Naw, fukk that, Street Fighter is the GOAT fighting game franchise

[Tenchi Ryu]

nobody mentioned "Darkstalkers" & that was on fire over here in arcades....

Was playing that all day yesterday on Dreamcast too...

Good game.

 

[Dwolf]

2D fighting game yes.

 

[feelosofer]

If you mean as a Franchise then sure,

I would put KOF as a close second though.

 

[Brief Keef]

Breh you just showing out now These casuals don't know nothing bout dat ............


That's like me dapping "Tobal no 1"(Best fighter you never played ) or Ehrgeiz(gimmicky but obscure)

tobal #1 was fukkin fire tho

 

[TrifeGod]

Before SF4 came about there were many games that rivaled ST and SF3 (and CVS2)

No order
1. Garou: Mark of The Wolves
2. Last Blade 1, Last Blade 2
3. KOF98
4. Samurai Shodown 1-3

But yeah, Capcom is the MJ of the Fighting Game Industry

Sentinel and magneto were too much.
My team was Guile, Strider, and Ryu

Breh my home boy ced used to run Gulie, Charlie, and Ryu ...epic matches epic memories man


Funny thing is, back when I refused to play mvc2(it's a broken game ) they taught me my base play with silver samurai that I built on and started running shyt with. I remember this one time an asian dude from a town 30min away came up and ran a Sentinel, magneto,......maybe storm?? Team. I'm sitting there like breh (We informally banned certain characters) I already knew where that shyt was going I knew it would take him a minute to get used to the arcade and get warmed up
1. Starting with gief I jumped on his ass and the first time he touched the ground I immediately put

in.
2. Swapped out to

3. Worked him over to fill second level up real quick

4. Called mech gief out on assist like

5. Popped him two times with castle grey scull

6.The rush down was to strong, his ass never had a chance.....

no

no

no

no

[It is a mystery]

People talking about sf3 was a universally loved or accepted game or the last universally loved game are either , weren't there, or don't remember correctly
SF3 almost killed SF and was released in the fighting game dark ages. Casuals didn't fukk with the sf3 series at all (until the daigo parry video and then even hardly). People bytched about it being so different roster wise and otherwise. The hardcore had qualms with the parry system as they believed it was fundamentally broken. Read this thread Parrying: Good or Bad? - Page 3 It's from 10+ years and is infamous for going into great depth in this. It ended up as pretty poor for spectators too as too much of the game ended up as wiffing normals to build meter and then fish for something or hitconfirm into super. Yun & Chunli dominate the cast way too hard as well in 3rd strike leading to little character diversity

Yeah I actually want to make a thread about the fighting game transition between arcades dieing off and (online play / social media) that gave fighters more play and life again. Someone made a post talking like street fighter is going to die and I'm like Casuals obviously don't know the fighting game community saw these fighting game franchises through the darkest of times during that transition of almost a decade When I get a chance I'm definitely writing that post cause there are people here completely oblivious to that time in the fighting game communty......

Matter a fact I remember people paying upward of $60 bones to get stuff like mvc2 on ps2 or cap vs snk 2 ps2 because companies weren't putting out new editions anymore. Trust the FGC has weathered some serious storms With social media and the ability to organize meetups in your city ...there really is no looking back
