Film & TV Best current gen 3D fighters?

[Rukas]

In my opinion:

The close two:

1. Virtua Fighter 4 - PS2
2. DOA 3/Ultimate - Xbox

And then not so close:

3. Tekken 5 - PS2

VF is just the king, I love that game, best gameplay. DOA owns in the graphics department accross all three games, and the game play is very smooth but VF just notches it out.

Tekken to me seems slow, the animation isnt that good either. I used to play Tekken 1 and 2 to death on arcades though hehe, but now I just dont really like the fighting system, press a lenghty button sequence, put your controller down and watch your character pull off a 10 hit combo. I dont really like that, it seems almost turn based when you get two really good fighters together. DOA on the other hand every key combinaion has a potential combo, it just seems more involved and natrual. Im an old school 2D fighter fan, and DOA reminds me a lot of 2D fighters gameplay wise. Tekken has more characters, and a better counter system though. DOAU counter system really does take too much damage off.

SC2 is good too

Anything else worthy out there or anything coming to current systems soon?

Mortal Kombat deception! Pretty dope if you ask me. And the Fatalities just look so gross. They have really taken it a step further. It's also great with all these stage fatalities too. My only issue with MKD is that they have made the combos so systematically, I mean, in previous MK games you could've come up with your own combos and that was very cool but in MKD it's very limited. Other then that it really is a top-notch game.

And a MK 7 will be made no doubt . There is already Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks, but it's more of an adventure/fighting game. It's only about Liu Kang and Kung Lao. Haven't tried it though.

I also agree with Rukas, the animation on the Tekken games is always under par. They always fail IMO.

DOA never appealed to me, after the charm of bouncy boobies it wasn't worth playing. SC2 got lame fast, i like games that involve fists, weapons suck

5 is sicc, new engine

tekken 5 is alot better to play than doa ultimate

Tekken 5 is the best thing out there right now. The only problem is that it doesn't have online play.

Tekken 5 suffers the same slow downs and problems as the previous one, the combos are too complex. Its just like typing in codes. I mean i love the game, but its not realistic. When you fight in real life, you dont sit there and think of 10 buttons in your head to pull off a move that is totally unreleated to the button (punch, kick) you pressed.

Thats what I like about DOA, you can string together combos off any buttons you press.

Hope that makes sense, its hard to explain unless youve played both a lot.

MK 2 is one of my fav games every, but I dont really like the 3D MK games.

MKD has some really awful collision detection.

but thats the whole point of a game, otherwise it would be boring

*punches ruk*

are u fucking serious, VIRTUAL FUCKING FIGHTER, thats one of the worst games ever, so many sterotypes in that crap game, you have to fucking master the game to enjoy it and in the the end, who the fuck wants to play a game where u gotta fucking learn the whole shit

Dead or Alive, i agree amazing game BUT as soon as youve broken through everyfucking stage the game sucks, same old boring counters and characters.

Tekken - tekken is the greatest fighting game ever, seriously, every character is unique and theres about 30 and there all original, tekken also has a decent story.

Mortal Kombat - wtf, its pretty good but after u seen both fatalities of every character whats really the point, the designs of the characters are starting to suck, theres like 3 characters that are all knights, also it has the worst fighting engine ever, LET ME JUST KNOCK U ON THE FLOOR AND CONTINUE DOING THE SAME MOVE UNTIL I BEAT U LIKE A COWARD OR KICK U OF THE FUCKING LEVEL, NEXT I WILL REPEAT THIS UNTIL I SHOW U MY CRAPPY FATALITY, mortal kombat is notalgia when u see the fatalities, soon as u seen them, you might as well use the game as a frisby.

Street Figher - Don, why dont they create a street fighter game with 60 characters.

I dont agree.

My dream of a realistic fighter. 4 buttons, one for each limb. Left punch, right punch, left kick, right kick. You string together REAL combos, punch, punch, punch, kick, do too many kicks and fall on your ass. Different stances, agressive, defensive, neutral. Different moves based on each stance, switch stances mid combo. Different moves based on how you are standing in realtion to the other character.

Heres the best part:

A grab button, that if tapped with the left punch targets the their left arm. So now that you grab their left arm, hit the kick botton and it snaps it over your knee, weakening it and the damage it inflicts on you. Do it enough times and you break the arm.

Now that its broken, the player cant use it anymore, their left punch button is inactive and they have to resort to the other three limbs.

THATS what i want, a REALISTIC fighter, not a "string together 10 buttons to pull of a totally unrelated super combo" fighter. Those are lame as fuck, its about FIGHTING and STRATERGY not about knowing the right button combinations.

Tekken 5 is good because of the characters, but I dont like the game physics at all.

 

[Glockmatic]

^ they tried making a game like that, it was called Fight Club, and it sucked

 

[Silleone]

Rukas that idea of a game has already bin made, check tao feng fist of lotus and kaboto kojin for the xbox, on second thought dont becuz there crap, seriously, your asking for a realistic fighting, WHATS THE POINT, tekken is exagerrated which is what makes it so good, there are lightning effects, hardhitting moves, etc, most of the fighting styles in tekken are real, but there givin a big twist which makes the game so good, its like a martial arts movie, there no need to do a back flip, cartwheel, flying kick but its done becuz it looks good, thats exactly why tekken is better than most fighting games becuz the fighting styles are real but there exagerrated AND LOOK GOOD.

virtua fighter is crap, compare, the black chick that does vale tudo in virtua fighter to marduck in tekken who does vale tudo, Marduck wins hands down becuz the moves are exagerrated and look good, the black chick in virtua fighter is way to realistic which is why she sucks.

Tekken > every fighting game.

 

[RFTP]

Tao Peng can't really be "compared" to what Rukas want. That game is just as bullshit as anyother. They do have supernatural powers too, quite pathetic too. They always defeat you with that.
