I picked Mortal Kombat.
Tekken ran a close second.

You forgot Killer Instinct.

"Ultra combo!"

DOA 4 on the Xbox 360 is teh r0xx0r.

You did not list Virtua Fighter, which was awesome too.  (VF 3)

old timey Street Fighter and Killer Instinct loyalist and my fiancee is a Mortal Kombatant through and through, but I'm honestly more excited by the promise of new Godzilla and Smash Bros. fighters than any of the others. We haven't had a new Street Fighter or Killer Instinct game in far too long and the last Mortal Kombat game disappointed me... with the exception of creating Lobo in Kreate-A-Kombatant mode.

My favorite fighting games of all time are as follows:

1) Street Fighter Alpha 3
2) Capcom vs. SNK 2
3) Soul Caliber 3
4) Marvel Vs. Capcom 2
5) King of Fighters 1998


As for my favorite overall franchise, I would have to go with the Street Fighter one with all of it's forms.

I am a hardcore fan of the original Art of  Fighting.  It's one of the precursors to the King of Fighters series, along with Fatal Fury.  I think you left out the Samurai Shodown series, too.  Yeah... you left out the big SNK titles.  I love my SNK fighters.

Because I'm difficult, you also missed the Darkstakers series. 

Anyways, my top fighter would be Art of Fighting.  Your sister has been kidnapped, so you
and your best friend/rival travel around the town beating the crap out of people to find her.    I love it.
I'll follow that with some of the KoF games, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and Darkstalkers 3.

Has anyone ever played Evil Zone?  It's not a particularly good game, but the style is pretty interesting.

Zapranoth

Woo.  In the day, Final Fight was a good one, too.  Though it was a sidescroller and probably doesn't count in this poll.

Lots of cheap bosses to waste you out and make you plug in more quarters.  Like that cheap-ass Rolento.

Never was able to win it on one credit, even with my regular playing buddy, whose skills, like mine, were considerable.  =)

I'm not much of a fan of fighting games, but I have to say Rumble Roses has a certain something that the others seem to lack  :teddyr:

Of the listed Super Smash Bros, I'm trying to remember another but cant thinl of it.

My favs are as follows more or less based on how many hours I spent playing them;
1.) MK2
2.) Killer Instinct
3.) Eternal Champions - This one wasn't on the poll but honestly, it was highly underrated.  I think it was made exclusively for Sega Genesis.  You got to fight as people throughout time (Caveman, Female Ninja, Vampire) who all had unique fighting styles.  It had several screen kills as well.  Anyone else ever play this game?
4.) SF 2
5.) Virtual Fighter 2

How about Double Dragon?
I remember pumping countless quarters into that one in the late 80's.

I've heard that they're releasing it on the Xbox Live Marketplace soon.
I'm definitely picking that one up.   :thumbup:

A terrible fighting and/or wrestling engine?  Especially since the DoA games are on there, that's about all I could think of.
