mortal kombat went downhill after the original 3rd

Agree with the inclusion of Killer Instinct (nothing to do with nostalgia, performing a combo in that game 10 years after its release feels just as good as it did back then), of course I was happy to see Marvel VS Capcom 2 so high on that list because, seriously, that game is a dream come true to any Marvel and Capcom fanboy but stroke me as odd that they chose SF3 over SFA3. Haven't played SF3 myself, but I heard that SFA3 is more mainstream and people prefer it over SF3. Street Fighter Alpha 3 represents the pure esence of perfection in a game balancing technique with button mashing.

You mean UMK3.

3D Mortal Kombats sucked. Hard.

Oooooh I love Killer Instinct. Has to be the arcade though, not that SNES version. Great for it's time. I guess that's why I have it in my house as my JAMMA/MAME setup. I agree with you beautifulbeast -- still fun to play and pull off huge Ultras with Fulgore, and especially his machine gun ultimate. One of the main reasons I bought the N64 ("Available for your home in 1995, only on Nintendo Ultra 64!"-- too bad they never released it like they promised.

No, I think he means MK3 -- before they made it "Ultimate".

I never liked 3D Mortal Kombats either.

I've never played a Mortal Kombat before. I've never heard of the friendship move in the sequel. It looks hilarious.

Friendship ..... FRIENDSHIP ? !

Am I really the only fan of the Guilty Gear series here?
Seriously?

Well, at least they put it on the list I guess...

The list is alright for the most part, although I don't think putting 2D fighters and 3D fighters on the list was a good idea, they play a bit differently.

i agree that street fighter ii turbo was the best of the street fighters - loved it. and those days of kicking ass in MVC2 on the dreamcast were great.

i can't believe no one has mentioned Soul Calibur yet, i thought it was LEGENDARY for the dreamcast (best of the series IMO).

You put SF2T in front of MvC2?

That baffles me.

SF2Turbo was a great game, but IMO, it didn't hit me like MvC2 did.

i'm not fan of fighting games but Tekken 3 and MK2 & 3 are the ones if i want to play a fighting game.

and i like pixel art of KoF series, but since i donno their moves, i suck at them.

You could always look up a Move list.

Although my brother and I always used up our quarters to figure out moves.

I would take out DOA and SSBM from that list and put Garou: Mark of The Wolves and KOF98 in their places.. a list of the best fighting games without a SNK game is like a list of the best RPG games without a Square-enix game.. :/

SSBM is a fun game.. but I don't think it is that great.. and a totally different style, it's hard to compare it to "normal" fighting games..

 

[Mewgia]

SSBM should be higher up on that list. At least within the top 5.

Anyone that says otherwise is either an idiot or has never played the game. Or both.

A lot of people, myself included, don't consider SSBM to be a real fighter. I consider it in a genre of its own, a "party fighter" if you will. There are many games in this category, and I consider Super Smash Bros. Melee to be at the top of the list, but I wouldn't call it a true fighting game.

 

[sekhu]

take out ssbm as that's hardly what I'd call a proper fighting game. it has 0 depth

 

[Jei]

I agree with Marvel VS Capcom 2 being on the list... but there's other, better ones than those listed, like Soul Calibur 3 (I like it way better than the past ones), Street Fighter Zero 2, Melty Blood Act Cadenza, etc...

But wouldn't "party fighter" just be a subcategory of "fighter"? Thus placing SSBM within the boundaries needed to be on the list of the best fighting games? : D
