Street Fighter, in many ways, pays homage to Hokuto no Ken.
lol, thats true, maybe is not based on an anime directly, but is obvious that it has been influenced on it
lol what is the fighter shown briefly with the chocobo?
LMAO @ the curleh mustache reference, good shit.
Bad shit to comparing GG to Darkstalkers series, they need a swift slap for that one. Disgraced.

Yeah. I think the Shoryuken was based off of something from that show, and then of course there’s the more obvious stuff like Honda’s Hyakuretsu Harite.

I’m surprised samurai showdown made it so high on the list
Im surprised that you are surprised by that. Maybe you dont know all things about the serie so you cannot see overall value it carries. But then again I know people who are surprised that Street Fighter made so high on the list, because they thought Mortal Kombat should be there
that game will be in top 10 anime fighters for sure
…oh wait
That was amazingly well done. I don’t agree with the list one way or another. Its all really a matter of taste, but I was really impressed with their understanding of fighting games.
When they said it takes years to truly determine the balance and value of a fighting game, that really showed they knew what was up.

Any list that doesn’t have SF and Tekken as the top 2 is kidding itself. These are the two games that have done more for the genre and the community. I don’t mean they are the best or even my favorite, but they are the two that people actually play and without these games, our genre would be dead.
If you want to break down the “best.” From a craftsmanship standpoint, VF is #1 and GGXX is #2. Sega-AM2 and Arc puts the most time, care, and thought into balancing and fine tuning their game while trying to innovate. Of course, it is easier to do that when you have 3-5 versions of every VF and 5 versions of GGXX. But since Tekken 5 was released, Tekken has really picked up the slack in fine tuning their franchise.
SNK games should be well represented on either list because SNK has come up with more innovations than any other 2d company. Of course, weather the games are any good or not is a different discussion and I expect to have a million SNK fanboys trying to tell me how amazing SNK games are and how bad Capcom games are :razzy: For the most part the formula has been SNK comes up with a great idea, and another company (usually Capcom, sometimes Arc) gets the fame for it.
MagManiac: I’m not sure why you are so insulted that he compared GGXX and Darkstalkers. The similarities are there. GGXX is pretty much a bastard child of Darkstalkers and Samurai Shodown.
^^Darkstalkers is more like a monster mash. GG is more metal. Get your facts straight.
Shows how much the casual players know…
Aside from Tekken possibly being moved up a little, I think the list has it right for the most part. I would definitely give Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter the top two spots, seeing as VF popularized the 3D fighting genre, and SF popularized the fighting genre as a whole.
It’s kind of sad that the VF series doesn’t get as much love outside of Japan, because in my opinion, it is one of the most technical and balanced series of fighting games around. It’s most likely because in the US Sony’s consoles were far more popular than Sega’s consoles, and thus, many more people have played Tekken here than VF. I used to be a hardcore Tekken fan, but after getting into the VF series, I’ve been more of a VF fan since.
Now if Sega would hurry and make a VF5R console version…

just a reminder since in previous post people talked about how arc used ideas from old snk games, Arc System Works was funded by ex Snk members knew as Team Neo Blood, they made The Last Blade 1 & 2, so imo its not that rare that they used some ideas that we already saw in old snk games
You know that is what I hear. Then again I heard that SvC Chaos was done by Fatal Fury team, so I need more concrete information. WHO exactly are these people, and WHEN they moved around, if that information is present, it’d be a lot easier for me to follow them(more importantly their games).

i dont know if they participated in other games, before the last blade 1 & 2, it could be possible, but i would be laying right now if i say that they made other games with snk
I always thought of GG as a better version of Marvel but without tag team.
(Not even close…)
Is anyone actually angry over GT’s retardation? Their top 10 FPS list is also dumb as fuck: they list story-shooters like DOOM on the list, and refuse to put shooters like Quake 3, Tribes, HL:DM and its mods, and other good FPSes on their top 3 slots, opting to put shitty games like Halo on it. But oh well, game reviewers are usually fucking retarded.
Those guys obviously don’t play enough fighters anyway. I’d put a lot of retarded doujin fighters above a lot of their list. Even Little Fighter 2 (yeah, I said it) is better than some of the fighters they have on that damned list (definitely better than MK).
Somebody missed the point
