They're shitty in that they don't tend to go anywhere and once they are completed (if that even happens), they usually aren't that great. You can't ever hope to outdo a professional product like Smash Bros. Even creating something remotely close is unlikely. Sure, his demo might be super dope, but I don't think a fan game created by so many people can be that great. I doubt it even feels like Smash Bros to begin with. If it did, he should be a famous indie game developer or be a coder for some company. Next, this is obviously a "team" effort, but the number of people involved seems to be hindering progress. Even on the first page, it's obvious that "this is not going to be finished". It's obvious, considering how long this thread has been stretching on for, that not everyone is too dedicated. Why seek to imitate an already existing project? Why not just try something original.
