Was/can this game be developed using windows form?

I'm just wondering, I know it might sound stupid but I'm just too curious if a game like Super fighters deluxe can be made using windows forms. If not, what in SFD makes it not viable for windows form.

Short answer: no

Windows form is a part of the .Net libraries, the one that manages GUI (Graphical User Interface) and for this, in simple terms, you cannot do anything beyond creating an interface, but without making it really to work unless you trigger events on the GUI.

As you may know Superfighters Deluxe uses a custom built engine created with Xna by means of the Box2d libreries, it's not only a "mask" like windows forms, but an actual program.

With forms you can create a bridge between the program and the end user, but in a videogame this difference is dealt together the rendering system as one.

Yeah. We're only using windows forms for the map editor and through some creative process we render the graphics backbuffer to a picturebox on the form. We're also using other third-party libraries Lidgren.Network, NAudio and a Box2D .NET/XNA port.
