Fighting games are a community I’ve long existed on the fringe of. I’ve never been hardcore into them, but I float along the periphery of the community, keeping my eye open for any games that might kindle that fighting spirit inside me.  This year…could be a surprisingly great year for fighting games.

Costing $100 out of the box to unlock  all the characters (and requiring pre-order to obtain two more) is pretty scummy as things go. And yeah, I know, Bandai-Namco. Just because it’s expected doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck.
