[QUOTE="gagit811"]True true, But I think with online modes starting to enter the fighting genre, I truly believe that fighting games will get back to that way, but people are saying that the fighting genre is more or less dead, but I say not. And true SF and MK sold 19 and 23 million copies but they were on like 10 different consoles. Either way, I don't think the fighting genre will ever die and I think it is going to get back to the good ol' days with online.its not that they not making fighting games anymore. Its more that the 90s was the fighting game era. Street fighter 2, mortal kombats, tekkens. The death of arcades killed the genre (well not really) but back then they where cranking out fighters like they do FPS today. The genre is down and will probably never reach its level of main stream it was at. mortal kombat has sold over 19 million, street fighter sold 23 million, this was in the 90's. they would be lucky to sell more then 2 million of any fighting game today. thats just the way it is. I am and old street fighter, mortal kombat, world heroes, hell any neo geo fighting game vet. I used to live in the arcades. trust me it will never be the same as it was, Im not saying its not main stream, or they don't sell well anymore. Its just hard to top 23 million sold.

correction: DBZ Budokai 3 IS a real fighting game

My bad, I love DBZ budokai 3, I prolly should of quoted real fighter, but the DBZ games in genre have never been considered "real fighters" by other people, and really they were not until DBZ budokai 3 came out, but the Tenkaichi games are in no way "real fighters" but they are fun. Hopefully Burst Limit is exactly like budokai 3 with better graphics and animations and maybe some more moves and a little tweaking to the gameplay.
i agree with u 100%, the fps genre is ruling but when someone gets a crazy fighting online mode for a fighter it will boom again. VF5 was ok the online could have been better and its kinda hard to control on the 360 but none the less DOA4,Tekken, and Soul Calibur. That mortal kombat was hot too it could be a lil more balanced and deeper it would be coo to kill ur opponent on line after a grueling fight in HD. Neways Fighters aren't ever going away jus like those FPS I don't know when another resurrgence is coming but Me and U will probably be part of it cuz im down for it!
