Best fighting game for the PS2?

I want to get a fighting game for the PS2 and Marvel vs Capcom 2 seems like the best choice, but I don't want to pay $100+ for it :?

i spent ridiculous amounts of time playing guilty gear XX

I think the best fighting game on the Ps2 is the SOUL CALIBUR 3, it's easy to play, very addictive. Though Tekken 5 get a very high score, but imo it is not as good as Soul calibur

2D: Street Fighter Alpha Anthology

3D: Tekken 5

I suggest taking note of all that was mentioned and look or get to try them. I'd suggest one but it might not meet your fancy.

Tekken Tag Tournament by a close margin. There are lots of great fighting games on the PS2.flowersjf

Agreed its still one of the best fighting games to date.

There are a few great ones for the PS2. Street Fighter Anniversary is a great one (a compialation of all the versions of SFII is awesome.) Mortal Kombat Deception is great one. And don't forget the Tekken series.

It's jsut a shame Marvel vs. Capcom is so expensive :(

Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution is the best fighting game ever made.

anything late tekken

Tekken 5 is the best fighting game:) Love the characters. Except the kangaroo and the bears of course;)

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.

One of my favorites is "Fight Night". The first, original one, not round 2 or 3 - I can't comment on those - but I HAVE spent a tremendous amount of time on the first game and I think it's one of the most skill-oriented fighters in a host of other good titles for the system like "Soul Calibur", which I also like a lot. But "Fight Night" felt different than other fighters, in that you had to pace yourself and pick your shots. Button mashing got you nowhere fast. "Marvel vs. Capcom" is over-rated when it comes to fighters, there are more than a few gamesI would choose to play over that one, simply in terms of fun-factor... when more than $100 enters into it, then... well...

:shock:

... Gimme a copy of "Soul-Cali" ANY time against that sort of fan-trumped-up pricing...

Thought about the Tekken Series yet? Tekken Tag tourney? 4? 5? You get the picture.

Tekken Tag

I'd say Tekken Tag and Tekken 5 are the best but avoid Tekken 4 I thought it was the worst in the series. Soulcalibur II is worth checking out.

Soul Calibur 3 has to be one of the best fighting games ever. Spent so much time on it.

And almost forgot to mention DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Its so good you dont even have to like the series to like this game.

Tekken Tag or Tekken 5

Get them. Get them now I tell you!!!

Tekken Tag Tournament is the best imo...

...Then Soul Calibur

Why was this bumped? Did anyone notice the dates? I'm going to assume in the last 2 years the TC has made a decision...

I have see this game for as low as $15 on Ebay. Ever since they released the HD version on PSN and Live, the value of this game has gone down significantly.

King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match is hands down the best fighting game I've played for the PS2.

soul caliber 2

It is a 3 way tie between Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution, Tekken Tag and Tekken 5. I am sure you can find all three super, super cheap, so why no try them all!

Dead or Alive 2

capcom vs snk 2 is always my favorite and is the greatest video game ever created by humans ain the history of video games
