subgenre.

Rivals 1 was a unique plat fighter with aggressive and movement based neutral designed around drift DI, freeform combos, and no shields and ledges, focusing on self unified character kits.

And then R2 was the 35th melee clone.
What a fucking shame dan threw away smash Guilty Gear for fucking Melee/PM AGAIN!
not to mention, the ROACH is involved too. I regret backing R2 and wish somone would make a PM-like mod for it that makes it just like R1
Best part is, R2's player numbers are firmly under the 1000's a week after every major patch. It wouldn't be like that if it was a real R1 sequel.
