Have we ever had a good topic on fighting games?

I want to hear it now: Fave fighting games, characters, and
if you could possess any fighting game move, what would it
be?

GAMES: Street Fighter Alpha III, Capcom vs. SNK II, Marvel
vs. Capcom II, Guilty Gear X2 (UNDERRATED!!), Samurai
Showdown, Tekken Tag tournament

CHARACTERS:
Ryu
Sagat
Blanka
Guile
Kim
Terry
Geese
Rock
Haohmaru
Nakoruru
Hanzo
Jin (Tekken III style)
Heihachi
Yoshimitsu
Baek
King
Axl-Low
Venom (from GGear not Marvel)
Slayer
M.Bison (US version, the SFII version, not the pussyass
alpha version because why play as bison without A GODDAMN
PSYCHO CRUSHER?!)

ANY MOVE: If I were a fighting game character, this would be
my move catalog:
Hadoken (the Marvel VS. Capcom version), Geese's Reversals,
Psycho Crusher, Tiger Throat, Hunting Hawk, Teleport,

SUPER MOVE: Super Psycho Crusher

There was a Japanese game once called Violent Wind. Who'd-a
thunk it?

yeah, there's a lot of good fighting games in japan we've
never seen here. there were quite a few 16-bit dragonball z
fighting games over in japan that never made it here, mainly
because no one knew what dragonball was at the time.

actually, the reason why america doesnt' see many games is
that they don' meet their product sales bench.

in other words, crap. the only ones americans ever even hear
about are the ones whom ppl are die hard wanks for the
series.

i find most fighting games boring, but i like the super
smash brothers series and the power stone series. so i
guess i like the games where you get items.

i used to be a fan of tekken until 4 came out...

all the fighters have pretty much become sell outs.

KI was my fav fighting series.

I've really grown to Tekken 4... Didn't like the concept of
Tag much.

Guilty Gear XX is fantastic tho, just none of my mates seem
to click with it. Street Fighter Zero 3 is still the
greatest Fighter in the world.

My fav character is Cammy but only the Cammy from Super
SFII. Evil Cammy sucks.

I only ever, EVER play Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha
nowadays. I've played the entire series to death and that
one is my favourite by far. Shame about the sequel...

handoverthecart - i ALSO enjoy Super Smash Bros. It's easy
to pick up but deep and has lotsof replay value. it's oe of
the only fighters on gamecube.... :-D

revpersona - fuck yeah new samurai showdown! can't wait! did
you ever play the samurai showdown RPG?

nanotech - yes, tekken 4 disappointed me. but i have to say
that steve was a good character! and i can't believe i
forgot KillerInstinct! that game was fantastic. fulgore and
tusk were my faves there.

Chri5py - GUILTY GEAR XX like a mothafucka! Props for the
SFAIII ref. Definitely one of, if not THE greatest 2d
fighter ever.

Dolleater - Great taste! Yeah, MK just went downhill after
MKII. Bloody Roar is good, but they need to start making the
engine deeper to keep it fresh. And STREETS OF RAGE OMG!!! I
rocked that shit back in my Genesis days.. I'm actually
playing Streets of Rage II right now. Blaze and Axel whoop
some ass.

i think someone should make a jerry springer fighting game.
think about it! you could play as a midget, a pimp, a
redneck, and have hidden characters like jerry or a security
guard

I've NEVER liked fighting games... although I used to be a
pro at Street Fighter 2 Turbo/Super/Champion Edition and the
first two Mortal Kombats! After that, I just stopped playing
them altogether. I played Guilty Gear a year ago or
something and it wasn't bad, but that's not my thing
anymore.

I DO love side scrolling beat-em-ups though... the Streets
of Rage series, Final Fight, Double Dragon... I could play
them all day. Brawl Brothers on the SNES is a personal
favorite.

Neo Geo has some great head to headers that I played a few
times just for the ART. Samurai Showdown, Last Blade, King
of Fighters, etc. I love the 2D style. Good to hear SS is
staying 2D!

you should sentenced to four years in prison for mentioning
clay fighter. uurrrggghh!! pretty bad. not as bad as SHAQ-FU
though. If you haven't heard of it, then you're blessed.

River City Ransom is also a great beat-em-up.

Here's a good fighting fact: The first SF game, Fighting
Street, was actually developed by the people who would later
leave capcom and found SNK. and for years afterwards the
companies fought for arcade supremacy!!

Key_Secret: Fighting Street was the first Street Fighter
game.

AphexAcid: i never was able to get into the other virtua
fighters, because i didn't have a saturn. but i did enjoy
VF4 though. they released a $20 upgrade for it by the way
though, with two new characters.

Yes, I've heard about the upgrade. I must get have it.
Hopefully Sega will release it in Europe, or USA.

I think it was called "Street Fighter" when I played it. but
perhaps you're talking about the arcade version? (or I
remember wrong)

Thrill Kill's a good laugh... EA banned it so they released
Wu-Tang Taste the Pain with the same engine but it was

The first game in the Street Fighter series was awful, more
of a historic signifigance than anything! Ryu wore weird
shoes or something.

And Ballz was definitely awful.

Did anyone here ever play a Genesis/Megadrive fighter by the
name of "Eternal Champions?"

that game was fucking sweet. and the final boss was very
challenging.

Two games I do not remember being mentioned in this thread:

Brutal

and

Body Blows

I think thoose are the correct titles,
bouth games were released on bouth
amiga + pc and some consoles (I think they were ported to
some consoles).

YES! That game was/is great! The big black guy in the
jumpsuit, the wizard that turned you to gold, the ninja
girl, the gangster with the rope, the dead vampire with the
hole in his chest... man, memmmmmorrrieees. Really
underrated! There's an even better Eternal Champions game
for Sega CD, but I think about 4 people in the world have
ever played it, I haven't.

Most "realistic" fighting game - UFC

Most Fun and Mindless - One of the SF2 variants.

Best Oldschool - Mortal Kombat 2

Most Over the Top - Marvel Vs. Capcom 2

Best overall- Soul Calibur DC (Soon to be displaced by SC2
on the GC I imagine...)

2d fighting fans- get a DC! So many recent ones for that...
Guilty Gear, SF3, The definitive Vampire Saviour, etc.

Ophecks- apparently the fatalities in the mega cd eternal
champions were really nasty and there was nothing
funny about them (unlike the Mortal Kombat ones which were
always a bit of a joke...)

Key Secret- You're right, I had Ultimate Body Blows on the
PC... It also came out on the ill fated CD-32 console.

Chri5py - Yep, cheers for sorting me out with that :) Not
played it in a while as I don't have a psx anymore (I kept
the game though!) How's Bishi Bashi? We'll have to meet up
for a game, you've had it long enough ;)
