Ten Years Gone? (List of games when Street Fighter was absent)

cvs2,capcom fighting jam,kof2006(yep I went there) naruto CON series,DBZ budokai 3,and def dam ffny

I hated FFNY. I don’t know why, but it just never sat right with me. My friend and I loved the original Def Jam. We played that shit for hours nearly every Saturday in 6th grade.

Big Bang Beat needs love

Maybe it’s due to the random framerate dropping/speeding up, unbalanced roster, random normals, Blazin moves limited to one per character for the sake of space, CAFs breaking the game, hybrid wrestling-fighting engine, or different KOs for each style.

Vendetta as a whole was a smoother, more polish game. People don’t like it it though cause it’s a wrestling game, where as FFNY has enough tweaks to the engine to be classified as a fighter.

Can u add Garou: Mark of the Wolves to the list? its a great game that deserves recognition as well

I seconded that motion too TheBastard… Rofl

Do you see KoF 99 on the list?

The list is not a bout giving games recognition, but pointing out the amount of games that where released during the supposed drought on FG’s that many SF4 fans like to say that happend

Garou received a port for dreamcast and ps2 on those years so i’d say it counts.

I said no ports.

Big Bang Beat (2007) and Guilty Gear Accent Core + (2007)

Aside from cvs2,mvc2 an sf3/a2 I loved playing the naruto clash of ninja games lol

Shit, the drought started round my way in 1997. Then there was a lil boom in 98 where everybody played KOF98:DM for leik, a month, than everybody went back to Final Fantasies and N64. Problem wasn’t that there was a slow down in the production of fighters, the drought , from me, was no body wanted to play.

The 10 year drought isn’t about there being no good fighting games released. It is about fighting games becoming a small niche genre that most casual gamers didn’t bother with. SF4 brought casual gamers back into fighting games, and as a result other titles like Blazblue, MVC3, etc could become smash hits.

That is hugely debatable.

This thread gets all of my yes. Thank you.

OT, you got two of the three characters in my MvC2 team as your avatar… Needs some Thanos love.

I only dabble in Marvel 2, but I like to pair them with Juggs or Blackheart. Thanos is not a bad choice, tho.

I’d really like to get gdlk at MvC2. It’s pretty much the only Marvel I like.

There’s an explosion and there’s an implosion. The implosion has already begun (could have been avoided), however, I don’t think it’s going to be that bad this go around.

Was that new-ish Def Jam for the Xbox/PS3 any good? I always see the case at Game Stop and the concept actually looked really cool.
