Forums - Gaming - This gen's best fighting game, answered once and for all

First of all, apologies to this thread, for potentially stealing its readers. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=108437&page=1&str=229922212#48
I'm re-asking the same question because I think it was asked in the wrong way. In the thread I linked to, Super Smash Bros won hands down (and it hopefully will here too) But the main reason it won was not because it was the best game, but because it was the most different - the other fighting games are likely stealing votes from each other. Taking a lesson from the parlimentary voting system in my country, I propose a preferential voting system should be used here. For those of you unfamiliar with this term, what I want you to do is list as many (or as few) fighting games as you want, in the order in which you like them. See examples below for the shooter genre
1 - Halo
_____________________________________________
1 - Killzone 2
2 - CoD6
3- Resistance
So, vote, and remember, this generation only
Invalid votes will be invalid :P
I will be tallying up the votes at some arbitrary time, but I promise  I shan't use this to influence the vote in any way.
Edit, I am not in the least bit interested in people arguing whether or not smash bros is a fighting game. If the game is on this list http://vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=&keyword=&console=&region=All&developer=&publisher=&genre=Fighter&boxart=Both&results=50&order=Hits then it is recognised on VGChartz as a fighting game and is eligible to be put forward for vote (if it's current gen). If you want to discuss what makes a fight game, please make your own thread

OP's vote

1) Smash Bros Brawl


I haven't played any other games that stood out enough to warrant me to vote for another (not that I've played many at all this gen)



Tekken 6



The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

Ernest Hemmingway

Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Tatsunoko Vs Capcom



1. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
2. Soul Calibur 4

Haven't played many fighting games this gen... but with over 500 hours played on Brawl, it's clear on what fighting game has stolen my heart.



Around the Network

1. Super Street Fighter IV/Street Fighter IV
2. Super Street Fighter II HD Turbo Remix
3. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom



Tekken 6

Street Fighter 4



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Looking forward to: FF Versus XIII / LBP2 / The Last Guardian / Yakuza 4 / ICO Collection

I really liked Marvel vs Capcom 2,early but Id say the 3rd



To consider Super Smash Brothers a legit fighting game (Street Fighter, Tekken, BB, Virtua Figther) is like considering Street Soccer as real soccer.


These legit fighting games I named have tournaments worldwide and the contestants are held in high regard. Likewise legit soccer players like Ronaldo, Lampard, Messi are held in high regard by fans of soccer.

Seriously Nintendo fanboys (I know I'll be banned for a week) can go and dream that one day SSB will be considered as a real fighting game.
