I think you actually hit it on the head, those games you listed are probably actually in a shared universe, whereas the others aren’t. Its like final fight and Streetfighter actually being in the same world.

(By the way its utterly awesome to have somebody else who knows this crap around :D)

Well, I think part of it was also that forming three person teams around Fatal Fury and AoF were pretty easy and obvious (Although that doesn’t explain Kim *surname no longer available* and friends) compared to, say, World Heroes. Fatal Fury was also their signature fighting series for a while.

I’ve dabbled in fighters since I was pretty young (Which matched nicely with them becoming big in the arcade and mainstream), started getting a bit more into them in my late teens, and actually got fairly big into them (Mostly casual, though) in recent years.
