cvs2 - This is the game that got me back into fighting games. I have a lot of fond memories playing this game at the arcade. My initial thought process when I first saw it was, “Wow, cool! Art of Fighting characters going against Street Fighter characters…Godlike!!”

mvc2- I got insanely addicted to this game. Probably the only real game that I went real deep in.

3s - I really like the parrying feature and the diversity in strategies.

SC2 / SC3 - I always had a lot of fun playing Soul Calibur,soul blade, etc.

Tekken 6 - The first Tekken game that I made an honest attempt to play competitively.

honorable mentions: killer instinct, primal rage, MKI - MKIII, virtua fighter 1 -3

and of course shaq-fu

Sarangha · 2012-02-22T22:57:44.000Z

-Street Fighter Alpha 3 for nostalgia reasons
-Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, close to perfection imho
-Guilty Gear XX AC had good times with friends playing the game, though I hated playing Slayer as a Millia player…
-SF2CE good memories when I was young

VF1,VF2,VF3,Last Bronx,GWED,DBZ Hyper Dimension,Powerstone & KOF99 were fighting games I played alone with the CPU and had a lot of fun lol.

-DBZ Hyper Dimension KOF99 were fighting games I played alone with the CPU and had a lot of fun lol.

me too, lol
as a honest fg, hyper fighting is the top for me. The game really deserves to be called a real time strategy
alpha 3, cvs2 and mbaa are special for me too. Learned almost everything about other games mechanics just playing those 3…
kof 97 and gg are games that really involved me because of the story mode

lists every single fighting game I own

Austin_QED · 2012-02-25T09:22:49.000Z

Melty Blood-Feels so right, every character is just so right, besides Nanaya, that broken mother fucker, and Aoko, that Oki monster, seriously, no one should have that good of an oki game.

DarkStalkers-I don’t give a fuck how bottom tier my Lilith is, I go In. Dat. Ass.

BB/GG-I don’t care how ‘divided’ the base is, I like both equally. (Okay, well, BB gets the edge for not being full of infinite bullshit like GG)

Street Fighter-Hate to say it, but 4 is my favourite, 3 can go suck a dick (The bullshit that is parry), 2’s random stun and damage calculator make me too salty.

Garou-If I played more, I would probably like it more.

KOF-Everything after 98, (not including 13) why do you exist?

Notable list of cannon fodder-AH3, TMNT, Gundam, Alpha series, EX series, Tekken.

Razentsu · 2012-02-25T12:26:10.000Z

Most notable favourites in alphabetical order:

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift
Calamity Trigger was my first real foray into fighting games, so I feel obligated to mention BlazBlue. BB:CS is improved from CT, so I mention it here instead. :3
… and mmm, the soundtrack, graphics and characters are delicious.

Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code
This game has everything. I love the pacing, movement, grooves, combos, characters, soundtrack, parries, meter options, and pretty much anything else. The game feels so fluid, so free-form. I haven’t played many actual matches yet, but this game is already one of my favourites. My favourite game in terms of design.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo
You already know how this game is. It’s the most pure and honest, traditional fighting game, next to Hyper Fighting.

Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition
No other game pisses me off as much as this game, but I still enjoy it. Ultras are a silly mechanic and characters like Seth and Viper are ridiculous, but the game is fun enough for me to overlook these things.

Other favourites:

CvS2, KoF2k2UM, MoTW, GGXXAC, SSBM, (lol)SSBB, Tekken 6 and Bushido Blade 2 :).

maziodyne · 2012-02-25T12:32:38.000Z

MvC, MvC2, MvC3, Alpha 3, ST, MSHvSF, Vanilla SF4… now I’m trying to find some way to get a copy of CvS2 because I know I’ve been missing out all this time. probably gonna get SFxT because I wanna try out Ibuki and Rolento.

shin_neferio · 2012-02-25T14:52:23.000Z

all this Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom love makes me warm inside!

lunch_hotdogs · 2012-02-28T01:05:23.000Z

Some of my other favorite fighting games (that I didn’t mention last time) are:

Capcom vs SNK 2
This game is still one of the best cross overs ever made to me. There was a decent cast of characters presented (though was still just SF and KOF mostly) and lots of variety. I loved that you could use whatever Groove you wanted to use and increased the variety even more. I might say the Gamecube/Xbox version might be a little bit better as they made P-Groove actually worth using.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo/Hyper Street Fighter II
Even though I haven’t like this game as much as I want to at times, this is still one of the best fighting games made. Even though Sirlin tried to balance the game, to me those changes made it worse overall (heck Hyper SFII is better in this regard). The original is still the best since we can use old and new characters, and game is just great. Now if only I can get the Dreamcast version, then I’ll be all set for my ST fix

Gundam Battle Assault 2 (PS1)****
This game came out late in the PS1’s life span and served to promote the USA release of G Gundam (one of my fav Gundam series ^_^), However, this is a kick ass fighting game. They fixed all the problems of the first game (3rd really) and made the game better. We have a diverse cast of characters from the Universal Century, Wing universe, and G Gundam universe. I like how you have everything you need at the start of the match, so you can potential do some sweet damage.

We need to play some of these. I don’t have GBA2 anymore though. Do you?

xDREADxKICK · 2012-03-03T07:20:12.000Z

probably turbo

deadlotus · 2012-03-03T08:30:19.000Z

3rd Strike, Darkstalkers, MVC2, CVS2, VF4, and how about this: Fighter’s Destiny for the N64. Surprisingly good. If the stages were larger, the “1pt for ringout/1pt for successful throw/2 for KO/3 for ult KO first to ___ pts wins” concept would be used a lot more. Even as it stands it’s really good especially considering when it was made and the fact that the N64 was not much of a fighting game system.

Krusiv · 2012-03-03T08:56:26.000Z

Star Gladiator

Stoogie · 2012-03-05T07:04:20.000Z

been lovin myself some darkstalkers chronicles on psp (which is the first 3) recently

Alenth · 2012-03-05T07:15:19.000Z

I totally forgot about Real bout 2, one of best Fatal Fury games.

EDIT: and Last Blade 2, <3 Hibiki and Akari

Tebbo · 2012-03-05T07:16:19.000Z

Luxeon · 2012-03-05T08:10:41.000Z

VSav is my favorite by far, but I enjoy pretty much all 2D fighters.

SSJ_Sonikku · 2012-03-05T18:36:10.000Z

We need to play some of these. I don’t have GBA2 anymore though. Do you?

I would love to play those games with ya! Yes, I do have GBA2 still.

Cool. I think there might be a casuals session this Friday coming up. Probably mostly going to be SFxT, though I can bring a small TV if you bring a PSX/PS2 so we can play some Gundam.
