I've heard that it's because it's a smash clone. I agree, but disagree. I love this game. I play it with my brothers and cousins and it never gets old. The characters all have different fighting tactics and none are bad, so if you choose a random one, you'll most likely get one you like (except the seer, she sucks). The characters you can buy are great and I love Kai in this game and the creative maps.
