spineapple tea Posted September 21, 2019 Sounds unoriginal but I love Mortal Kombat X 4 Share this post Link to post
Doominator2 Posted September 21, 2019 Killer Instinct and Street Fighter II are the ones I've played the most, so probably those. 3 Share this post Link to post
Mr. Freeze Posted September 21, 2019 MK3 and it's spinoffs (Trilogy, UMK3 etc) gave me the most fun I've ever had with a fighting game. 7 Share this post Link to post
yakfak Posted September 21, 2019 im terrible at these games loved tekken 3, cool characters and too early for that endless wall-juggling system to have kicked in street fighter is the main series i watch other people play; people say it's skill-less or whatever but you always see the same people in the top 8s and top 24s so it's probably just bitter people chatting darkstalkers is sexiest =P im not an action game player at all, precision is nothing like what i want out of gaming lol 1 Share this post Link to post

Alper002 Posted September 21, 2019 I'm not that experienced in fighting games, but I guess puyo puyo(2) counts? It's a puzzle fighting game, so I personally think it does. 2 Share this post Link to post
Tango Posted September 21, 2019 I spent many many hours playing Super Smash Bros Melee competitively, so that game has a pretty special place in my heart and memories. otherwise, I really love a lot of the Street Fighter games, especially the Marvel crossover ones: Street Fighter Alpha 2/3 Street Fighter 3 - Second Impact Marvel Super Heroes X-Men vs Street Fighter Marvel vs Street Fighter Marvel vs Capcom 2 Street Fighter V 2 Share this post Link to post
qdash Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Neo Geo: Street Fighter Alpha 3 16bit: Mortal Kombat II 32bit: Tekken 3 128bit: Tekken 5 This time: Killer Instinct, probably. 1 Share this post Link to post

silentzorah Posted September 21, 2019 Soul Calibur 2. IMO, best in the series. 1 Share this post Link to post
TwinBeast Posted September 21, 2019 One Must Fall 2097. The tournament mode is great with the pilot and robot development. Maybe I like it because it's so simple and easy to learn game. Sure there are some special (and basic) moves that are easily exploited, at least against computer enemies. 1 Share this post Link to post
[McD] James Posted September 21, 2019 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1076550/SAMURAI_SHODOWN_V_SPECIAL/ This is the game that made me purchase a Razer Panthera EVO. I've been playing it religiously ever since I purchased it, and have had many excellent matches against the very best players in both North America and Europe. I dunno if it's my favorite fighting game of all time, but it's by far my favorite video game at the moment. KOF 98 and Street Fighter 4 are both also way up there. 3 Share this post Link to post
Dark Pulse Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Melty Blood. A game I was so devoted to that I was part of the unofficial translation team... which got fucked when it got officially licensed and translated... somewhat poorly. Considering the guys behind the unofficial translation also were behind the Fate/Stay Night fan translation, there probably should've been a little weight given to us. Alas. Anyway, here's a primer for those interested. It's made by the same guys who did Under Night In-Birth, for the record (as you may have recognized by seeing Sion in the video thumbnail, or as she's called in UNIB, "Eltnum"). It predates that, but it's gotten no less than five or so versions, including several in arcades. Edited September 21, 2019 by Dark Pulse 3 Share this post Link to post
[McD] James Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Melty Blood looks pretty good. I know a few people in the Samurai Shodown Discord who are really into it, though I recall hearing from someone that the netcode isn't very good. Netcode is extremely important to me when it comes to fighting games and I wish more developers would embrace rollback netcode over delay-based netcode. SSVSP's netcode from Code Mystics is easily the best I've ever experienced in a game, including GGPO. It's awesome that I can have 250 ping matches against players across Europe and have it feel no different from local play. I apologize for doing this, but I should have posted this introductory video in my previous post. 1 Share this post Link to post
BigBoy91 Posted September 21, 2019 UMK3, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Eternal Champions, Fighter's Destiny, etc etc.. Old school stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post
[McD] James Posted September 21, 2019 Eternal Champions is overdue for a modern-day reimagining. Clayfighter is as well, though a PC exclusive game was announced a few years ago. It looks like the project fell through though. 2 Share this post Link to post
Mk7_Centipede Posted September 21, 2019 Third Strike 100%. I enjoy playing as Ryu, Urien, Makoto, Ibuki, and Oro. I played a lot of guilty gear and mortal kombat, but this game was downright difficult to play and remains the deepest fighting game to ever grace the earth. Like Doom, I feel like it is ultimately a timeless game destined for eternity. 5 Share this post Link to post

The stock Melty netcode is so-so, but with Caster it's apparently quite solid. I never got into the whole competitive play side of things, so I can't really speak to that aspect of it. I enjoy it more because I'm a whore for Nasu's work. 6 minutes ago, Ajora said: Eternal Champions is overdue for a modern-day reimagining. That actually would be interesting to see. EC CD may well have the most violent fatalities of any 2D fighting game. For those of you who've not seen those... hoo boy. 2 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) I'll get very specific: Mortal Kombat: Deception. They integrated puzzle combat and chess combat. They stole more Killer Instinct fighters like Darius as Fulgore and well Lei Mae was already Kim Woo. They also had that big open world game. Sonya and Kano had a kid named Kira. Cage and Sonya had a kid named Kobra. Lots of forgotten UMK3 fighters were added. Fighters actually had fatalities and two of them instead of the previous game's one. The fatalities weren't particle effect displays like the previous game. Deception went full on female version of male characters, Frost is a femme Sub-Zero. Ashrah plays like a female Raiden. Zombie Liu Kang felt fresh. They had a bonus disc with a making of and a roster of all the past and present fighters with interviews from the actors. Then Mortal Kombat: Unchained made it better with 4 more characters... just a shame it was on PSP. Beyond that? UMK3 and MK2 were great and I prefer the Mortal Kombat series as a whole even if the low point was Armabeddon... because it had an overwhelming amount of characters from the start and poor create a fatality and create a fighter. You'd think both would be awesome, but no. It lacked wow factor. Edited September 22, 2019 by geo 2 Share this post Link to post

CyberDreams Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Mortal Kombat. Not sure which ones tbh. The old ones are classics but are damn hard. MK 3 added a ton of new features such as the run button, combo's ect but the Kombat Kodes is a weird feature that i didn't like. Also some of the console variants of 3 suck imo. I remember playing MK Trilogy on N64 years ago and it was bad. It could just be old memories or the fact that i sucked, who knows lol. The new ones seem like they would be fun though. I can't really say as i've only played MK 9 (2011) but i did enjoy it alot. I've been meaning to play MK: XL but i just haven't gotten around to it. It's already installed on my PC lol. I like brawlers more such as Streets of Rage, ect. The "odd" soundtrack to SOR 3 is also kickass. For Super Smash Bros. i've only really played the N64 one as i didn't have a GameCube (i chose a PS2 instead and GTA III was my first game for it back in early 2002). But i did love playing the original Smash Bros. a lot. Kirby was one of my fav characters. Don't know why lol. I have played Melee, just not a whole lot. I missed out on Nintendo from that era onward (up til current). EDIT: Soulcalibur on Dreamcast is fun and Killer Instinct on SNES is fun too (i know it's way better in arcades though).

Barry Burton Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) This thread seems familiar... anyhoo: Street Fighter 3rd Strike is probably my favorite, next to UMK3. Had a lot of great times playing Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom online with kaillera way back when too. I miss playing on kaillera. All Capcom fighters were set to free play, Turbo 2 and no flickering in the dipswitch options for Mame lol. 2 Share this post Link to post
