What is you favorite fighting franchise?

I personally like Tekken the best but all ya'll probably have a different opinion or something to say about Tekken.

I personally like Tekken the best but all ya'll probably have a different opinion or something to say about Tekken.

I like Tekken as well, I absolutely suck at it, but enjoy playing it anyways.

Mortal Kombat, which peaked about MK3. Brutality, so named I suspect because it was a brutal move to even pull off. So many buttons...

How can you leave out Super smash brothers?

I'm a Narutard (So sue me.) Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 is the best fighting game I've ever played (which aren't many, admittedly.)

How can you leave out Super smash brothers?

Because that game sucks.

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because that game sucks.

On behalf of over five million people, I disagree with your opinion and demand the reasoning behind it.

Also, the OP spelt SoulCalibur wrong.

Because that game sucks.
Not if you have more than one friend.

:p

(No offense implied. Simply pointing out that 4-player > 2-player)

Brawl > traditional fighting games.

Because that game sucks.

I only have one thing to say to you:

NOW I'LL SHOW YOU!!!

LANDMASTER!

Tekken 3. That was just gorgeous.

Mortal Kombat and Virtua Fighter were good, but Tekken 3 could be played over and over and over...sometimes while listening to Black Eyed Peas

Yoshimitsu, Gon and Ogre ftw!

Hahaha, and Anna Williams looked just like my English teacher at the time. Awesome.

Query: Sonic's final smash...Most broken final smash? Or most broken final smash EVAR?

And god I love it.

Which is the one with a lil' dinosuar you could unlock? I was never any good at these games, but I'd just sit and spin with Dino and his tail would whoop up on other players LOL. You could beat me if you bothered to choose something with a ranged atack, but I really pissed off the others :p

World of Warcraft

If I had to guess I'd think you're talking about Yoshi (http://wii.jeuxvideo.org/files/MaaAx/News/Photos%20diverses/super-mario-64-ds-yoshi.jpg) in Super Smash Bros.

Not a fighting game.

Unless you're not being serious. In that case, FOR PONY!

Nope, he was a lil yellow guy, not quite so cute. It might have been some sort of "Mortal Stagefright" game or something . . .

Ah, well then, I've no idea. The only fighting game I like is Smash so I stick to that.

[edit] Primal Rage (http://www.klov.com/images/10/1053274870.jpg) maybe? That's old school right there.

Warcraft certainly is a fighting game, its called PvP servers.

Warcraft certainly is a fighting game, its called PvP servers.

"Fighting game" describes genre, not function. WoW is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. The fact that you can fight other players doesn't make it a fighting game, that makes it an RPG that allows you to fight other players.

While not defining traits of the genre, the vast majority of fighting games involve life bars, fights that last an odd number of rounds, and are viewed in profile.

Elements of Fighting games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_game#Elements_of_fighting_games)

Fighting games are one to fourish players head to head, each character on the same level, in a closed stage, and the main purpose of the game is these character-on-character fights. That is not WoW. WoW is an RPG that is also MMO.

I'm not a big fan of fighting games. They're overly violent and usually pointless, with the only fun part about them being able to use a fighting game to kick your older brother's ass without even trying. (And without even knowing what you're doing, too.)

There was one fighting game I did have lots of fun with, with a friend, though. It was this badly translated anime-style fighting game called Evilzone. I don't know what it was about this game, but it was a lot more fun than any fighting game I had ever played.

It was also silly and dumb--and did I mention badly translated?--but it was fun. (And the guy who voices Colonel Campbell did some voices in it.)

That reminds me, anyone here actually played Melty Blood before? It's a cult-hit at the anime club on campus. Not that I particularly like it, just wondering how many people have played it.


And of course, there's always mugen.

hellos,
Favorite fighting game/s for me? :fluffle:

I would say Planetside for the FPS/MMP/OLG(online game)
and Warhammer 40,000 computer games and add-ons for the tactics*/god view style game.
*I wish my computer could handle Supreme Commander.

I would love Halo more if it stayed on the computer, and 2nd person games (console games) more if the camera stayed behind the character; i cant be fighting and have to move a camera view at the same time just to stay alive.:headbang:

Rafe

I have cousins that like Dragonball Z games. I watched them play once, and it was terrible.

I think the Soul Calibur series is pretty decent. And Super Smash Brothers is fun as hell, especially with four players. :mad:

Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Do you guys get the message? :D

I love how most people voted for "Something Else".

Oh god, here comes Nanatsu and her lolcats! Dammit, stop throwing lolcats at me! I can't dodge them!

Neh, that's my GODWIN'S LAW attack. Which doesn't seem to do jack shit 'round here.

I rather like the Guilty Gear games, even if I'm not very good at them.

SSBB FOR THE WIN!!

Why didn't you put that in the poll? You make me very sad.:(

Hey, Melee is good too.

WTF is that? Super Saiyan Sonic?

WTF is that? Super Saiyan Sonic?

Welcome to 1992.

Virtua Fighter. It may not be the flashiest of fighting games, but it's certainly one of the deepest and most rewarding of practice.

The only really bad franchise on this list is Mortal Kombat, and it saddens me that it has gotten the most votes. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is YOUR fault people. YOUR FAULT!

WTF is that? Super Saiyan Sonic?

Wait, WTF!? Do you know nothing of Sonic? That's Super Sonic...with the power of the seven chaos emeralds, and some rings. I mean, really! It's Super Sonic! How do you not know Super Sonic!?

Fencing: The best in two player action!

Street Fighter makes everything else its bitch.

I could never get all the Chaos Emeralds, it was too hard...

You need dedication and a perfect knowledge of the various tracks, though a mate playing well with Tails always helps.

Anyhoo, SoulCalibur and Super Smash Bros. are the ones I play most these days, but I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Street Fighter.

Particularly Street Fighter EX+ Alpha. It may not have been the best in the franchise, but it’s the one I played to death as a kid.

You need dedication and a perfect knowledge of the various tracks, though a mate playing well with Tails always helps.

Yeah, that. The Sonic 3 bonus stages are easier, but yeah. Still, it's sonic! SuperSonic is what he does.

Street Fighter II is awesome, that franchise is second for me.

I can't remember the name of it, there was a robot called Killgore that had a finishing move that involved decapitating your opponent with laser claws, an Ice man named Glacius, and a big Velocaraptor. If you were able to hit your opponent with enough blows in a row it would shout out "ULTRAAAAAAAA COMBOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Does Brawl count? ;)

Although I'm simply blown away by the visual awesomesauce from Soul Calibur, especially the upcoming number 4 wich features friggin' Yoda for the 360 and Darth Vader for the PS3 (that's like, SO AWESOME!!!) I háte the endless lists of combo's. Thereby I've chosen "Something different", namely the Super Smash series. For 1 simple reason: it's low game-play threshold. There isn't a shitload of combo's you need to learn by heart for that game to be awesome. With a couple of simple moves, a crapload of freaky items, some friends and a cheering virtual audience (wich is especially awesome when you kick Snake's ass with a fluffly pink ball, Kirby, it's comedy value) you've got an ass-kicking endless action spectacle. Super Smash Brothers kept me busy for years (about 4), if I would only have a Wii to get myself Brawl... O well, maybe Soul Calibur 4 will do ;)

Mortal Kombat.

With note to ClayFighter and Shaq-Fu. They get bad raps, but playing them with my little brother was entertaining enough. He can make any game fun.

That's it.

I voted Soul Calibur, but only because I loved the old SoulBlade/ SoulEdge game.

Has to be Mortal Kombat...Street Fighter comes close, but since they havent changed really at all since Street Fighter II, it loses points...

Cant wait for MK vs DCU it oughta be kick ass...

Sub-Zero'll rip that Punk Ass Batman's Spine out, and Scorpion'll use a Kryptonite tipped Spear to make Superman his Bitch, lol...

From Wikipedia:

The game will deviate from traditional Mortal Kombat roots due to the restrictions put forth by DC Comics on their characters. The company's policies prevent their intellectual property from getting involved in the kind of violence one would expect from a Mortal Kombat game.

This restriction has led Midway to remove fatalities, or at least heavily modify the concept, so that they can aim for a "T" (Teen) rating for the game.

Ohh ohh I like that game that starts when somebody says summit about your mum.

Umm I think it's called 'your mum'

Soul Calibur.

It's just too deep to pass up, and I'm excited about online play on the Soul Calibur IV, especially since I've got both a 360 and a PS3 now.

Samurai Shodown

Nothing else comes close.

Soul Caliber II. And my copy is 70 miles from me, which might be okay because I have 5 finals in the next week-and-a-half.

I'm a big fan of the Tekken series, especially Tekken 5, the latest incarnation. Unlike most other fighting games, the same basic move template is not utilized for all the characters. Being excellent with one character does not ensure even average capability with any other character. The move sets for each character are deep, and nearly impossible to learn completely, unless you have FAR too much time on your hands.

I could go on and on...but I won't. :p
