Tekken 4 was a favourite of mine, but soul calibur 2 is owns the crown.
just check out Nightmare and his soul egde sword
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by c0dec(m): 10:12pm On Jan 03, 2007
SF is the undoubted king of fighting games.

best character? that's hard. i prefered the shotokan dudes (ryu, ken, akuma). vega's my trump card.
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Owoayo(m): 10:14pm On Jan 03, 2007
"Mortal Kombat Apocalypse" is the best fighting game of all time
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by gbadex1(m): 12:38am On Jan 04, 2007
SF and its series
Killer Instinct [on Nintendo]
Tekken 4
Soul Calibur2 (especially the one on Xbox)
Dead Or Alive3 [the xbox version]
MK
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Lush: 6:32am On Jan 04, 2007
Echowords, i have a soft spot for Soul Calibur but till this day, i'm yet to find a challenger who can beat me using Nightmare tongue

c0dec, you have a point there with the sf series, but Vega? Your trump card? Dude, i'll open up a can of whoop a*se ! cheesy

Owoayo, Mortal Kombat used to be the bomb, until they went 3d and ruined everything with insane moves. Although they've stayed true to their culture. Personally, i wouldn't get the game if i had spare change undecided

, and gbade.x, dude, thats quite a collection you've got there except for MK and Killer instinct. Sure, they're classics but KI went overboard with insane combos but that was the appeal in it. wink

u just havent been to the right place. we usually have tornaments at my former side surulere, u wont stand a chance.
Alot of soul carlibur pros use Nightmare, so u would meet a lot of competition.
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Gamine(f): 1:47pm On Jan 04, 2007
ooh i luvvvvv Dead or Alive3. d only problem, it was too easy
I like soul caliber
but for all tym, Street fighter and KI afta that, MK

ive never reli been a tekken fan
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by strongarm1(m): 2:49pm On Jan 04, 2007
@gamine you a lady after my heart!!!! you definately game, you so cool grin I love SF and Mortal combat but Tekken i love the most, its all in the combos right? lol
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Gamine(f): 2:54pm On Jan 04, 2007
thank u, Strongarm
          but the name is GAMINE not gemini, whts the frigging similarity
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Lush: 9:38pm On Jan 04, 2007
You have a point there echowords but i honed my skills based on speed & difficult counters, i always see his moves coming cool

Dude (strong_arm), Tekken isnt about the combos, you sound like one of 'em guys that focus on 10hit strings. Even those can be countered. grin

By the way, i use Ivy on Soul Calibur and Kazuya on Tekken angry

only one fighting game can generate this kind of chaos:

@Lush: know why i think SF2 turbo is probably is the best? you can't underestimate any character, even dhalsim? my vega (SF2 turbo) will kick your as$.
i also really like the alpha series. the one on PSP kicks as$! i'm yet to play SF3: 3rd strike. seems it's only available in Japan & US for the PS2 (collectors edition - i think). the only other option i have is to find a CPS-3 board which is a hard/expensive task.

yo @codec I hope you know Vega is a bottom-tier character in Turbo. He's great and all that, but unfortunately is fatally flawed in real tournament play. Ive seen many exceptional vega's put up a wonderful fight but at the end of the day you will be frustrated by the poor balancing. Sorry but Vega will lose against a competent shotoscrub, Gief spinner ,dhalsim pro or guile turtle

Also the fact that you said 'even dhalsim' when talking about turbo shows that you probably havent seen the pros playing that game yet. Dhalsim is a TOP-TIER character in turbo, so you shouldnt mention him and the word 'underestimate' in the same breath. In 9ja we dont have many dhalsim players but watch oline tournaments and youi'[ll see why he is one of the top characters. I repeat though- vega is bottom tier. known fact worldwide.





@lush

Just responded to your ps3 thread. seems like ure a correct guy. I have been playing sc2 on 360 by myself for a while and could not find ONE person who plays it seriously. What you said (tournaments, etc) gives me hope! Anyway back in the day SC1 was all the rage in DreamCast houses around the ikeja/ogba area and what I can tell you is if you consider yourself a pro, drop that cheapo nightmare and use a REAL character. Like calling yourself a sf pro and then saying u only use shin akuma. Come on! small time now you go talk say your cervantes is unbeatable. Tell me your Ivy is top tier and then we can talk (after my Sophitia makes her beg for mercy)


Finally my favourite fighting series is streetfighter (of course. Old skool brew For the true funk soldiers) And my top game in the series is a tie between sfa3 (which I have on psp), sfa2 and sf2 turbo
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by echowords(m): 4:51pm On Jan 09, 2007
@ DMZ
Its Sad u havent seen anyone who plays soul carlibur seriously, Though u chat wit them.

What u said about watching online tournaments.

In Nigeria we don't have many dhalsim players but watch oline tournaments and youi'[ll see why he is one of the top characters

where can i watch that ? Certainly not XBlive. and where do u buy ur 360 CDS. these dudes are telling me 15grand for fifa 07. its crazy!!!
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Lush: 8:49pm On Jan 09, 2007
@ echowords
Why not try getting your games via order bay? You get to pick the region you want and it even gets sent to you via DHL! Big ops grin

@ dakmanzero
You talking to me? You trying to start something up in here with Sophia? You want me to mop the floor with her? angry Bring it on gramps, too bad SC isnt online yet (hopefully, it'll be on the PS3) but if you get a PS3 and a copy of SC4 (coming out later this year), look out for the profile "The-Lush". I'll be the dude beating everybody up with my interlocking sword tongue
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by marhoatumu(m): 3:01pm On Jan 11, 2007
i'm not really into fighting games( more of rpg, adventure and driving)but if i were to choose, i would be capcom vs snk 2.the speed and rapid motion are enough to keep anyone on their toes and the combos are awesome. i tend to favour the snk characters
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by ekpomento(m): 3:22pm On Jan 12, 2007
my best game mortal kombat 3
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by c0dec(m): 11:51am On Jan 13, 2007
@yo dakmanzero


u misunderstood me, when i said even dhalsim. i was assuming Lush was less familiar to SF than most. most sf beginners think dhalsim as the weakest and i was clearing that fact.


watch this video of vega vs. dhalsim on youtube. two top players sluggin it out. but then again this is me vs Lush not me vs some uber internet pro (no offence, Lush)
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Lush: 6:47pm On Jan 13, 2007
None taken but assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups  angry Dude, i've been through the entire learning curve with SF and i know Dhalsim is no slouch but i repeat, i don't think vega's got game  grin In fact, i think the flash master will suit your vega if my blanka doesnt irritate the bejezus out of you  grin Even darkmanzero knows you'll have a hard time wooping a*se in a tournament. See ya around mate,
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by c0dec(m): 12:25pm On Jan 14, 2007
ok ok, yes, guile is the ultimate, i'll probably stand no chance against a guile expert, but i'll handle your blanka. anyway, i'm past my prime now. havent played turbo in a while. tried via emulation, but the feedback i get through my current controller isn't tops. been playing RPGs instead.
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by echowords(m): 6:39pm On Jan 14, 2007
Guile is slow, u wouldn't stand a chance against any good player.
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Gamine(f): 8:08pm On Jan 14, 2007
wiv u usin Guile, i'll beat u Perfect wiv Chun Li cool
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by c0dec(m): 9:04pm On Jan 14, 2007
echowords:

Guile is slow, u wouldn't stand a chance against any good player.

it's turbo we're talking about kid. if you're actually 18, then it means you were like 5 when i started playing SF. why don't you go play tekken like your peers smiley

Gamine:

with u usin Guile, i'll beat u Perfect with Chun Li cool

ok dear, whatever you say.
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by echowords(m): 12:27am On Jan 15, 2007
@codec
man whats wrong with u ? i am just telling u my opinion.
i will still whoop ur ass even if i was 5.

peace
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Lush: 4:51am On Jan 15, 2007

Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by dakmanzero(m): 12:38pm On Jan 15, 2007
@echowords

Its ok for u to claim 'Guile is too slow' over here with your family, but PLEASE do not say it outside, eh? It completely destroys your credibility, honestly. No sane sf player will deny the power of Guile. Guile has consistently been the top tier player in every version of SF2, despite capcom continuously crippling and de-powering him till they finally gave in and removed him completely with SF zero. If you have any doubts about the power of Guile, search the net for the TZW videos. Did u notice how c0dec didnt bother claiming his character would beat guile? Thats the mark of someone who *knows* street fighter. Some players are top-tier, and guile and dhalsim ruled the arcades for years. I personally cannot use dhalsim, but facts are facts.


@Gamine

Chunners is my favourite character, but she aint top-tier. Capcom is sexist cheesy. I switch to Ryu whenever a good guile player shows up, even though Ryu isnt quite in the same league as Guile he's close enough that I can beat most Guile players in 9ja cos we dont know the true power of Guile over here!


@lush

You are correct. Vega is bottom tier, so even Blanka will own him.

@c0dec

Vega is so low in sf rankings that it is futile mastering him. Many videos exist on the 'net to prove certain things, and a vega vs dhalsim video to PROVE that vega can stand up to the dhalmaster shows how extraordinary it is that such a thing can even be concieved. Whoever was using vega is obviously by far more skilled than the dhalsim player if he can even hold his own. Sorry but capcom doesnt like vega. He has too may damage penalties, he dazes too fast, his hit windows are too short, his moves can be cancelled by mere screen scrolling, he remains in hitstun too long, he has no s.u. invincibility frames with which to reverse or wake up, his backflip is broken, his blockstun has penalties, he does damage too slowly, his comboregulation is too strict, DUDE!!!!!! VEGA SUCKS OKAY!!!!!! cheesy
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by echowords(m): 7:25pm On Jan 15, 2007
I know guile is strong, believe me i ve seen what dat guy can do. what i meant is, Guiles moves depends on timing, like holding back for two secs. if u aint really skilled at using guile not just any sf player.u wouldn't get in the last secound fire ball that draws the line btw victory and defeat. the guy is strong i am not saying his weak just timing.

@codec
guy i feel u,i am just trying to get my point through,no hard feelings.
{Not 18 not 21 either}
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by Gamine(f): 8:47pm On Jan 15, 2007
Yeah Guile isss Strong cool
But Vega??, Lawd hav mercy on those who use him!!! cheesy
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by c0dec(m): 11:23pm On Jan 15, 2007
@echowords
no hard feelings.

@dakmanzero
even if he has all those weakness, it still boils down to the user. that's what i was trying to prove with that youtube link.
Re: Best Fighting Game Of All Time? by dakmanzero(m): 1:00pm On Jan 20, 2007
@codec

It boils down to the user, but even you will beat Micheal schumacher on the grand prix if you'[re driving a ferrari and he's riding a BMX bicycle (with all his strength). The tool is also important.


@echowords

Dude. If you believe the 2 secs charging has ANYTHING at all to do with Guile's strategy then you seriously need to find some real competition and fast. You know how it feels like the computer cheats and does not charge? REAL guile players play that way. Fear the walking sonic boom and know why Guile is king!
