What are some good Fighting games?

zonic505 · 04-12-2008, 08:03 PM

I got Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 not even 2 weeks ago & I'm wondering what other good fighter games there are. The only ones I have are MvC2 & the Super Smash Bros. series. I should note I don't have a Xbox 360, so no Dead Or Alive, sadly...Anything for the PS2 or Wii/Virtual Console?

KOFXII if you can find it, the Street Fighter III, Tekken 5, Arcana Heart, Soul Caliber III, the Fatal Fury Battle Archives, Guilty Gear X2 and Virtua Fighter 4.

I also like Street Fighter EX3.

All are for PS2

Someone suggested Guilty Gear, but I'm still figuring out the whole naming thing (yeesh, it's almost as annoying as Street Fighter).

Since I've hardly got money, I think I might focus on Arcana Heart (only $30) & Guilty Gear XX Λ Core (since it's the newest & easiest to find). Since I've hardly got money, they're gonna have to be rentals...

I'd tell you to stay away from KOF XI, but my opinion is too biased since I am just bored and tired of that old and worn out franchise... so yeah, you might like it. I'd choose Neo Geo Battle Coliseum over that shit, though :3

Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution.

It really depends on what kind of fighting game you like and where you'd want to put your focus on.

For 2D, try the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection. Two of the best 2D fighters made in one game. For faster paced action you'd want to go Guilty Gear XX Accent Core. For somewhere in between, Arcana Heart / King of Fighters XI.

For 3D, there's either the Tekken / Soul Caliber camp, or the Virtua Fighter camp. Tekken / SC are both a lot easier to pick up than Virtua Fighter, but getting good at Virtua Fighter will have a lot of skills that translates well to other games.

Other oddball games I can throw out there for fighting include Rumble Roses, King of Fighters Maximum Impact, or any of the gazillion Naruto fighting games on the Gamecube.

I will confess to owning GNT 2 through 4

They're incredibly stupid but they make fantastic party games

This man speaks the truth. I'd also like to add Capcom VS SNK 2 and Street Fighter Alpha Anthology. I would also recommend Melty Blood if your into PC gaming.

Now that you mention it, I actually owned Naruto: Ultimate Ninja for awhile. It was alright, but after I beated it & got everything, I sold it.

I really never got into Soul Calibur 2. I also wanna mention I don't have a X360 or PSP. I kinda wanna stay w/ PS2 or Wii/GCN. Here's what I'm planning so far:

DoA2: Hardcore (my library has game nights & I had fun playing matches & tag team battles on DOA3. & looking at the pretty....GRAPHICS.)
Guilty Gear XX Λ Core
Arcana Heart (only $30 to buy, so maybe once I have enough money...)
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection

I'm not really planning on buying any of them (...yet...) since I'm saving up for IIDX Gold in May.

Lovless · 04-13-2008, 01:42 PM

Well you're best bet is rental to see if you actually like the any of the said games before purchasing them.

Also there is Bloody Roar 3 and 4 for the PS2

and have you considered any of the DBZ games? Some of my friends like them and say their pretty good.

cpubasic13 · 04-13-2008, 02:11 PM

With DOA get the one pack with both DOA and DOA2 on the Xbox. It is like 15 bucks new, so renting it would be just as much anyway. Might as well keep it.

I don't play it because last time I did my brother got pissed I beat him every match despite his 24 hour training session, but it is alright. I can't think of other fighters because I really don't play them that often, if at all.

zonic505 · 04-13-2008, 02:53 PM

Like I said, I'm mostly just gonna rent them all since I'm saving up for IIDX Gold in May. I can only get DOA2: Hardcore cuz I don't have a Xbox or 360. I had great fun w/ DOA3, so that'll be bought if I ever get a 360.

I'm betting your brother got too distracted by the "detailed" graphics in the game, which is why he loses.

What about Capcom Fighting Evolution?

FFXICrosis · 04-13-2008, 03:15 PM

Tekken Hands down

Alright just stop being a faggot and trying to make innuendos out of this shit. Just say "animated representations of female anatomy," but I must warn you, either way people will make fun of you for obsessing over animated titties.
