The Core of a Fighting Game or System of a Fighting Game

[d3v]

But I think the core of a fighting game resides in how the makers develop the system. System and core go hand and hand because you can't have a core without a system and vice versa. It's up to the players to expound upon the system and find what matters to achieve the end result. Maybe I'm wrong lol.

But you have to consider that there are times where the players develop the system beyond what the developers intended. Happens more often with 2D games than 3D, but the point is it does happen.
