tbh we shouldn't even have a diverse cast, or graphics, or stages, or music, anything but mechanics and a blank poly model
a truely competitive fighting game made for real fighting game players would be just two standard models who play exactly the same that way only the better competitive fighter is able to win in the competitive match competitively
the only game mode should be ranked match too because that's all that matters in the competitive fighting game even though everyone says online ranking is pointless and means very little.
