Oh I read it. But with that reasoning, 2016 COULD be the best year for fighting games with one single fighting game coming out called Dragonball (Insert title). You never know. I went with a ggigantic list of games that has something that appeals to everyone, rather than a very small list that could appeal to some.

Though regarding Street Fighter and Tekken, Tekken Tag 2 took a full year to go from Arcade to console. And Tekken 6 took two years.
Following that pattern, it's very possible that we won't see Tekken 7 on console next year, since it won't hit the arcades until February.

Street Fighter IV took 7 months to go from Arcade to console. However, we've barely seen anything from the game, let alone heard about an arcade release date, so I wouldn't be too optimistic about it coming out on console next year either.

So then you're left with Mortal Combat X and Dragonball = Best year ever?

Like some mentioned in this thread, it doesn't seem like young people today know what a good year in fighting games was like back in the day when we got sequels for pretty much every game every single year, if you think those 4 games in 2015 (which may very well just be 2 games) means best year ever.  I mentioned 2012 since it's relatable to everyone. But I can mention a lot better years than that if we go back a few years.

I'm not exactly as young as you think, I'm 22 and this month I'm turning 23 years old.

But I started gaming in 2009, so I guess you might know better.
