For years the most defeated genre has always been fighting games that's because games like Tekken, Soul Calibur, and Virtua Fighter all have a high ass learning curve that no one cares about. People started to shrug them off like "Oh look another fighter game" Developers started to look in all other directions like adventure or shooter games. No one cared about the fighters anymore.
But Now since the resurgence of Street Fighter and MVC2, Fighters are really getting the balls to come back out and show what they got. Games like BlazBlue (although somewhat complicated), KOF XII (Which was shit), and Tekken 6 all came out and showed what they had and response is getting better. Now with Capcom's up and coming charge leading the front with MVC3 and this new Street Fighter X Tekken and Tekken X Street Fighter, Ed Boon couldn't sit still on this one and the beloved Mortal Kombat Franchise has once more resurfaced to really show everyone who's really got nuts.
The Back to back battle between Midway and Capcom has come again as Street Fighter 4 and MVC3 has to stand up to the new juggernaut simply named Mortal Kombat. It really isn't a coincidence that Ed boon showed his bushy brows just as Capcom is getting up it's momentum. And Namco had to get its ass saved by Capcom otherwise their relevancy was simply vanishing.
So in summary Capcom has single handedly saved an entire genre from extinction. Because God knows that another Tekken game really wouldn't have done it.
