What is the best platform fighter outside of Smash Bros.?

Some weird necromancy going on here.
But I have recently started playing Brawlhalla and have been enjoying it a lot.

Sure it does. The solution in Smash is that if you try to camp on the side of the screen all your friends hate you and start ganging up on you.
It sounds like I'm being sarcastic but I'm not. These interactions are part of why casual Smash with friends is so much fun.
Towerfall is dope. Digimon Rumble Arena too. I'd give it to those two as the best.
I actually enjoyed PSASBR as well though. And Indie Pogo, but I'm biased for any crossover.

A Jump Ultimate Stars console game with a budget behind it would be the one thing to rival Smash
The person who is in the lead will 100% get ganged up on. "kill stealing" in a free for all sounds like a joke, like do you expect people to play honorably in casual smash? how dull

Yeah, Rivals Of Aether is easily my second favourite platform fighter. Love the pixel art animation, and how unique the fighters' movesets are. Feels less conservative and more experimental than Smash.
This game was truly good. A sequel or port to switch is needed;I'm glad someone got the correct answer. I don't know how we haven't gotton a new version of Jump Ultimate Stars. Anime Classics + Smash Gameplay + MvC style assists? How are you not jumping on that?
That 'solution' is circumstantial at best: it only works if the camper gets noticed, who often doesn't.
Relying on players to fix a game design flaw is not how you truly solve the problem. That's like saying a player who keeps using a glitch or unbalanced weapon is fine as long as everyone else gangs up on him.
Plus, I wasn't talking about casual Smash. Things like balance are less important in a casual setting. I was talking about competitive. Smash's incompetent mechanics as a 4 player game could be one of the reasons why 4 player FFA Smash has never been taken seriously at tournaments. PSASBR's system, on the other hand, showed potential for that.

The Outfoxies deserve a mention. Released in arcades in 1994 by Namco. Way ahead of the game.
Man... how much i want a remake of this gem
No. Because Power Stone 2 (and 1) are better than any Smash.
I enjoyed the core gameplay of PlayStation All-Stars more than Smash, even with the imbalances. Too bad it got shamed out of existence.
PlayStation All-Stars, the gem that was rejected by society.
Got more hours of play on Vita from me than SSBU on Switch.

Well one could argue that it's shamelessness brought the shaming. Could have strived for more uniqueness.

The best after Smash.
Jump Ultimate Stars is pretty damn great. It's healthbars with supers and ringouts. It's also got very underrated team customization that lets you design your team however you want (i.e. you can go solo, you can run assists, you can have multiple playable characters to tag between etc.)
PlayStation Battle Royale is pretty fun in the mode it was actually designed for (i.e. Timed FFA's).
Also, Super Smash Flash 2 exists and isn't half bad. It actually plays like Smash, just with 2D graphics / sprites.

Such sound logic like this would've been so useful on the forums during the game's infancy, when everyone just thought copying Smash's 1v1 Stock was the best way to go :P
Sounds like someone who didn't actually play the game.
