I'm a big Tekken fan, but King of Fighters has always been my favorite. 2D is really where button-mashing-games is at.

Oh, and SC is REALLY fun, and I'm uber good at it.

I'm not the BEST fighting game player, but I really do damn well against some good players. I once played the head KoF player of this arcade in Ohara Japan. He'd won medals at their Arcade, and when he found out there was an American at the arcade, he actually DROVE to the arcade to play me. Needless to say, I smashed him. Multiple times. With any character he wanted me to be. Then he took me over to the latest Tekken game not yet released in the US. I didn't even know half of the moves for some of the characters, and really didn't understand some of the odd power-up things he was doing, and I STILL beat him. Albiet not as well as I creamed him on KoF, but I still didn't lose a single full 3-bout-round.

DoA3 is the only fighting game I've ever liked. Oh and SSB if you count that as a fighting game/.

Why wouldn't you? The second one even has "melee" in the title. It has a very unique style, but it's still a fighting game.

[QUOTE=Chaz Ghostle]Why wouldn't you?[/QUOTE]

Super Smash Brothers is a lot faster-paced than traditional fighting games. The average distance you spend from your opponent(s) is farther than in traditional fighting games. It has items. There is less focus on holds, blocking, parrying, and special moves as the result of complex button-pressing sequences in Super Smash Brothers than there is in traditional fighting games. Its arenas deviate from the norm. Super Smash Brother's arenas are more vertical, hazardous, and gimmicky than in traditional fighting games. Arobatics are very pronounced and important to success in Super Smash Brothers, whereas traditional fighting games place less emphasis in this area.

Yes, it's one of the more unique fighting games, but it's still definitely a fighting game.

Personally, I find all other fighting games to be too similar to each other. They're basically all the same game, except for characters and a few other small differences.

That's like saying that HL2 isn't a shooter because you have a gravity gun and a swamp buggy.
