What's your favorite fighting game of all time?

[DarthGohan1]

Which fighting game is your favorite all-time?

And since we're all big fans of Nintendo here, and how great the games are, if you pick a Super Smash Bros. game, then I also ask: what is your favorite fighting game of all time that does not have "Super Smash Bros" in the title?

I like fighting games for the characters. So I just play through the solo modes of Street Fighter casually. Street Fighter 6 gave me everything I wanted out of a fighting game.

I'm unusually good at smash Brothers though and I can play it on a competitive level. I do have an issue with Ultimate because I feel like much of the roster is outright unfun to play against.

The series is leaning towards comeback mechanics and characters with a passive moveset being the best ones. (I don't even know what they were thinking when designing Min-Min).

I hope they dial back and put a little more thought back into the solo modes again. It's improving but not quite there yet.

I like the Mortal Kombat series mostly for the finishers.

Street Fighter 5 was my big intro to the genre and tbh I miss it! The fighting game community around it was amazing, EVO tournaments were sick, I like the cartoony and colorful art style, the V system was pretty simple, etc. I think 5 is better than 6 in its current state.

guilty gear strive, no contest. fun mechanics, really cool story, and some either queer or queer-coded characters make me love this game a ton!! ^_^

blazblue has my heart frfr. i don't play any of the games as much anymore (or fighting ones in general), but i spent a good chunk of my time playing them on my ps3.

Probably Smash Bros. Ultimate, though I’ve never considered myself a fan of fighting games.

hard to argue with a smash bros pick!

If I'm not picking a Smash game, Jump Force was unique. The concept of lots of your favorite anime characters being in the same game is just really cool. The graphics look great. It's a game that just felt fun to play, and that's coming from someone who doesn't care for the controls in many fighting games I've tried. Probably not going to happen but I'd love to see a sequel with more characters and a new story.

Never played Jump Force before, it looks neat. If you're into this kind of game and have a DS and want to play with more Jump characters, you should give one of these a try. They're only in Japanese, but pretty easy to figure out sine they're fighting games and you can find guides online. Jump Ultimate Stars actually has more playable characters than Jump force had. And I think graphics have held up pretty well to the test of time, even though it's on DS.

Nintendo: Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.

Non-Nintendo: My Hero One's Justice. I haven't played it in awhile though, and supposedly there's a sequel.

 

[Croconaw]

It has to be Smash Bros.

I’m not a fan of other fighting games!

 

[Asarena]

Well, if I'm picking a non-Super Smash Bros. game, then I guess I'd say Street Fighter II. I believe it's the only other fighting game I've played. I don't remember it that well, but I enjoyed playing it with my brother on the Sega Genesis when I was little
