There's two kinds of fighting games. There are the games with an in depth explanation of the story, as found in cut scenes and very long info panels in special "character profile" menus. Then, there are games that only have a rough hint of what might be a story with NO explanation on what's going on, at all.
Soul Caliber 2 is of the former. I know exactly what's going on in that story.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 is the latter. I think there's some sort of orb and for some reason everyone was at peace on an airship at the end but I haven't the slightest idea what's going on or how I'm expected to figure it out. I understand King of Fighters is the same way, but somehow, some way, the fans have put together very intricate stories for the characters and slapped it all on Wikipedia.
So what's going on? Do they have some hidden document on their main web sites explaining all this stuff or what?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
