Marurun is doing a good job pointing out some of the reasons why I stopped being a fan of the genre years ago.
I love beat 'em ups for the fact that they are generally simpler to play than 1 on 1 fighting games

I don't have any modern consoles, so SFxT is probably out.
I used to enjoy GGPO, so I'll have to explore Fightcade some. I have a metric crap-ton of older fighters on the Saturn and Dreamcast already, so many of the titles you mentioned are at least nominally familiar to me.
Still, it would be nice to see a modern fighter developed to not be combo-heavy, not rely on juggling, and not have any weird parry or cancel systems. It would all come down to knowing your move set: timing, reach, and priority.
