Mortal Kombat.
Originally just the Pepsi Cola of fighters (vs SFII), but then MKII soon dominated the gaming horizon in the era.
The homogenised nature of all the characters led to a greater winner-stays-on-round-your-pals house situation that no other game has ever really matched.
I played Tekken 2 a few years later and was blown away by the moves and play but it will never have my heart like MKII did.
Plus MK had the best fighter-game movie known to man. And that's before I even get to the theme tune

So many particulars. So many questions.
which version let you unlock Noob Saibot?
That one was sick. Noob was like scorpion, reptile and the blue ninja only twice as quick

what, fucking what?
Street Fighter 2
everything after that turned into combo linking bollocks that meant you had no chance against someone who could be arsed learning all the combinations, fighting became less ad hoc and dynamic between two fighters and turned into a series of long input codes entered in like a script.

Precisely why I loved Soul Calibur.
Yes there were a few thumb-twisting moves, but once you had learned how to dodge, block and parry, it became immensely tactical - even if you didn't really use anything much more than the standard strikes.
Most the moves and combos made sense too - they weren't reliant on learning arbitrary sequences, more learning about moves that logically flow together.
Bakunin
I am Noodle's bitch.
I was always either a Guile or Zangief man, personally, with a regular acquaintance with either Ryu or Ken as well.
I had this terrific combo with Guile where I'd wait until the other fighter was in mid-air, then hit them with the somersault kick and go straight into the backbreaker.
And who could deny the awesome satisfaction at finally mastering Zangief's spinning piledriver and practically drilling the other fighter's head through the bottom of the screen?

So many particulars. So many questions.
Zangief was always my least favourite character. I never could win with a slow heavy-hitter. Even with Bison I was shit.
Bakunin
I am Noodle's bitch.
Bison wasn't great, admittedly. I loved Balrog the boxer, though, especially once I'd mastered his straight right and his charming little trick of picking opponents up by the scruff of the neck and repeatedly nutting them into a coma.
I was a dab hand with Sagat as well.

I did get good at that one where you were a hip-hopper. Spent a fucking century unlocking Snoop D oh double Gee.
There's something inherently satisfying about grabbing a bottle from the crowd and shouting 'yeah bitch' while a mate silently fumes and bashes buttons beside you.

Does anyone remember Namco's Soul Blade?
I loved Soul Blade.
I especially liked the way Sophitia said 'I'm sorree!' as she jumped on your shoulders and twisted your neck so it snapped with a satisfying cracking noise.
And Captain Cervantes! with his sword hands!
I always played teh gurlz.

It was a bit bandwidth-tastic.
I just found out that Soul Calibur was the spawn of Soul Blade. I am dead excited, maybe I will be able to play again and WIN ULTIMATELY WITH TOTAL FORCE ABK ABK ABK DEATH DEATH!! like wot I used to do.
I was fucking awesome at that game. So awesome I have never played a fighting game since: it would be a let down and kissing the joy as it flies.

oof
Word to the bird.
Taki was the business too.
used the thrill kill game engine
thrill kill was great
virgin took one look at the censored version and said ''we're not releasing that sick shit, go and make something sensible'' so they gave the un censored version to the pirates and it became a world wide sucsess
Am I the only person who's mentioned DOA?
Come on! Someone else must have been obsessed by this game as a lonely teenager. Each character had over 80 moves, some of which were almost impossible to pull off. Oh, yeah, and of course big bouncing norks

Do the Soul Blade moves still work for Soul Calibur 2? And are the characters the same?

i think so. i started on soul calibur and the moves stayed pretty much the same for most charicters. the charicters are mostly the same. nunchuck guy turned into a different nunchuck guy and they keep adding more.
