How is it a stretch? Seems to track for me.

So Avatar is a sequel to Titanic then? Having the same people working on two properties does not mean they're a sequel.

Yeah like you're allowed to think of it as a sequel in all but name but for the purposes of game history (or film history) it clearly isn't because if it were they'd get sued

Yeah it's not simply "two properties", like the SF "property" isn't just the plot and setting In terms of direction, format, game design ethos and dev team, Fatal Fury is the true successor because it's an upgrade to the original framework, not a wholesale outsider reinvention

And I have zero problems referring to it as a successor. But sequel is pretty much just plot and setting.

Yeah especially in games there's an enormous number of series where it's only the lore (or really just the aesthetic) linking one game to the next

Also, SF2 *is* more of a sequel to SF1 than Fatal Fury in probably the most important way, that SF2 is a game about one-on-one fights and not a scrolling beat em up

Like it's not really entirely fair to say SF2 invented the fighting game genre The fighting game genre existed, SF1 was an example of it, it was just a very primitive genre before SF2 (which is why Fatal Fury ended up abandoning it)
