Melty Blood Actress Again current codes
Virtual Fighters 5 final showdown
Soul Claibure 5
sub best
Battle fantasia
KOFXIII
Arcana hearts 3
Aqua pazza
Honorable mentioning
TvC,
Skullgirls
Injustice
SSF4:AE2012 no fucking contest.
Breaker’s Revenge, followed by what Hecatom said.
Actually if you go buy sales. MKvsDC would be #1. Soul Caliber 4 and MK9 would be up there too.
Well, there you have it. The 3 best fighters of this generation.
MK9 is stupidly fun though.
Fire that game up every so often to play through the story/arcade and beat up my gf without breaking the law.
When Injustice comes out as a priced down all-in-one bundle, I’m gonna get that shit for the single player experience as well.
Imo lots of fighting games can learn from Netherrealm in terms of casual fun and story modes/challenges etc.
Brawl
no shit I love breaker revenge but I think Breaker ravange is disqualify for not being part of this generation. lets not turn this into the “what is the best fighter of all time?”
I suspect this thread has run it’s course. It should become an argument about the best fighter of all time, or maybe pad vs stick.
Hitbox.
Tekken Revolution easily, best tekken game since 5 and its free xD
Arcana Heart 3 is the best fighting system you’ve never played. Too bad no one will even try it because of the sprites.
Pedo.
Surprised to see 3 people saying Arcana Heart 3. I came in to post the same.
AH3 has pretty much something for everyone:
-All the characters are varied with many archetypes.
-Chains and links, along with jump/homing/extend force cancels.
-Many movement and defensive options.
-Character customisation (arcana system).
-Akane has a Dragon Kick!
-Every character can FLY, FOR FREE!!
It’s like Guilty Gear, Darkstalkers and Dragon Ball Z had a baby, it just happens that the baby is a Japanese school girl so no one wants to play with her.
Honorable mentions:
P4A: Characters are unique, simple for newbies but not braindead, Chie has a Dragon Kick.
Skullgirls: Art, battle system and characters are all awesome. So many features that should have already been in games.
UMVC3: It’s Marvel, busted, stupid, but so much fun like no other.
Blazblue: Guilty Gears cousin, nuff said. Also it has a werewolf butler.
my dick
I stopped reading here.
Metal gear solid 4
There is only one answer:

And just in case you’re wondering, yes, this is promotional material for an actual fighting game. Google it!
It was re-released on the Neo-Geo X, does that count?
-My personal tier list-
Please keep in mind, the games listed are based on 5 of the most important things to me in a fighting game:
requires decent execution, high comboability rewarded with exceptional damage output, big moveset with a good variety of mixup options/feint cancels, solid system mechanics, and momentum is encouraged.
S tier - Tag2, Chaos Code
A tier - VF5FS, BBCP, MBCC, SC2, MELEE, ST, EX2+, KOF2k2UM, MK9, Martial Masters (patched version), Ougon Musou Kyoku CROSS
B tier - MIRA, SFxT, UMvC3, Fate Unlimited Codes, Alpha 3 (Console Version)
KOFXIII is overrated and I don’t like that game at all.
SF4 & DoA games are terrible. I wish SFxT wasn’t so ugly to look at.
I don’t play GGXXAC+R, but I respect it’s better than Blazblue overall.
I HATE P4A and Injustice!
SC2HDO will be S tier once it’s released.
MK9 would be S tier if it was final patched and fixed correctly.
KOF2K2UM would be S tier if it had multi console online with GOOD netcode
And if there’s a game/series I didn’t mention, it’s pretty much “meh” lol.
