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

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'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.

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'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.

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

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.

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

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 ;)
