Certainly not. Ah, but lets just look at, I dunno, Evo2013 because its the most recent tournament I can think of.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Mortal Kombat 9
Street Fighter X Tekken 2013
King of Fighters XIII
Persona 4 Arena
Smash bros Melee
Oh. Of those, Only Persona 4 and melee don't include DLC characters. But the rest of them do, and clearly had enough of a "metagame" to be featured at a large fighting tournament. If the metagame is such an importance, why do you even need a new game if, as you put it, " it changes SO QUICKLY AND OFTEN" without a new game? Or that they should remove the idea of updates to satisfy the small number of people who care about that stuff (compared to the audience anyway: go on, claim that a majority of the 11.5 million sales of brawl care about the metagame stuff).
Forgive my lack of sleep vomiting s'hit all over the place.
Metagame in itself adapts, so this point was silly.
However, I've never seen people who own brawl (outside of like...small children) not mention something along the lines of "tripping sucks", "metaknight is OP", or something like that at some point so they do care about it to some extent whether they're actively involved in progressing/discussing it or not. I severely doubt that if DLC occurred that changed a character perceived to be powerful in a way that is then seen as worse, or if a new character comes out that is perceived as strong, a majority of the audience would say nothing. So yeah...people do care about metagame, and even more importantly, the developers do.
Lozmaster Wrote:This is also bad logic. Do you think that because they released New Super Luigi U as DLC for New Super Mario Bros U, that the game was rushed? Or all the extra maps for fire emblem? Releasing extra content later doesn't mean the game was rushed.
I have no idea what those titles are about so as far as i know they're two different games.
And i've already said my argument is exclusively about cast changes, not stages or extra stuff.
Also i'm SO GLAD you mentioned evo because now this won't be off topic.
