Rodykitty Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) You mean Alpha 3? Alpha 3 is pretty popular. The beautiful thing about Hyper Fighting/Super Turbo though, is that it's actually not too technical of a game other than learning how to reversal. SF2 is about strategy and knowing your character and his tricks well. Heck, you don't even have to rely on long strings of combos to win, because most moves do good damage on their own individually, rewarding good strategy just as much as high risk.

Alpha 3 is good but it's worse than SF2, IMO. The collection one, with various versions of the characters, was AWESOME. Even Balrog(Boxer) would be REALLY awesome, I never imagined that.

grandjackal Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Don't forget the epic music it had too. As for guilty gear, there ARE tons of layers to it, but it's still fun casually underneath it and plays just like any other fighter game then. Just not as insane as the competitive stuff. Seriously, I think they have to be on crack to manage playing that game like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, 16-bit Mighty Wings *drools* Guilty Gear is very good, but the DS one suck MAJORLY. Another quite good fighting series is Art of Fighting, the third installment was specially good.

I was more a fan of Super Turbo's Blood on the pavement (Ken's Theme), and whatever the hell Zangief's theme was called...and M. Bison's...and Fei Long's...and Cammys...and E. Honda's...Super Turbo had an awesome soundtrack XD Art of Fighting....Isn't that a spin-off of the Fatal Fury storyline? Yes, Guilty Gear is quite good. Faust and Johnny rule you.

Mighty Wings is from Top Gun, y'know, the movie. SF2 ripped it off with Ken's Theme. Art of Fighting is several years before Fatal Fury. I prefer Sol and Slayer myself.

Rodykitty Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Alpha 3 is good but it's worse than SF2, IMO.I personally like Alpha 2 better than both, but ST definitely has amazing competitive staying power.Even Balrog(Boxer) would be REALLY awesome, I never imagined that.Balrog is Top Tier in Super Turbo, because he's just that good at getting in close and making sure you never live. Top Tier for all the right reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Turbo seems to be Daigo's best game. He is also synominous with Ryu as the character he usually plays as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never played it, but at least I know what it is. Sol and Slayer!? *eyes narrow, dramatic music plays* You are like my rival...and he killed my pet wombat...You walk the path of evil!

But in the KOF series, there is a a tie paradox, seeing as AoF is like 18 years before Fatal Fury, and the characters are in the same age.

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Mortal Kombat. Gotta love the blood, gore, and fatalities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Holy crap, I forgot about Soul Calibur. In that case, it's Smash Bros. > Calibur > SF for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Smash and then Soul Calibur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I used to play Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat like they were going out of style when I was just a kid. I haven't played either for quite a while. None of the other games on the list interest me. For others, I used to be a big fan of Tekken and Soul Calibur, but not so much any more. I used to play Marvel vs. Capcom 2 quite a bit even though I suck at it, but it's been a long time. Fighters just don't appeal to me anymore. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I CAN'T consider SSB as a serious fighting game, sorry. I might as well ask. Is it the characters, how it's played, the developer intention thing or something like the overall feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Probably Mortal Kombat, though Soul Calibur is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krevin Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Smash Brothers, by far. Soul Calibur comes in a close second. lolwut I see a lot of people saying that they have trouble considering SSB a fighting game. I can understand not considering Brawl a fighting game, since it's more of a "DON'T FALL OFF THE LEDGE I'M THROWING MY POKEBALLS AT YOU LOL KEEP UP WITH RUMBLE FALLS" type of game, but Melee and 64 are srs business.

It was too easy to send someone flying in that game. Edited January 27, 2009 by Black Luster Soldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torifae Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Fighting games are never my favourite genre. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Hero Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Smash Bros, although it's never been good. The physics were terrible enough to make the game unplayable to anyone who would like to use their brain at least once a match, and right when it gets the best physics of any fighting game, it gets horrible tier-centered, glitch-abusing metagames.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 How could Soul Calibur could not be listed on the poll? Anyways my vote goes to Mortal Kombat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
