Poll: Best fighting game series

[JonelethIrenicus]

Guilty Gear. I love the quirks that each character has and that they all have weapons that most people wouldn't think of.

 

[neuromasser]

Tekken.

Obviously.

This.

 

[compensating]

My vote goes to Super Smash Bros.

This series of fighting games is unique and original. Aside from the premise of taking popular franchise characters and making them fight is the winning conditions. Depleting your opponents health bar isn't the goal. You build up your opponents damage until you can knock them off the stage and stop them from getting back. This concept mixed with rolls, spot dodges, differing character weights and fall speeds, four player battles and easy controls creates a game that is easy to pick up yet still very deep and difficult to master. Combos are completely dependent on situation and one string of the same button presses cannot guarantee a combo or a victory.

I also play Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive, and Guilty Gear series. However the greatest single fighting game ever created would have to be...

Eternal Champions: Challenge from the dark side

Look it up if you don't know.

welcome to thee escapist

But if I may ask what are you compensating for hmm

I'm compensating for failure.

 

[irrelevantnugget]

Guilty Gear, all the way.

Tekken, were else can you fight as a panda or a small dinosaur with boxing gloves?

 

[WiwuX]

It pisses me off to an extent that Mortal Kombat is beating Virtua Fighter and KoF.

 

[PureChaos]

SSB, though MK was a close second. in SSB, not only is it great to be able to smash Peach's face in but the controls are much simpler, especially not having to remember long sequences of button combinations for special moves.

 

[DM.]

Hmm, It's either Soul Calibur or SSB.

Gonna have to go with SSB because with every extension of the series, Siegfried looks more like a german woman.

 

[tenlong]

what about samurai showdown. its good . i like the fact that pretty much everything is blockable.

 

[Christemo]

DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi. its awesome.

 

[Lord_Jaroh]

I would have said Soul Calibur, but it has gotten worse with its last two games, where as Street Fighter is on track to being better than ever with its IVth release.

 

[Da_Schwartz]

Powerstone 2 was amazing. It really needs a sequel. Each round had 4 fighters on screen and was manic.

LOVED powerstone. Shame it didn't get much from many other people. It indeed deserves a remake or sequel. Love me some tekken though

 

[Samurai Goomba]

King of Fighters. Soul Caliber's story got boring and stupid by SC2, Tekken is good but not spectacular, Virtua Fighter is great but too complex for me, Street Fighter is KoF without any features (like running, rolling or any of the other gameplay mechanics KoF have introduced throughout the years) and Mortal Kombat supposedly hasn't been good for a long time (disregarding the pretty awesome Shaolin Monks.)

King of Fighters also has some of my favorite fighting game characters. Kyo, Heavy D, Heidern and K' are particularly cool.

 

[New Troll]

Guilty Gear

 

[bjj hero]

Did anyone else play Battle Arena Toshinden? It was released at the begining of the PSX about the same time as tekken.

I can remember it being really odd with strange special moves. I wonder what happened to the franchise?

 

[CNKFan]

MORTAAAAAAAAAAAAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
bitches

SF4 is my everything of late, it is ruining me. SC4 ran its course, a good 50 hours of nightmare's mythical owning capabilities. I love fighting games in general. When i was really young, it was mk time. Grew up a bit, then it was Virtua Fighters times to shine. Tekken had its day of course. Then The tales of souls and swords got my attention. Now Though Street Fighter is dominating every waking moment. I'm on it now, Im typing this inbetween rounds
