Fighting Games

Man, 2016 was a great year for fighting games, wasn't it?

Street Fighter V constantly improving since it's lackluster launch, more info on Tekken 7, Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator, MKX Kombat pack 3, Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite's annoucement, Killer Instict season 3 AND The King Of Fighters XIV.

There's no nothing clever I can say, this year has been amazing for the genre.

Oh btw, I'm just going to leave this here for you enjoyment, think of it as a chrismas gift of sorts even though I didn't made it:

Most definitely. We've also had Under Night in-Birth on PC, Injustice 2 (now Supergirl trailer up) and Bayonetta in Smash(still a crap game though).

I had a lot of fun playing Violent Ken at Nintendo Switch event. Character is dumb as hell.

[ZpaceJ0ck0]

^ Fun character or not, I still believe that another version of SF2 was completely unnecesary. And for those out there asking, no, I wasn't joking when I said I wanted a SFI update/remake on the Nintendo Switch thread, with SFII gameplay and with every character being playable.

- The game is barely playable
- Moves only come out when they feel like coming out
- Only one playable character with a clone for versus mode
- Has a couple of characters that were never playable and probably never will (Retsu, Geki, Joe...)
- It'd be interesting to see a version of SFI that plays well
- Good way to celebrate the 30th anniversary
- We could play as Eagle again

I understand that it was Capcom's first attempt at a fighting game (and a rather primitive one at that), and that people probably didn't mind about the controls back then. But SFII (a game that is already competent by itself) has tons of updates, that improved upon an already good game, and SFI (a game that would greatly benefit from an update) has none.

There is a MUGEN game that sort of did this, but I'd like to see an official version of it.

Looks like I'm asking for too much.
