The best fighting game ever?

[Pilotwings]

Everybody seems to like SoulCalibur on the dreamcast for a good old button smash right?

Corner trap baby...........

sweep, sweep, sweep, throw! (oh teh cheese)

Bah, you want close medium kick (knee) then throw.

I just want to state to any moderators reading this i am not fishing for an argument! im displaying a genuine opinion that i think comes across as an argument because its quite controversial.

Ive only just had my posting rights returned today and dont want them taking again for something this trivial.

but yea 112 honestly mate i know where you're coming from apart from vitua fighter 5 not acually got it yet but planning on very soon.

have u played budokai 3? if not i suggest getting it for the following reasons...

once you have built up a certain amount of skill on the game you feel like a god and for someone to come along and play you on that game as a newbie they have no chance for at least a week.

Having someone dive at you and then you teleporting behind them and nocking them through the air teleportin infront of them again and smashing them back the other way is something for me that compares to the feeling i get when i chainsawed someone on GoW for the first time.

but the thing that really makes this game amazing for me and the fact it never gets old when playing mates is because every move is quite simply countered if you have a good knowledge of the game. you never actually beat an oppenent by flying over and whipping them about a level its always them coming to you and you countering its kind of hard to explain but really get the game if you havent and im sure you will get it.

Thread over. Mods, please close.

For that reason alone it sucks. You know it sucks dude.

[redge44]

no because it happend to me i was my mates whipping boy for a week and next thing i kicked his arse which made him concentrate more and step up his game.

Seriously though the best thing about Soulcalibur games is that anyone like your freinds/kids can whip out all sorts of moves to be able to play against you. Just smash the buttons wiggle the stick and remember to block and dodge.

You can't get better than that!

I think i still have DBZ on teh mega drive, but im assuming the leap to 3d has changed the way you play.

Matty D has a point with God Hand....... the most fighting fun you could have on your own. its like Killer Instinct, fighting for the lone wolf.............

Redge, me thinks you should get a PS3 (with backwards compatability) and play some 'real fighters'

dragon ball z budokai 3 is on ps2.

have you played it 112?

i admit it is quite a hard game to play, but like with anything the harder you work for something the better it feels

plus id be quite annoyed if id spent months mastering a game and someone came along whipped a few combo's out and beat me- just takes the point away of being good doesnt it

[112]

no i havent mate. I had a quick blast at one on the Wii, but couldnt get to grips with the wii mote.

Might hafta pick it up if you keep raving about it

What pilotwings and Joe have said is very true though, about a beginner being able to cain a novice or expert. Virtua Fighter 5 is a perfect example of this. Get it for the cocken boxen 360, and prepare to gain some knowledge

[redge44]

please do mate its usually in bargain bins of a cash converter for about 3 quid!

and...... watch when dragonball z burst limit comes out i GUARENTEE it will be a success!

you heard it here first folks

[J0e Musashi]

you wont hear it anywhere else folks

Fixed.

[eastyy]

its a great dragonballz game (though i prefer that snes hyper dimension game) but as far as fighting games go ......no not even close the fighting game mechanics in the dbz games seems basic in a great fighting game each character would be distinct and have enough differences to make them play different and set them apart

anyway nuff said thats my two cents worth

[Pilotwings]

I don't have any freinds who like tactical fighters

Impossible to get really good if you have no one to play them with.

Only games I can play with freinds is proevo, smash bros, soulcalibur etc. Games that can be mastered but also noobs can have a go at.
