This game deserves money.

It should be clear that the developer really took a good look at what makes smash so great and went how can I totally change this without loosing its familiarity. Well done, sirs. The aesthetic and color scheme are perfect, the sounds and music are right on, and need I mention the local multiplayer?!?! Hard to come by nowadays, especially on Xbox. All the characters are so unique (love the whole elemental animal thing) with enough depth to keep it interesting/fun, but not too overwhelming like the way smash makes me feel at times. All I can say is don't add too many more characters (it just seems so well balanced right now), keep updating as you seem to have been with stages, songs, features and perhaps costumes and I disagree with what I have seen others say... don't add items. IMO, doing that will just detract from how clean and inviting the gameplay is. You're onto something if my wife sits here, watches a quick match and goes, "hm... I think I could get into that."
