King of Fighters became my favorite series because of the depth of story compared to Street Fighter back then. Speaking of SF, let's remember when SFV launched without a story mode. BRUTAL.
Mortal Kombat isn't part of the cultural osmosis because of the gore and the catchphrases. It's in there because of the characters and story so yeah it does matter. It's not the most important thing but if you aren't resonating with the story and characters, you won't have any interest playing. It's why I'll never get into Guilty Gear or Tekken, the characters and story don't move me but I'm passionate about the story and characters of MK and Soul Calibur.
I'm not sure if it is necessary but a story mode is a fantastic opportunity to teach beginners how to play the game. Why not include it and hit two birds with one stone?
100. i got into Sf series because of the comics . I hated 4. id say charcaters more over story but regardles point stands. to further prove it. VF bigets weaknes why not on Soul cla and tekken level is its chars are bland and generic .story ima gona asumme even more so.
Story matters. It is secondary, but it explains character evolution.

MK's story mode is the main reason it was my go-to FG for as long as it was.
It does matter if you care about the characters as characters and not functions by what they can offer in a fight
from someone who loves the Lore of fighting games, of course the story mode counts.
I wouldn't love blazblue as much as i do if they didnt make me care for ragna like they did on story mode bro
