The things for me to like fighting games include
:
1) in my opinion it is a big evolution of most action/beat-them-up video games, more actions assured;
2) more actions mean more animation frames, which helps a lot to bring out a specific aspect of a character (i.e. various taunt/win/lose/draw poses can show a character's personality/preference);
3) more detailed intro/ending in each character helps to explain the background story of him/her/it;
4) more voices are put into each character = adding more life to him/her/it;
5) every fighting game requires a certain skill, and it is good for one's reflex/fingers training;
6) tournament capability to the max;
7) yes, I agree almost all fighting games artwork look very splendid.
The things for me to dislike fighting games include
:
1) besides trying to train with fighters I like, also needing to try to understand fighters I don't like, in order to find their weaknesses;
2) some flashy screens hurt my poor eyes (actually not just fighting games...);
3) some fighting games (SengokuBasaraX/BlazBlue/GuiltyGear/MeltyBlood/ArcanaHeart/BigBangBeat...etc...) systems are too hard to me (my own problem indeed...);
4) feels a bit sad when my favorite fighters are ranked low in those "tiers lists";
5) keep falling in the same set-up tricks by the other opponent(s);
6) during a cool combo doing, at the end the last finishing hyper move fails to connect/to be executed;
7) some too-easy or too-hard CPU A.I.
