Currently SF4 but I can't wait for new KoFBlackendV

Currently it's Dead or Alive 4. It's got excellent graphics, a pretty cool soundtrack, interesting cast of characters, fantastic multi-tiered stages to fight on, and I love the fighting system with it's countering. Street Fighter IV is definitely a fantastic game as well and runs a very, very close second.

Virtua Fighter 5. In terms of content, its a big step back from VF4 Evolution (which is weird because Evo was only $20 and VF5 is $60) but the combat system is incredibly deep and the characters perfectly balanced.

There really isn't a debate here- Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix is the best fighting game ever. Barring rereleases, Street Fighter 4 wins.

More or less the exact same thing I was going to say. Well said.

DOA 4 1st and SF4 following behind for a close 2nd.

1) Virtua Fighter 5
2) Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
3) Street Fighter IV

Street Fighter 4. Before that it was DoA4

Street Fighter 4 because it's fairly easy to get the controls but really hard to master!

I'm sad to see you didn't include SSBB. That's my favorite fighter this gen.

Outside the genre. Does not qualify.DarkCatalyst

What about Super Smash Brothers doesn't make it a fighting game?

Street Fighter 4.

Street Fighter IV,loved that game except for the last boss....

All life be Killer Instict, but in this generation is Soul Calibur

SFIV is my favorite amongst those, but it's not my favorite current gen fighter.

Btw, it's Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Saying a game has to conform to the structure of another game is simply childish, otherwise, all games would be SFII derivatives, which would suck. People can try to say that Brawl isn't a fighter but overall, it just shows a futile attempt to push down anything that is different in a genre. Let's take an example in another genre. Fallout 3 is an RPG, Final Fantasy 7 is an RPG, and people might say that Fallout 3 is a WRPG and FF7 a JRPG, but they're both RPG's who, thankfully, are both different in the most basic form.

A conception of a genre doesn't state the construction of what follows except in the most rudimentary form. Indeed, there are games that are brawlers, but SSBB is not like any other brawler either, and doesn't resemble one in the slightest.

Ugh...not another "Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a fighting game!" debate again. This ALWAYS comes up whenever we talk about fighting games.

Anyway, my favorite is Street Fighter IV. Greatest thing to happen to fighters in a long time, IMO.

[QUOTE="DarkCatalyst"] It's all about the when and how. The fighting genre was born seperate with Street Fighter II. That is to say, Street Fighter II became the definition of the genre when it was made. It's as simple as that.ASK_Story

Soul Calibur 4 for me

SC4 and Mortal kombat vs DC

So because you have a crap load of options on how to play SSBB then it's not a fighting game? Damn, I thought for sure I was fighting enemies in that game.

Your argument for why it isn't a fighting game is just terrible, and ignorant. You don't have items by default, you don't have huge levels by default. You have options that you can choose to turn on whenever you want to to change gameplay around.

:lol:

If it walks like a duck, acts like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck. :P

Why did you put Tekken 6 here, when it isn't even released yet?

omg i just realised i havent played a fighter this gen yet... :shock:

Street Fighter IV. It was deffinately worth the wait.

Street Fighter HD remix and Street fighter 4 but the new Kof is going to blow them out the water and blazblue owns SF4 and will most likely own Kof

Not really into fighters but if i had to say it'd be Mortal kombat, always been a favorite since it's birth on the Sega Genesis.
