Fighting Games: Bottom of the Barrel

I had great times with my Mugen, my dream matches where perfect :sunglasses:

Also SVC was fun for some casual matches considering it was a game with 0 compromise from SNK and they didn’t care about it, the new SNK devs are actually different.

The worst fighting games ever in history are those from any Chinese pirate console: (polystation 64, gamestation, 4000 games in 1, etc).

i’d just like to say that after spending more time on SSF4AE, and just getting more accustomed to it’s nuances, its not so bad.
its just an “okay” game. but its still a little too stiff, clunky and slow for my personal taste.but its definately playable and ok.
i don’t have a problem with focus attacks or ultras. just the overall speed/flow could be cranked up, the movement of the characters a lil’ more fluid, and the controls spruced up and made a little more slick and precise. it almost feels like you’re playing KoF95. like it has trouble registering corners in your special move motions or somethin’. like you have to consciously slow down your moves.
thats all.

if people are talking about any SNK or Capcom title (or any title after the year 2000 really), they need to get out and play more games.

The real Fighting game boom had games of such quality as you cannot begin to imagine.

Pray for Death, an obscure, terribad Italian-made fighting game developed for PCs. It suffers from poor controls, terrible character designs, and pretty much every flaw one can expect to find in a MK clone made in the 90s. Even the Fatalities manage to be boring to watch.

Its only saving grave is having Cthulhu as a playable character. The announcer is also somewhat amusing too. Amusingly bad, though (“A NOOBIE WINS! PERRRRHFAKT!!!”)… :lol:

“Memorably terrible”?

Well, I’m pretty open-minded.

Genuinely bad figthing games…hm…

Well, it’d have to have the most unintuitive and sluggish mechanics I know of. That would be the most standout criteria (if it feels completely insubstantial to play, then it’s unacceptable).

I’d have go with Rise of the Robots. I can’t think of a game with worse hitbox detection.

[Insert popular/recent fighting game here]

Can I be cool now?

Yo, DBZ: Final Bout, or DBA Ultimate battle 22.

Combos? No such thing, so terrible in many many ways.

Still didn’t stop me from playing the shit out of them when I was little.

um…

uh-oh.

i forget sometimes that i’m decended from gypsies.
i gotta watch what i say in the future.

bottom of the barrel?

SFxT
saw the SpOOky stream of the Big Two Tourney at NLA and without question…SFxT was not the highlight of the evening. the announcers were bored. i was bored. hell, it looked like even the players participating in the tournament were bored of cross.

yeah…
i won’t be missing Ono anytime soon.

good riddance.

may he never return. fingers crossed.

LOL@All the blind hate on “New” games XD as for the actual topic:

-MKvsDCU
-EVERY MK after MK4 possibly UMK3 even
-JP: Warpath
-War Gods
-The latest DBZ game that was just released were EVERYTHING is a QTE almost.

Kinda makes me wish for a “Dislike” option.

Street Fighter Alpha series. I cannot stand the gameplay of this game.

OMG I’ve been trying to figure out what this game was for almost 20 years!
Its been haunting me for forever and I came into this thread for the soul purposed of seeing if someone mentioned a game I didn’t recognize that turned out to be it.
I’ve only played this game at one place, a corner store that had it in an unmarked cabinet, where I played it almost every day for two weeks and it disappeared as mysteriously as it showed up. I’ve been searching arcades for it every since and never seen one other cabinet with this game. BTW graphically the game wasn’t that bad at all the only other thing that looked like that was MK.

I’ve only seen Survival Arts once in the wild. Back then my father and I took a lot of trips to Chicago, and I would head out to North Pier for the Battletech Center and the serious arcade that was also on that floor.

It’s so bad and obscure that there’s only one person uploading YT videos about it with less than 100 views each, and this is the only post so far on SRK even bear mentioning it.

Art of Fighting, Art of Fighting 2, Virtua Fighter 2 (GEN), Every Dragonball game, War Gods, Battle arena toshinden 3, Fighters History I’m sure there’s more I loath but I can’t focus.

If you hate Fighter’s History then you’ll hate Vampire/Darkstalkers.

I like art of fighting. The detail was great for the time, and the audio was leagues above anything else for a looooong time. Not to mention, character models took damage.

Fighters history i only like for one reason.

Mizoguchi… TIGAHBAZOOKATTACK!

That’s like saying if you hate Joy Mecha Fight, then you’ll hate Vampire Savior.
