That thing better be life-size for that price!

deep_fried_bum_cake4740d ago

Doubt it. Life size things usually cost over £1000. It'll end up being like a foot tall or something close that. I'd be amazed if anyone bought it.

BISHOP-BRASIL4740d ago

It's a sculpture by Takayuki Takeya, those things are expensive and quality, but most are 10" to 2ft tall.

The guy is a real artist, not just everything he makes is really high detailed, it's also mostly hand finnished to perfection... The best dynamic materials (hair, cloth or other light stuff that waggle around) and see-through simulations I had seen by far.

If his work were life sized, 1000 pounds would actually be real cheap.

rezzah4740d ago

^
What he said.

Anything life size is crazy expensive.

For this price range though what you should expect is top quality and highly detailed figures, nothing less.

VTKC4740d ago

whoa! that price is far too rediculously expensive. One would think it was made by Louis Vuitton. I would be very suprised if anyone would buy it at that price.

tarbis4740d ago

freaking overpriced. I can buy a good laptop with that kind of money.

Blastoise4740d ago

Looks pretty epic actually. I'll give you a tenner?

Sainox164740d ago

Uhh..how bout I save tht money for future dlc instead

Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.

NotoriousWhiz747d ago

You don't have to care what anyone says. It's not a traditional fighting game. But it is a fighting game.

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

I mean what makes them an arena fighter than say something like Tekken? Because there’s platforms?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21747d ago

because theres a bunch of pokeballs and other random stupid stuff on stage that you can use at your advantage and flying ultra super power ball that you got to chase on the stage to get your ougi LMAO.

CrimsonWing69747d ago

@NatsuXTheMaxspeed21

I mean what it sounds like is they took a fighting game and “added” unique mechanics to it to me.

When I think arena game I think of things like Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand or Virtual-On.

Smash to me is a fighting game, they have fighting game tournaments for it. It just doesn’t jive with me to call it “not a fighting game” because you have poke-balls and platforms or because it has 4 players at once duking it out.

Power Stone I’d consider a fighting game as well. Hell, if you google what it is everyone calls these games “fighting games”. So yea, they’re fighting games…

Immagaiden747d ago

What’s next, you gonna say Mario Kart isn’t a racing game?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21747d ago

oh its a racer but its not a realistic one like GT or Forza. only kids check for mario kart and smash .

Immagaiden746d ago

I didn’t say it was realistic. I said racing game. Does Burnout not being realistic make it not a racing game?

What does a demographic have to do with a genre? Do kids playing CoD make it any less an FPS? You see how ridiculous bringing up that subject is?

repsahj746d ago

"Only kids and kids at heart check for mario kart and smash".

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984746d ago (Edited 746d ago )

Nobody said it was a traditional fighter. Everyone acknowledges it as a platform fighter

PSASBR & Power Stone are fighting games, the former being a platform fighter and the latter an arena fighter

gleepot746d ago

You're correct, it isn't traditional. It's a fighting game though.

repsahj746d ago

Because if cute and lovable characters are fighting it's not a fighting game? XD As long there's a versus fighting, it is a fighting game.

Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.

NotoriousWhiz747d ago

I hate to break it to you but smash bros has fighting game tournaments so it qualifies.

MrNinosan747d ago

"and here's how it competes against other fighters"

No, Mortal Kombat doesn't compete with games like Smash Bros? It's a different genre for a different audience.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21747d ago

Anybody can host a tournament in their garage it doesnt mean it qualifies.

NotoriousWhiz747d ago

I'm going to assume you're not part of the FGC. However, I am, and I can tell you that there is a ton of overlap between people who play smash competitively and those who play other fighting games competitively.

Now for casuals, there is a lot less overlap between the two for sure.

PapaBop747d ago

While technically true, Leffen comes to mind, FGC and Smash community have always had a rocky relationship.

Thundercat77747d ago

And yet, If Smash Bros was over 80 million, you wouldn't be complaining. On the contrary, you would be bragging about it.

Immagaiden746d ago

Bad comparison. You do a LOT of things in GTA outside of a car while fighting is what you’re mainly doing in SSB

Ezio2048747d ago

Given the volume of games released, I would say Tekken has sold the best.

lodossrage747d ago (Edited 747d ago )

Yeah, that's a good point. Most of these games have parts to the franchise outside of traditional fighting games.

Like for example, with Mortal Kombat, do Special Forces, Mythologies: Sub: zero, and the Kollection count?

With Tekken does death by degrees or the tag tournament games count?

With Street Fighter, are we counting all the iterations of 2, 3, and 4? how about the ex series or alpha series?

There are a lot of variables at play here

Ezio2048747d ago

Even after including Tekken Tag, they have less titles compared to all MK and SF games.

CS7746d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.
