Only just got Budokai 3, and its already the most fun I ever had in a fighting game.
Also, Bushido Blade deserves a mention, because of it being the first and only franchise to do "realistic" sudden death kills right.

One of the best party fighters I've ever played, and sort of does 3d "DBZ" style ki based gameplay better then DBZ games did it.

this is gonna be like "WTF?!" but my fav fighting game of all time is the very first Mortal Kombat. When it came out, it was like so mysterious and such taboo (i was like 9 i think lol). Plus it had the dopest graphic (the refined digital graphic was so cool at the time!). The music, the backstory and the whole eastern Shaolin/Asian appeal was really cool to me. Reminds me of those old 36th Chamber Shaw brothers movies ha. And raiden reminded me of the dude from Big Trouble who i thought was the coolest character ever lol.
In total agreement. MK did for the franchise what Super Mario Bros did for that series. Sure, the sequels refined the concept, but there's always something about that first game, rough edges and all.
Ever see that hologram of Raiden they used to stick in museums. Or at least, it looked just like him. Could have been a random shaolin monk..

Me and my friends would spend hours doing matches with us in a ladder match with Andre the Giant. Merely because his body would twitch in a hilarious way if you knocked him down and then began beating him with a ladder.

Generally, they seem to fall into two camps: Pathetically easy, or cheap (Reading your inputs, using inhuman combos..)
Virtua Fighter 4 evolution's arcade mode seemed to nail an AI that was challenging and fair.

Melee. How many games refuse to die like that game has? Not only has it basically survived two sequels and no help from Nintendo, it has thrived. Compare: One of the most important matches in 06 vs. The most important match of 2016. The crowds are bigger, the players are much better, and the stakes are so much higher since actual E-Sports are involved now. The game inspires people to do really amazing things like raising nearly 100 grand for Breast Cancer and making a documentary cataloging the early days of the meta. It's actually quite stupid but very fascinating from a design aspect.
That said there are also games that are objectively more influential fighting games, like Street Fighter. Melee is just the only one that grabbed my attention personally and I do think that it's continued survival in a world that makes it a chore is fascinating.
You all need to check Out Killer Instinct (the new one.) It's amazing. For 50 bucks you get 25+ characters (a few more will be added this year) and all the extra goodies it's accumulated over the years. It's out for Windows 10 PC now and it's incredible. Best fighting game I've played in years.
