Favorite Fighting Game

[Who's the Boss?]

I love fighting games. Ever since the virtua fighter came out, fighting games have always been my favorite multiplayer game. You have 2D mortal kombat and street fighter which have never been in the same league as the 3d fighters in my opinion besides hilarious engrish on sf and gimmicky blood and fatalities in mortal kombat (Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is an exception, good solid 3d fighting game for two players)

you have the tekken series on the playstation consoles
virtua fighter which I'm just going to call sega's
and finally, the dead or alive series.

plus various other virtua fighter clones that came and went.

I own every dead or alive fighting game. Never was a fan of the tekken series apart from the hilariousness of having a character named panda who is a big panda. I have Mortal Kombat 2, 3, Deception and Armageddon. and I'm pulling out hair waiting for Virtua Fighter 5 on the 360.

I've always found the virtua fighter series to be a league above the competition in fighting games. The DOA series is great fun, but virtua fighter has always been perfect to me. The pace, the balance of character, and the new graphics in the 5th installment are even better than doa4 which has absolutely brilliant visuals.

Just curious to know what fighting series you guys prefer.

Mortal Kombat for Sega Genesis has always stood out. The way real people were digitized and recreated has made it the best looking Mortal Kombat game for me out of all of them. And, MK, although not being much of a fighting game fan myself, has been my favorite, probably because it got me when I was young.

[form]

def jam fight for ny

easy, probably one of my favorite games overall

[Who's the Boss?]

The original mortal kombat had a huge effect on me aswell, I remember when I first saw a fatality and I was like :eek: that dude just got his heart ripped out! I was pretty excited.

Tekken 3 is my favourite. The huge roster really was gun. I owned with Jin.

I think it's unwritten that DOA4 is the one which requires the most skill though.

I'll agree with DOA4 taking the most skill, but I've heard that VF5 requires more skill because of the balanced fighters and precise timing involved in executing moves.

yeah, That's probably my favorite fighting game as well

i like the tekken series and soul caliber/soul edge series.

[Kaleid]

Yie Ar Kung Fu. Though since no-one here will know what that is, I'll plump for Tekken 2. Tekken 3's speed made fast characters like Forest Law too hard to beat on Expert.
Ultimate Tekken character - Lee. Speed + flair = ftw

[MAthiAS]

street fighter 2 turbo and tekken 2/3 for sure.

[Kage]

Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter tbqh.

[heavy metal kid]

Killer Instinct, easily the best fighting game I've played.

King of Fighters 98 and 02 are good also.

[here comes the bird flu]

real life

[Meatplow]

Street Fighter 2, classic.

I loved the music from that. Makes me all nostalgic.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Super Smash Bros.


so much multiplayer fun to be had.

[Echleon]

My favourite fighters are.

DOA 3
Soul Calibur 2
Street Fighter 2 Turbo

[Zebra]

Ballz

[Darkness]

Soulblade for PS1. I'm invincible with Rock.

[Turkish]

Street Fighter Alpha 3, probably my favorite with Soul Calibur 2 close behind that.

tekken series.

[-Listy-]

pretty much the tekken series, tekken 2 was the first one I got and it was brilliant.

although I loved Street Fighter on the Amiga yeeears ago.

[MrConeman]

Street Fighter II Turbo on the snes is the greatest fighting game ever made. Period.

However I'm partial to Tekken and Mortal Kombat.

[Kif]

Street Fighter is overrated, probably because they released the same game like 10 times.

[AA-12]

If it counts, WWE: Smackdown vs. Raw 2007.

If not:

DBZ: Supersonic Warriors 2

UFC: Throwdown

MK: Armageddon

[Huber]

I'm a Tekken man myself. HWOARANG BITCHES

[Meatplow]

I have to agree Tekken is the sh*t for modern fighting games.

Dead Or Alive is crap.

[AA-12]

I hate Tekken :)

[2muchket!]

Street Fighter, Streets Of Rage and Super Smash Bros Melee

[DeckerDontPlay]

Super Smash Bros

[A Spoonful Supreme]

the guy who does the mortal combat voices lives near me

[Kage]

That's awesome.

[MrConeman]

Kombat*
but ya thats awesome

[lawlstorm]

not a huge fighting guy. so i like smash bros. followed by soul calibur

[Jude]

Never played too many of these, but the original One Must Fall was awesome for the longest time. It still is fun to bust out once in a while.

[Who's the Boss?]

Street Fighter, Streets Of Rage and Super Smash Bros Melee

high five for liking streets of rage, definitely in the beat em up genre though. :thumb:

[Kurrpt]

Soul Caliber really is better than all


most intuitive counter system that ISN'T broken (compared to DOA series)
extremely in-depth move system
best alternate fighting stances in a fight gaming
revolutionary 8 way run system
combos system is excellent, and doesnt reward you over and over for learning a 10 hit combo (like in tekken)

[bradc1988]

Old SF and MK, and I was a fan of the old Killer Instinct.

Little Fighter \m/

[Volumnius Flush]

I like MK:DA. Especially the 676 chests you have to open. I still like the old school Street Fighter for SNES.

Killer Instinct on Game Boy, awesome!

[Avalanche.]

Anybody remember Primal Rage?

[Kurrpt]

yea, but I wasn't a huge fan



i remember it looking cool when it came out. Eating the little people on the ground was fun

[Avalanche.]

I spent about 45 minutes trying to remember the name. I remember playing it when I was a little kid.

$500 on ebay, anyone wanna go halves?

[Kurrpt]

what game are you talking about?


oh, primal rage...


just buy a sega and make the cabinet yourself

[RetiredAt21]

My favorite fighting games: (in no particular order)

Samurai Shodown 4
King Of Fighters '98
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Garou: Mark Of The Wolves
Street Fighter 3: Double Impact
Last Blade 2

[tfel_kool]

Basically any game in the Marvel VS. franchise, I love tag team fighters so Marvel Vs. Capcom was incredibly good.

[Kurrpt]

marvel vs. capcom was by FAR the best

fukking Omega Red!!! come on now

[RetiredAt21]

SNK vs. Capcom is pretty good.

[tfel_kool]

SNK vs. Capcom was pretty good, but it would have been better with Tag Team, plus Mr. Karate was ****ing ridiculous in that game.

[SovietKid]

The entire Virtua Fighter and Smash Brothers series
Streetfighter

[tfel_kool]

Ah, Smash Brothers, I forgot about that, yep, that's my favorite by far, no doubt.

Nice list, SNK has great fighting games.

[Zebra]

I forgot about Streets of Rage 2.

The best multiplayer fighting game I've ever played.

[Kurrpt]

streets of rage is actually in a separate genre from fighting games, tbh

[Zebra]

I don't know that much about video games. :/

All I know is that you kicked the **** out of people throughout the whole game.

[RetiredAt21]

Nice list, SNK has great fighting games.

Agreed, SNK fighting games are mad underrated, though. :(

[funluvinhobo]

soul calibur 2 was sweet
