Street Fighter IV is widely credited for jumpstarting the fighting game genre on home consoles. Other franchises helped contribute to the revival and for the last decade we're seeing more fighting game franchises come back to life. However, fighting games suffered some massive stumbles (SFV, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite) this generation. Also, other genres seem to be gaining attention in eSports circles, taking the spotlight away from fighting games (which helped define competitive gaming decades ago).
Lot of modern fighters have resorted to DLC practices to help pay the bills. Not sure if this will hurt the genre in the long run but it definitely clashes with the competitive/community nature of these titles.
Just curious to hear what GAFers think about the genre moving forward. Was the revival a blip or is it still going strong?
Personally, I'm soaking up all these fighters and loving it. Keep the train going.
