This game, no, this series was so fucking kewl.
Chess is the only balanced game…
Nah, Black pieces are top tier.
Third strike is the most balanced fighting game of all time
FUCK YOU! I was hoping I’d be the first to say it!
…but seriously, Shaq fu was pretty solid.
In Shaq fu Shaq was broken…
Virtua Fighter series, since forever.

As much I love 3s, the game doesn’t have a perfect balance, Sean is pretty unplayable in a competitive scenario, 12 and Elena being solid low makes their learning curve a hell, not to mention Chun, Yun, and lately, Makoto being solid TOP, I still think 3s is the best fighting game out there.
SFIV has a very good balance, GGXXAC isn’t balanced, but all the cast is viable.
GGAC is balanced, the lows are considered low only because they have the major part of their matchups on disadvantage, yet basically all of them are 6:4
the Tops don’t dominate and even when almost all of their matchups are in their favor they aren’t that bad, neither are beyond 6:4
There arent helpless matchups, and the worst are around 7:3 (around 3 maybe 4) and they are still debatable, if that is not balanced, then i don’t know what do you consider a balanced game.
Well I do agree with your statement, but in the context of “perfect balance” GGXXAC isn’t the most balanced game, it IS balanced though, so, my bad.
Even if the game has good balance, Eddie, Test and Slayer just kinda storm some matchups, even so, I just don’t want #R messing with the balance, I love the game just the way it is.
I play Test by the way, fake roman EXE beast is nasty.
Chun Li can win with 
:hp: , n.:hp: , :d::mk: xx SAII and kara-throw.
Hell no. If you wanted to point out the most balanced GG, it’s definitely GGXX/. More than half the cast were B tier. The S-tiers, Sol and Ky, were amazing, but they didn’t have 6-4 match-ups against most of the cast like AC Eddie or Testament do. Also, the C-tiers were more than competitive. Many of the 7-3 matchups that exist in AC are 6-4 or 6.5-3.5 in XX/. Only the Robot failed the balance test, being the only D-tier for a reason.
KOF13 is the most balanced game as of now. SSF4 before AE and AE 2012 was the most balanced SF4 iteration imo. I mean, 4 characters(Chun, Dictator, Honda, and Cammy was it?) were named “best on the game.” Thats a little too much don’t you think?
The rest of he cast can win with there attack buttons too,
The most balanced fighting game ever…
DIVEKICK!!!
Why are we back to characters? Wasn’t it established a page back that what matters most is playstyle balance and not characters?
Garou
She has easy inputs, but she isn’t easy to play.
And way too parry-able, is hard to not get predictable with Chun.
Back with MvC2, I think the game is pretty balanced if you only consider S and A tier lol
Scrub>Thrax>MSP>Scrub>Thrax>MSP>Scrub>Thrax>MSP>Scrub… :eek:
As was mentioned earlier, even with the (relatively) small number of viable characters, MvC2 has arguably the most number of viable playstyles of any 2D fighter in existence.
Clock in the middle and we have a deal
