Whatever happen to beat em ups?

Lets start out with the debute of SSF AE 2012 trailer. I for one am a little excited about this. I am a avid player of the SF franchise. Yet, I have not touched the game since I attented Århus Fight Club a few month back. Appearently there has been many buff and nerfs as far as the eye can see, but why am I not 100 percent taking in? Although Capcom has said that they had balanced out the entire line-up, the players will still find a way to make 1 character out play the others. In there lastest reply in a blog at capcom unity.

There are hidden buffs and nerfs in SSF4 AE v2012. Bison's EX Psycho Crusher often whiffs from full screen ish distance. Headstomp trades a lot in the air.

Its gotten to the point where this game isn't about beating up the other, now it about who has the buffs and the play can make out and take advantage of. It's not just about the match-up and the  player skill like it use to be. Its the same thing in UMvC3 and others. Whatever happen to down and out fighting. Now we analyize the characters and combos so much the game (s) are starting to lose all meaning.

For those of you that are not a custom to the SF games or even UMvC3 stay with you BF or FPS. Try not to get invloved. It will only cause more headaches.
