Best Fighting Game Franchise

Without the music, is a little anti-climactic, but that's what a good Melee battle looks like. The first two battles are, I think, played by players who aren't very skilled, but the third one is awesome.

I play as Fox. A bit of advice: NEVER, NEVER underestimate any of the female characters in Melee, especially Princess Peach.

I just have to share this story...

Smash Bros. is huge in Mexico. And while I visited there, I battled this 14-year old kid who was the third best player on the North American continent. He used Sheik. And he massacred me. If God played Super Smash Bros., he would play like this kid. He was so, so, so, so, incredibly skilled. It was unbelievable. No one had ever beaten me before, and I considered myself to be the best around, but he made me look such an amateur. It was embarassing.

But before I left, he gave me his "buen salud" in Spanish, saying that I was the best he played, and I needed a little work to be perfect. You have no idea how cool that was.

Shame on you. But you might not be playing against the right people. If you have a GC, I suggest you at least borrow it from a friend.

Let me fish up some YouTube videos that showcase this game's awesomeness...

I can count the number of times Ive played Melee on one hand. I thought it was confusing and didnt quite get what was going on. I have the original on my pc via emulation and have tried to play that but Ii cant get into it

I voted for Tekkken.Soul Calibur is a close 2nd.I like Street Fighter too,I really wish there was a good 3D version though.Mortal Kombat got bad imo when they went into 3D .The fighting just seems so stiff.

No love for Power Stone? All right.. not really a franchise.. only 2 games, but still my favorite fighting game.

Mortal Kombat, best characters and story + blood and fatalities. It is also the first M rated game ever.

fun game but nowhere near the best

Soul Calibur and Virtua Fighter are definitely tier 1 franchises. And why is a terribly mediocre franchise like Bloody Roar on that poll yet DOA is not? Team Ninja's fighter has matured a lot with DOA4 and I believe with a couple of major tweaks, can really turn into a respectable series. Heck, it should be up there for the amazing 4-player Tag Battle mode alone.

Because (IMO) Bloody Roar > DOA.

 

[Havok83]

Bloody Roar stopped being good after the novelty wore off in 2.

 

[Warhammer]

I really dug Primal Fury on Gamecube.

Pfft, DOA's 4-player Tag Battle Mode alone is infinitely more fun than anything Bloody Roar managed to offer in it's entire series.

I voted for Mortal Kombat. I like the mythology of it, as compared to the almost anime-ness of Street Fighter.

I like Killer Instinct...but the king is street figher....I love playing street fighter 3 third strike...thats the best stree fighter game

 

[The Game 2035]

Back n the day Mortal Kombat was the hottest game around. It's still pretty cool now.

in DOA shouldn't Hitomi be considered INELIGIBLE since as aDOATEC waitress she is considered to be a DOATEC employee ?
