Fighting games are not made in the same way as an action game, those games need to run at a specific framerate. You can develop a figting game to run at 120 FPS. But you need to keep those 120FPS at all times, or the timing of your attacks would be thrown off.
Now if you want to change the way that fighting games are being developed by everyone, i don't think that neither of us have the knowledge to really comment on the feasibility of unlocked framerate in fighting games.:D There must be a reason that everyone is using such a constrained way to deal with animation in that specific genre
Street Fighter 6 won't actually let you play matches at 120 frames per second but here's how to reduce input lag in the new beta (eventhubs.com)
This lock is because all the fighting games are doing the same (frame-based) engine than 30 years ago. See any lock on all other action games ?
The fighting games need to redo their engine but base their timings not a frame, but an absolute metric, ie a measure of real time.
In fact they could easily take their current engine and allow 120 and 240 FPS simply by adding a x2 and x4 in their engine timings.
From the old days .................that first boss in wileys castle frustrated me so much...........then die and start at the beginning..............
