It is absolutely impossible to have a non-estabilished franchise releasing a successful fighting game, huh? It's alright, I'll just watch Riot's attempt fail as well.

And no, I don't want to hear anything about rollback netcode. Casuals don't care and you need them to keep playing if you want success.

Skullgirls and Under Night In-Birth are the newest original IP fighting games that could reasonably be called "successful" IMO, both from 2012.

Multiversus was genuinely a mess though, even if fighting games weren't a hard genre to break into it'd have been a failure.
