The button spam only really works with characters like maxie, trying that on line will only get you so far till some one recognizes the patter then your in for a world of guard impacting, soul crushing, critical finishing pain... yes in that order.

Smash Bros. It's a fighting game where learning a great long stream of button combinations and spend hours practicing them and getting the timing down just right is not nesseccary to beat the game on easy.

Street Fighter for me now, though when I was younger Mortal Kombat was by far my favorite (in retrospect the MK series seems so shallow, though I keep buying pretty much every instalment). Played a hell of a lot of the original Killer Instinct, Smash Bros. (it get's stick for beingg basic but 4 player fighting games like this and many wrestling games are fun party games), Tekken (esp. Tag Tournament), the DBZ Boudaki series (3 is an amazingly well balanced and tactical game which almost no-one played enough to realise - possible even the creators because the subsequent games have been pretty much broken). My second place would go to Soul Calibur, they've always looked fantastic and are easy enough for an unskilled player to pick up, but still have enough depth and tactics for a more experienced player.

I love fighting games, it's a shame that the genre doesn't have more widespread appeal.

Dead or Alive... it's amazing, that's why

Soul Calibur. Although IV sucked in comparison to II, it was still fun, and the weapon on weapon combat is a blast. Make the training stage more accessible, tone down ring-outs, remove skills, and remove stats from clothing (As well as bringing back Team Battle), and it would be much, MUCH better.

I'll will have to agree with you about that ring out thing, i've lost many a matches from a cheap kick or throw (especially Kilk and The Apprentice. The clothing stats and weapon stats weren't too bad... but you normally have to make your characters look like douche bags before the stats are really high. Though i did manage to make a reasonable Cassandra class.

Stats on weapons can stay, those are fine, but as you said, you have to make your character look like a douche to make them good. Often I got a character looking exactly how I liked, only to discover that their stats blew goats.

No Samurai Showdown? Damn you!!! XD

Samurai Showdown kicks ass!

yep yep, my character looks awesome but i have 75% life and zero damage reduction.

Bloody roar 3!!
Best fighting game ever. O_O

 

[sukotsuto]

Garouden Breakblow : Fist or Twist - no other 3D fighting game ever matched how much fun I've had with that game and how unusually deep it was for a fighting game that's not known mainstream.

For 2D fighting game, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Probably the most unique 2D fighting game Capcom ever made.

 

[The_Spirit_of_Epic]

i remember playing soul caliber 3 for hours with my friends, and creating crazy characters with the awesome character customization.

for example, my friend made a little girl with Astaroth fighting style. as strange as that is, it was funny watching this little girl throwing people across the arena.

It has to be Street Fighter for me. SCII gets an honourable mention as well though, that was one of the best games on the gamecube. I haven't played many other fighters outside of those series though, was thinking of trying Blazblue but not to sure as I prefer slower fighters.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

BlazBlue forever. I have SF4 and it was fun, but had to get BlazBlue once Continuum Shift came out. SF4's pace is just too slow for me. I'm sad that I missed 3rd Strike. It looks really interesting. Dead or Alive also seems fun, but I didn't play it long enough.

Blazblue isn't that much faster than Street Fighter I found, it had a rather moderate pace and it really depends on the character you use. If you wanted crack cocaine pacing then you play Guilty Gear or something along that line. The newer BB even has a tutorial mode and all that to get people into the game easier. Kinda wish the PSP version had that...more practice for on the road.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

Definately Tekken for me.
Tekken 2 was the first fighting game I've ever played and I just followed the series on from there (although I still haven't been arsed to get Tekken 6.)

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

I'm a fan of a fair few fighters. Tekken, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear and Soul Calibur all jump straight to mind, while I also really liked the Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series as well. If I were pushed for an overall favourite though, it'd probably be either Street Fighter or Guilty Gear.

 

[Hateren47]

1. Killer Instinct
2. Tekken
3. Mortal Kombat

 

[geekRAGE]

I wish someone would re-do Killer Instinct. LOVED that game.

Me too. I waited for years in vain for a sequel to come out and all we got was a stupid arcade version and a 64 version that was 3D. That game has to be classic 2D otherwise doing the combos would be painful.

 

[sanzo]

No Guilty Gear or Blazblue options?

I am dissapoint

 

[GonzoGamer]

Marvel vs Street Fighter for me.
I just like a good button mash.
