true but yeah i think most peoples will call it a fighting games since it got alot of mechanics that fighting games have in general like hitstun combos etc. but i dont think either is right or wrong
It's a fighting game in the FGC because they show up in numbers to support the game offline. I understand that smash may not be a traditional fighter i agree but the community made it a competitive fighter. Now if we could do the same with our Ecchi Doa game that be cool.
