Tekken's just a classic. It looks pretty amazing and it looks like the best fighting game this generation in my opinion.

Classic MK is easily the greatest figheter ever but mixed with DC and missing fatalities it will suck. Tekken is the second best fighter IMO and it will be the best fighter this gen unless Tekken 7 makes its way before the gen ends

Tekken 6 Hands Down!

MK is running on empty and hasn't been great in a LONG time.

Soul Calibur is good, but Tekken is where my heart is.


I think the closest combatant to Tekken is Street Fighter and although that game will be great, I will always know Tekken as the deep, strong-rostered fighting game.


Of course, this is all my opinion, but that's how I feel about Tekken. Cant Wait!

Obviously, if the TC added "Street Fighter IV" I'm pretty sure it was gonna be 40% SF 40% Tekken and then 10% each Soul calibur and MK.

I'd go for Street Fighter IV though.

Well that's why he has "other".

Tekken is still a strong game, and I think it's unmatched, however I am very eager to try out SF IV because it's a game that's sure to meet nostalgic expectations while revolutionizing the series at the same time

You know, experts make careful decisions when making polls or that sort of stuff.

I'm not saying the TC has to act like an expert, I'm just saying that putting "Other" and not including SF IV will result in an inaccurate poll.

I think we're not up there yet... we'll have to wait more time for the "great new" fighting game.. maybe a Tekken 7... Tekken 6 looks good and all, but it's been made for some time now, i've seen arcade footage for a year now... it ain't really new...

Think about how bad the first PSone games looked the first years of the Playstation.. and how good they looked at the end... i think in 2,3..or 4 years we'll get a great fighting game ground breaking visuals... one that breaks the format and scores a near perfect score... fighting games need something new...I love 'em.. but it aint that fresh anymore...

IMHO, MK started sucking after it went 3d... having said that, I really like a lot fighters out there and definitely both Tekken and SC rank pretty high on my list.

Actually, I'm kinda obssessed with SC4 right now, and it'll probably change when Tekken 6 comes out, SFIV etc, etc... oh! and I think I'll skip MK vs DC (lamest thing evaaaaaaaaaah!!)

Tekken is a classic fighting series and hardly fails to disappoint

DC vs. MK looks odd

My friend is the main tester for MK vs DC and he assures me it will be better than what people think. If we talking about fighting games period its MK series or Killer Instinct for me, if we talking about this gen so far as today I would say DOA or SC 4, as far as the future for this gen IDK maybe Street Fight 4 or Marvel vs Capcom 3 since it's rumored to drop this gen.

Killer instinct would be nice even a remake of the first.....

I have been playing Tekken and Soul Caliber ( Soul Blade- Ps1) since both series started....so im partial to both.

People have been begging for a Killer Instinct sequel or remake for MS arcade or PSN forever, I think it was made buy rare IDK, and I know MS bought them so maybe MS can convince them to make one.

I like Tekken more than any of the listed fighting series, but I mean, It's not like any of us has played Tekken 6 yet, so it's really just a guessing game right now. On a random note, I don't see the appeal from Mortal Kombat games.

Personally I prefer Street Fighter, but of the listed above options I consider Tekken 6 will do the best as it's popularity in Arcades has been booming since Japan release.

I'm going for Soul Calibur 4 Since I have no soul and there are many, many attractive hot female women.
Passing on the other two as I've already loathed playing face to face punch and kick games since mortal kombat on PS.

The MK series has been utter crap from 3 onward, so I rule that out on principle.

I love Tekken, but it always has HUGE balance issues with its characters. Some guys are useless and others are ridiculously good.

Soul Calibur gets my vote just for being more well-balanced than Tekken, plus it relies more on strategy and timing than "OMFG 10-hit combo! you're dead" mechanics. Don't get me wrong...I still LOVE Tekken.

I think VF and SF should have been options on this poll too...but screw DoA. It's like a dumbed-down, poor man's Virtua Fighter and I'm glad you didn't mention it.

I'm a fighting game junkie. I honestly will more than likely buy all of em cept SCIV. Cuz I already own it. But SFIV has garnered the most attention from me and is at the top of my fighting genre list. KILLER INSTINCT FTW!

Tekken is a 1st class fighting game and Tekken 6 will be the best figter ever when available on PS3. SC4 didn't do anything for me and I'm not gonna touch MKvsDC, I am a huge MK fan but the DC combination just ruined the game for me.

i always liked the MK series, they are also classics, but the mix with DC make me have bad thought about the gameStealthKnife

I personally think MK went downhill ever since they made it 3d
It was best as a 2d fighter but oh well..
and MK vs DC the gameplay looks similar to Armageddon and that was pretty bad but ye...
I like Tekken the most and personally feel its a quality fighter
