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.

Seconded, Brawl not only isn't a real fighting game by any means, it's also boring.

Best has to be Super Street Fighter IV and anyone that have played it can't choose anything else in his good consc.



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom..

Because people are pretty anal about Brawl not being a fighter.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Though that's Melee, not Brawl, and Brawl is considered a dumbed-down game from the competitive standpoint, but you can see that Smash Brothers is a legitimate fighting game.

Now, some questions:

To everyone:
Do you know fighting game terms like Mixup, Crossup, Tick Throw etc?
To Smash Voters:
Do you know what are the top tier characters of the game?
To SF4 voters:
Do you know what is a FADC?
To Blazblue Voters:
Do you know what is a taunt combo?

These are all pretty basic terms in fighting games and in each of these games, if you don't recognize them, please don't try to argue against some of my points...

In my opinion, the best fighting game this gen is Blazblue: Continum Shift (It wasn't released on consoles yet, but it was released in arcades in Japan, and somehow found it's way to the PC), it may not be the most balanced game, but the sheer variety of the gameplay from character to character (they are far more varied than in pretty much every other fighting game out there, shun Guilty Gear XX) makes it grest for competitive players like me (and it's balanced, just not perfectly).

The best fighting game for the non-competitive is SSBB, I find it much more fun to play with friends, we do tend to lower items and pick balanced maps, but when you play in four players, even if you are the best out of them it's still isn't a cakewalk.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

You are entitled to your opinion but you don't get to make the rules.

SoulCalibur 4



Playstation All-Stars is one of the best games I've played this gen, and is the most fun I've had in a game this gen.

Soul Calibur IV

-This game is very fun, and it also happens to be (I think) the 3rd best selling fighter of this generation next to SF4 and SSBB. I don't really even like 2D fighters after SC4. It is so much fun to slide kick people out of the ring.



 

Most anticipated games of 2011:

Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith

Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D
