Message: [QUOTE="kanesha, post: 77030, member: 130134"] I dunno, where are all the failed attemts? If failing to make a fighting game gives you a masive success like Smash Bros, then everybody should be on it xD I think the genre has massive untapped potential but you need these big AAA devs to be brave enough to try to fail. I mean we noobs are all so starved that random indie games that have like one gimmick as their whole fighting mechanic make us happy... oh boy, brace yourselves, my brain is racing right now with that slow combo idea: so you can do combo at any speed as long as you press the correct sequence, right?, ok, but if you are slow the opponet gets a window to do a fast punch or something, buuuuut, if you weren't actually slow or they mistimed it they get more damage for "struggling", so if you know your opponent is good you don't even try to break their combos, right?, BUT WAIT certain parts of certain combos do MORE DAMAGE if you do them slow, so there can be this whole mind game of would your opponent respect you and do the combo cleanly or will they try to eek out some of that juicy extra damage thinking you won't expect it or not be fast enough to react. I'm pretty sure dynamics like these exist in the games already at the top level, but you could make it a much more deliberate part of the game and make it more accessible, and let us casuals do roughly the same things pros are doing except slower.
