Which one is the best and why? Which one is best: gameplay-wise, balance-wise, stage-wise, and features-wise?

Seriously, this is the third version of this thread I've seen you make. What kind of point are you after?

DOA4 across the board. It's the second game in the series to be developed from the ground up as a serious fighting game, and although it's still not in the class of the top-tier of 3D fighters (ie: VF, Tekken), the gameplay, balance, stage design, and features all benefit greatly from Itagaki's more enlightened perspective of the genre. Screw the fans - it's the players who determine how a fighting game is remembered (because a player can enter a match with a fan and completely ruin it for said fan if the game development quality is substandard).
