How is that different from what we got the last 6 years?

betting it all on purely cosmetics isn't a sure-way to guarantee your game will have a steady flow of cash. Like look at Battlefield V - it was promised years of free content, while DICE assumed they could finance the development through skins for weapons and soldiers. The game was still abandoned even despite the initial 60$ paywall. And here we're talking about an already much nicher genre making a full time switch to F2P, removing that first investment
It's why so many F2P projects also abuse practices like paid premium currencies or limited time items, as well as driving up the prices of other content and making the games grindier so people lose patience and open up their wallets regardless
Like I said, Namco and NRS would probably be among the first to have the worst practices were Tekken 8 and MK12 to go free-to-play. I mean fuck's sake we've just recently had Bamco unironically sell an essential feature like frame data for 5$, and also NRS redesigning the Krypt that hurt it in the short-to-mid term
That's not to mention the complete eradication of unlockable cosmetics if every game in the genre goes full DOA
and despite the 10 millon downloads for DOA5 Core that was reported 5 years ago, we don't have the statistics of player retention, even if a couple of whales stayed no mater what and continued to goggle up new waifu clothing
does that make my stance clearer?

I'm not opposed to F2P as a concept
I just don't trust the modern games industry to do the model correctly without squeezing every single dollar out of you

Yeah sorry but I don't want this genre to turn into a barbie dress up simulator with every game having 1000s of costumes

F2P may be the future of fighting games (as it removes the massive investment barrier of 60$ for titles that die out within months or even weeks) however I don't trust any current FG devs with doing that business model justice and they will just fuck it up with either completely braindead microtransactions schemes that drive you towards opening your wallet, or nickle and dime you at every corner for most basic features and modes
*maybe* I could see NRS doing a Mortal Kombat 13 F2P (but then again why would they, their games sell millions as is) just because of the publisher backing
Capcom, ArcSys, Namco, Koei Tecmo don't really have any success stories with this business model
Sega sent out Virtua Fighter to die (even despite the supposedly 10+ million downloads), VF6 could be years away or not happening at all
everybody else is too small so they need to actually sell their original titles to make any kind of profit
Project L obviously will lead the charge thanks to the financial security Riot Games have because of the massive playerbase and income from League as well as being owned by Tencent
but that's about it

I think the target audience for it usually prefers it to be wired, because it's one less vector for causing input lag.

The pad being wired is a massive turn off

The technical reason is that it makes easy to read the different attacks made by the opponent.
The thing is that while is understandable, they fuck up the presentation.
Other games also do something similar, but manage to do it in a way that doesn't look horrible.
Is specially terrible when like i mentioned before, they add the generic parts to charavters that usually have some form of wardrobe over their limps, like Kolin, Cammy, Falke for example.
They look putrid, lol.
