2d fighters - guiitly pleasures

[nightstalker100]

Everyone must have at least one of these. A fighter that you know isn't particularly of high calibre and pales in comparison to teh cream of the genre yet you devote/devoted a large portion on playing time to it.

Mine:

Snk vs capcom chaos - i remember when this game was anounced and getting very excited about it. What a mess when it was released. Completely tiered, recycled snk sprites, awful hit box detection, it felt like such a step back. Yet why do i play it?

Breakers/breakers revenge - a blatant SF2 clone (arent they all?). The character design stinks, actually really stinks, and it seems to have completely faded into obscurity almost ever since the day it was released.

Yours?

World Heroes II: I bloody love it! It's over the top and stupid, but I have loved this since I first played it in the arcades

That was goin to my third selection but to be honest thats REALLY guilty.

MARTIAAAAAAAAAL CHAMPIONNNNN
I used to use Titi all the time.

My guilty pleasure is Fighter's History. Data East's infamous SF2 rip-off, not the NeoGeo Dynamite sequel. I own the arcade board. I haven't check recently, but I think the encryption's still not been broken in MAME. Used to play it down at the local newsagent for 10p a bash when we to bunked off school 3 afternoons a week (RE, PE and CDT). The guy had 2 machines, usually a fighter and one platformer, such as Tumblepop, Snow Bros or Bubble Bobble. We were down there so much that he ended up letting us choose his next games. Plus we used to tax Hubba Bubba when he wasn't looking.
Then he got Super SF2 Turbo in and there was no going back.

hah, I can't really say as all the fighters I own I really like, hmm. I guess world heroes would be one though \\o and the original Sam Sho because everyone prefers the sequels. meh

I enjoy Ballz, though haven't played it in quite some time. I found it to be quite remarkable in its day. The backgrounds are absolute cack though and most of the characters are annoying so it's not all good.

I kinda like Eternal Champions on the old mega smega.........

Even if the AI is a cheating bast, it has pressence and brings me back to the old days.........

/me waits for someone to say they like 'rise of the robots' cos we all know it will be an absolute LIE!

I quite like the 2D Gundam fighting games as well, Gundam Wing: Endless Duel (SFC) and The Battle Gundam G. (ps1)

1. Survival Arts: Discovered this game on MAME and became addicted to it. Played it to death until I completed it. Absolute drivel but the characters are hilarious-I think there is a pretty funny review of it on YouTube.

2. Street Fighter:The Movie: SF by name only but I still enjoy playing it. The combo system is so broken though...and the CPU cheats like mad.

3. Waku Waku 7. Used to play this at a cab station in Tottenham when I was at Uni. Crazy Jap fighter that did pretty wel I believe.
