Smash Bros for me. One of the few fighting games I actually like. Runners up would have to be Soul Calibur and BlazBlue.
Poll: which fighting game series do you love the most?

Fight Night 3 is my favourite so far. It's nice seeing a fighting game in which button bashing will just tire your character out in the first couple of rounds, leaving you open for knock out straight way. Fight Night encourages tactics, caution, and economy. Plus, I also made a retarded looking boxer called "Bam Bam" who was 5' 2'' and had a ginger afro, yet he still got to the World Championship!
OK, I'm glad that you... wait, are you implying that all the other times you've been put on probation it wasn't your fault? (Also, if my memory serves me correctly, the first time I saw you get a probation was when we where in an argument with each other. Times have changed)Furburt said:
i think smash bros is probably as perfect a fighter game as you can ask for. melee was my favourite, it had that perfect balance of easy (but not TOO easy) to pick up, great fun and (weirdly for a fighter) actually putting some effort into the single player aspect.
Oh boy there is quite a few, lets see:
Killer Instinct was my first true fighting game that I loved. I hated street fighter and MK but Killer instinct was just fantastic.
Soul Calibur is also a great series with a rather intuitive combat engine and some really nice combo meta game to it.
Guilty gear and Blazblue are great and I eagerly await Blazblue PSP because that is simply awesome.
DOA was rather fun to play around with when I was at my friends and it had decent combat.
Of coarse my absolute favorite fighter is Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Good god did that hit the nail on the head. The game is impossible to win by button mashing, I mean...you CAN'T win AT ALL by button mashing. The combat is simple and intuitive while still having a level of detph and complexity for the hard core. The character balance is superb, hell even with equipment in effect, the balance holds up well. A healthy roster of characters that are all greatly unique hence no clone syndrome. And most of all it's combat game play is a breath of fresh air in a genre that to most people would seem rather stagnant.

This is total bullshit to the N'th degree. There are plenty of fighting games where button mashing will get you killed, and careful attention to controls is absolutely necessary. I don't want to make assumptions but this just sounds like you have not played many fighting games to make such a bold statement. Many popular fighting games require skill in order to actually play them properly, the problem is people make these dumb assumptions because they fight scrubs who don't know how to actually play. I somewhat enjoy smash bros but calling it the only fighting game to demand skill is laughibly stupid. hell I found them to be the biggest culprits of being able to win by button mashing.Xzi said:
Street Fighter. SF4 is the best game I have ever played and I'm slightly obsessed with it even after it's been out so long...
The 'Marvel vs.' and 'Capcom vs.' series have both been great, lead of course by the staggering accomplishment that is Marvel vs Capcom 2.
I'm also a pretty big fan of Super Smash Bros. and Street Fighter.

The Virtua Fighter series; the most accurate and technical fighter there is and probably the big reason why I can't abide by "fighters" like Smash Bros. You need skill, patience and practice to be any good at it.
