Best Fighting Game Series EVER

I think Tekken by far. Has the most creativity and the characters actually have stories.

BUY TEKKEN 6 FOR PS3!

No smash brothers?

No Guilty Gear or Super Smash Brothers. (Stomps out of thread)

I have to go with Street Fighter,

Lack of Smash Bros is pretty sad.

what genre is it then? just cause it isn't traditional arcade doesn't mean it's not a fighter

[QUOTE="megapikachu101"]

No smash brothers?

GreenGoblin2099

Not a fighter.

Gamespot, IGN, Gamerankings, Gametrailers and several other proffesional and respected publications including the developers beg to differ, because they all classify it as a fighting game.

Indeed.

Street fighter of course. If arc can give us more blazblue then that would be up there as well. GG and blazblue are awesome games.

Longcat2

Not a fighter.

Provide reasons.

Ok, here's my thoughts:

While in SB you get to fight other character/players, it changes the traditional formula too much with the option of more than 2 fighters on screen, whereas traditional fighting games are 1 on 1.

I even seem to remember it was labeled as a "brawler" at some point.

[QUOTE="GreenGoblin2099"]

[QUOTE="unknown37"]Its not an arcade style fighting game, in a different genre Anyways Fatal Furyweb966

Indeed.

And its this difference that makes the Smash Bros series so popular. Rather then use the redundant and generic formula that virtually every fighter uses, Smash Bros dares to be different.

Where is SSb on the list???

Too bad smash brothers wasn't at EVO, not just this year but every event in the past.

I like the VS games, can't wait for Tatsunoko VS Capcom to come out in the US (when is that supposed to come out anyway)?

I'd also like to see what Aksys does with BlazBlue.

In SSB you can fight 1vs1 on a flat plane, but since you have the options to do so much more it's not a fighter?

Right, well you can have fun playing your typical generic button-mashing fest fighting games whilst I play good ol Smash Bros.

I dont know why everyone always trys to turn these threads into "brawl vs all" thread. Its not the same type of game. I fight in Halo, does that make it a fighting game?unknown37

*facepalm* how hard is it to admit that smash bros is a fighting series?

Well, now that I think about it... wasn't there a GG with this option as well??

But to answer your question... no lol :P

In Smash Bros the main premise is figthing, therefore it is a fighting game. In Halo the main premise is shooting in the first person, therefore it is an FPS. I could just as well ask that since you shoot things in Smash Bros (super scope, ray gun, projectiles etc) does that make it a shooting game?

You haven't even provided any reasons as to why its not a fighting series.

yeah it is TOTALY NOT a fighting game at all

Not a fighter.

Why on earth is mortal kombat a contender in all of these lists? There was only ONE good mortal kombat game that was actually a good fighter, all the rest were just cheesy horrible gimmicky bloodfests

Smash Bros.: It isn't a fighting game because it isn't. (And because it would win in all of these threads.) ;)

Try harder, guys.

victormgs777

Tekken because story and game-play, I believe its the most enjoyable fighter to play

Tekken. Street Fighter is way too simplistic. I expect more out of my fighting games nowadays. And I hate all of these Super Smash Bros. fanboys. Sure it's a fun game and all, but it is not deep in anyway. And playing the game on a flat plain with all items disable is NOT the way to play it. The fun in the game comes from the varied environments and item strategies, not using one cheesy strategy the entire fight.
