Simplifying fighting games is a bad idea. It's their complexity that makes them fun. I used to think Street Fighter 2 was awesome back in the day, but playing it now shows how far fighters have moved on. Button-mashing FTL.

I think if you are suggesting SF2 was a button masher and/or was not complex as a SF2 world champion I can tell you that you are totally wrong and were probably not very good at it.  You can quickly learn the game but mastering it was another thing.  I could play a million games against someone who is well above average in SF2 and never lose once because once you mastered the game the gap between being a master and being a good player is immense.  But today's fighting games are not like that at all.  As long as you are above average you at least have a chance.
