NEW! VF4 CG screens!

I never said I liked DOA. It is actually the exact opposite. I hate it witha  passion. I am just saying the average nobody wont know how to counter, so wont be able to beat an experienced person.

VF is simply the greatest. I hate Tekken because you are able to mash so easily it makes me sick. DOA and Tekken both suck donkey balls in my opinion, and Soul Calibur too. I played them all for about 2 weeks and said hell no and returned to 1996 with VF3.

are you a basher or something. Try putting some tought in tekken. Try doing some combo\'s tekken has a very steep learning curve. I\'ve been playing for 2 years now and finally I can do the really hard stuff..

If you want bashing goto MvC2

MvC2 was good, until everyone learned the ultra gay upper cut (x infinity) thing. So stupid.

SF3:3 was the best 2D fighter so far.

Tekken still sucks. I own the first. Played TTT in the arcade extinsively. But You cant get into it when some little punk thats like 5 comes in and beats tyhe pants off of you when you haver been playing it for quite some time.

Quite gay.

Go mortal combat for the snes just kidding

I prefer DOA2 to anything.  I have played all the series but DOA2 is the most satisfying to me.

But what I have seen of DOA3 is not enough.  If I see more of DOA3 and like it, I will probably buy an X.

If I can live without it then I\'ll just wait until they port it over.  I can\'t imagine them not porting it no matter what they may say now.

I will buy Virtua Fighter 4.  When\'s it coming out?

MVC2 is fun for simple pointless gameplay. No self-respecting Street Fighter guru would find himself claiming and betting on that game.  Still, its a fun game to play .

In my opinion, the whole 3D fighters are sort of boring. Virtua Fighter kicks ass , somewhat. Tekken is fun, but seems to "random" for me. I like the game, don\'t get me wrong. I buy each one, but I have grown tired of them. Still, there is some skill required in Tekken, as I have been subjected to playing button mashers and beat them. And it is by no means easy to get a full 10 hit combo off alot of times.

On the other hand, the DOA series is button mashing. Sure, you can counter button mashers, but countering in that game is so easy its pointless. Take two DOA "gurus" (if there is such a thing with that series) and it will be nothing but countering. Lets face it, the game got popular because of the bouncing boobs..err..polygons.


Personally, in my opinion anything with automatic or pre-deterimed combos sucks ass. Killer Instinct? Blah. Mortal Kombat 3 and so on? Ugh! Chain Combo\'s are where its at. That is why Capcom makes the finest fighting games out there.

A good Street Fighter player will clean house with a button masher.

And if you want to talk about original fighting games ? Two game series come to mind.
Bushido Blade.
Tobal No 1 & 2.

so whos your man on SF, Clip?

Mine is Ken, still after all these years.

He is faster than Ryu. Plus he has the Underground combo (as my nickname within the circuit goes) which is really the Shoryuken, plus a normal uppercut and a hadoken, I cant be touched.

We have tourneys at my local arcade all the time, we get like 20 guys abotu every friday to come and we play for like 3 hours straight. Oh Yeah! Can\'t wait for SF4! anyone who thinks the SFs have gone stale doesnt play them!

I never got the chance to play Tobal 2.  I wasn\'t too crazy about Tobal 1 but it was a nice change.  So you want to talk old-school SF huh?  Well I\'m a Chun-Li man.

I would consider myself a DOA2 guru, and while countering is a major factor, as it stops endless Tekken-like combos, it also makes you as the aggressor mix your moves up to be more unpredictable.

I\'m surprised nobody has mentioned King of Fighters yet.  I think it\'s the greatest fighting series ever.

You know the team that made the Tobal series and The Bouncer are working on that new fighting game for Xbox called Kakuto-X?  I wonder if it will be any good, the videos for it are amazing.

of Course KoF is good, but it isnt an independent game. It is RBFF, FF, SS, WH, etc. A collection of fighters, very good, but not its own self.

and yes, I can hold my own in KoF too, take me on with Terry, I dare you

Ken, of course.

The Street Fighter series is nowhere near stale. Worst part of the series is some of the new characters they made. Some of them are just pretty damn lame.
Still, the gameplay can\'t be beat.
