What's YOUR favorite fighting game?

[Blacksand]

Now .. I've played nearly every fighting game ever, and I have my own favorites. I want to know some other people's favorites.

[ilia]

Oni !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sry for spam. I am just in love with that game since of almost 4 years ago. I still play it. :)

Perfection at it's best.

[Blacksand]

Oni was garbage. It was a great concept, but not carried out very well.
Also, not what I'd exactly consider a fighting game. More of a beat 'em up.

Damn, just realized I left out the Soul Blade/Soul Calibre series.

[ilia]

Well, I might not be an expert @ fighting games, but for me Oni was perfect. It is still perfect now.

[The Fell Hand]

Yeah, scheisse i'd have voted soul calibre T_T...no offense ilia, but oni the perfect game? I think the magazine reviews were right on this one. It LOOKED cool...but upon release, it was clear that this game left much to be desired.

[Critta]

Yeah, shame you missed the greatest fighting game series out of the poll really. I might have voted otherwise :P

[Outrageous Cheek]

I don't play many fighting games...But I DID rent Soul Calibre 2 I loved it. I would say that...But iz not on tay list.

[Larsson7]

You just cant be the good ole Street Fighter series.

[00025]

I personally like the Guilty Gear series. Though one of the characters (Sol Badguy) is just plain cheap. I like it cause its fast-paced. I would put Street Fighter in a close second and virtua fighter in third.

Oh yeah, here's an Evolution 2004 clip between Daigo and Justin Wong. This is just amazing. I still cant believe Daigo did that. Street fighter Third Strike finals:
Daigo full parry (http://media.shoryuken.com/srk-daigo.zip)

[Abyss]

Best fighting game ever still is Soul Calibur (sequel to soul blade ps1) on the dreamcast. Pefection... http://dreamcast.ign.com/articles/069/069143p1.html

[Foree]

Oh man... I loved Soul Blade... and Soul Calibur even more...

Beating the crap of peepz using a 40 lbs 2-handed sword with one hand was awesome........................

[Outrageous Cheek]

Ivy was always my character...So hot ;)

[Outrageous Cheek]

Ivy was always my character...So hot ;)

"SUSTENANCE!"

[Captain Salazar Snowberry]

I voted Mortal Kombat, because Soul Calibur wasn't there. Soul Calibur is really the only fighting game that I've played.

[Fragman]

wtf no soul calibur i had to pick street fighter

[DrunkenUno]

Soul Caliber is amazing, but both MK and SF pwn all fighting games... I must go with MK.

[/<yle]

Street fighter, cuz its fking classic. Mortal Kombat dosent bring back nostolgic memories like SF does.

[Outrageous Cheek]

Yeah...About the only thing I remember about MK is playing at my cousins house as that Chieftain guy with the ax..And it was really gory lol.

Then my cousin would kick our asses at SF lol.

And Sould Calibre, I rented it and I would play against my bro, and I was practicing alot trying to master my character, then I would fight against my bro...And all he would do is button mash...but somehow he would beat me alot. lol...

Then I would get mad and we would have CRAZY fist/cat fights over the game hahahahah.

[CELTIC_2X]

KnightMare is the coolest fighting games charcter EVER, and i canni even vote 4 his game :boohoo:

[Fragman]

It isn’t one of the fighting game in all seriousness is there a mk fighting game tourney nope Mk is not at evo. http://www.evo2k.com/tournament/ this page proves that Mk isn’t one of the best for the simple reason that it’s not at the biggest fighting game tourney ever. mk is only played soully for the blood and gore the fighting engine is to broken.

[eXoRciSt]

I hate fighting games, where thres no plot or story, you just fight.

That is why soul caliber was so fkign great.

I voted MK, just becuase i played every one. :D

[Fragman]

street fighter has a plot and story you ever played the alpha series thats the best series of sf's.

[00025]

Fragman did you watch Evo2004? That was awesome. I borrowed the DVD from a friend. I learned a lot of moves just by watching it.I recommend watching the link I posted earlier. You wont believe your eyes.

[2biT]

Soul Blade.

[Quietus]

Soul Blade / Soul Calibur.

[Fragman]

how the guy won the sf3: ts was fucking amazing

[MVB]

Best fighting game ever

http://www.wishtrade.com/AZVideogames/CheatCode/N64/mace.jpg


PS -- You can't beat Street Fighter for classic best fighting game series ever. Look at games within the technology of their time, and tell me there's anything better than SF was.

[Blacksand]

OMG you did NOT put in Mace, MVB. Damn, I put in Timekillers as a lark and even then it's because I had totally forgotten about Soul Blade/Calibre.

Even then, there are so many other series to muck about with.
Rival Schools
Fighting Vipers
Bloody Roar..
Ect, ect... Mace was just a REALLY cheesy Soul Blade ripoff.

That being said, I always preferred the SNK fighting games to the Capcom ones - until the Capcom Vs. series. SNK games managed to innovate more, look and play much more smoothly, and were quite simply better balanced overall. I thought. That being said, my favorite fighting games of all time are:

Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Marvel vs. SNK 2
Tekken Tag
Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves - one of the, if not THE best fighting game of all time.

[Fragman]

ive never herd of mace

[DivinerSage]

I would have voted if Clay Fighters was on the list lol

What about yalls favorite characters in fighting games?

Mine are:
Fei Long (Street Fighter Series) 2nd is That one Akuma the Shin akuma or something.
Shang Tsung (Mortal Kombat Series, I mean come on hes every character in one)






BTW have they ever made like a Dragon Ball fighting game worth a shit at all. If it was 3D and played like the battles go on in the show man that would be so sweet. Ide Love to be Trunks, Picon, or Deborrah.

[Papa Smurf]

No No you all have it wrong only Blacksand seem to be sane here how odd, the best fighting game ever was soul Caliber on the Dreamcast, it was fucking amazing wooooo hoooooo smooth as silk and it rux0r i was kick ass at it too kept my dreamcast while all around me binned their off purly for that game, sould blade before it was pretty good too, the new one soul caliber 2 is not quite as good as 1 but there you go, it is still pretty good.


SOUL CALIBER!

[Apocalypse]

Tell me, could anyone pull off Akuma's ridiculous special move? forget what it was called but it's the one where the screen whites out.

SF is the best, no argument.

[Blacksand]

The raging demon.

Yes, it is indeed an insane move, and I never could get it to come out right.
Morrigan's one I could get right, she literally screwed the opponent to death. Great stuff.

[Fragman]

i masterd the raging demon lp,lp,>,lk,hp we should start a kaillera div. http://kaillera.com/ i love playin mvsc alpha 3 and mark of the wolfs on that shit.

[MVB]

Mace's move transitions were immensely smoother than any of the soul blade's, where characters were too bouncy, and too quick-moving to move smoothly enough. It still had the "bounce-move-bounce-move-bounce-move" feel, whereas Mace had the "holy shit that's a genuine swordfight" feel. If Mace ripped off Soul Blade, they made it better.

[DJTheBaron]

street figher for the sheer amount of thumb pain caused by it over the years, even tho i dont own any of then, i like the soul caliber series, and have never liked teken tbh
