i worded it like that because I did not exclusively mean fighting games, i'm throwing anime arena slop like the new bleach game and even dark souls PVP into the equation here. there's a reason that attempts to make it palatable don't last. even smash players are super divided on which of the main games are the best, and remember that Melee only came out like that more or less by accident. even smash clones shit the bed in one or two aspects
objectively the most popular smash clone with large competitive prize pools is brawlhalla and yet for some reason its not accepted by what is considered "competitive fighter" communities. curious
