DS Online Predictions:

[MuGen]

Now now now... I wouldn't even go there GameMaster....

The fighting genre is defined by Capcom and SNK.... they are the kings of fighters.

Super Smash Brothers is more brawler than fighting. Capcom/SNK will never die in my eyes as the "King of Fighters" <~~no pun intended.

EDIT: If you are referring to the Ryu, Ken, Akuma theme... they are all students of Hadou Shotokan..... there is a deep story behind a lot of the characters that Capcom and SNK create.... so just looking at them and saying they are clones and have the same moves isn't enough.
