yup, pretty much this. I also really couldn't give two s about story in fighting games, because it is a secondary feature to that genre. diversity of styles and quality gameplay is all that matters. afaic the more characters the better, the more different styles the more varied the experience which generally makes it more entertaining. Fighting the same 10 characters again over and over would get very boring very quickly, not to mention make it far easier to fall into spammy routines once you've worked out how to deal with the limited cast and their movesets.
