Best fighting game for PS2?

[SliverShadow]

What’s the best fighting game and y is it the best one for ps2 or 1? My best fighting game for Playstation is Tekken 3 and my best fighting game for PS2 is Dead Or Alive 2:Hardcore its the best super sharp and real looking Graphics, super good arenas, you can get kicked threw walls, off cliffs, down water falls, into electric fences, off billings and more. You can do the best counters, there cool :) and the game play is very fast gameplay sometims to fast :eek: :p :rolleyes: :cool: :D

(I am a major person that’s all about fighting games all of my posts r about fighting so if u search my name and you will find some more posts about fighting) :)

[GenkiAkuma]

well...frankly..for ps1..most any fighting games i like are available for emulation(arcade version is much better)..usually i love capcom vs games..but cvs2 and mvc2 for ps2 suck horribly(what the fuck...everything looks toooo damn pixelated)....so if i play fighting games on ps2 its usually 3d games...hands down the winner is Virtua Fighter 4..it whups tekken's sorry ass...

oh..and theres one exception to the 2d fighting games for ps2... GUILTY GEAR X and GUILTY GEAR XX!!!!!
those games rule

[cheeseman]

Ill keep this open, although there is already a closed thread from before.

anyway I am a fan of Virtua Fighter 4, and Tekken 4. For more skilled players, I like to play Pride fc or Ufc.

[birdcat]

guilty gear xx, and prolly soul calibur 2 when it comes out :D

[SliverShadow]

Yea i got tekken 4 and vr 4 but i think that tekken kiks vr 4s ass :p

[GenkiAkuma]

tekken 4 sucks..no innovation..its just the same crap over and over again....lol...

[Project X-7]

Marvel Vs Capcom 2, because the graphics and the old characters coming back for more.:hehe:

> Yea, right Tekken 4 is so much funner :) then V.R.4., there is way more things to do in Tekken and it has the best story mode. And there is like 10 extra character to get in the game and its in more arcades than V.R.. Fighter has ever been in and Tekken 4 has force mode and that lodes of fun. And the game is wicked hard to master i have only mastered Steve fox and Eddy/Christy. And I am working on Jin and Kazzua. :p :D ;) :eek: :p :P ;P :) :) :) :):eek: :eek: :D

[Cheese]

Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore

[Kaneda-Shin]

Guilty Gear XX, Of Course, and I'm a semi fan of the Marv/SNK/Capcom versus series.

[BustaWolf]

Without a doubt, its still Tekken Tag Tournament. So deep, so good even 4 years later.

couldnt agree with you more :)

Best 2D: Guilty Gear X
Best 3D: Soul Calibur 2

[puni]

I would say Capcom vs Snk 2

It will change when Soul Calibre 2 comes out though it will rule

[SpaceSamurai]

Guilty Gear X 2

[RIDKING]

Tek4, TTT, Guilty Gear X2.
Thats only cause thats all I have.
And the only reason peeps dont like Tek4 is cause they get their asses handed to them everytime they play... or they pick a button mashing character and win people makin them think the game is too easy..

[Negator]

Whats with the infactuation of Tekken? That does it, I'm saying this and I don't care if you disagree with me.

FUCK TEKKEN

Fuck Tekken, Tekken 2, Tekken 3, Tekken TT, and Tekken 4. That series is so gay, I would rather shoot my penis off and eat it for dinner than play another gay ass Tekken game. Tekken sucks, god dammit![/rant]

Anyway, Capcom vs SNK 2 gets my vote, but Guilty Gear XX may catch up to it. And if they release KOF2002 for PS2 I'm getting it the minute they release it.

[GenkiAkuma]

im pretty sure i can whup your ass ridking cause the
FUCKING THING IS SO PATHETICALLY EASY


Yea, right Tekken 4 is so much funner then V.R.4., there is way more things to do in Tekken and it has the best story mode. And there is like 10 extra character to get in the game and its in more arcades than V.R.. Fighter has ever been in

REALLY? MORE? lesee... arcade.....vs......force mode.....options...oh wow...... AND FORCE MODE IS A PIECE OF CRAP THAT WAS SLAPPED ON TO GET PPL TO BUY THE PS2 VERSION.....
while VR4 has Versus, story, kuumite and kuumite has a hella lot more shit that tekken 4 ever will.....and has more strategy.....and lets not go into evolution..which is badass....
and yes Tekken 4 is in alot of arcades.. BECAUSE PPL ARE STUPID AS HELL TO BELIEVE IN STUPID ASS PROMOS AND SHIT THANKS TO SONY/NAMCO...

wooha

[Despare]

I used to play Tekken all the time up until Tekken Tag came and the series itself became redundant. Virtua Fighter 4 is incredible and the Kumite mode is simply amazing. Yeah I've played Tekken 4 and have it but it's just not as good.

They are going to release it. However, it probably will never be released outside of Japan.

[BustaWolf]

Its like this. If you like your fighting game with a more arcade feel, fast paced, flashier, and a lot of juggling, play Tekken. If you want your fighting game slower paced, simulation like, more technique, play Virtua Fighter. Now just pick one and go. I've played both, I like VF but I love Tekken. VF is just a little too slow and throw dependant for my taste. Both require a good deal of skill to play.

I don't know why some of you guys say Tekken is pathetically easy to play. Are you just picking Eddy, Hwoarang or Baek, one of those mashable characters or a Paul deathfist whore and winning. Yeah, thats going to work ONLY ON THE SHITTY PLAYERS. Play against an above average player or even an average player and see if its still easy to win.

[Haugs06]

I think the best fighting game for PS2 is "Where'd all the MAME Roms go?" developed by Nobody Stole Them.

The only thing you can do with my ass is kiss it.
You cant say shit about beating me in Tekken until you can ACTUALLY beat me.

[Deep Eyes]

I still play Capcom Vs. SNK 2, no matter what all these SNKfanboys say, I think it's pretty damn good.

I'd recommend the upcoming Virtua Fighter 4 evolution, especially due to it's 20 dollar price tag, but a lot of people dislike Virtua Fighter's gameplay. I'm extremely curious about Guilty Gear X2, since I keep hearing good things about it.

[Kimmy]

I think the best beat 'em up for the PS2 is Dead Or Alive 2 ^_^
Now that's a fighting game! :D Gameplay is great, characters are nice, arenas are nice, graphics are nice, and the moves are nice ^-^

[elizabethan]

Did no one mention MK: Deadly Alliance? I have a lot of fun w/ that one. Also JoJos Bizzare Adventure deserves props

[Zim]

Yeah deadly alliance rules, though i still cant get past the last stage on Hard :(

[dyce]

personally ive never played vf4
but im a huge fan of vf 2

i used to play it on my saturn , real good with akira

but also im a huge fan of tekken, tag especially
bloody good game, but only challenging.....

another thing
tekken tag on ps2 is ridiculously slow
boring slow....

the person that hates tekken is simply bored of it
maybe because his real good at it

or real crap...

either way there both great fighters......

is vf4 on ps2?
first ive heard...

I could beat u :p:D

[Arthur_Gumby]

Right now, I'd definately say Virtual Fighter 4, but when they come out, I'm probably going to have to switch it to VF4: Evolutions (buying it) and Soul Calibur 2 (buying for GC)

[Arthur_Gumby]

Oh yeah, and how is Guilty Gear X2? I've also heard good things about it, but never really followed 2d fighting games. (could anyone recommend one or two of them? Guys at EB were recommending Marvel vs. Capcom 2..)

[Deep Eyes]

Guilty Gear X2 and Marvel vs Capcom 2 are currently the best 2-d fighting games you'll find on the Ps2. They're both different in a good way, once you're done with one you can proceed to the other.

I bought Inuyasha for the psx, twenty dollars. It's not that good of a fighter, but I like it mostly because I like the show.

They are complete imbeciles for recommending MvC2 over GGXX.

[Arthur_Gumby]

Yeah, I played Marvel vs. Capcom 2 at the arcade and wasn't all that impressed. Felt like just about every other 2D fighter ever made, just with "smart bomb"

[Deep Eyes]

You can't really say that. Guilty Gear is more of a Samurai Showdown type of game where the replay value is not as high as I wish it would be.

Marvel vs Capcom's is easier to get a hang of, and it's number of characters will keep any player busy for a good while, especially if it's a get together.

It doesn't look as good as Guilty Gear, but that's something you should be able to look past. Like I said before, it's a different kind of experience, not one is better than the other.

[dyce]

im not gonna say much here but

ggxx is quite a nice game

but some people dislike that marvel vs capcom style

actually 4 sum reason i really liked marvel vs sf

thats a nice game

dont ask me why...

i saw vf evolutions at the vid store
looks great

but i recomend renting just incase u might
like soul calliber better

MvC2 is just a button masher, 500000000000000000000000 hit super combo, horrid excuse for a game. GGXX actually requires some skill and can be very difficult (damn you Mission Mode).

[Zim]

personally i like MvC2, i dont really like tekken and mortal kombat is the best. Im looking to getting SC when that comes out

[PARANOiA FUN]

As far as I'm concerned

2D: Guilty Gear XX (Capcom vs Snk 2 is also good, but the Xbox versions is better. Same goes for MvC2, but replace Xbox with Dreamcast)
2D: Virtua Fighter 4 or Soul Calibur 2

Not a big Tekken fan, but it's still a pretty good series.

[LeonSKennedy]

Guilty Gear XX.

[Project X-7]

Would anyone consider Armored Core 3 to be a fighting game in some way?

[Action Kamen]

No, that's a mecha combat-sim.

GGXX is great, but sometimes I get tired of seeing people bash MVC2. It's a cute game, and a florrid rush of eye-candy and spastic spectacle. Nothing more, nothing less.

[PARANOiA FUN]

Call me crazy, but I'd consider that bashing to an extent. :rolleyes:

[Zim]

i've never played GGXX myself, but im thinking of getting it as nearly everybody i know shafts it

[Arthur_Gumby]

1 day and a half until Virtua Fighter 4: Evolutions!

[conversepunk]

Tekken 4 the best game ever but I still love Tekken 3

[Project X-7]

I'm also getting VF4:E. I've never played any VF games before, and this one is pretty good for me.

What the hell do u have against me. The hell with you ,that really had nothing to do with this, your just trying to bash me. And when i make a post would you try to stay on topic, god i look at my post to see waht people like, not what people dont cair about:rolleyes:

Is it just me, or do the two new characters look like Backstreet Boys or something?:eek:

[Action Kamen]

Is it just me, or is that totally irrelevant? :D

[Deep Eyes]

VF 4 Evolution looks pretty interesting, I'm mostly eager to fight the AI versions of Japan's best players. I wonder as to how many controllers I'll break out of frustruation..

[Zapotech]

The Guilty Gear games are my favorites.

[C.P.]

In no order.

Guilty Gear X2 / XX.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Tekken 4.
Dead or Alive 2.
Kengo: Master of Bushido.
Capcom vs SNK 2.

plzkthx.

[dyce]

just out of a matter of interest

but is tekken 4 on pal any faster in speed
then the other tekkens?

geez the pals are so slow....

and they wonder why we chip ps2's and
run ntsc games...

if they would speed up the fighting games
then i would go out and buy originals

not caring bout the price tag...



dyce - nbd krew

[Arthur_Gumby]

Ok, I've played it, and VF4: Evo, without a doubt.

I don't see many Backstreet Boys with scars and bolts on their faces.

[SliverShadow]

i do i think its not worth it to buy it just for 3 more people

[Cloc]

Originally posted by SliverShadow

[matti00]

I just rented VF4:Evo and thats the best fighter on PS2 ive played. Too damn hard tho. MK:*DA and MvC2 are good too. But those are pretty much the only ones ive played 'cept Tekken 4 and Tag Tournament. Both of which suck BTW. Tekken has no depth and is shit in general.

[Arthur_Gumby]

Ok, revamping my last post:

If you're looking for a game that requires a lot of skill and dedication, but rewards you with a long amount of gameplay, go with VF4: Evo. If you want a game you can pick up and learn how to play in a few minutes, but can still play for a long time, go with Soul Calibur II. (Or, of course, you can do like I did and get both :))

Yes,I agree. I love this game very dearly. If anything happened to my copy i don't know what I'd do...*sob* Ahem...yes...well then.

I don't know about capcom vs snk2. I've never played it but I want to very badly. It seems like a very nice game.

[RIDKING]

man... wont let this one go eh?
Dont you all know that you have shitty taste in fighting games.. so its just better to agree on disagreeing on whats good and whats not.

I never heard of a difference between speeds with pal and ntsc??? Is there any truth to this? If so I am sure glad I am with the NTSC group ;).

[Afrim]

Hey i was wondering If a PS2 can be chipped from the outside safely?

[Zim]

Originally posted by XpOsUrE

Yup, theres about 10 frames different. PAL is a little slower than NTSC, but no by much

[neverdone]

My Is Guilty Gear X2. It's made for aggressive players and the combos are really fun to try

[Vin Strada]

I like most of the fighting games on ps2 so I'm not sure what I would put down as my best.

[dyce]

yes it is true that thr speeds of pal to ntsc is different

in tekken anyway..

but its funny
i played tekken 4 a few nights ago on ps2 pal at
a friends house and the speed was great
not ntsc speed but still fast

so wat did i do the next day

i went out and bought a ps2 and a memory card and tekken 4
just like i said

any way id like to mention that there was a huge quarrel earlier
in this thread about soul callibur vs tekken

i rented soul callibur
played it
and yes it was a good game

but seriously
why is soul callibur better than tekken?
i personally dont think it is

im really good at tekken
which is maybe why i like ot better...

id also like to mention what a dissapointment vf4 was

it didnt flow if u know wat i mean

i know why tekken is popular now...

i dont mean to offend anybody with this post


dyce

[elizabethan]

tekken, SCII, and VF= te h suck


all 3 games are awful imo, the best 3d fighters are the star gladiotor series :p

[Afrim]

U def cnt say da same ting bout DOA2.

[elizabethan]

yeah... I don't even consider the DOA series "games" to tell you the truth....

DOA= uber-suck ad infinitum...

[Project X-7]

I played that SNK vs Capcom Chaos at the arcade. That game is pretty good compared to Capcom vs SNK 2.

[Afrim]

WHat! Give 1 good reason y not then and never mind da life span.

[dyce]

gladiator series?

i dont recall that game
is that as technical as tekken?

well...

ok ill put it this way

tekken is fun to play when u play someone really good
better than urself even

just the other night i played some one pretty good
for ove 100 matches , all with 5 rounds each!

took bout 7 hours

we got pissed
it was great

you make me laugh, you really do. :lol:

1 good reason? I can give you plenty more....

Hit detection is awful, the combos are all messed up phone dials, the grappling is as weak as can be, the character designs all look the same, it has no really cool moves that make your jaw drop...

Need I go on? It has nothing memorable to add to the fighting genre, and I think the SNK and Capcom honeys are way hotter than the DOA broads any day....

[Afrim]

WHen you put it THAT way it certainly makes me think twice. I'll check on all that next time I play it......

[dyce]

no i played tekken 4 pal again
the shit is slow

anyway
when u boot the game it has a setting
of 50 or 60 hertz

60 is great
arcade speed

but only works on newer tvs

mine comes out back and white


i dont care if the gladiator series is technical

but why is there so many tekken tournaments
and good players around the world

oh i dont know

maybe because tekken is technical

and fun



dyce

[BustaWolf]

Dyce, you seem like the only other hardcare Tekken player here besides me. What characters do you play?

[dyce]

bustawolf

i like that name

terrys mad sdm

anyway

my best charecter is paul
i only use him if i need to win

no , i dont throw
or counter

thats not professional i reckon

some might beg to differ

bryan is really good
i also use kazuya

but seriously
ever since i started playing t 4

steve fox is my fav character

his the best
he doesnt kick
he ducks and sways

so good!
i love that

i love that power punch he does when u press rk
then rp

when it stuns
it looks cool

the stungun is a nice move

when that stuns
oh yeah combo time


any way

id like to mention that tekken in general
can be technical for these reasons

poking
backdashing
sidestepping
how to get out of different throws
combos as well

shoould i go on?

im tired of arguing
if u hate tekken
ok

if u dont
thats fine as well


dyce

[The Painkiller]

Just because it needs to be reiterated:

Guilty Gear XX is the best fighting game on the PS2.

[Myst Man]

you never heard of Star Gladiator 1 & 2 ??

that's cause it's UNDERRATED! It's better than crappy Tekken
it's a 3D weapon based fighter. well, some have weapons, others have giant jojo's or use their claws etc. basically it's an galactic fight, aliens of many races fighting each other in their own ways. You can play Star Gladiator 2 on Zinc (i played it on Impact flawlessly on my PC years ago before zinc came out, so it should run fine on Zinc). Star Gladiator 1 is on psx.
http://www.emuasylum.com/mystlist/STARGLADIATOR.JPG
The main character Hayato is also in Marvel vs Capcom 2. He's in the upper pic slashing


I never played any next-gen system but i'm sure Guilty Gear XX is indeed the best fighter if they kept the magic that was in GG and GGX

[dyce]

thats a good idea

i should dl this game on zinc
and then compare it

though i have high hopes cause u say its good


dyce

[Dr3aMeR4LyPh]

best games:

Tekken 4
Tekken Tag
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Capcom vs SNK
Soul Caliber 2
GGX

End of story. Don't say any more.....

[dyce]

hey a tekken fan
thats great

hey did u think tag was slow in pal?

if ur in america i guess u wouldnt know


dyce

[Kendojosh]

Bustawolf has it right you lot. Tekken Tag is the pinnacle of all Fighting games. I feel I got my moneys worth with FFX with 165 game hours but if I had to estimate the amount of time I put into Tekken Tag it would easily be at least 1000+ game hours. Now thats value for money. My girlfriend and I played that beauty in vs mode about 5-10 hours a week for over 2 years. The only thing that could improve this master game would be Online capability. Oh and on the 2D front, Capcom wears the crown with Street Fighter Alpha 3. - Kendojosh

[dyce]

yes tekken tag was a good game

simply because it was a whole new tekken engine

as in combos etc

if ur any good at tekken then anyone would notice why its
a good game

anyway, when i got my hands on tk4,
the game blew me away

at first i thought,
oh no 1 on 1 again

but the new charecters and moves blew me away....

i think tekken is ONLY any good when u play
someone who is as good or better then urself.....

oh yeah
id also like to mention that tekken is ONLY good at arcade speed,
otherwise its slow and boring


dyce

[Insomnotek]

1.Tekken Tag
2.Tekken 4
3.Virtua Fighter 4
4.Street Fighter 3 3rd strike
5.KOF Series

But Tekken without a doubt is the best Fighting game for console and the arcade what is so fun about TTT is the electrics and the lightdashing.

[elizabethan]

OLD THREAD

that and 3rd strike never came out on PS2, along w/ 99% of KoF..

[matti00]

this thread just doesnt want to die does it?

[Insomnotek]

I forgot this was PS2 only, oh well.

[dyce]

this thread still here?

far out
