lolz. i would personally put guilty gear at #3. say what you will about street fighter but for a whileGG was single handedly serving as life support for 2d fighting for a while, while 3d fighting remained as painfully mediocre as always. i cant deny 3d fighting has blossomed into its own genre with its own intricacies though; i just dont care for it.

smash brothers, conversely,is about on par with mario party imo.

No SSB? Score!

No DOA? Awww that's not cool.

King of Fighters should rank higher.

[QUOTE="IronBass"] Anyone can button smash in a lot of so'considered fighting games :|Aljosa23

In Brawl and to some extent, Melee, it all depends on the items and how lucky you get. It's shame how the Mario Kart franchise was casualized aswell.

It's no coincidence that the "competitive" SSBM community played items off and only on final destination.

only on final destination.

Wtf, I'm tired of casuals spouting BS like this. Go to a smash tournament before saying something stupid like this, or atleast watch some competitive matches (except Japanese ones, the onlystages they use is FD and Dreamland, even in friendlies).

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="DumbDubya"] It's so juvenile and not a real fighting game. juno84

Well, I think a lot of people don't consider Smash series a fighting game. It has nothing to do with the how good the game is, it has to do with if the game fits into the fighting genre. A lot fighting game players will tell you it doesn't and a lot of smash players will say it is. I really don't know.

Smash Brothers is too much fun to be considered a fighting game.

I kind of agree with that (fighting games not being very fun). Fun isn't the primary reason I enjoy fighting games, competition is.

Personally Tekken=SF >>> Soul Calibur ... haven't played the other ones, although MK was played a long long time ago. navstar29

I also go back and forth between Tekken and SF in it's many forms.

I also.. for some reason, got really good at Bloody Roar (the older ones)

I kind of agree with that (fighting games not being very fun). Fun isn't the primary reason I enjoy fighting games, competition is.

A competitive game is competitive first and fun as secondary. If you were to go play CS 1.6 for the first time and join some random pub (can't even imagine a scrim or actual match), you'd get annihilated. Losing generally is not fun, and some games, fighters included, can be ruthless. Unless you are a competitive person, getting over the hump where you can even participate at a satisfactory level can be quite an endeavour.

Fans of other fighting games are scared of Smash. They cheer whenever it doesn't get its deserved recognition as the best fighting game series of all time. :lol:

Face it you Tekken purists, you Soul Calibur fanboys and you Street Fighter elitists. Smash has more depth and content than every game in your precious series. :twisted:

A game with out even high/low blocking probably does not have as much depth as you think.

Why? All that amounts to is another guessing game, and one that's usually heavily biased in favor of the attacker. Brawl's defensive options are simpler, but more balanced and far preferable to most other fighting games IMO.

Tekken at #8 is absolutely criminal. The most popular 3D fighter on the planet and they put it at #8. Unfathomable. They claim to be judging franchises, yet they say Samurai Showdown (a game I have rarely heard) only had 1 good game but they still give it #3! Ridiculous. The Top 3 franchises are Tekken, Virtua Fighter, and Street Fighter. Period.TheGrat1

Depends on your region. I'd say Capcom is the biggest in the US. KoF was pretty big in some regions. Tekken is number one in Japan w/ Blazblue at a close second. I'm not sure about Samurai Shodown. It's been a while since I've played it.

100% agree. I disagree with your first statement. There are tons of fighters with more complex system mechanics than just VF and SF. Guilty Gear has some of the most complex mechanics out there.

samurai showndown and guilty gear should be in the top 5

[QUOTE="juno84"]

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"] SBB has more depth than almost any fighter out their, SF and VF are the only ones that have that level of depth. But having depth doesn't mean the game is better or worse.

Smash creator called it a sports game, so its not a fighting game, unless you know better then the creator. :o110million

Its a stretch to say Smash Bros. is in the exact same genre as SF, KoF, VF, or Tekken. In the latter game, the goal is to reduce your opponents health to zero. In Smash your goal is to knock people off the board the most in a set amount of time, ir until they have no lives left. Smash is more of a beat em' up/brawler than it is a traditional fighting game. That being said its insanely fun and the best Brawler series ever no question. And if you listen to the begining of the atrocious list, they are only listing 1 on 1 fighting games.TheGrat1

It's just a different health system.

And GT may not have heard, but competitive Smash is 1-on-1. ;)

But it doesn't matter. I think we can all agree this list isn't very good.

The list is half good half bad.

The good:

• Acknowledging Guilty Gear as a great fighter.
• No mention of Dead Or Alive.
• No mention of super smash bros.

The bad:

• Tekken #8 WTF? worse than Soul Calibur? are they serious?
• Virtua Fighter #2, oh yeah thats better than Tekken, in your dreams.
• Samurai Shodown lol, they joking right? RIGHT?
