I'm going to say Dead or Alive for it's insane technicality flashy combos and special moves, and the absence of super moves like fireballs and whatnot. All the characters handle with distinct styles, and are generally well balanced.

i find the lack of Guilty Gear bothersome as well as BlazBlue (since theyer pretty much the same thing in sprit)

how ever, the fact Bloody Roar is on there makes me smile, since while not the best ive played (3 being the last GOOD one i played) it's a guilty pleasure fighter, a button masher to be sure, but where else can you beat some ones ass a bunny XD


^ and this guy excels at the wrecking of shit

As much as I love SoulCalibur, I would go for Street Fighter, as it is the very first fighting game I've ever played in my life.

I dunno, I like Soul Calibur (or used to) because of the close-up, brutal weapon-fighting with knights and martial artists, but I think if I played Guilty Gear or BlazBlue those would probably be my favourite. Smash Bros. should be up there too, although it isn't a proper fighting game it is pretty good, I rather like it.

Bloody Roar is kind of fun, as a series, but I've never ever liked Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter. Too little variation, too much emphasis on "balance" rather than fun, and the characters just being boring. Then again, they were the early ones, but I'm annoyed they didn't evolve in any way since they first came out.

Oh yeah, DBZ was a fun fighting game as well, since in all of them you have the option to BLOW UP THE WORLD and then keep on fighting. Although it is difficult to persuade your opponent not to do so for shits and giggles.

Hah, I bet no one's said this:

Touhou 12.3 Hisoutensoku.

Fast paced 2D fighter. Really easy to learn and has several unique features such as Grazing (dashing through enemy projectiles harmlessly) make it my favourite fighting game.

Tekken. I played 3 when I was pretty young, so there's always been that pinch of nostalgia with it.
Never really liked it past 4 though. 4 had amazing arenas. The mall and the car park and that roof one... wish I could find that game again...

I'm not sure how much better the gameplay is compared to the others though, never played 'em. I'm pretty sure they all involve sticking to one guy and learning all their moves.

BlazBlue Calamity Trigger and BlazBlue Continuum Shift are easily the best two I've ever played.
I have to agree with this. Though i havent played Continuum shift yet... But if it is half as good as Calamity Trigger...Heck it will still be a good game. And i like Vs games as much as i love Blazblue. I want my Marvel Vs. Capcom NOW!


I like Soul Calibur and Tekken but i mostly play that with friends that wants a variety on the roster and more characters. And i like Street fighter games to...But not my friends so it ends up with me playing all by myself.

Wanted to vote Virtua Fighter, but I haven't played the series since 3TB and my friend renting VF4 for a bit when he first got a PS2...

Wanted to vote Bloody Roar simply for BR: Primal Fury - I think I've played that fighting game more than any other in recent years...

Wanted to vote Soul Calibur since SCII is a great, great fighter, and the first one was amazing on DC.

But Killer Instinct isn't on this list, so...had to put too many to choose from...

Tekken, love it. Also nice to see Bloody Roar getting a mention, brings back some memories. Oh and yeah, Mortal Kombat is cool too. Shame about the Vs. DC thing, eh?

VF I used to play a lot back in the day of VF4:Evo. I played mostly Akira and Aoi.

And I really wanted to like DoA. I really did. But for some reason, I just hated it. The system was actually incredibly simple to pick up, but for some reason, the counter system just didn't feel quite right. I think it's my Tekken pedigree messing with me. Just never got used to how good counters were.

I don't think I've ever tried blood roar. I should remedy that someday. Maybe. Time is a precious commodity right now.
VF4:Evo was the only VF I actually spent much time with too. I loved me some Lion and Sarah.. though that's pretty much par for the course as I always seem to enjoy the pokey annoying deceptive characters and, when available, the taekwondo users.

As much as I do enjoy DOA, I really do feel the way holds/counters were handled in the first game to be the best. True counters were done much like they are in other fighters, and not all characters had them, but the standard holds were just quick momentum shifts.. sort of a smack your hand or foot away instead of a grab and joint break. It made an already fast paced game even faster but the holds weren't as game flow interrupting.

Bloody Roar is a lot like Sega's Fighting Vipers, if you ever played that, except you build up a gauge and can turn into an anthropomorphic version of your character when it gets high enough. Very fast paced and string combo oriented, plus one of the earlier 3D fighters to make heavy use of walls (it may have been second only to Fighting Vipers in that regard). It's actually a surprisingly solid fighter. If you're going to check it out, I'd suggest going with the first one in the series as it pretty quickly devolved into a gimmick fest after that.

Going for MK, always been a player of that series more than any other and the new one finaly takes the hardcore direction with faster moves and more insane attacks.
