Now with the recent news of Virtual Fighter being a horrible game, DOA4 ramains the best fighting game for this generation but now for long... An!other Xbox360 jewel is coming very soon, Killer Instinct NEXT! Only for Xbox360. I simply don't understand why would you consider a PS3/Wii if you're a fighting game fanatic when the best of the best are only on X360. DOA4, with its lighting fast combos, deep battling systems, beautiful graphics and KilleR Instinct NEXT...its made by Rare so you know it will turn out to be an instant classic. There's just so much fighting games on its way to the X360 that its purely insane! Not to mention multiplatform games such as VF5 looks best on X360 because its much more powerful than the PS3 and don't mention the WII please, it has next-gen specs.

Only on gamespot, overall ratings still put VF5 over DOA4; and the 360 doesn't have Tekken and Soul Calibur.

1. Perhaps you activated the cognitive dissonance button with Gerstmann's review. He said it was a "great" fighting game. 2. Link for Killer Instinct NEXT? That'd be a pretty awful title, by the way. 3. DoA4 doesn't have a deep battling system. 4. Rare hasn't made an "instant classic" in years. Banjo-Kazooie 3 should be great though. 5. As for the Wii, everyone already knows it's getting the best fighter anyways.

I gotta agree there. My two favorite fighting games are still Soul Calibur III and Tekken 5, so the PS3 is my preferred console for fighters.

edit:  I agree with drago, that is...

Compare the scores with DOA4 buddy and for not reading the whole thing, why not? Is it too long for you? Should I shorten it so you have an easier time to read it?

No, I stopped right there because I knew that you obviously know nothing about the VF series & so anything you had to say beyond that was misinformed.

Dont' forget SFII and UMK to that list also, but KI will rule over all no doubt. Plus don't forget even if VF5 is a flop it's coming to 360 also.

If you like fighters that you can button mash and destroy somone who's ever played the game half the time.. then ya.. doa is great....

DOA is a joke among people who like fighters... all it is is something for XBox fanboys to use to "prove" xbox is the stronger console.... People who like fighters like.. good .. deep gameplay, not realistic breast physics and half the female cast in thongs.. (though, the first, most wouldent complain about).

VF 5 delivers on the complexity and deep fighting

Soul calibur delivers on the ease of play/ overall fun factor, while still maintaining a deep system (though rafiel was cheap as crap in 2)

And tekken strikes a great balance between them (my favorite)

DOA does not compete, no matter what the xbox fanboys say

Well at this point it's a PS3 exclusive from what I've read, but it could carry onto the 360.  However considering Soul Calibur 3 only premiered on the PS2 it may not be multi-platform.

Well, I played Street Fighter when I was around eight. Always played as Dhalsim, and never figured out any moves. Heck, I never even managed to use the projectile attacks. >_>

For a borderline anorexic, Dhalsim was a pretty slow character.

Yes, I thought the whole stretching thing was cool. I was able to get in a few blows with the long range, but nothing else. Never figured out how to do Yoga Fire, or Teleport, or the Drill Kick. Of course, now that there's Gamefaqs, I know, but I don't know of an arcade around here that has it. I was also quite surprised to read up on Wikipedia that he's mostly a pacifist, what with those skulls around his neck. He comes off more as a Mola Ram than a Ghandi. >_>

Funnily enough, while I'm terrible at Street Fighter and Samurai Showdown (I've had recent failures with the latter), I'm competent in Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur (I beat Soul Edge in the arcades when I was around eight), and I'm quite good at Tekken. I've actually beaten both Tekken 3 and 5 in the arcades. >_>

Well this is a tough one... PS's : Near perfect arcade ports with a controller to match. Saturn: Some of the best fighting games on it and the best stock controller for fighters. DC: Nuf Said... NeoGeo: KoF, FF,AoF, SS... Come on, thats just kickass but your wallet would hate you forever! Arcade: Its the arcade... I guess it would be between the PS2, DC, and Arcade to see would come out victor.

Now with the recent news of Virtual Fighter being a horrible game, DOA4 ramains the best fighting game for this generation but now for long... An!other Xbox360 jewel is coming very soon, Killer Instinct NEXT! Only for Xbox360. I simply don't understand why would you consider a PS3/Wii if you're a fighting game fanatic when the best of the best are only on X360. DOA4, with its lighting fast combos, deep battling systems, beautiful graphics and KilleR Instinct NEXT...its made by Rare so you know it will turn out to be an instant classic. There's just so much fighting games on its way to the X360 that its purely insane! Not to mention multiplatform games such as VF5 looks best on X360 because its much more powerful than the PS3 and don't mention the WII please, it has next-gen specs.Click_Clock
When has 8.1 been a bad game?? Thats what LP got and i loved that game.

Compare the scores with DOA4 buddy and for not reading the whole thing, why not? Is it too long for you? Should I shorten it so you have an easier time to read it?

DOA 4 = 8.8 it's not a huge difference. DOA4 is not even AAA.
