If you understand the DOA fighting mechanic, it's definately the best. It's super fluid and super fast. Mortal Kombat is good aswell but dosen't feel as complete as DOA. Tekken never really stood out. I've only played one Streetfighter game and it was kinda boring,. and also Virtua Fighter isn't in that list but i don't like VF anyways.

I really can't consider Street Fighter because it's been so long since we have seen a new game...

In my opinion it's Tekken >>>>>>>> DOA > VF >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mortal Kombat.

Soul Caliber 1 for the DC is the best fighting game ever made. Sorry all but that game was a masterpeice of gaming technology and gameplay. And to the guy who says that SSB takes no skill, when brawl comes out ill show you how much skill you are going to need so I dont kick your ass into oblivion every time you come online.

Evo disagrees.

Come back when you can play like this.

Also, aside from Smash, Guilty Gear is better than most of the fighting games listed outside of Street Fighter.

Tekken followed by DOA, Soul Caliber is also up there. Mortal Kombat used to be my second favorite but it sucked last generation. The only good one was the Shaolin Monks, if you would consider that a fighting game. I never got into Virtua Fighter cuz all my friends said it sucked. Super smash brother was fun but i wouldn't call it one of the best.

It'd be a toss up between Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur.  I'd probably go with Soul Calibur as it's still my favorite. Why wasn't VF & Killer Instinct included? :wink:

Soul Calibur>>Virtual Fighter>>>DoA>>>>>>Tekken>>>>>>>>>Mortal Komat>>>Super Smash Brothers>>>>>>>>>>Tobal>>>>Bloody Roar.

Other notibles.

Battle Arena Toshinden, Power Stone, Rival Schools, Fighters Megamix, Virtual On, Fighting Vipers.

Street Fighter is a 2D fighting game. Can't really compare it to the 3D fighters.

2D fighters and 3D fighters shouldn't be compared. They're played too differently.

old school mortal combat. shadow_lord_11


Man I could never stand Mortal Kombat. There were no flowing moves or animations just input a move and watch it as it as it is stiffly executed. It might just be me. I really never liked the game. Killer Instinct was where I got my blood and gore but I've always been a Street Fighter kinda guy.

First time a guy pulled an ultimate combo on me in an arcade I was like :?:shock::(

That's your opinion. It's very, very far from being fact. It's a decent fighting game, but the characters in the 1st one was very unbalanced. Mario and a couple other character were the only ones that were balanced. Others were either too weak or too strong. This is one of the reasons it far, far from being the best fighting game ever.

Old School Killer Instinct in the arcade was the greatest thing ever. Aside from the old Street Fighter/SNK Machines, that game got the most play. Hearing all the "ULTRA COMBOS!!!!!" all over the place was just awesome.

Mortal Kombat's best fighting game moment was MK2, which I will continue to say is one of the top fighters ever. Yes, ever other entries were garbage but MK2 was very well done plus it was one of the first to introduce air combos. Gotta give it that much credit.

When people say Smash Bros, they usually mean Melee, not the original. The original was never meant to be a deep game. Melee did lots in the way of balance as well as improving the game's depth and speed.

SSBM improved the balance dramatically..also whether you're calling it decent or best ever..it's all opinions.. .No such thing as fact when it comes down to preference..:|.

The announcer in that game was awesome

"Ready..."

"Fight on...."

"WINNER!"

"Supreme Victory."

"C C C C Combo Breaker!"

"Knock off! Knock off! Knock off!"

and my favorite...

"UTLRA COMBO!!!"

I played one match at my Beach house in an Arcade and this guy beasted the hell out of me then Orchid unzipps shows her breast and my character just dies...I was 9 years old playing that game and I was like wtf just happened.

That's really what it boils down to...

Namco has 2 great franchises out there. But it's like Microsoft in a way. MS has Windows gamers and Xbox gamers and they don't get along a lot of the time...Tekken and SC fans don't get along either but the fact is, Namco wins either way...

That 9.9 Tekken 3 got is really close. Considering the scoring standards for the Playstation could have been more stringent during that time...

Why people say SSMB when it's not in the que? Why is Mortal Kombat is even in the que? No VF? This poll is horrible. I voted Street Fighter of course, but why mortal combat? I much as I rag on SSBM, Mortal is the true craptastic fighter ever made. BTW, congratulation on SSBM being in the High arch of EVO this year. I wonder how many nintendo fanboys treathen EVO?

Soul Caliber 1 for Dreamcast was the G.O.A.T., but Tekkens are my favorite.  (Except Tekken 4.) Tekken 3 and 5 are also up there with the greatest of all time.

So my vote goes to....Tekken.

Tekken is too button mashy for my taste. I personally wouldn't call it the best fighting game ever, no matter how many 9s it received.

On a side note, I did enjoy Tekken 5.

Tekken isnt that button mashy for each character you have about 100 moves to learn.
