Hi,
I'll probably cover Fighting games in some depth. I am no expert at them, but you are correct about them being more complex than people might expect.
Like I just finished saying to Shaun many of the concepts in Street Fighter and other Fighting games could apply to audio and yet is holy ignored by blind developers. Regardless if we are talking about a side-scroller, an FPS action adventure, some of those things like making a certain swoosh or grunt when a kick or punch is coming will allow us to make split judgments on weather to block the attack, to avoid it, and to figure out which attack might do the most damage at the moment.
Plus being able to smoothly move from an uppercut, to a jab, to a cross, to a snap kick, etc would help too. Far too many accessible games are no more complex than press space to fire which is not always desirable if the main character needs to perform different attacks and blocks in rapid succession. I'd like to see more ability to switch tactics and/or moves depending on the enemy's own attack.

I would love a document like that... and would be glad to contribute as much as I could. I know most if not everything you mentioned, but I know there are plenty of people who aren't as fortunate as you, me and whoever else is well-informed about mainstream games... I'm curious though, would you work in fighting games there somewhere? You know that's probably the genre I think is the genre that is one of the deepest. Not that it is, just that it can be one of the most untapped genres especially in audio games. I'd love to hear what you have to say on shooters though.
