SF gameplay never get old,i recommend gamerz to also try VF5 it's a masterpiece.

hay5390d ago

I care to disagree. I know that opinion is like as$ but I played SF series from early 90s and IMO SF4 was big disappointment. BlazBlue is a lot better in any way. Duh, Soul Calibur 4 was more fun for me.

TheHater5390d ago

have to agree. Blazblue is a lot better fighting game that all those other games on that list.

immortal845390d ago

BlazBlue is a very good game i played it on xbox360, and i enjoyed it a lot.
The list of the best 5 fighting games vary from one person to another.

@immortal84: That's why I marked it's only my opinion three times.

biloz5390d ago

man the more they do changes in SF the more it will get far from its origin, SFIV was nothing near disappointment for me but anyways i do respect ur opinion

Keowrath5390d ago

List fails for putting DC vs MK anywhere near it.

biloz5390d ago

did u try it (DC vs MK)??

Keowrath5390d ago

Yeah, I picked it up for cheap a while ago and still have it. I've completed the MK Universe story but never managed to get around to the DC side of things (I'm not a massive DC fan anyway, Lobo is the only character in the DC universe I've enjoyed and I think he's a brilliant character but sadly he was excluded from the game)

I'm one of those shallow MK fans, the only worthwhile thing it brought to the table was over the top death moves and the odd funky character. I absolutely adored MKII but it was never for the actual gameplay. Mortal Kombat back then brought something new to the table which it's been trying (in vain) to do ever since but IMHO the series has just got worse over the years (And yes, I still own pretty much every Mortal Kombat that's been released)

This is a list of best fighting games this generation and due to it's clunky gameplay DC vs MK fails and is noway in the same league as SF IV, SC IV, VF5, Blazblue and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online... Hell even Battle Fantasia is a better fighter!

I Don't hate MK, not at all! I hope MK9 somehow manages to go back to it's roots and maybe even have a decent fighting engine behind it.

biloz5390d ago

man Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is not that shallow fighting game, well at least it was one of those games that can be played by both hardcore gamers and casual ones and it has a really solid online gaming ability.

now regarding the game play i found it really entertaining and challenging maybe,I spent hours and hours playing with my friends and it was nothing but fun, now at the end of the day its still just my opinion and even if u agreed only on 3 of my selection i can still say that we have a good match ;)

The 7 Best Street Fighter Games: Exploring the Franchise

The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?

Soul Calibur IV - 15 Years of Soul

Soul Calibur IV launched worldwide 15 years ago, bringing with it the best performance of the series to date.

Terry_B262d ago

Hell no. It was the start of the downfall (SCV) of the series. Huge downstep from the giant SCIII

purple101262d ago

Switched to unreal engine. Ruined it.

Yi-Long261d ago (Edited 261d ago )

Used to love this series, probably my favorite 3D fighter, perhaps together with the now also dead Dead or Alive (2-3-4), but as with so many games in the fighting genre, their short-term greed (season passes) has made me lose all interest, sadly …

sagapo261d ago

Yeah, I remember playing Soul Caliber on my dreamcast at the time, that was insane!

sosro261d ago (Edited 261d ago )

the first three are much better games.

Walweeze261d ago

Loved Number 2 and 3( loved all the solo modes like chronicle of the sword ) so was super hyped when 4 came out but the lack of single player content was disappointing. Still love soul calibur to this day though

DarXyde260d ago

2 was definitely the golden era of Soul Calibur for me. I was a bit conflicted about it at times because there were 3 different versions (I liked the PS2 version for controls, I liked playing as Spawn the most, and I thought the addition of Link was really awesome). Even so, the single player content was outstanding. Easily the most fun I've had with a fighting game, followed closely by Tekken 5's single player modes

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde304d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12304d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde304d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B304d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B304d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h304d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

Redgrave304d ago

Terry_B304d ago

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

gold_drake304d ago (Edited 304d ago )

eyyy max xD

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

GhostScholar303d ago

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
