...during the arcade era it wasn't. The skill ceiling actually is pretty low for most arcade fighters. The ones that were high skill ceiling games didn't do all that well in arcades; Street Fighter 3 or Virtua Fighter for example.
The skill ceiling rising was mostly due to consoles, and I'd put it during the dreamcast/psone era when fighters started becoming really intricate.
- emodendroket 9y agoHave you watched people talking about option selects and stuff in Super Turbo? There's a reason people still play that stuff. It seems to me you're talking more about game with a high skill floor, if you will.
- emodendroket 9y agoI should also say that it seems like a stretch to say Virtua Fighter didn't do well in arcades, but that had more to do with the graphics.
