What do you think are the Good points and bad points of this game???

Street Fighter II was the breakthrough game, and one of the best ever. SSBM is a great game, but as far as fighting games go, there are a great many games which surpass it. But SSBM is more "fun"
Whether you prefer it over something else is your personal opinion.
I'd personally choose it over any other beat-em up.
Out of all of the ones I've played - that includes all the realistic beat-em ups as well as Street Fighter style cartoony ones.
It gives you more freedom for fight your own way and style and places more emphasis on quick spontaneous skill rather than learning large button combinations.
As for Power Stone, I've not played it, but I don't think that a 3D game could offer the same tight control of Smash brothers.
I've always wanted to try it though.

I agree, when i play SSBM first time around i thought this is just like powerstone. But then i got bored of the arenas in SSBM, yer ok they move about abit and sometimes half of the level gets wiped out, even this gets boring after 3 or 4 goes on that level. But thats nothing compared to the power stones series. There are different routes and you actually determin where you wanna go next on the level. I have to say i prefer power stone series as a multiplayer fighter then SSBM.

Its big
will take long time to fully complete
bad points
too big
gets boring very quickly
shallow
fighting "cheaply" is just as likely to win as fighting "skilfuly"
Only a few modes that are worth bothering with
