There's people that actually prefer 3 to 4? whoah
To this day, after one level of awful physics, licensed music, awful characters, awful stories, I refused to play 3 ever again.
Yet somehow, 4 has
uglier characters,
more licensed music,
worse stories, and I love it.
I think some of the weapons are creative, like the two types of missiles that launch other missiles, those are super cool. I also love the flammable
toxic waste
. Rob Zombie being a playable character is odd, but a fun idea. Pizza Boy's special is unique imo, and I love using it. I also love the boss at the end of every stage, makes the roster a little more fleshed out, even if half of the people just have the gravity hole special in some variation, which imo, is 100x cooler than everyone having axel's shockwave in 2012.
also fuck sweet tooth
Sure, quality > quantity, but when the quality sucks, more chracters means there's probably more semi-good ones. Plus, the custom character system, while primitive and limited, is really cool for it's time.
