What's your fighting game series?

Why not?

Fighting games. Not everyone loves them or has the patience to master its characters, but it's a big genre regardless.

Street Fighter: The one that started the fighting craze. SF II remains fresh after all these years and I always go back to it. And unlike other series, it's not that tough to pick up and play, so it appeals to both casuals and hardcore players. It also has good characters. A great balance overall. My favorite after all these years.

Mortal Kombat: Pretty fun back in the day, but the classic games haven't aged so well and the violence seems mild compared to the games we have today. Gameplay wise it was quite behind Street Fighter, but didn't let down in the cool characters department. Also, the MK universe is cool as a whole. I like Street Fighter characters but don't care that much for their backstories, whilst MK characters have more interesting ones.

Tekken: A more technical fighter. A good game and all but I find it boring and all flash and no substance. Don't care for the characters either.

Virtua Fighter: Another technical fighter, but this one I like. Virtua Fighter 2 being one of my favorite fighting games of all time. In fact, the Saturn was full of great fighters.

King of Fighters: The closest fighting game to Street Fighter I've played. SNK's fighting series seems pretty similar to SF in terms of artwork and gameplay. The characters are also quite varied. Some are cool, others not so much, but overall a good mix.

Super Smash Bros.: The perfect game for any Nintendo fanboy such as myself. It's fun as hell to play both solo and co-op. The replay value is pretty high due to there being so many ways you can beat your opponents. Man, I must have spent hundreds of hours playing Melee back in the day. This game is a ****ing party, dude!
