Fighting games are often compared and contrasted among the ranks of others out there. At the least, Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat serve as default comparisons used to give them some sort of grounds for basis.
Now, throw a motion based Kinect fighter into the mix and you don’t have much to compare it to.

I’ll open this by saying that Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth (Wii U) is a terrible game. Like, it’s REALLY BAD, you guys. The most repetitive, simplistic, fighting game I’ve played in my memory, and certainly the worst game I own for the Wii U. “SO WHY DO YOU OWN IT?” Well, I’ll tell you: because my six-year-old son loves it.
Nintendo Life: Let's face it – for the uninitiated, the fighting genre can be daunting. Millisecond-perfect timing and the memorisation of several-button-presses-long combos are often essential to win, and unfortunately not everybody has enough time to spend shining up their Shoryukens. Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth lowers the entry barrier to the genre, ensuring that anybody can get in on the action, though its overly simplified approach may have hardcore fighter fans sneering “zero” rather than “hero”.
Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth is a fighting game developed by Ubisoft Quebec. It was originally released for Xbox 360 (Kinect) at the end of 2012, though has now been released on the Wii U
A Kinect fighter that's...decent? Surprises abound.
A Kinect title with a decent score and no comments on N4G? Sounds about right.
I gues only hardcore gamers play hardcore games, bro.
Seeing as I'm blasted with hate for every time I support the kinect I will just reply with ... Meh
