Greatest old skool fighter ever ...

[xxpatxx]

Being literally raised on Mortal kombat i have always been obsessed with it but wont deny the fact its deteriorated since MK4 (Why was deadly alliance ever created -_-) Meanwhile i've always had a soft spot for Killer Instinct on the SNES. Thats my opinion, but that doesn't mean shit, so I want to hear yours! Whats your favourite old skool fighter?

It's not that "old school" but, for some reason, I adored bloody roar 2 on the ps1 (BR3 on gamecube [I think] was awful). It also had the best/funniest fight announcer of any fighting game I've played.

Bloody Roar was absolutely mad hatter. I only played the first one, though.

To go beyond old school I would have to say Karate Champ. 2 joystick and no buttons. It was mad but it worked.

I'm going to say the one I own - Street Fighter 2.

I play it with my 13 year old cousin on the SNES. It's one of the few games where we are on an even skill level, and it is ALWAYS hilarious.

Tell me about it. I play all of them up to the latest ones. They are just a joke. I miss you MK Trillogy + 4

I think I'm gonna have to go with super street fighter 2. Man all the hours I've had Ken/Ryu bouts with friends...
MK1/2 is a close second though.

Edit: If Soul Edge (PS1) can be considered old school I'm going with that. Thats my all time favorite fighting game. Best intro in a fighting game ever, best music, best and most expansive single player experience, best and fastest multiplayer. What an AWESOME game.
