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

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?

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.

Luxeon · March 5, 2012, 8:10am

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

SSJ_Sonikku · March 5, 2012, 6:36pm

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

lunch_hotdogs · March 5, 2012, 6:37pm

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.

Axl_m4ster · March 5, 2012, 9:21pm

yes u have & then sum.

SSJ_Sonikku · March 6, 2012, 1:01am

Oh sweet, I didn’t know you where in BU like me. I’ll definitely bring my PS2 Slim with me plus the GBA2 and memory card (for the characters). I might bring in another game as well, not sure what though.

lunch_hotdogs · March 6, 2012, 1:05am

Nick… It’s M1x4H from PSN… I came a few weeks ago and met you… and just brought a bunch of people (Mubariz, Jacky, John) to PA last Friday… Hi, yeah, that’s me.

SSJ_Sonikku · March 6, 2012, 1:09am

Ah yes, now I remember ya! Didn’t know lunch_hotdogs was also you. Ok along with GBA2, I think I’ll bring Capcom vs SNK 2 if ya want ^_^.

lunch_hotdogs · March 6, 2012, 1:11am

I’ll do CvS2 as well. I have no good PS2 stick though. I have a Mayflash.

SSJ_Sonikku · March 6, 2012, 1:12am

I see. For me, Sega Saturn pad FTW (yes I can use it on PS2)!

Havatchu · March 6, 2012, 1:15am

I’m pretty much a virgin compared to you guys.

Have only played SF2, Tekken Tag, MvC2, Tekken 4, Virtua Fighter 4, CvS2, SCII, SC III, SSFIV, MK9, and KOF XIII

Of those I would say my favs are CvS2, VF4, MK9 and KOF XIII. There’s plenty of oldies I’m sure I would like. Looks at Third Strike.

There’s probably some others I forgot, but if I couldn’t remember them then they obviously weren’t some of my favs.
