TOP Xbox Fighting Games?

[Alpha]

What do you guys think are the TOP 10 or TOP 5 fighting games made for the XBOX? I haven't played many of them so I'm interested to see what you guys have to say.

[Agozer]

1. Dead or Alive Ultimate. No contest.

2. Soul Calibur II

3. One of the newer Mortal Kombats, forgot which

4. Dead or Alive 3

5. ???

[Wizard]

1. DOAU

2. SFAnniversary

3. Guilty Gear #Reload

 

 

... Yeah that's about it.

Not much a fan of anything newer than SFA, but I find the following somewhat entertaining.

 

Dead or Alive 3

Mortal Kombat Armageddon

Mortal Kombat Deception

Fight Club (It's far from being in-depth, but it's fun)

 

As for Soul Calibur II, I think it sucks. Even on hard it's too easy, and it's too short.

 

Kind of hard to have a top 10 too, considering there is MAYBE 30 fighting games on the system and most of them suck REALLY REALLY bad. And a good 20 of them are ports of SNK crap (I hate SNK, bite me...they milk the crap out of things)

[Devia Eleven]

Dead or Alive Ultimate

Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO

Ultimate Fighting Championship: Tapout

Mortal Kombat: Deception

Soul Calibur II

Guilty Gear X2 #Reload

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance

Dead or Alive 3

[Smilee]

SFA

CvS2

GGX2 #Reload

DoA 3

and uh KoF 2k2/2k3 I guess.

I just have to say that the new MKs are trash. There I said it.

 

Armageddon is a joke. It took steps back from MKD and DA and is the clunkiest pos I have ever played. This is coming from someone who swore by the series in the old days.

[Smilee]

I kinda enjoyed Deception, then again it was the only new MK that I've played so far.

[Ix444333]

top 5 in order:

SSF2T (in Capcom Classics Collection 2) without a doubt.

SF3:3s (SFAE) comes in second

MVC2.... i don't know why people keep hating on this port, i think it's fine.

KOF2k2. i suck at it, but hey.

CVS2 EO _is_ a bad port, though, but it's still probably one of the best fighting games on the xbox.

 

i agree, the new MKs are junk. pretty obvious that the game designers don't know much about playing fighting games.

[Wizard]

Marvel on Xbox is not arcade perfect, that's why everyone uses the Dreamcast version.

 

Edit: Also CvS2 is crap on all fronts EXCEPT for the Dreamcast version.

[Alpha]

I'm surprised none of you guys mentioned King of Fighters: NeoWave so far?

[Wizard]

Well, NeoWave is trash and... no one plays it anymore.

Why is it trash? Explain a bit more in detail please.

[BlackKnight]

Neowave is just a rehash of 2002, adding a few new characters nobody wanted. There is really nothing 'Neo-' about it. Its mix of old and new graphics is ugly, and it plays like a son of a biatch.

 

My personal problem with it is that the opportunity for the younger Geese to be a badass final boss was terribly wasted. He, like the rest of the game, is a joke.

 

So yeh, as King of Fighters go, I either play 2002 or XI and pretend Neowave never happened. The XBOX would have been far better off with an NGBC port.

Right on the spot.
