The Next Generation of the Fighting Genre - Mortal Komabt 10, Tekken 7, Soulcalibur VI, Killer Instinct, and Super Smash Bros. Wii U
With Killer Instinct III now here and Super Smash Bros. Wii U under way, the next generation of fighting games has already begun.
Still, it seems quite empty and hollow without a few other games, ones that may not come around for a few more years. I'd like to expand on these titles.
Mortal Kombat 10
Ideal Release Date: Fall 2014, Spring 2015
Likely Release Date: Spring 2016
The starting point for me, Mortal Kombat 10 (or Mortal Kombat 2, for those counting MK2011 as a reboot) is the fighting game I am most looking forward to. However, it is also the game that is likely to be released last out of all the games I've listed. My reason for believing this is in regard to Netherrealm Studios being a growing company, eager to expand beyond the Mortal Kombat franchise. We may likely see many new releases from NRS before MK10 comes around, much to my dismay.
Tekken 7
Ideal Release Date: Fall 2014
Likely Release Date: Fall 2016, 2017
This is a game I think should have been released a long time ago. However, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was released instead, but I'll admit it makes a good stall. Nevertheless, I am itching to see a new Tekken with new characters, and possibly Sebastian with his own fighting style. Unfortunately, due to the campaign for Tekken Revolution still being in existence, and Tekken X Street Fighter possibly still in development, I doubt the game will be released anytime this year.
Soulcalibur VI
Ideal Release Date: Summer 2015, Spring 2016
Likely Release Date: Summer 2016
At the release of the Soulcalibur V, I was so upset with the absence of Sophitia, Taki, Talim, and Zasalamel (and I still am), I was immediately anticipating Soulcalibur VI. Two years later, I feel the game is half-way towards its release. Soulcalibur games tend to be released three to four years apart, so I predict SC6 will make its appearance on the shelves sometime in 2016.
Marvel vs Capcom 4
Ideal Release Date: Fall 2014, Spring 2015
Likely Release Date: UTD
Though I doubt we'll see this game anytime soon, I am still hoping marvel vs Capcom 4 gets a release within the next few years. I am highly looking forward to the return of Mega Man and Venom, and I'm also looking forward to seeing more Darkstalkers characters venture into the series, particularly Q-Bee. But of course, it seems MvC4 may undergo a long, strenuous development process, one that could stretch five years beyond today.
Well, that's all I got. Hopefully one of these games is released this year, though I seriously doubt it.

Ultra Street Fighter 4 is a continuation of a previously released installment.
If anything, I would mention a Street Fighter V, which I know won't be coming around anytime soon. We all know how Capcom loves to stretch out their Street Fighter campaigns.

I can't blame Capcom for this one. If people quit buying them, they'd stop making continuations. But this is the first SF4 I'm going to buy, so I am not complaining.
I use to be like that. Curse Capcom for making Super or Ultimate versions, but when I pictured MK doing it, I realized I'd probably support them. Imagine if MK9 was still getting support. New characters, new stages, new costumes, and all that jazz. I know I'd buy that.
But that's for another thread. You know what else? Edward Falcon for Marvel vs. Capcom 4. It's about time Power Stone gets some recognition.

I can't help but chuckle to myself when people refer to Super Smash Bros as a fighting game. I'm not saying it isn't, but for some reason it just sounds obscure to me. I see it more as a party game than a fighting game, but that's just me.

It is both, a party and a fighting game, you can play it however you like and still have fun

Darkstalkers 4 is something that definitely could happen, but not for a while. It's got such a cult following that Capcom will have to revisit it at SOME point.

They will make a Darkstalkers pachislot.
Oh, and there are rumors about Shaq Fu 2. Now, that's the game everyone were waiting for, right?
