The Most Awesome Fighting Games That Don’t Yet Exist But We Need to See

Before first person shooters became the dominant species or before Gran Turismo decided to take decade long gaps between releases, the one type of game that everyone could jump into was a fighting game. Mostly like, a 2D fighting game (3D fighting games somehow took on a whole new skill set). They were and still are easy to attract fans for a couple for a couple of reasons. 1) Anyone can jump in, no matter your play style. But also because fighting games can encompass so many different licenses and characters. True, the best fighting games that have stood the test of time tend to be the ones that created all of their characters and lore (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat), but it’s always fun to see some characters you know from outside those properties, suddenly getting off 7 point combos and letting the god loose on some stock character. The games varied in quality, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t awesome taking Spider-Man versus the field in Capcom vs Marvel, or wielding the cheat mode that wasn’t if you had Spawn on the Xbox version of Soul Caliber IV. And while it was built heavily on the back of the Mortal Kombat reboot, but Injustice: Gods Among Us gave us the DC fighter we didn’t even know we wanted. So what other universes would work for a fighting game?
