Best Fighting Game Options

[Timbo]

Of any time or genre, 2d, 3d, side-scrolling, adventure, etc.

Would've made it into a poll but there are far too many to mention. What'ya'got?

soul caliber 3 took my favorite fighting styles and fucked up all the techniques. my best character is seigfried/nightmare. some say he was really slow, but he was a set up character, you had to get into one of his stances before you tried a combo, and then he was the fastest guy on the field. seung mina was my 2nd best.

but in soul caliber 3, they made seigfried and nightmare 2 different people, and then gave them 2 different sets of moves that didn't flow well at all. they added too much stuff, and for some reason, it took away from the game as a whole.
to this day i still have very few friends/ex roommates who will willingly play me at soul caliber 2

My during the first 3 years of high school my friends and would play SC2 on dreamcast in the network admin room (my school was private and I was one of the admins for the network -- saved the school money). Everyday, during lunch. We became a finely tuned machine. We also played a shitload of DOA2(LE) (the japanese LE version of DOA2 had more characters and bonuses and stuffs).

I still maintain that there is not a better fighting game platform than the dreamcast. My DOA2 skills never seemed to transfer that well from that system though :/. I still have my dreamcast just for that game.

And Guilty Gear X which I recently discovered.

i've wanted to play it on dreamcast, but the version i am used to is the xbox version. i hated the game cube version, it seemed like it was set on easy mode or something, and the controller just wasn't designed to operate well with those buttons. man, now i wanna get back into som sc2.. i haven't played in over a year and a half. but yea, nick and i became finely tuned machines at several n64 games.... smashed brothers, and pokemon puzzle league foremost among them.
