Just wondering what people opinions are as to the best fighting games ever? My personal favourite are street fighter 2 turbo mortal kombat 9 and tekken tag tournament 2
I used to be really into fighting games back in the day. My favorites were MK2, tekken 2, and soul calibur 2 (wow 2s, a common theme). For the best ever, I'd feel the community would say SSFIV or MvC2 since they've been in the tournament scene for a while. For casual players, brawl or melee would be the best. For me right now, my favorites are Blazblue (i know, i'm late to the scene) and Persona 4 arena.
I think of smash bros the same way I think of the power stone games on the dreamcast. As party fighting games.
My favourite is always going to be Super Street Fighter 2 although I'm also a fan of championship/hyper/turbo. I basicly used to play those daily in the arcades then go home and play it on my snes. Been playing SF X Tekken lately which isn't bad at all but the originals were better balanced imho.
I am going to have to go with the original mortal combat for genesis. The IOS port is not so great though.
I'm not a massive fan of fighting games, some I enjoy watching more than playing. My list would be something like (in no particular order): Smash Bros series Mortal Kombat 3 & 9 SSF2T Power Stone 1 & 2 MvC 2 & 3
But you're getting a Wii U? Or you've already got one? If it's the former I'm prepared to dive in front of you at the checkout going "NOOOOO!" in a dramatic fashion.
