Best 2D Fighter: Streetfighter II
Best 3D Fighter: Virtua Fighter 4 or Soul Calibur

3d fighting is TEKKEN !!! tekken 3 if possible. i love panda. panda rulez. havent tried soul caliber though

True Dat. IMO Tekken 3 is *the* best fighter on any platform *ever*. :D

No way, I could decimate Panda with Brian or King anyday :D

bah, if not panda, how bout cristy :D :D .. her mumbo kapwera style can do some facinating moves :D that can buggle your mind. ;)

2d fighter game like Street Fighter or King of Fighters or Dragon Ball. I'm don't like 3d fighting game.

Soul Calibur II is the best fighting game. The number of moves, options, realism. There simply is no better. You may have more fun playing another game, but the accuracy of Soul Calibur's 3D weapons combat system must be given homage as the best to date.

Can you ask this question again after Half-Life 2 has been released?...

When he says "fighting game" he means beat'em up. You would describe Half Life 2 as "first person shooter".

Personally I like Virtua Fighter 4 though Sega can't do no wrong in my biased eyes [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Wasnt this same thing in user created polls... o well MORTAL KOMBAT ALL THE WAY or soul caliber 2

I never liked the Mortal Kombat series much although the second one was okay. At that time Street Fighter II had much more depth, it was alot better! Although I had to wait for along time for it to come out on Sega's Mega Drive...

Best 2D? I dunno...
Best 3D? Either Super Smash Bros Melee, or Soul Calibur 2...

I haven't played it yet, but from what I've seen, I'd say Soul Calibur II. Other than I don't know, I don't usually play beat 'em up games, I'm more of an RPG player.

Am I the only person on Earth who likes DOA's fighting system? I mean it's great! It's a system of counters and counter-counters and counter-counter-counters... I mean fights can go on for ages [img]tongue.gif[/img] + It's got some really ... um... Well rendered characters [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I hate 3d fighters because it's all about countering and nothing about attacking yourself. It's all defense, which is just plain boring to me. Also, 3d fighters tend to lend themselves to be heavily unbalanced. FOr example, Maxi (I call him Tampon) will always have an edge over Astaroth in Soul Caliber games, because Astaroth is not built to be able to handle someone so quick.

For me, Guilty Gear X2 is hands-down the best. HANDS-DOWN. It's very fast but not so fast as to overwhelm you, the moves are not necessarily hard to pull off but learning how to link combos through moves is (in other words, it's not skill to pull off moves, but skills how to utilize everything right), and all the things you can do through the tension guage are great and hard to master (overdrives, dead-angle attacks, faultless defense, roman cancels, blah blah blah...). And need I mention how sweet the characters and story are? I totally dig the whole 80's rock theme to everyone. I mean, come on! How can you not like a guy named Axl Rose that happens to look uncannily like a very young Axl Rose?!

Plus, the soundtrack is probably one of my favorite soundtracks EVER, let alone for a video game.

BTW, why was this thread created? I already had it going in the gaming section of the forum (where this belongs).

Deja Vu: Although Street Fighter II is more nostalgic, Tekken wins it hands down ... End Deja Vu
</font>

2D-Capcom Vs SNK 2/King of the fighters 98

3D-Soul Calibur 2...BAR NONE!

Soul Calibur II for the newer systems (probably the best one out there, with tekken right up there...GO YOSHIMITSU!!). But for SNES and the earlier systems this game called "Rage" with dinosaurs and Urth was pretty kickass too...Brings back the good memories

wow so many choices. glad you guys said SOUL CALIBUR and DOA... i thought that they wouldn't be mentioned...

And /)eathKiller you are absolutly right about the *character*

That's a great observation there /)eath. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Mortal Kombat? [img]tongue.gif[/img] MORTAL KOMBAT! Bah [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The Sims.

one must fall 2097

Every now and then i play this game until i become insanely good at it [img]smile.gif[/img]

pity the sequal kinda sucks :(


super smash brothers is also good fun. Not played many console fighters, tekken 3 is okish too i guess though.

Tekken rules from 3d choice.
Brian is a good fighter but my favourite is law.

Have you even played Soul Calibur II??
And DON'T say "in the arcade"...

I bought Soul Calibur 2 today! [img]smile.gif[/img]

*plays SCII*

I think my list needs changing! ;)

I own and played Soul Calibur 1 to death, and EVERY review I have read (especially Edge magazine [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;) ) confirms that the sequel is superior. If I consider the predecessor to be the best 3d fighting game ever, wouldn't it be logical to assume the critically acclaimed and superior sequel is the best game ever? You mamaluke!

I think One Must Fall and Bloody Roar 2

Are you kidding me? [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] One Must Fall? As in the game with the huge robots? I played that with my brother a couple of times, but I got so bored with it!

SC2 is good, very good, but my favorite 3der has to be DOA2: hardcore II.
I played that game religiously for years.

2D has, and will have, no comparison beyond super street fighter 2, end of story

SOUL CALIBUR 2 and Marvel Vs. Capcom

I have now played it, and I can now confirm that it is the best 3D fighting game ever. Satisfied oh argumentative one? [img]tongue.gif[/img]


PS-I suggest you purchase the game.
