mm-hmm.

the main reason for my beef with Smash tho is the fact that it dosen't have any life meters. only this flimsy numbers.

to me, a fighting game with no life meter is just not a fighting game. some fighting games i hated for the same reason are Violence Fight (uses digits. its sequel/update Solidary Fighter has life meters, which is why i preferred that one) and Bushido Blade (no HUD at all. and because of that, you can pretty much be killed with one hit. harsh)

wrestling games with no such life bars i treat better. because less clutter makes the game more authentic in this case. and authenticy is always one of a sports game's objectives.
