will own every fighting game :)

it dosent have to be realistic, just fun :)

and tekken is weel balanced it has som realism in it mixed with som fantasy ( devil jin panda etc)

tekken has the best charackters! tell me on man in vf5 who is better than jin kazama, law,howrang ( or whats his name), eddy,paul and lei?
tekken 6 FTW

only on ps3 :)

Hmmm... Well, I don't play Tekken I know it does take some skill. Virtua Fighter while I really don't like this one. It still takes skill. And we all know SF takes skill.

I don't find DoA to be a complete button masher. Its just so fast it is hard to take advantage of the counter system.

And why was Guilty Gear not on that list?

Dude if you're a fan or a true hardcore fighting gamer than you give a F*CK about Guilty Gears and King of Fighters. These are some of the most used games in fighting game tournaments. Guilty Gear has been a big favorite in EVO tournaments which is one of if not the biggest fighting game tournament. They are as techincal and hard to master as most 3d fighting games especially the later versions like KOFXI and GGAC. Unlike a couple 3d games out there they don't reward button smashing (i.e. Eddie/Christie from Tekken, damn button smashers are so annoying when they use them and act like they're good and doing every thing on purpose) and they aren't as broken as some games (i.e. Soul Calibur 3 and F'n Yoda from SC4, seriously even if he is short how can Yoda not grab Yoda). KOF and GG are just as awesome as any other fighting game out there and the only reason they don't get much hype and media exposure is because they get made by smaller companies. Go to places like Japan and Brazil who are actually quite found of KOF and they'll show you who gives a F*CK.

3D fighting has always been "tricky" i mean from the side stepping/grappling cheat/low sweep they tend to be button mashers IMO.

STREETFIGHTER4 and BLAZBLUE for me!

I love these guys articles so funny yet grounded in truth. I agree with the article for the most part except i don't have an opinion on Tekken or VF. I've never played a VF and i haven't played Tekken since that bastard Eddie showed up in 3. My favorite fighter currently though is SF3 (don't have SC4 yet) and my 2nd favorite franchise is Soul Calibur. Guilty Gear is another good fighter but i don't play it much along with KoF and Rival Schools used to be good back in the day as well. I don't like DoA at all i have DoA2 for the dreamcast and i never liked it.

I must say that whoever wrote this article, doesn't know fighters or doesn't play them. Either way, horrible article.

Soul Calibur IV got me a few achievements and a broken controller. F*cking Secret Apprentice and your cheap moves!!

Ok I didn’t break my controller, I almost though. Besides the overpowered Secret Apprentice the game is fun.

Street Fighter IV will own!!!! >_<

Now just give me World Tour Mode, Dramatic Mode, Beat Up A Car Mode, Shin Akuma, etc.

i think tekken is fun.. :(

is there something wrong with me?

That was a really entertaining article. I especially enjoyed the decision tree at the end. Made me laugh. Also made me want to buy SCIV

DOa is the best there..dont like the writers attitude but yeah doas the best soul claibur cool street fighter tekken mk all o fthem are cool

fighting games mess up the controllers and take no skill

I hate it when people fake their attitude and just comes off like that annoying know-it-all that works at Gamestop!

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
