I'm not saying the game is not going to be pomegranate. I'm just saying that it's got it's own merits that can potentially make it a success. People are too quick to jump down the "ITS A COPY OF SMASH BROTHERS! KILL IT!" route, and I've seen that before and in many other situations the same has been done and said for other games and the people who say it end up eating their words because the game turns out to be pretty good.
It's honestly too soon to be jumping to such conclusions. As far as I can tell the only point of reference is that single GTTV episode, which:
1) Shows about 5 characters.
2) Shows about 3 maps.
3) Barely goes in depth about how the game even plays.
4) Shows nothing about the controls.
5) Barely shows mechanics.
All we've seen are physics and camera mechanics similar to Smash Brothers, and we've seen some mechanics that we can only imply as to their purpose, because they were not explained. 95% of games share qualities between other games.
SF VS Tekken
CoD VS BF
Old FF VS DQ
DQMonsters VS Pokemon
The list goes on.
I don't remember every game that has similar mechanics to another getting chastised like this, especially when we have little information about the game. Sure, we have a basic concept to how the game plays, but for all we know negative response to the whole Super system could lead it to be completely changed. It's been known to happen in plenty of other games, where negative response causes the developer to change the entire game.
