Marvel vs Capcom 3. I haven't had as much fun with a fighting game since Super Smash Bros Melee, yeah, that's right, Melee, not Brawl. It's brilliantly fun and very easy to play. Skill really shows in MvC3 because it's not a matter of how difficult the control input is, it's how you use it that counts.

Super Street Fighter IV

Getting Tatsunoko would be kinda redundant if you're definitely picking up Marvel vs Capcom 3, seeing as the latter is essentially an expanded, American-friendly version of the former.

Blazblue: CS


MvC3 is a nice distraction, SSF4 isn't worth my time, BB:CS is my eternal love.


There's so much depth and variety in this game you won't believe it, you'll always come back for more. The community is all very skilled too, there's nowhere near as many spammers mashers and ragequitters. (at least on the ps3 version online which I use on all aforementioned fighters)

Meh, there is no need for another fighting game! The best in the genre, Super Smash Bros for n64 has already been made ;)

We're talking about fighting games, not party games with fighting and characters as their gimmick :p.


Even Melee was only decent due to it being buggy...and brawl lasted me maybe a month and it had chars I actually liked using unlike the previous ones.

Hehe, well as you see I don't know much about fighting games, and I don't really care for them at all, except for Super Smash Bros! Damn I still play it! But those later installments... meh...

Get Super Street Fighter IV if you're after a Street Fighter. Basically the same price for more stuff.
But personally, I'd be satisfied with Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. I played Street Fighter IV for a week and just got angry. I've played MvC3 for a week and actually had fun. Fun with a game, crazy, I know.

EDIT:
Oh, and I haven't played Tatsunikalokowhatever Vs. Capcom, so I don't know how good that is. It has Viewtiful Joe, it can't be all bad.

You know how MvC3 is different than MvC2?

It's different in a way that is the same way TvC is different from it, basically, TvC and MvC3 have a ton of stuff in common, the stuff that is not there in MvC2.

Well, yeah, for that type of thing it works but current competitive fighters are games where you learn everything inside out, memorize all moves, many-hit combos, practice for hundreds of hours and play thousands of online matches, always competing with like-minded people and having an amazingly deep experience.


It's not the same as putting in the N64 and having a nice blast from the past for a few hours a week tops.

I got MvsC3 last week, and it's fun as hell, very balance(most of the characters), but when you play and every idiot is desperate to win uses Sentinel+Hulk+Phoenix it's almost impossible to win thanks to the laser spamming they do.

It's not impossible, nowhere near that, just use a long-range super right as he's about to use it and then combo him with quick long combos so he'll die right away. Sentinel dies in 2-3 combos max, it's not that bad.

Either Blazblue or Soul Caliber 3. (I say 3 because it had more in it, more gaming for your dollar than 4.)

Probably in local matches, but online with lag( as it is now) it's barely imposible to me since it's laggy, plus they call in support like hell, and if they have a long attack support it becomes annoying, and so they use Xfactor and with 3 lasers my character is gone, 5-6 if i'm blocking.
You're right, it's not impossible, but it's annoying, just as Hadouken/shoryuken spammers in SSF4, and that was the reason i Sold that game cause it pisses me off every online fight i had to fight against Ken T_T

If they spam assists catch both of them with a super, if they chip you with x-factor activate your own, it completely negates chip damage.

I know i can do that, and have won a couple of matches, but my point is, It shouldn't be this way, everyone trying to Cheap win a match, i Play always with the same, Ryu,X-23,Gouky( I'ts Gouky not AKUMA!)or wolverine, even if i can spam haouken and those sort of attacks, i don't cause it less fun to me just so that i get better stats, when I play and lose i don't care it's a fair fight, i have even loss almost perfect when i barely touch the guy, but i don't get mad cause it was a good fight and he is just awesome. But that style of play, anoys me, like campers in MW2.

I'd get Tatsunoko vs Capcom since it's less traditional than Street Fighter and you can pull off crazy combo strings and do over "4.7892 billion damage."

In fighting games winning is fun, if the person legitimately thinks he is doing his best to out-maneuver you by repeatedly using the same move and he wins, guess what, he is RIGHT!

There is nothing intrinsically "fair" or "unfair", to magically divine such definitions is the mark of the scrub, you have no right to decree your opponent's way of having fun unfair for being opposed to yours cause he could do the same and we'd be suck going nowhere.

Instead, everything is fair (as long as you don't use infinite life cheats or something), spamming is just one more strategy and it's your metal that's being tested when you're facing it, if you can't beat that I guarantee you, you stand no chance against a more esoteric style of confusing pressure gameplay and combos that kill you in one go.
