Forgot to post anything.:rolleyes:

Anyways, post which is your favorite ORIGINALLY 2D fighting game. I searched, and couldn\'t find this topic, but if it already exists, then...phooey.

Anyways, my favorite is the Guilty Gear series (could you tell?). I like most of the other choices too though I don\'t play Mortal Combat... Actually, Mvs.C2 is still my favorite 2D fighting game, just not my favorite series.

And Shaq Fu used to be one of my favorites! It was good, really!:D;

My favorite would be Marvel vs capcom and Guilty gear.

[font=Trebuchet MS]I voted Guilty Gear, mainly because it has taken my soul, and I\'m not complaining. There\'s nothing like seeing a bald doctor wearing a paper bag on his head dishing out death with a large scalpel.

FAUST FOREVER! X3[/font]

fighter game- marvel vrs. capcom

shooting game- the metal slug series

I loved the Marvel vs. Capcom games. I ruled over all with MegaMan. Mortal Kombat was a close second. Sub Zero was my best in that game series.

Guilty Gear, rock on Sammy, you crazy developer you..
Second is Marvel VS Capcom 2, played on Dreamcast and fzck was that addictive.

The Street Fighter series has done more for the fighting game genre than any other title alone; many fighting games would not have existed without it\'s revolutionary play(which is was, when it was originally released. Especially SF II). This isn\'t a reason why it\'s my favorite, or should be anyone elses, but I think it deserves respect for that fact.

Personally, I think the Street Fighter series is one of the most fundamentally sound in the genre available. King Of Fighters is quite good too. I think Marvel vs. Capcom is abit too much flash and pizzaz and doesn\'t require as much skill to play; Guilty Gear, on the other hand, I\'m not really able to judge fairly. I played Guilty Gear XX shortly, but I just could not get into it. I don\'t know, I just did not find it\'s engine to my liking. And when Mortal Kombat was still in the second dimension, it wasn\'t really all that great.

I think Capcom vs SNK is great as well, as it mixes both companies characters, I still find myself leaning towards Street Fighter.

I think Street Fighter III is one of the best games in the genre, and I think sadly, it\'s not very appreciated. Street Fighter Alpha 3 is a good one too.

True, true, Necro. There has been a long span of well above par SF games throughout gaming history. Dhalsim and Sagat are merits for the series.:D

It took me a while to get into Guilty Gear, but eventually it stuck. However, even with my liking for the series, it\'s easy to see how others wouldn\'t.

Where is DBZ? They have 7 fighters across 4 systems...
I voted for Guilty Gear, I can\'t wait for Isuka.

Oops, forgot DBZ. Must be cause I\'ve never played a 2-D one, though they do exist. One came out a while ago for the PSX, I believe...

GGI is out! ROCK ON!:devil:

....Only got a 6.1 on the Gamespot 10 point rating system though...:cry:

My favorite is Marvel VS. Capcom, but SF is a very close second though...I probably wouldn\'t be a fighting game fan if weren\'t for that game! =D

Guilty Gear all the way it\'s by far the fastest game on that list, and keeps you wanting to play a lot longer.

Guilty Gear is cool!!!!!

All those insane fighters, oh the joy!

*Plays Guilty Gear Isuka*

I voted Mortal Kombat, but I love them all. How many hours even days I\'ve spent with my friends playing fighting games. My favorites are Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, and Killer Instinct. MORTAL KOMBAT!!!*punch punch punch* *kick* FINISH HIM! *Uppercut into the spike well*

EDIT: Oh yeah, the company spells it Mortal Kombat, not Mortal Combat.

Yeah, I remembered Killer Instict as a funtastical fightning game, I just didn\'t list it because it\'s always been 3-D, right?

The last Mortal Combat I played was back when I was FAR to young to be playing them, and the gameplay was never really awful. Now, however, I play few or no mature titles, so I can\'t pick up the newest ones. I must admit though, Deception looks awesome.:devil:

Killer Instict on the SNES was in 2D, not in 3D.

Mortal. Kombat. There is a K.

I personally like Street Fighter best. I don\'t see why anyone would like a game OVER Street Fighter. *shrug* Alpha 3 is the most recent one I\'ve played..but it\'s still the best fighter I have ever played.

Killer Instinct was always fun in its prime. It\'s a button masher though, and the AI learns your moves too easily..stupid Eyedol.

Mortal Kombat was either pathetically easy, or terribly hard. It was funny for it\'s time, though..all of its \"alities\".

Marvel vs Capcom is alright, since you can play as Spidey and Venom while you beat the living tar out of Hulk, the cheating bastard. It\'s a fun game.

Guilty Gear I haven\'t played, I want to try it though since people seem to like it. I think people just like the wacky characters, though...

I can\'t believe you left out Darkstalkers. Darkstalkers 3 had alot of people griping about it, because it was missing frames on the PSX. Oh boo-hoo. It\'s a great game, missing frames or no..it\'s very comical. I love playing as Demitri and turning the other male fighters into females with a special move. Demitri says \"Come here, baby\" and floats over to the opponent with flowers in hand..acting like he\'s going to give them to the person. But he changes them into a female if they\'re male, drains their energy, and drops them on the floor. Lord Raptor can turn opponents into a basketball and slam dunk them. Lilith has her Showtime! move, where she puts on a bunny costume and makes the opponent dance. Sasquatch can grab hold of the opponent, tie them up, and use them as a dogsled.

Yeah, Darkstalkers is my second favorite.

It was 2D on the SNES, yes. Just sprites and Mode 7..no SFX chip.

Er, no..the game was entirely 2D. Unless you mean the arcade version, where the characters were 2D and the backgrounds were 3D.
