I'm going to say it again, I find it really amusing that the actual competitive fighting games aren't at the top of the list on here, but I guess that makes sense because from what I can tell from the Escapist, we don't have much of a fighting game scene here.
lol sure you can, Kings unstoppable grab combo, THAT is pretty wrong. good game though.irequirefood said:
Hahaha. Recently replaying Tekken 2, all I have to say is this: Kazuya's instant kill combo. If you have taken even the slightest damage and get hit by that, you're dead. And it's a ***** to block all the attacks :/CMDR Zero C said:
Soul Calibur. I used to play a little bit of DOA but by far, Soul Calibur is the fighting game I play the most and am the best at.
I'd say more of those 'other' votes are Smash Bros given the responses. GG and BB are more obscure and 'hard core' so their following isn't as large.Eduku said:
A shame that fighters aren't as popular compared to other genres, and it's an even bigger shame the tournament level fighters(aside from SF that is) aren't as popular. They are far more satisfying than the more 'accessible' ones where you can just faff about *glares at smash bros*.
Yeah, you're probably right. Guilty Gear had a particularly steep learning curve, so it's probably more of a 'cult classic' than a popular game. Blazblue's learning curve isn't as steep though.-Seraph- said:
Well, I have Smash Bros, I didn't really see what the fuss was about. Good party game though.
I dunno if I'm just naturally a good learner or something, but I didn't find the learning curve to be that steep. It's a deceptively simple game and the controls are so tight that its hardly a big endeavor to learn. Even knowing only the basics you can have boat loads of fun and hold your own. Now learning advanced stuff can be tough, but I found the natural progression of learning/playing it to be very well done. It just all becomes second nature after a while.Eduku said:
Hell I had a harder time trying to play Soul Calibur than I ever did GG. Then again I'm not one to button mash. I was never too big of SB myself, to me it just seems like the fighting game for people who don't play fighting games.
Same here, I didn't find it super hard to get into, but other people obviously did. I thought it was one of those games which is 'easy to learn, hard to master'. If anything, Street Fighter is harder to learn once you find out that spamming hadoukens will only get you pummelled.-Seraph- said:
Smash bros, easily. I love me some marth, I kick all kinds of ass with him.
Of the options listed, then Soul Calibur.

And also, I need to post this up cause its always a fun thing to do in fighting game topics =D
Having the tread go this far, i am happily surprised that soul cal is doing so well. I was expecting Street fighter, and i'm proud to see that some people still remember the classic ones like Virtual Fighter and bloody roar.
