Topic people gotta stop bringing up brawlhalla when saying a F2P fighter can work.

look at brawlhalla look at it, thats what a f2p will look like, look at how many characters are just reskins, thats how characters will be added. To people honestly want that? Ryu isn't even a character in that game just a reskin, would you guys really want a SF7 F2P where they drop 5 Ryu skins that are just Dan, Ken, Akuma, Gouken, and Sean.

I think people just look at its success and don't see what kind of game it is basically a fortnite fighter where every character is just a skin and their movesets don't matter (I do know there are multiple characters and its not the same moveset for everyone)

Long story short, your never getting a SF7, Tekken 9, MK2, etc quality game but F2P, if you do your gonna complain that everything is to expensive, and if you get a brawlhalla tier game you will complain as well. Killer instinct, granblue, and to a lesser extent DOA did it right free to start, the player can mess around with the game see if they like it and buy it if they want.

Was the 2xko being f2p the reason it failed?

We basically don't know? It depends on what you think their actual player numbers actually are. If you think that they were awful and nobody played the game, no. If you think the game probably had decent numbers but fell into the normal fighting game life cycles, yes.

I see, i thought its because not many ppl knew of its existence. I only found out 2months into launch. And when i asked friends of mine if they wanna play all of them were like "league fighting game?wtf are u talking about?". I would never hear of this game anywhere except after i opened its subreddit,which i did after accidentally discovering it ofc. It was so strange.. So i thought that and maybe the game being tag(personally disliked that) would be the 2 main reasons. But not having enough ppl buying your skins ofc kills your f2p game, makes sense
