What is the best Fighting Game and Why?

Tekken is the best, i dont like 2D fighetrs these days.

The fact that tekken is the only 3D fighting game left is speaking for itsself. DoA only survived dueto other qualities and soul calibur because of weapons. I guess virtua fighter is dead now since we havent heard anything from sega.

yeah pretty much all of the rest are 2D fighting games who are easier to programm and less complex designing characters for.

Tekken is definitely king in my book.

I just like how Tekken's roster of characters always grows, instead of strangely absent ones in each entry like SF and MK. They make a character, give them a move set, perfect on their balance with each game. Removing a character due to unbalance is an admittance that you can't fix that. For the most part Tekken is a pretty fair fighting game, even when using some boss characters vs regular ones (Jinpachi, Ogre, Unknown).

Tekken also adds cool new techniques and way to show off your skills with each entry, not a retread of same tired mechanics. Between juggles, wall jumps, Rage Mode, Bounds, Item Attacks, Tag Assaults, and soon to have super meters, they have it all. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is true perfection. Great Tag Team controls and excecution. You can play with just one character if that is what you are comfortable with with the balancing done by putting you in perma-Rage mode so you take off more damage against teams. Being able to pull of true combos between 2 chars of your choosing is always awesome. The fact that you can have your tag partner come to your rescue during a tag grapple is even better. No other fighter can touch that in my opinion.

The series usually jam packs each entry with things to do with Tekken bowling, Tekken Force adventure mode, etc which I find to be great distractions from the normal fighting.
