Best Fighting Games PS2 or Gamecube

Looking for a great fighting game for both systems, I already know about
smash bros and its greatness.

and go...

guilty gear, arcana heart, sf anniversery, sf alpha collection, tekken, soul cal, Capcom vs Snk 2 , and plenty of other goodies on ps2

Ps2 had more fighting games, so it takes the cake.

Completely spaced about Smash Brothers. So in terms of quantity, ps2, but in terms of quality, smash bros.

They both have MK: Deadly Alliance but I never was a fan of the Gamecube controllers, plus the PS2 has a boatload of fighting games overall.

I completely agree about Smash Brothers... I think the whole series is just about complete crap (I really dont see the appeal outside of some awesome characters to choose from). With that being said, I would easily go with the PS2 for fighting games. In fact the PS2 beats the GC in every single category imo. I do like the GC but it doesn't even hold a candle to the PS2 outside of a very small handfull of games.

Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore (PS2)

Loved the GUILTY GEAR series on PS2, specifically "XX Accent Core".

MK: Deadly Alliance,MK: Deception,MK:Armageddon

I've never played the PS2 versions of these games so I can't comment on how close to arcade perfect they are but:

SF: anniv collection(i.e. SF3:3s and SSFIIT )

Garou mark of the wolves

CvS2

GGX

DOA2

MvC2

and stuff on PS2 I have played

SCII and III

KoF:max impact

VF4:evo

That should def get you started, and remember on PS2 you can play awesome PS1 fighters. If you don't have a saturn or dreamcast, SFAIII comes to mind.

MK: Deadly Alliance,MK: Deception,MK:Armageddon

RaIn285

Mortal Kombat Deception and Soul Calibur 2 are amazing.

Soul Calibur 2 for GC, Tekken Tag Tournament for PS2.

I always have to say this before I recommend fighting games on older consoles: Unless you have friends who you can play the games with regularly, don't bother getting any fighting games.

Unless you consider Smash Bros. to be a fighting game, there's nothing on the GC that I can recommend. I guess you could get Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO, but you'll need a stick.

Here are some PS2 games you should check out:

Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection

Capcom vs. SNK 2

King of Fighters XI

Since the PS2 is backwards compatible with the PS1, I will also recommend Rival Schools.
