- Tobal No. 1
Saw this at a local used game place... is it worth to get? I'm scared a bit with the Dragonball GT style models. Dragonball GT is so much fail.

Do wrestling games count?- Power Stone 1/2
opinion time: no.
they really are their own genre due to their radically different style of play.

(I knew this would be debated over)
Some things qualify Smash as a fighter, but it's a loose one since it goes by its own rules.
You can strip it down to 1 on 1 with items off and the most boring stage in the game, but that doesn't make it "pure".
I think Power Stone 1 is a fighter, but 2 is a party game. I prefer 1.- Power Stone 1/2
If no one is going to argue this then Smash Bros. automatically is a fighting game.

Colin, Matsu, and I went to a Fat party where everyone was pretty fat and I went to get a beer and this fat girl sat between Colin and Matsu on the futon and she sank while they were boosted up.
That party also had Fat Kareshi and we were all excited so when we left I said "bye Fat Kareshi!!" and he was all like "huaghaughahhaha byeeeeeee"

Why does a fighting game have to be 1 on 1 hand-to-hand combat? I mean, there's more to fighting that just that... I guess this starts to blur the lines between fighters and beat-em-ups though.
Are rail shooters considered shmups? I mean they are essentially the same concept just different perspective...

i dunno, it was fun when i first got it. Tobal 2 is far superior in pretty much every way, but of course that never came to america.- Tobal No. 1

i would recommend picking it up if it is under 10 bucks. it's got some good characters and an ok dungeon mode. the fighting is competent and kinda fun if you really get into it. i haven't played it in about 6-7 years now so my memory might be slightly jaded on how well it has held up.

the biggest difference between fighters and beat 'em ups is that the latter has a bunch of weak enemies you fight in order to get to a powerful boss. obviously, most also have scrolling levels that one must traverse through. beat em' ups (especially in the arcade) almost never have blocking or a wide amount of special moves. Many beat 'em ups also are multi-planar, but only a handful of fighters allowed such play (Pit Fighter, Fatal Fury)
Fighting games jump straight to the boss fight, who you are on even terms with.
(while i'm on the subject, this is my favorite title for a beat 'em up: STREET HASSLE. it appears that it might be the original Bad Street Brawler.)

I'd have to say Street Fighter Alpha III. Super combos are awesome, but for the begginers, they can do custom combos, which is pretty sweet too. Oh, and Sakura is the new hotness. She's like kinda like Ryu and Ken... but not?this is the fighting game thread. it is a place to fight.
i want to discuss a million things here.
but let's start up with this: what's your favorite fighting game series (and better yet, the specific game that you think sums up the series), and why?
note that "Street Fighter" is not an acceptable answer, as you must specify such as SFII, Alpha, SFIII, etc.
GET READY FIGHTERS

Bump for this thread. With KoF XI, Neo Geo Battle Colosseum, and GGXX: Accent Core, all released as budget titles, I know some of you guys are really happy. I just picked up KoF from work. It was only like $8 with my discount. It was stuck with the impulse buy games for $9.99 I was pretty damn happy cuz I was in the mood for it, but with holiday shopping couldn't justify ordering a bunch of games online. Anybody else playing some of these fine new fighters?
mercatfat: no, man

battle coliseum looks kinda fun, if only to play as marco. the nice pricepoint doesn't hurt either.
i haven't bought a neo geo game since my last NGPC game, so i might pick it up post xmas.

KoF XI and NBC are good games. I've been playing the Japanese versions for awhile.
KoF XI's gameplay seems a little too advanced for me this time. I'm terrible with team management and this game relies more on team work than the previous versions. You can swap out characters while getting hit to stop combos. You can cancel/delay combos and swap in another person in mid combo. It's pretty advanced stuff and the characters play slightly different than before as always. You have to be able to learn to react to everything in order to master the game.
There's also the "Team Leader" which I don't really like. It basically gives 1 character a LDM (Leader Desperation Move) and the ability to Dream Cancel DMs (cancel out a regular DMs into the LDM move). Anyway, its a great game. The only real downfall is that it's missing tons of characters from the previous versions. Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, Billy Kane, Chizuru, Yamazaki, Goro, Leona, Heidern, Hinako, Jhun Hoon, Chang, Choi, and others are missing. Robert and Mai were also missing, but were added as PS2 exclusive characters. They were pretty much ripped from NBC so Robert has his new sprites and moves from that game.
Also, creating custom colors is fun. You can create edit colors for fireballs and such.
