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
and a grab button
seriously, that sucked.
i played soul caliber 2 a bit and it was pretty sick though there were a few character/weapon combinations that were pretty sick- that samurai dude with the damascus blade (no blocks but all moves are counters- night night) and the girl with the night stick things and her top end weapons (same but retains the block). i did like the counter/block breaker system in that though it still allowed button mashers a chance.
when the gameplay is all about learning frame rates and recovery times and when massive combos overtake actual gameplay I lose interest. Same thing happened with Street Fight er 4; I want to fight against someone, not show off how many rote combos I know as well as my knowledge of exploits (such as crossups).
Does not compute.
who wasn't. Sagat was way overpowered. Still is.
Darkstalkers always amused me: the Egyptian mummy had the weirdest moves ever.

I never liked using the weird characters. Usually, it was Kilik or Mitsurugi.

fucking awesome but wrong
never came out but yeah thrill kill...
I used to have a working developers copy which bar the final cut scene worked on the blue ps2 we spent more time on this than pretty much any other fighting game.
then soul caliber
virtua fighter was beautiful but boring
and of course doa was great but en went to eggsbox and went shit...
But...Voldo ftw! How can you argue with a man that does the Caterpillar as an attack!

So many particulars. So many questions.
if you could pull it off nun-chuck man did a move where he span his nunchuks on hs feet and kicked your opponent. Fucking loved that move.

I hated maxi, you hit two buttons and he would be flying around for the next 10 seconds. What a knob.

Soul Calibur - Best character Taki

DOA 2 was awesome. Especially once you unlocked the special outfits.
I was unbeatable with helena. She could just flow from one thing to another and beat the shit out of people.

No dialogue. Just plot.
Hell yeah, used to love that one. Just watched a bit on youtube takes me back a few years.
Favourite console fighters would be Street Fighter or Tekken series. Guile & Law were my favourites.
