What makes a good fighting game?

[RyuEmatsu]

I read the Indie Game article and thought of this. If I were to make one, what should it be like? I know that gameplay’s the most important thing in a fighting game, but what else do people like? I mean, things like play-style, modes, characters, netcode, etc…

Not but seriously, it depends on what type of fighter your trying to make.

What elements would make up the perfect 2d fighting game?

^this. -the game should have the ability to customize your character like cvs2,ah, and sdbz. and it should have rock-paper-scissors feel to it…so like, your customized character should have an advantage over one type of opponent but a disadvantage over another -team play where you can switch your characters in & out during play like kofxi or mvc2 -mvc2’s combos, both ground and air type combos. air combos should be simple and universal…lp,lk,sp,sk…most characters shouldn’t have a double jum…

Depends on the person. Few people believe that video games is a social event. A large amount of people believe that video games is entertainment. The rest who don’t consider video games entertainment don’t play video games.

Ever watch a Muay Thai match or anything? You want to see someone get hit and you may also look at the girls during the round breaks. That’s about it.
