TF2 players are pissed to this day about the changes Valve made to the game in the name of competitive.
From what I've seen its an absolute waste of time to try to please comp players. I play hoi4, and basically every comp game is modded and rulecucked to the point that the game is barely recognisable. Any change to please the competitive players is worthless if it even slightly detracts from casual play, as they won't give a shit as they will mod it to be the way they want, and ban the rest through rules.

Jap game companies are impressive in how spiritually jewish they all are. At least their consoles are better than microcuck and have games doebeit geg.
I personally find smash bros a bit too competitive for a party game, even brawl. Its not a fault of the game, its just that all fighting games are like that. If one person has spent a gorillion hours on it they will curbstomp their friends and its no fun.
Mario kart is gemmy for party gaming doe. Give everyone a controller and they can all have fun if they've played for like 2 hours before in their lives. I sweat single player mario kart wii but thats just because I love the mechanic feel of the game, its still plenty of fun to play with my younger sister and the items mean that she has a rare chance to beat me. Also racing games are inherently better fitted to a party game role as you can do well independently of the other players doing well by being in front of the bots, while fighting games are too direct where if one person wins, the other necessarily loses.
