Poll: Best Fighting Game Series: Round 1
 

Pick your favorite competitive fighting game series. The winner of each matchup will move on to the next round, as will the top vote getter from the list at the end.

This is competitive fighting games only and does not include wrestling games, boxing games or side-scrolling fighting games like Double Dragon.

Ignore games like Mortal Kombat Mythologies and Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball that are in a listed fighting game series but are not themselves fighting games.

I'm sad that Virtua Fighter is losing when it is far and away my favorite series [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I got virtual fighter free with the saturn and that game rocked

Virtua Fighter vs. Marvel/Capcom is brutal.

Re: Poll: Best Fighting Game Series: Round 1
 

pretty much every option I voted for is winning right now which is awesome. I'm real pleased to see SF3 get some nods as it's probably my favorite fighter of all time.

king of fighters losing in the first round is beyond ridiculous

MvC >>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;> VF, not close.

Re: Poll: Best Fighting Game Series: Round 1
 

Killer Instinct for the sleeper win

Re: Poll: Best Fighting Game Series: Round 1
 

Virtua Fighter is the best 3D fighting series ever, and it's not close....Tekken is nowhere near. Soul Calibur II is awesome, but if you give VF time, you'll realize how deep its combat is.

It's tough to compare VF and MvC, they are two VERY different games. VF is probably the deepest, the one that you feel like you could play for your whole life and not master, therefore it chalks up the win.

MvC is a little too button mashey for my liking to be considered as good as VF.

Re: Poll: Best Fighting Game Series: Round 1
 

MvC (especially MvC2) is much more hardcore, though. People have gotten shot and lost their homes over matches. You just do not see that happen with VF players.

The hardest decision for me was the older SF series versus Guilty Gear. Pretty much the best 2D fighter of the 90s against the best current-day 2D fighter. GG is the more interesting game (I would hope!) but you need to be a [censored] robot to play that game well.

A button masher will never ever ever win against a good player.

Re: Poll: Best Fighting Game Series: Round 1
 

FX Fighter clearly the best ever.

j/k. But that praying mantis was kinda cool.
