It’s got to serve both masters. It should be fun when you don’t know what you’re doing, that person should always lose to someone who does know what they’re doing, and becoming the person who knows what they’re doing should be fun, too. When you don’t know what you’re doing in DOA, you’re still kicking people off rooftops and down the steps of the Great Wall of China.
I have, and the last Mortal Kombat that had a problem with infinite combos was 15 years ago. There’s also a structure to MK combos that reduces your need to memorize anything.

Right, I’m sick of infinite combos. I can’t remember a 80 button press combo, and even if I could, I can’t get the timing down.
That’s neither here nor there, and it’s not much of a problem in the genre either.
You’ve never played the recent mortal Kombat games, have you?
