I'm sure you guys probably know something that I don't.
Would have really irritating balance issues. If one player could level up a character more than the other, then it would be the unfairest game.
That's not to say that Fighting games don't have story (though that's both a good and bad thing) or stats (cuz that's one of the main ways of making characters different from each other!). But because they exist almost soley under a PVP context, the traditional concept of grinding or a sweeping epic of a plot would be an ill fit.
RPG beat-em-ups on the other hand? Very common, pretty damn awesome.
