I grew up in the house that SF2 built so I really don't get all of this talk about Killer Instinct and Primal Rage. I don't even get KOF or VF.
The thing I do realize is that if there were a mess of sequels then I bet it was a good game if only that fans supported it enough that the developers kept on making them for arcade or console.
In that way I respect these series and collected many of the console variants.
• Street Fighter 2 and it's many variants.
• Street Fighter III
• Street Fighter Alpha
• Dark Stalkers series
• Capcom VS games…
• Guilty Gear
• King of Fighters and many of the other SNK fighters.
• Tekken
• Virtua Fighter
• Soul Calibur. I love the fact that it's weapons based.
• Mortal Kombat
Someone should have licensed from Nintendo to bring SSBros to the arcade. I'm SURE it would have done pretty good.
Games like Primal Rage, Pit Fighter never had a sequel.
Killer Instinct had 2 versions. I know some guys here really liked these but they did horrible and I personally don't have friends that like these games enough to have the machines themselves.
The games that I liked had:
• Depth of gameplay.
• Varied styles of gameplay/technique strategy for each the different characters.
• Great characters/art and animation.
• Balance in that some characters could be better than others but you won on skill instead of just playing a better character.
• In tournament style play, one particular "cheap" character didn't rule it all.
• Not only is it a great competitive game to play but it made for a great spectator game to watch masters play.
• Whole communities and a fan base that supported, documented and furthered it's reach.
