Best Fighting Game Ever

Fighting

I agree about SSB and SSBM.
 
Let's see, I could talk all day about this. Having played everything from Street Fighter 1 (yes the original before the one on the SNES), to SSBM, there are a lot of good points about each fighting game series.

Street Fighter for me, is classic and one of the best series. Mainly, these games are about knowing the combos (well, this is true for most fighting games, but especially so for SF), especially when it comes to Super Combos. Best of the series for me, has to be Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Mortal Kombat. It was the big rival to Street Fighter back in the day, but now it's somewhat less popular. Nevertheless, it's still a favourite of mine. They can make it bloodier, gorier and simple as possible. Overall, MK series is easy to pick up, just as easy to master. It's good for fighting game newbies but not much else, but still good for a laugh. Fave in the series has to be MK Trilogy.

Killer Instinct. Anyone remember this one? It's an old clone of MK really, just as simple and bloody, but still lots of fun.

DOA. I've only played a DOA game once, and quite frankly, I think the series sucks. The combo system seems to be more about button bashing than anything (one of the reasons why I've gone off Tekken).

Tekken: Tekken 1, yes! Tekken 2, yes! Tekken 3 and onwards, why? They changed the entire game engine between 2 and 3, making it easier for the newbie button basher to come in, pick up someone cheap like Eddie, and just bash the buttons and win. It's far too easy to link combos with Eddie and similar characters (Hwoarang is another one). For me, Tekken 2 is the best in the series, and any after that just should not exist.

Soul Blade/Calibur: Called Soul Edge in other countries, I first got into Soul Blade when I realised there was a weapon based fighting game (I had heard of the Toshinden series as well, but they quite frankly suck, I had a demo of one of the games). Then Soul Calibur came out, and they'd stuck my fave character from Tekken in there, Yoshimitsu. Tis a cracking series, especially after playing SC 2 with Link :-)

Super Smash Bros (Melee) - This is perhaps the most captivating fighting game I've ever played. With most fighting games, I get quickly bored (cos there's little to do after unlocking every character). With Melee especially, there's still tons to do, and the challenges will keep even the best gamer occupied for months on end. I know I've owned the game over a year now, and I'm only coming up to completing the game fully (current trophy total 286 out of 290). Also, it's a hail back to some of the best classic games from the NES era of Nintendo, and with me being a very old gamer, I can't resist the charm.

Anyway, this is just my coupla coins
 
By *my* standards, Soul Calibur II or SSB:M. I just loved Charade. He was ugly, but fun. And Ganondorf and the Ice Climbers are so cool (For IC, literally! lololol) *is shot*
 
Heheh I told her to. :P

Definitely SSBM and Soul Calibur II... GCN version. Why? LiNk! It was the highest selling outta the three, ya know? ;)

I remember when I picked up SSB on the N64. I didn't think it could get any better. Well I was wrong when SSBM came out many years later. Not only one of the best fighting games, but on my list, one of the best games eVeR.
 
melee (in my opinion) isn't really a fighting game... i suppose that's the closest game type that it would fit into. but unless you're playing in stamina mode, it's just... not really a fighter, what with all the items and stuff. don't get me wrong, i love that game, but i think that the best fighters that i've played are namco's 3D fighters; tekken and soul calibur. though i enjoy all of the capcom vs. and street fighter games.
 
Oh, I don't know about that. The concept of beating the snot out of some Russian punk seems immensely attractive to me. Besides, seeing my favorite game of the series (2) with updated graphics, costumes, and levels will be nice. Yes, I can be a cheap eye-candy nut at times.
 
definatly SSBM ive never been into fighting games but when i picked up SSBM i was hooked ive owned since its came out and im still playin it today

there is so much to collect in the game its awesome
 
You mean Kilik and Nightmare. Link is awesome and talim is retty good, but I jsut have to sya kilik and nightmare are best.

i agree with him though about teh best fighting games. i haven't really seen better.

(Mullet, check your PMs)

1st Place: Super Samsh Brothers: Melee - Its just almost more than aweasome! Handsome graphics, super jogability, cool moves, Nintendo Characters... Eveything That a Fan would like!

2nd Place: Soul Calibur 2 - Another very cool fightning game! Cool graphics, aweasome characters *coughGirlOnescough* (XD) and some cool styles of playing ^ ^

3rd Place: Super Smash Brothers - Its this game that started the Melee thingy. Its, certainly, one of the best games ever for Nintendo 64 ^ ^
 
1. Dead or Alive 3: Possibiliy the best fighting game I've ever played, given the graphics and the control. Very easy to get into. However, not always easy to win.

2. Virtua Fighter Series: Still one of my favs, probably because of it's exclusive release on one of my all-time favorite systems, the Sega Saturn. However, it had me hooked for a while, and I thought it was far more fun than the Street Fighter or Mortal Combat series.

3. I tend not to define Super Smash Brothers Melee as a fighting game, probably because of it's unortodox approach to the genre. However, it's in my top ten greatest games list simply for its difference and fast-pace.
 
I have three favorites. Um, I kind of like this game, DOA, I guess it's called. i'm not good at it, but, I guess it's pretty good. I think Super Smash Bros. Melee is the best though. I'm pretty good at it. It's fun, and easy to play. Oh, gosh, I'm looking forward to playing my neighbors when i go to Maryland. U, the last is the original SSB, for the same reasons. I haven't played many games, and those are the few I have played.
 
Soul Caliber 2. They should start an anime on it. ALthough INuYasha in my opinion resembles it...what I;ve seen of InuYasha so far resembles it (Jewel shards=shards of Soul blade).
