[Cse]

Weird dichotomy at Nintendo - Sakurai keeps pushing the "party game" mantra, while Nintendo is pushing Smash as a competitive game by hosting a formal tournament, releasing dedicated GC controller adapters for the "hardcore" players, etc.

Smash is both a party game and a fighting game, you can play the game however you want.

A competitive Smash player apparently just offered his services to help balance the game, and Sakurai told him off.

Melee was competitive AND and party game. Why does competitive automatically mean not a party game?

Pretty much. Competitive isn't a genre lol

Four people thought that Ganondorf could beat Meta Knight.

Speaking of Gannodorf he needs to be announced

[GregLombardi]

Sakurai has poured his blood into the game. I understand why the competitive player would say that, but it is sort of bad form.

 

[Pociask]

Hot damn, the guy in charge of graders giving letter grades to powers is throwing some upper cuts!
