@R2C25 Apparently, Microsoft/Rare failed to renew the copyright for the name in the mid 2000's. It was then by chance that Fox did a very short lived drama of the same name. The name is now under Fox's ownership and will be until the copyright has expired. Now Microsoft can't use the name "Killer Instinct".
This was a great year for fighting games, EVO was a success, as was the SF 25th Anniversary. With SFxT ver. 2013 coming out in January and the many fighting games on the way, I only hope next year will be successful. That being said, Street Fighter is starting to get stale once again as even now, long time players with dedicated characters are now switching to "higher" tier characters. The latest being EG | Justin Wong and EG | PR Balrog who have been long time users of Rufus and Balrog are being forced to switch in order to place higher in tournaments. It's coming to the point where SF4 is turning into Third Strike where the top 3 in most tournaments would come down to one of 3 characters: Chun, Ken, or Yun. But in the case of Street Fighter 4, Cammy (FNEX | K-Brad, Alioune), Akuma (Infilitration, Tokido), Adon (Gamerbee), and Fei Long (Mago, Fuudo). The only people who still stay true to the character they are known for, is the case of Daigo (Ryu), Xian (Gen), and Bonchan (Sagat).
