Some fighters are dial-a-combo, like MAHVEL, others are more about zoning and mind games, like Street Fighter and King of Fighters.
I don't care that I took the bait, but for those that think that OP is correct are a bunch of idiots that got wrecked at their local arcade when SF4 came out. Fighters are 20% learning, 80% skill.
MOBA/DOTA clones are more about memorization really. It's 90% learning, 10% skill. Any idiot can click on things and press keys. You have to learn all the champs, items, and all that shit. On top of that, there are new champs all the time, and constant tweaks, so one has to constantly keep playing, and thus you keep spending time and money.
Fighters update yearly if that. Only things patched out really are bugs or something that too broken and exploitable.
