Best Fighting Game Series?

What does GB think the best fighting game series is, and why?

I grew up on Mortal Kombat 2, so my vote goes to the Mortal Kombat series.

I say The King of Fighters(see mi profile) beacuse is what i like, but i enjoy the street fighter series. some guilty gear too.

Street Fighter Alpha...I just like it.

Nominee: River City Ransom
Why?: You can hit dudes with trash cans. Amongst other things. And by that I don't mean your penis.

I enjoy DBZ Budokai 3

I've always really loved the Soul Calibur series.

King of Fighters, back in my day ( the day the arcade was still alive) i was a Street Fighter fan like everyone else but then i saw a neogeo cabinet, play KoF and oh man. 2003 is my fav of them all. looking forward to KoF XIII and is hi-res sprite but that until 09.

the Marvel vs. Capcom series. All of them where awsome.

If you were asking for favorite series..than all these others could be correct but Street Fighter owns the fighting genre period.MK only has gained more revenue than SF because they made 3 this millenium and Capcom hasn't made a new SF since '99.Street Fighter 2 alone sold more than MK 1-4 combined.

Virtua Fighter

Powerstone and Marvel vs. Capcom...I can't choose between the two, but they are definitely my top two.

Street Fighter for me

Guilty Gears and Mortal Kombat

Tekken or Soul Calibur in my opinion. The first 3 Dragonball Z Budokai games on PS2 were really good also.

I liked the DOA series and I really love Marvel vs Capcom 2 wasted so many hours with that game.

Tekken and Soul Calibur for me.

I'm a huge Dead or Alive fan and consider it the best series.

Either Soul Calibur or Smash Bros.

I love almost all fighting games.The only ones I don't play is MK,Clay Fighter,War Gods,Tattoo Assassins,you know the bad ones.

Virtua Fighter

What about Primal Rage or Killer instinct I had the black cartridge that was bundle with the console. I love CCCCCOOOMMMBBBOOO BREAKER.

Street Fighter II - I dumped hundreds if not thousands of quarters into this series.
Soul Caliber - I think this is one of the funnest of the newer fighting games.

Soul Calibur

Virtua Fighter or mortal kombat

Mortal Kombat. The first one is the first game i ever played so i kinda grew up with the series.

Mortal Kombat, Best ever

King of Fighters for me.

Tekken especially Tekken 3 the best fighting game ever IMO.

Tekken, Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter

I would have said Tekken a year ago but now that Street Fighter is coming back I'll go with that one.

Tekken,i first played Tekken 2 on a demo disk that came with my playstation and practiced with Jun non stop.Didn't play tekken 3 and 4 was kinda flat but Tekken 5 came up trumps and is imo the best fighting game ever created.

I'm not familiar with enough fighting games to really pass judgment but I like Streets of Rage although it's really a brawler and not a fighter.

I can't really decide. I think most that grey up on fighters such as MK and SF would say one of those. its kind between Mk and SF2 for me.

Marvel vs Capcom

Guilty Gear.

I used to be untouchable on MK2. Not one person in my whole city could beat me. I have impeccable timing for Uppercutting/Roundhousing incoming airborne opponents. With that said, i can't say I own as much on say Killer Instinct or Street Fighter 2 and 3... but i am still good and am just as much in-love with them.  So, i can not choose between these 3 franchises.

One a side-note: I do believe that Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is the best Fighter ever made... i mean, look at it... it's an amazing game made over 10 years ago, that still nothing can hold a candle to. I am kind of sad that Capcom is noobifying SF4, but it may not be so bad... I'm sure I'll live.

I don't believe-in 3D Fighters... unless they're on a 2D plane.

Tekken and Dead or Alive

Marvel vs. Capcom, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat. And to whoever mentioned Clay Fighter: You just brought back so many memories.

Street fighter hands down... SHORYUKEN!!!!
So much depth... specially in SF:3S

Here's my top 10 list.

1. Street Fighter.

2. Mortal Kombat .

3. Capcom VS Street Fighter. 

4. Dead or Alive.

5. Soul Calibur.

6. Killer Instinct.

7. X-Men vs. Street Fighter.

8. Darkstalkers.

9. Fatal Fury.

10. Guilty Gear.


 

I like tekken.

i love tekken and MK. but i have to give my vote to streetfighter

Smackdown vs Raw and Mortal Combat

Teken

I'm going with Tekken

I would have to say Tekken, but Street Fighter, Soul Calibur and DOA are all great series as well.

Tekken Tag Tournament
