tekken tag

it's basically tekken 3 with better graphics and every tekken character invented at the time

only downside for me was the lack of story and cgi cutscenes, but the gameplay was great IMO

It's nearly impossible to divide 2D and 3D fighting games because they play completely different from each other.

It's like comparing NBA 2k7 and Madden 07. They are both sports games, but you simply can't compare them.

My favourite 2D fighter is II: Turbo but overall the best fighting game ever has to be Tekken 3, not only is that game the best fighting game for me personally but the best game on the PS1.

Well I have to, because I can't choose between Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and Virtua Fighter 5.

They are peak of fighting games in terms of balance and depth, and I can't even compare them because they are so different.

In my opinion it all boils down to Super Smash Bros Melee vs Street Fighter 2 Turbo. However I give SSBM a slight edge since I have more fun playing and training at that game than in any other fighting game. And with twice as much variation you can't go wrong.

And im guessing you consider Tekkens 100 moves per characters is deep when half of them are useless or justoccur from button bashing in general?

Who says Tekken is deep?

If you want deep, go look at Virtua Fighter 5 and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

The balance, level of strategy, and skills involved is amazing.

Also Tekken does involve more skills and balance than SSMB.

Smash to me is no where near the best fighter ever because it has horrendous balance issues. Hopefully Brawl will fix this.

JPOBS

Considering it is more of timing and positioning of your character than any deep skills involved, I'd say it is shallow fighting game.

Not to mention the lack of balance of characters and just random things happening in the game.

Certainly not a deep fighting that is measure of skills compared to one and other like Virtua Fighter 5 or Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

Considering that tournament matches are pretty much all played without items and on symmetrical stages I'd say that takes all the randomness out of it. And if you're good with every character, you'd realize it's pretty damn well balanced. Of course there are 1 or 2 (*cough* game and watch *cough*) characters that aren't.

exactly. the depth of smash comes from posistioning. however, just because it attains its depth from another aspect than traditional fighters, how does that make it less deep?

And what random things happening in the game sir?

ALL fighting games are about positioning. However, other fighting games like Virtua Fighter have other depth, using counters, blocks, skill related combos, precision of the button input, etc.

Also, random things I was talking about was related to items.

If SSMB is deep, so is Ehrgeiz

There are counters, blocks, and even skill related combos in smash. It seems you have not really played it to it's potential.

How? lol are you serious. Some characters are obviously better then others while other characters are just useless. If you want to know what real balance is then I suggest you play The King of Fighters.
