Eh, Primal Rage was one of the absolute low-points in fighting game history... But my memory is clouded. There was a time arcades were flooded with Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat clones. I can't say if it was any worse than say Rise of the Robots though (which, incidentally, is the game I took my avatar from ~ useless info lalala) but it has to be a close tie. Armaddon sucked and Diablo was overpowered.Zaranth wrote:actually, now that i'm thinking about it, Primal Rage was great too. does anyone remember that game?
I don't know if anyone remembers Ballz on Sega Megadrive? Now *that* was a weird fighting game. The cartridge was longer than any other I had. A bit like S & K but without the lock-on. I think Ballz was touted as the first real 3D fighting game back in the day.

No it ranks right up with Rise of the Robots. But perhaps a little more fun. The booklet mentioned like 3 moves for every character, then tentatively added (and 20 more...). Well I suppose paper is expensive to print on. Of course the death-blows the CPU performed on you by round three were omitted. As if I could just dream them up in practice...
Nowadays it's simple: look up a guide on the net and there you have it, but back than we had to buy magazines for a decent walkthrough. No such luck with an obscure title as Ballz of course.
But hell it wasn't the worst game in my collection. That honor probably goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

It's got 5 votes but why's nobody owned up to voting for Dead or Alive? Personally I'm not a hardcore fighting game fan but DoA has managed to keep me interested. Number 2 was just greatness for the Dreamcast and I actually managed to become half way decent at it. Then after a year or two of not playing it DoA 3 kicked my arse and had fun learning it again.

I remember that shit! I still have it too, I loved pulling off arms and throwing them in the opponents face.Esrever wrote:The best fighting game ever was Cyborg Justice for the Genesis. You could build customized robots with different kinds of jumps and attacks, but it didn't really matter what you chose because all anyone ever wanted to do was use the yank-off-your-torso instant death move.
Oh, memories...
You could take off an opponents body and replace your body with theirs too if I'm not mistaken.
And the best part is, once you destroy the other player, you could rebuild him! It was a pretty simple move: you'd kick their broken corpse and the legs would pop up, then you picked up the torso and slammed it on top of them. They'd come back to life with a sliver of health! And then... you'd rip off their torso AGAIN! You could do it up to three times!Omni Hunter wrote:I remember that shit!

What a great game.

You are right, characters for fighter games are weaklings, a guy from a good beat-'em-ups can defeat like 10 dudes alone. Leave a Fighters character in a beat-'em-ups and he is toast!. They can just shoot him a lot to make 40 moves combo!.Double-S- wrote:Fighters and beat-'em-ups are different genres, please.

It's obvious, SSMB is the best. The percentage thing was cool, I prefer winning with ring outs in any fighting game, and what better way to ring out than being rocketed off in a burst of blue fire?
By the way, Rock Lee kicks ass. He's insanely fast and ridiculously strong. If you have any interest in Naruto, read the manga, don't watch that shitty anime version.
