re: meta

Fighting games have this to the nth degree. Fighting games are split communities (really any game that is high skill ceiling) between those that have been playing seriously for years/decades and those who just play.

SF6 is coming out in 2023 and it will be "solved" within a month or two. Once top players get to a tournament and show strats, the entire meta evolves to the rest of the community.

Just like you cant get security through obscurity. A game can only fake depth when there isn't communication. The identification of top strategies is inevitable and rapid. But the experience of executing and being a top player is completely within the realm of design.

Devs want to fake depth, but players wont play fake games.
