I Dont know If Im The Only Person Who Thinks This Way But im Kind of An Afficiando Of Fighting Games And I Personally Would Prefer to Play Street Fighter Or King Of Fighters Etc. Over Playing Tekken, Soul Calibre Or virtua Fighter. They Have A Blistering Speed To Them And Theyre More tactical Than Say Using Eddy In Tekken They Usually have more Characters Than Most Wrestling Games And For 2d Most Of Snk's or Capcom's Graphics Look Fantastic. Maybe Im Just Too Old... Or Maybe Fighting Games hit Their Pinnacle In 1991 With Street Fighter 2 And Everything Else Has Owed Something To It...

Please stop typing like that.

No

I would personally prefer to play a 2D fighting game rather than something like Tekken or whatever.
Street Fighter 2 was very good (and still is) but im not sure wether to say games owe it is fair. The majority of 2D fighting games that come out are made by one of two companies.
Either Capcom or SNK (or both! Capcom vs Insane thought here 3004) SO to say that they owe Street Fighter is probably wrong because Capcom cant really owe themselves because they made the game and if Capcom hadn't made their games like that then SNK would have.

EDIT: Infact the only other companies i can think of that make games like this are Midway (Mortal Kombat) and Rare (Killer Instinct)

I liked Soul Edge better than I could ever like any 2D fighter.

I like Street Fighter Alpha 3 more than any 3d fighter.

KOF forever!

Someday when I am filthy rich I will collect old NeoGeo stuff. If any is left by then.

I <3 2D Fighting Games.

Trying to think....
I've got Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter EX2 ( the graphics might be faux 3D but it's still pretty much a 2D affair ), Capcom vs. SNK 2, SVC Chaos, K.O.F.2000/2001, Street Fighter 3, Darkstalkers 3, Street Fighter Anniversary Edition...so I quite obviously despise 2D fighters and everything they stand for.

I adore 2-D fighting games.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'd just like to say that the Guilty Gear series is WONDEROUS.

Fuck, how did I forget that....Guilty Gear XX had me hooked for 6 months non stop, brilliant soundtrack, one of the best in a game. And Slayer, the epitome of cool. :-P

I just got Dragon Gal the other day which is a fightin game that Playmore(SNK of Japan now) made, it's really quirky and cute and I'm hooked, but she looks alot like Chun Li with a different color palette.

I can't even read that because of the typing. Capital letters in every words has a tendensy to fry my mind.

i like all fighting games. from 2d to 3d to misc.(Smash Bros.).
I wish there were more new 2d games out these days, because I've only seen a few new things in the newer titles in series, take Guilty Gear for example.

Do you think Capcom and/or SNK should try to make more 3d fighters?
I've only played Street Fighter EX once and it was ok and I owned KOF-Maximum Impact for a short time and I think it was a good first attempt for SNK, but not spectacular...

I like drugs.

I like drugs.

Who the fuck doesn't? Hell, I'm stoned right now!

KOF and Street Fighters have my vote. Does anyone know where I could get an old Street Fighter Game for SNES?

KOF, Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter are all great 2D fighters, plus if you consider Streets Of Rage a fighter the original one is brilliant

Virtua Fighter wasn't a 2D fighter :(

I highly suggest (if your arcade actually imports JPN games) trying out Neogeo Battle colosseum. It's a fighting game from SNK that tosses a good number of Neogeo Characters in a 2 on 2 fighting environment. Favorites include Kyo, Nakoruru, Marco (From Metal Slug), Hanzo/Fumma (From World Heroes) AND.... Iori. <3

Lately, I've been trying to look into fanmade 2-d fighters, but I've had trouble getting them to run on my computer.

If anyone has any experience with this sort of thing, give me some advice!

I don't have any experience with those Ndi but I really would like to.

I play 2d fighters more than any other sort of video game pretty much. Fun stuff!

Are they japanese? I'm not sure of what kind of problems you're having, but changing your system's regional setting to japan is often required for the games to run on your system.


I've only played one such game... a fighting game of people in cosplay. I only used the fatguy dressed as a super robot. yup. There are some games like Melty Blood that I've wanted to try, but I don't have a game pad.

I've been playing a bit of KOF 95 recently. And when I got to school a friend showed up and just happened to have two japanese KOF 95 information/strategy guides for me, which was neat.

Yeah me 2! I LOVE 2-D fighting games ecspecially Super Street Fighter 2!
I L-O-V-E-D Cammy's Street fighter 2 stage and her outfit!

I L-O-V-E-D Cammy's Street fighter 2 stage

Definitely a great design

I always hated that crow that's perched on the bridge, it seemed to distract me every time I fought on that stage!

Yo rezo (or anyone else who's interested in Melty Blood) the ps2 "sequel" of sorts to Melty Blood ReACT, Melty Blood Act Cadenza is out in Japan. If you have the ability to import you can pick it up from any good import site (play-asia.com, ncsx.com, etc). If you don't have the ability to import and are looking for a good gamepad, I've found that the SmartJoy ps2 to USB adaptor works better than most gamepads (most gamepads aren't made as well as a ps2 controller) and the ps2 is the most familiar to me. You can find a variety of SmartJoy console to USB adaptors really cheap here at Lik-Sang. (http://www.lik-sang.com/list.php?category=160&)

Oh, and for those of you who'd like the PC version of Melty Blood (either ReACT or the Act Cadenza ps2 isos) let me know and I'll link you no problem.

I personnaly liked the mortal kombat series better out of any 2d fighing games they had soomth gameplay visually great and fun to play wit hall the fatalitys characters and tornaments,though i hate the mortal kombats on ps2,xbox and Gcube,the gameplay is really slow.i dont really like all thoughs anime games you get nowadays,i likew street fighter2,i bought street fighter alpha 3 heard it was brilliant i hated itit was to advanced,had to many characters that were awful,i just have the 25 year aniversy street fighter 2 edition thats class for you,though i have to say it i preffer Tekken out of any fighting game series,The characters are brilliant and the story thiis game surpasses any other by far,and the gameplay is fast and smooth,along with good graphics and moves to do and has the addicting survival more the best addition to fighting games ever what more do you want,though i didnt like T5 that much i got bored of it really quick there wasnt much new for me i hated the new characters (same with T4 actually)shame oh well.T ekken 3 still entertains me regulary so i dont mind

I'd prefer 2-D Beat 'em ups to 3-D. SF2, MK etc...

Mugen > all

King Of Fighters XI still has me going, even competing with F.F. 12 for a fair share of my time, still can't get Oswald's Ace move perfected though.

On fighting games i oly play Tekken so i think im a 3d player :)

Nothing can beat Capcom Alpha's trademark supermacy, super-cool super moves, or just moving so fast that your shadow adds to the hit count. Better than Guilty Gear, or SNK, but SNK comes in second, Soul Caliburin third, Tekken in fourth, Guilty gear in fifth, and Virtua fighter in last.

Streets of Rage is my favourite 2D fighter, I dislike the 3D ones mainly because I'm shit at them, my brother always chooses the fastest guy he can while I choose the strongest. Guess who can never get a swing in :(

Lol I'm the same way, you gotta sidestep or else you never get a hit in.

I like fighting games also.


Mugen > all

:cool:

Although, the Fighting genre's cousin, Brawlers, is more apphrensive to me, Super Smash Bros., Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter in general are my flagships of the Fighting genre.

Pocket Fighters > you. :P

Someone said Mortal Kombat has smooth gameplay. I am going to cry.

guilty gear and KOF are awsome games, Bleach DS has had me hooked for the last 7 months.

Same here, I'm obsessed with the friggin game...which characters you play?

I pretty much find myself enjoying every 2D fighter I play. Except Guilty Gear. Guilty Gear sucks. Anyway, as much as I like 2D fighters, I still prefer Soul Calibur.

2D fighting games are my bread and butter. They're what I grew up with, and as long as I'm a gamer, they'll be what I prefer. That's not to say I outright reject 3D fighters; I just don't get into them as much as, say, a "Street Fighter Alpha 3".

haha, I didnt even realize that all of the words in the first post had capital letters until someone brought it up.

Anyway.
I love 2D fighting games, they are just plain awesome. I also like good 3D fighting games, e.g. Tekken, Soul Calibur, Bloody Roar etc. I don't even know whitch one I like better, 2D or 3D, they're practically different genres!
