Dude I have been playing this game since launch and it rocks with its online mode and deep skill tactics involved with a non so clunky but yet fluid controls. SSBB is pretty fun, I also likes but it cant change my feelings for DOA. Anyone eles agree or dissagree that DOA4 is the best fighting game this gen so far?

SSBB is a beast of its own, DOA4 felt very complete i agree, whereas VF5 was a bit more barebones. SCIV on the other hand has been criticised enough as it is so i wont say anything. Fighters games havent been doing well this gen, or any other genre other than a few

dead or alive is a shallow button masher and has pretty much no fanbase compared to the bigboys tekken and street fighter :P

I still think Mortal Kombat has the best fighting games. I find it so satisfiying to brutaly beat my opponent and then finish him off with a nice gorey Fatality.

No. The only correct answer is Virtua Fighter 5. You may like DOA4 more but VF5 is the epitome of the 3D fighting genre.

Disagree with the fanbase part. All 4 have sold over a million DOA 4 is a 360 Launch game and sold over a million DOA 4 still has an active community on XBL THe other stuff i can't argue...i suck at fighters....but to say it has no fanbase i would disagree. Tekken and Street FIghter are just beasts in terms of sales for Fighters......

I dunno man, VF5 was decent, My brother has it on PS3 but the game felt cramped and real tight. Ill admit that I like the skill envolved but when it comes to DOA it just doesn't jam as much.

I understand that, isn't DOA the only fighting franchise on Xbox?(up to VF5 and upcomming tekken 6) but how often do you hear about DOA tournaments compared to Tekken/SF? how many arcades have DOA machines compared to tekken/SF? Its not just about console sales

wish I had something to say about virtua fighter series... anyone in Sweden with VF5 wanna invite me over? :]

Meh changed to much from Melee.. Melee had skill involved where-as Brawl went ass backwards from that. I still like Brawl tho but it didn't live up to my hype.

Brawl still requires a lot of skill. Brawl and Melee are still one of the few fighting games in which I cant beat an experienced player without a lot of luck by my side. Perfect example would be DOA. I have played the game on a couple of occasions. Yet I have beaten people who have put loads of hours into the game. Including a friend of mine who got to like the quarter finals of the Dutch WCG. Brawl however, I dont stand a chance.

DoA4 is the only fighting game I have this gen, and I don't like it really. So if it is the best I guess I should stay away from the other ones also.

I agree, even though the actual fighting is better in VF5, I find it hard to attach to any of the characters and there are not enough modes to keep you playing.

Technically speaking, DOA4 is the best fighting game by far this gen. The game was released in 2005 and still no fighting game has surpassed its online system which is pretty sad. With that said, I prefer the gameplay in VF5, SC4 and brawl but you still have to get give credit.

Yes, a LOT. DoA4 is miles better thanks to increased speed and there's a lot more juggles.

Also,I agree with the topic creator. No other fighter this gen has been able to hold my attention as long as DoA4 (been played it for about 3 years straight.

what does that have to do with what I said, I never said those games were exclusive, all I was saying is that all the fighting games I have bought this gen are all from PSN, simple as that.

I havent played the latest SC game, so I cant comment on that. But I have played very few fighting games that are bigger buttonmashers than the DOA games.

I played the SC4 demo and I own the first two. Reviewers say theres no major updates in gameplay and remains largely the same, except for the graphics and that new finisher and some other minor tweaks.

In my experience SC games are far and away the biggest button mashers. You can button mash on an easy difficulty, but it becomes a stuggle after that. And it really pays off to play properly and learn those moves combos and counters. I have really tried with the SC games but its not rewarding to learn how to play properly imo.

It could very well be true..

But that says more about how bad this gen has been for fighting games then how good DOA4 is..

It is an okay game but there are other fighting games that I rather played then Dead or Alive. I think Soul Calibur IV is a better game in my opinion because I rather have weapons combat than hand to hand combat. Dead or Alive really doesn't have any characters that appeal to me because most of them look to simialr to each other and the combat is really boring for me.

I agree with you, but you are going to get Flamed hardcore by the SSBB fanboys.

Also once SF4 hits, we will have a new best fighting game.
