Just wondering, a lot of people complain that fighting games don't really change and in many ways are still trying to emulate Street Fighter 2, or Smash Bros more recently, and a lot of complaints about it being hard for newcomers to get in...the thing is, there have been games that attempted to simplify the genre or make it more attractive for newcomers, all of them failed.
And nothing has been as well liked as the good old style started by Street Fighter, even games like Tekken are still small arenas where you fight 1 VS 1 and dish out combos or moves, it just feels like a genre that is actually hard to innovate because any major idea seems to either make things worse or make the games seem more appropriate for another genre entirely.
Still, if so many people complain about how fighting games don't evolve or need new ideas, i am sure that users here have some good ideas that i haven't thought of.
