I'd really love to see a side by side comparison of the technical aspects of fighting games.
Things like:
# of characters
# of special moves per character
# of combos
highest and lowest % damage normal move
fastest lateral/vertical movement
things that interrupt game play (x-rays, etc)
game play mechanics unique to that specific game
I've only played a few fighting games very thoroughly (SF2Turbo, Tekken 2, Capcom Vs SNK 2, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3, 9, Super Smash Bros. Melee) and am interested in many others (King of Fighters, Street Fighter x Tekken, Rival Schools, P4A) - I'd like to find out which game I should try out next but other than just picking 'em up and playing them, I kind of want to figure out what it is that I like about my favorite games on a technical level - and maybe try games that are similar or totally opposite to that element.
