Fighting recommendations
It's been so long since I've played a fighting game. (yr 2001 was the last time I played a fighting game)
I really want to get my hands on Tekken 5, but since I can't at the moment (sold out everywhere) I decided to just start from scratch and pick up some old fighters. The problem is I can't remember some of them. So far the only one I can think of is Virtua Fighter 4 and Soul Calibur 2. Other than that.... my mind is blank. (I have all street fighters so can't suggest those ^_^) |

virtua fighter 4 evo is a much deeper game, much harder to get in to. it will take you lots of time just to master one of the charater, but very rewarding once you master the character. it has the best single player mode in any fighter, great AI opponents, cool character customization. imo it is the best 3d fighter right now.
if your up for a challenge get this game.

I definately recommend Dead or Alive 2. Brilliant fighting game. If you can get your hands on the first PSX version, try that out too.

Oh wow, didn't think anyone would name games from other systems, or are you talking about DoA: Hardcore?

Alrighty then. Thanks Vic.
I should be receiving VF4 Evo within the next 3 days. If you know of anymore good fighting titles out there, don't hesitate to suggest. I'll be buying quite a few for a little while. |

I don't know if you're into 2d fighters? But if so you might want to check out Guilty Gear X or marvel vs capcom.

I'm into 2D fighters. I'm a street fighterholic =)
I've been meaning to ask about Guilty Gear. But I can't seem to remember my question for it.... I'll come back later.

I bought Dead or alive ultimate for xbox a few weeks ago, its has dead or alive 1 and dead or alive 2 with better graphics, its on xbox so I don’t know if you own one, but there’s nothing better than handing someone’s ass to them on xbox live, that’s if you have xbox live too lol.
For 2d fighters, I don’t have much knowledge on them, sorry Ryu.

I should start doing this at the beginning of my threads.
I have: Marvel vs Capcom 2 Street Fighter plus EX3 Street Fighter Anniversary Capcom vs SNK 2 Tekken Tag Tournament (just got it in the mail =D) Virtua Fighter 4 Evo (just got it in the mail too =) ) Xbox Dead or Alive 3 Dead or Alive Ultimate I don't have a gamecube... "shrugs" Uhh... my question about Guilty Gear. I don't think this was my question, but I think I've made it quite clear that I'm a big Street Fighter fan =) and was wondering if Guilty Gear matches up or surpasses Street Fighter? Edit: Every once in a while I will buy new games, but right now I'm looking for the old ones. I do have a job, but I'm a bit cheap =p

guilty gear is very different from street fighter. its kinda like Samurai Showdown, its a very fast pace weapon base 2d fighter. and its the best looking 2d fighter around.
you should check it out. theres Guilty Gear X2 for the ps2 or if you want to play online, theres Guilty Gear X2#reload for the xbox.

Also, the dynamics of both games are entirely different. Guilty Gear is very fast paced, as Vic said. Think of its pace being somewhat similar to the pace Marvel vs Capcom 2. If you like 2D games, then I honestly do recommend this serie. Not because it bears similarity to SF, because they don't, but because in itself, GG, be it the first, second or third, is/are great game(s). I too am a big fan of ST and of 2D fighting games in general. I also am, I guess you could say, a fan of GG. Good stuff. Plus, the older GG games should be cheap now. I last bought Isuka (GG's latest installment, realsed late last year) this year for about $30. So yeah, for 2D, GG is the way to go and for 3D, I suggest Soul Calibur 2. |

Guilty Gear is downright hilarious excellent characters and absurd moves. First time I played it I actually got a rush from the speed and the graphics that were raging on the screen, one of my faves!
If you're more into the old school 2d check out KOF 00/01, more old school arcade than that is hard to find. Far less graphic extremities than GG but a S%^#load of characters, cool moves, excellent gameplay and that superb arcade feel IMO. The game is far from perfect and if you're not into hardcore old school you probably should stay away from it but for some clean cut old school fun give it a shot.(it makes me wanna get the vf hori-stick just to bust out those old school street fighterish fireball moves )
