New Fighter thread - that other one is just too brutal

leapinlew:
For just a fun time, check out Karate Champ. It's hard to find a good working VS machine and building a machine with four 4way sticks just for karate champ is too much work.

I was going to post this link in the other "fighting" thread but after the topic switched I didn't bother and besides it was pretty comical. Anyway, this top 20 list is over a year old but most of the standings would probably still hold true today if they made another poll. There's the top 20 list but also some honourable mentions on the very last page if you're interested in trying them out. It's also cool that they do a little review of each game as they go.
Check it out here.

For the lazy peeps here was the break down:

Top 20:

    20. Virtua Fighter
    19. Street Fighter Alpha 3
    18. Garou: Mark of the Wolves
    17. Tekken
    16. Tekken 3
    15. Samurai Shodown II
    14. Super Street Fighter II Turbo
    13. Capcom vs SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001
    12. Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival
    11. Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
    10. Mortal Kombat
    9. Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
    8. Tekken 5
    7. Mortal Kombat II

#1.)Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

Amazing sprite animation. Uber tight controls. Very stylish and well rounded characters. Not all flashy and over the top like all the capcom/marvel crossovers....

#2.) Capcom vs. SNK 2

A good fighter...though it has some issues. Namely they cheaped out and rehashed old sprites from other games instead of updating them to match other cleaner sprites.

#3.) Guilty Gear

Fast...furious...and really damn good sprite animation.

#4.) Mortal Kombat II

Purely because its a friggin classic. I pumped so many quarters into this puppy.

#5.) Fatal Fury (Garou) Mark of the Wolf

Best SNK fighter IMO. I just love this game.

I'm not a big fan of Tekken or other 3d Fighters.....just could never get into them.
Bleagh:
Third strike has to be the best in terms of substance.

It's just complex enough to be interesting, but simple enough that it doesn't bog you down.

Either you love parrying or you hate it.

Personally,  I enjoy nothing more than jumping in, parrying my roommates dragon punch, and comboing for the kill.
