10 Features That Should Be Standard In Every Fighting Game
4. Character Customisation
Everyone loves to customise their own character. It's a fun and engaging process that allows you to add your own personal touch to the game world. Whilst purely aethestic, creating your own character adds immense variety and replay value to games like Soulcalibur V and most recently, the Miis in Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U. With the endless possibilities in customisation for which these games allow, you'll never know what freaky character you'll run into next. Not every fighter needs or should have an in-depth "Create a Soul" mode. Capcom vs SNK 2 for example, allows you to change the name and colour palette for any character on the roster to whatever you wanted. This means that you're no longer stuck with half a dozen or so alternate colours. Instead, you can make them whatever you want! This way, everyone wins.
Ken was born in 1994, and before the turn of the century, he was already a gamer for life, starting with Pokémon Blue Version. He has a passion for storytelling, especially in the gaming medium. Growing up on a healthy diet of JRPGs and point and click adventure games, young Kenny grew up playing Nintendo and Sony consoles, before becoming a snobby member of the PC Master Race. Nowadays, he resides in a time warp, refusing to believe the nineties ended as he fills up his Steam library with old point and clicks and cRPGs.
