Fighting games have extremely limited appeal.
Smash Bros is one of Nintendo's biggest series. And don't go saying "Smash isn't a fighting game!" because it 100% is. They changed things to appeal to a much wider audience and lowered the barrier of entry.
Smash Bros got to where it is because nostalgia-addled Nintendies like watching their favorite action figures whacking each other. All the other Smash-likes were dead on arrival.
Yup. And there's little or no crossover between smash and any other fighter.
Smash isn't a fighting game. :)
Why exactly are people still trusting Arc System after the shit they pulled with Guilty Gear Strive anyways? They should be on most people's shit list, especially the people here.
There aren't any other fighting game studios that will whore themselves out for licensed cash grabs like Arc will.
That's true. Just amazes me, everyone here was rightfully pissed at Arc System for making Testament "Non-binary", and Bridget a tranny yet some of the dudes that were pissed are just brushing it off and excited for Tokon, a fucking modern Marvel game.

As someone who's been playing fighting games for a long time now, this is true and anyone who thinks they can break through to mainstream adoption is absolutely fucking nuts. You have to be at least a little bit of a masochist to get anywhere in the genre because the time investment to grind through loss after loss after loss in order to scrape you way up to being a mediocre player is demoralizing enough to make the vast majority of people quit. The genre is simply a house of pain and suffering that most people aren't willing to endure. On the other side though, it offers some truly unique experiences in the form of mind reading and the ability to outright crush another person's spirit.
