What is your favorite fighting game?

[Copanele 19,280]

Since 2019 has been a generous year in fighting games (MK11, Samurai Shodown 2019 and Guilty Gear anniversary edition to name a few), I was wondering, what are your favorite fighting games ? 

Any platform goes!

For me , it has to be Guilty Gear X2 Reload (really a fan of this series) , closely followed by Ultra Street Fighter 4.

Some of my all time favorite fighting series are Samurai Shodown, Art of Fighting, The King of Fighters in my earlier life cycle. I also enjoyed MK and SF but nothing close to how much I love the earlier 3. In more recent years I have really like the GG and BB series. I love how they draw you in thru the story mode. Its like watching a whole anime/movie. Also cannot not mention Naruto series. Very well made.

I forgot about that series wow  All I ever played was Ninja storm 3 fullburst (I think it was called) and some weird Mugen stuff on PC. I had a blast with both of them though.

Right now I have the most fun with Under Night, so glad it made it to EVO

[Nightstream88 1,315]

Super Smash Bros series easily
followed closely by Soul Calibur series
I also like the Injustice games as well and also liked Pokken Tournament

Game i spend most time is Tekken. But love GGXrd/Rev

[Happy 1,835]

Melee. Tekken if you’re a purist.

[Feral 2,991]

Tekken 5.

[Smashero 5,136]

BODY BLOWS!

IIRC I’ve only ever played one fighting game, Tekken 6, so it wins by default. I actually really enjoyed it, even the Scenario Campaign. A platinum I’m quite proud of, given how inexperienced I was with the genre.

[Hanzoadam 2,977]

Dead or alive series

[KingGuy420 3,909]

Street Fighter 4 and MvC3 are definitely the ones I put the most time into and have my favorite core mechanics. I even played them somewhat competitively.

 

But there's just something about Injustice 1/2 that I absolutely love. There's nothing more satisfying than throwing people around with Green Lantern's ring =)

I always liked the Dragonball series

[Wolf_D_Flame 25]

Smash without doubt. And I have played a large list of fighting games from a lot of saga in a lot of formats and platforms: Calibur, Tekken, Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Jump, some SNK, Street Fighter, Dissidia, and a large etc.

 

Why Smash well nostalgia is a big part, the amount of hours I played it also. But nothing beat a 4 man match where the real life fight is bigger than the ingame fight ( don't get it wrong I'm talking about jumping on your enemy, blocking vision, pulling controllers that kind of thing). Plus even a lot of people prefer the Omega Stage 1 on 1 fights, the chaos of the randomise of a lot of items falling makes for a lot of good laughs.

 

If we go more classic style probably would pick up SoulCalibur. 

 

And if we can't have Smash well Jump Ultimate Stars is the chosen one.

I suck at all of them but Street Fighter has always been my fighting game fix.

[Startyde 224]

Hard to say, there's so many amazing entries in this genre, all full of style and class.

 

Off the top of my head, a top 10 would look something like:

 

MK9

CVS2

SCIII

ECCD

GGXAC+

MVC

GGXrd Rev2

Persona 4 Ultimax

Tekken 5

MK11

[shadowhood1111 155]

Tekken is my most beloved fighting franchise. Been playing since I was a kid and nothing beats a man wearing a cheetah mask kicking the absolute shit out of people.

 

I found out how great Marvel Vs Capcom 3 was playing against friends and the Naruto games although many wont consider them fighting games.

 

soul caliber 2 was great since U could play as Link other than him I used Raphael

[RadiantFlamberge 3,706]

Here are some of my favorites.

 

Fatal Fury Real Bout 2: The Newcomers - Good, but it would be even better without the multi-line system. At least some stages are thankfully 1-line battles.

 

Garou: Mark of the Wolves - Fewer characters than RB2, but it makes up for that with some nice improvements to gameplay like switching to a 1-line system for all stages, the T.O.P feature which kicks in to power you up when your lifebar is at a certain point, & Just Defense.

 

The King of Fighters XIV - SNK did a good job with taking their main series into 3D graphics, while keeping the 2D gameplay. I prefer XIV over KOF Maximum Impact- the 3D movement makes MI not feel like a true KOF game to me.

 

Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection (PS3)

 

Tekken 6 - A close 2nd to TK5. The Nancy-MI847J battle is something nice for a change.

 

Street Fighter III 2nd Impact & 3rd Strike - SFIV & V are alright, but SFIII 2I & 3S impress me more. One of SFIII 3rd's cooler characters, Twelve, didn't make it into IV or V. I think it may have been too hard to render him in 3D? It's awesome to see him morph into a clone of the opponent using the X.C.O.P.Y. move.

[Helyx 9,911]

Mortal Kombat II, Eternal Warriors, Tekken Tag, Clay Fighters, Time Killers and Primal Rage

[SpaceShepherd_ 29]

My favorite fighting game would be Super Smash Bros. Melee, followed by Injustice.

Woah someone else loves Street Fighter III  that's awesome. It was really complex for its time , one of Capcom's finest and the place where "Daigo Parry" was born.

As for Twelve , I believe it didn't show up in IV or V because SF III is the last chronologically. Twelve was created by Gill so it wouldn't make much sense to appear in IV (although it might appear in V if they decide to continue the story and link it to III )

I have to go with For Honor, if that qualifies as a fighting game in that sense.

Even though the game is unbalanced and broken beyond repair I just had so many good moments with it.

[Funky_Monk15 11]

My favorite fighting games that I play with friends are Super Smash Bros. and Ultimate Ninja Storm 4

 

If I’m just playing by myself I love Pokken Tournament and Soul Calibur 2

Mortal Kombat

King of Fighters

[LAD-Shooter 20]

Street Fighter II (Base Game) 

 

Killer Instinct - Super Nintendeo
