X-Men COTA is the base for Guilty Gear and the majority of air dashers, even though some games innovated mechanics first

Even if the fighting is purely fantasy, Capcom's fighting is animated with fighting principles in mind, like weight distribution and even correct form. Sure Sakura is a schoolgirl, but her standing FP has correct form for a punch. Even if a DS character transforms into a wrecking ball, the wrecking ball is animated to look like it has force behind it

A lot of air dashers are just characters..... doing things. Turn that into a full roster, of a full game, for an entire sub-genre, that dominated for a decade, while other fighting games were dormant unless you had access to hardcore tournaments somewhere in the world
