Mega Man is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e, and Villager is the only one out of two characters who I like to use. Otherwise, it's not for me. I haven't played a Smash since Smash 64 and I'm trying to put my finger on what it is about it that I don't like.
At least they put out a demo for me to see what the fuss is all about but I don't really see what there is to make a fuss about. It feels so slow. Like everyone else said: it's a party game, not so much a fighter (so, I guess a party fighter). It's an arena brawler and one that's designed for everyone to be able to touch it, so there isn't a ton to get used to, so it's not for me I think. It's more than likely better with other people, but I'm old and I have no time to coordinate MP anymore so I'm not going to bother.
The demo has me mostly convinced that the production values are good and that it runs well as a single-player game (who knows how it is online or in local MP). But it definitely didn't sell me. I'm not going to bother buying it or the Wii U version because it didn't do a good job of even making me care about the IP despite everyone continuously telling me that it's oh-so-good (so at this point, I'll just quit paying attention when it comes to Smash talk because it just isn't for me and I haven't wanted to hear about it for a while now). I guess I have to reiterate that I just don't get it. Outside of Nintendo characters and the game itself being a reunion fighter akin to Dissidia only with less depth, I guess what appeals to people is the arena-style brawler gameplay (ex: limited movesets, less combo focus (which is interesting in the case of the villager who
does have a small combo focus), arena traversal, etc). The gameplay style isn't for me at all and it's too slow for my tastes. So the demo saved me a couple of bucks.
tl;dr: haven't played a smash game in years, game feels boring when you're not playing with other people, it's not really my type of thing after some evaluation, production values are gud, but outside of being a reunion nintendo ip i don't get it
It's one of those cases where I'm not sure if I'm the one in the wrong for not liking something that everyone tells me that I'm supposed to like, but whatever. It makes me feel uncomfortable, but this is more like a case where it doesn't jive well.
