2018 was a great year for fighting games, but a tumultuous one as well. We saw the downfall of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, the latest installment in one of Capcoms most adored fighting game properties. We saw Arc System Works release multiple games to the market, all of which succeeded, and none of which were Guilty Gear. We even saw the much awaited release of Nintendos latest entry in the Smash Bros. series, after months of speculation whether this would just be a port, or a new game, or something in between. But fighting games are all about being the best and toppling your opponents.
