After a sad and unfortunate slump in the days of the PS2, the fighting game has come back in full force. EVO is bigger than ever, the fighting game community is incredibly strong, and new fighting games are coming out all the time. It feels like the old days of playing Street Fighter II in the arcades all over again. So let's take a look back at how we got here. Here are the ten best fighting games of this console generation.
Taiwan has published ratings for the PSP versions of Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur, for release on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Tekken is an outstanding fighting game series that has repeatedly upped the ante in both graphics and mechanics, but what’s just as exciting are the games’ soundtracks. Here are the Top 7 Tekken songs from across the series to get you pumped up for battle!
Fighting games and music have a long and storied history together. Here are five of the best fighting game stage themes throughout video game history.
Tekken Tag Tournament 1 Arcade OST - Nina Williams
Street Fighter 2 - Ken stage, Ryu Stage, Vega (Claw), and Guile
Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Karin theme
Tekken 3 Arcade OST - Hidden Characters Theme
Super Street Fighter 2 - Fei Long CPS1 version (found on Hyper SF2 A.E.)
Tekken 2 Arcade OST - Kazuya and Devil theme
Marvel vs Capcom 1 - Strider Theme, Ryu, and Roll
Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.
I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.
Sad to see Tekken so low on the list, but definitely understandable ( wasnt as great as Dark Resurrection, or the same appeal as T3 all those years ago...). Hopefully Tekken Tag Tournament 2 revives the series to its former glory.
where is VIRTUA FIGHTER???????
Horrible list. Tekken 5 and 6 are not the same at all. Items can be turned off in Brawl. Where is Virtua Fighter? Marvel vs. Capcom 3 IS the most UNBALANCED fighting game to release this generation and it's sitting at number 2. How? Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is better. Unable to see how it "barely" made the list.
