    Why did you put Soul Calibur into a series, but not so the same for any of the others?

    I don't like a lot of fighters, but the Mortal Kombat reboot is amazing (from the demo) and that maybe will be my favorite.

    @DeeGee: The main reason is I dont know what the best Soul Caliber games are, and adding all of them would make this giant poll even bigger. So I decided to put the series into one choice.

    Noticeable lack of some games here.  Plus I don't quite get why some games were grouped in as a 'series' and others were more listed out, but, whatevs.  I voted Shaq Fu since, why not.

    Fighting game fans aren't voting on this thing apparently. I'm not seeing any votes for Guilty Gear series, Street Fighter 3, Street fighter Alpha 3, MvC2, or Capcom Vs. SNK 2. Personally my favorite right now is SSF4, but that may change when Mortal Kombat hits shelves.

    SFIV is what got me really into fighting games, and it definately deserves it's cred even though it obviously has issues. I would have to say though, that the game that I enjoy playing most would be Super Smash Bros., but many people don't call that a fighting game. I still like it, because you can keep a more casual attitude and it's easier not to get salty while in SF and MvC and other "hardcore" fighting games, one dropped input is enough to raise the rage level to maximum.  
     
    I'm just gonna vote SSFIV and be done with it. I could argue with myself for hours about this. It's most likely the "wrong" opinion to have, because I know the hard love some people feel for SF2 and 3, but for me, it's SF4.

    Still no votes for 3s or CvS2 :( 
     
    Poll is very, very difficult to answer. I went with SSFIV, not necessarily because I do feel it's the best, but it's the game that I am most able to comment on because I've sunk hundreds and hundreds of hours in to playing and learning about that game. 
     
    Third Strike needs some love though, fo serious :(

    tekken 3 and tag tournament are classics. they're probably much more nub friendly than your street fighters or whatever but i love 'em regardless.

    I don't really know much about those games, but how differently do they all play? They seem fairly iterative on the same ideas.
     
    For something like the Street Fighter games, they all play very differently, all the gameplay systems are very different etc from title to title. 
     
    Naturally, I'm biased, being primarily a Street Fighter player though.

    The current results are incredibly saddening for a multitude of reasons.

    • No votes for CvS2
    • GG has same amount of votes as BB
    • SSF4 is current leader
    • Shaq Fu does not deserve a single vote. Seriously, its not funny.

    Either Alpha 3, 3rd Strike or SSF4. 
     
    Basically, any modern iteration of SF.

    I think this probably would have been better off if you said best fighting series: Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Kinf of fighters, etc. I mean you could technically list every year of king of fighters or I could also say my favorite one is the one year you left out.

    @LordXavierBritish: I've never understood all the complaints about Smash Bros myself. As for it being simple I'd say the basics of street fighter are a lot easier to pick up.

    I prefer simulation fighting games such as Fight Night and EA's MMA over arcade fighters like these. Out of the above probably UMK3 because it brings back fond memories.

    Soul Caliber 2 or Tekken 5 would probably be my choice. I chose Tekken 3 due to limiting options.

    There isn't a single Virtua Fighter game, not even the token "series" card.  That's pretty sad.
     
    No surprise that SSF IV is the lead, as that's probably what most people on this site have sunk time into, and surprisingly Mortal Kombat isn't getting love

    The amount of people who think Street Fighter is better than Guilty Gear saddens me.  Not saying they're wrong, just saying that I disagree with them and it makes me sad for the future of the style of fighting games I enjoy.
