Then the time when SF2, MK, Tekken, Soul Edge/Calibur hit the shelves was the age of diamond encrusted platinum master sword. I guess.

Hunting Season is done...

Not a golden age, but a renaissance of fighting games.

You forgot about Arms!

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

It's definitly a resurgence... and i could go with golden age in terms of the gameplay. OG SF2 and MK were extremely clunky. Think are much more fluid now.

We are still direly missing Capcom vs SNK 3 though!

Modern fighting games have too many DLC characters, and are not complete enough on release. Just look at SFV, KI, and Injustice 2.

A lot of modern fighting games are also overly technical, and require plank time level of button inputs to play at a competitive level.

So 90's win by a landslide.

You missed the mid-90's. Almost every title you mention has a number next to it. Think about that.

I cam to say that the golden age of fighting games happened during that era. :P

The 90s were gold for fighting games.

Mortal Kombat 2, Killer Insting, Soul Caliber, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter III Third Strike, Virtua Fighter 3...

And clayfighter. Never forget clayfighter.
