Best Figher ever made???

#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.

Well said Malenko.   I like them all and on any given day can fire up most any one the ones you mentioned.

I just prefer MK and stated my reasons.   Nothing more..nothing less.

Saint has made his statment, and I will respect it.   No need to call names, and I for one am going to cease this nonesense.

Though, I must say elements of MK II were better but the overall balance was way off.   Reptile was weak and he was the glaring problem that was never fixed till 3.   The problem in that it brough on more imbalance till it got to the point of crazy.

Not to mention those horrendous  friendships.   To me, that was the beginning of the edge being taken off the game.   I appreciate the dark atmosphere of the first game, and that among a thousand other reasons is why I prefer the original.   

A special edition of the original should be made someday with more frames added as well as HD ala SFII.   That is all.   It has yet to be ported 100% correctly and that is a shame because it has always been a wonderful game.   Been playing for almost 15 years now and it has all the charm of the first coin entered.    Thank goodness for MAME because at least it was preserved in all its greatness.

As for part II...yeah I prefer Star Wars over Empire because it stands on its own...and just like MK the original will always be the most popular.   The debate over which is better will always rage on, but at least there are 2 games in the aresonal that set the parameters for all fighters that came after.   

Though Armeggedon is great fun, it will never give me that feeling that the old 2d games gave.

My personal favorites are:

2D fighter
Marvel vs. Capcom 2  I own the Dreamcast and Xbox versions.  I love to play with characters that I grew up reading.  The saving up points to get extra characters kept me playing for hours.  The 3d background adds a little extra umph to the game.  I'm sure that there are better playing games, but this is a personal taste.

3D fighter
I like Soul Calibur.  Tekken, Virtua Fighter, DOA, are all great games, but for me, I've spent the most time on Soul Calibur.

Hybrid Figter/other
I'd have to go with another Dreamcast game.  I loved the Powerstone series.

Side Scroller/fighter
Once again, being a comic fan, I loved Captain America and X-men.  They were too short and with the advent of saves, or console ports, they don't have the replay value of vs. fighters.  There are many classics in this category.  I love Aliens vs. Predators, Asterix, Simpsons, Wild West C.O.W.  Boys of Moo Mesa, and TMNT.  Since they are more of a co-op type fighter, with endings, I don't think of them as fighters that have as dedicated following as a vs. type game.  Once you beat them, you think, "well that was cool, now what?"

Obscure Fighter
I remember playing Rocky 3 on the Colecovision.  It had a special controller with buttons inside a grip.  My buddies and I would spend hours on that game beating the crap out of each other.  It was cool having a special controller for a game.  I'm sure the memory of it is better than how good the game actually was.
