I disagree about the content part.  Having more stuff doesn't make a game better.  There are fighting games that have 20 characters but if half that number is a mirror mechanic in gameplay as the other half the experience doesn't increase based on the content provided.

Personally I rather have 6 very distinct characters that are well balanced.  There gameplay mechanic is fun and different from the other characters and they are well defined in their combat, defense and othe abilities.  I was never a big fan of KI but I am willing to give the game a shot when I get a chance to play.

You do realize that games with more content are successful such a GTA V. Do you see a trend here buddy because I can see it from a mile away. (Destiny and watchdogs will be a smash success just so y;know.)

 

Exactly what measuring stick are you basing a successful fighting game.  I believe we are not on the same page.  I am not basing my view on if KI can sell like Smash Bros, I am basing my view on if KI has enough depth to its characters that people who play fighting games on a competitive level view it as tournament worthy.  The person in question within the OP is a competitive fighting game player.  His view is along the lines of how worthy KI is as a competitive level game.

KI does not need to sell like those games you mention if it can become a stable in tournament play.

I leave sells for fanboys interested in that type of metric.
