Yup it was the first true 3d fighting game. There are so many other fighting games ive played and still own. Eternal Champions, Darkstalkers, Clayfighter, Bloody Roar, Power Stone(which is kind of similar to Smash Bros), Way of the Warrior(3DO), TMNT Tournament Fighters, The Last Blade, World Heroes, Battle Arena Toshinden, the shitty Def Jam fighting game and a bunch of other ones that im forgetting.Forgot about Virtua Fighter. First ever 3D fighting game I think.
Fanboyism aside, it definitely is the best VS franchise ever. Imo SFII is one of the greatest and most important video games of all time.SF will always be my favourite fighter.
SFII is awesome. Crazy how Ryu & Ken were the only returning characters from the first game though.Imo SFII is one of the greatest and most important video games of all time.
Yes almost all of them are good. SFIII was godly and a technical masterpiece, all the SF Alpha games rule and SFIV was the shit and imo probably the greatest modern fighting game around, but SFV might just be better.Do any of the later releases live up to that level of awesomeness?
Haha, yeah? Why's that, cause I'm tall & lanky?I had a feeling you were a Sagat main, suits you perfectly.![]()
i love this pic
Ken is good, his one of my other go to guys. In SFIV Sagat was my main, but i also used Ken, Ryu and Blanka a lot. For the original SFII Guile was my main until the championship and turbo editions came out.I've always mained Ken as boring as that probably is.
Wow, that's crazy. I had a squiz online & saw that SFIII was released in '97. Yet when I was a kid I'd never even heard about it. SFII was still all the rage for several years after its release.Yes almost all of them are good. SFIII was godly and a technical masterpiece, all the SF Alpha games rule and SFIV was the shit and imo probably the greatest modern fighting game around, but SFV might just be better.
SFIV is more similar to the SFII series and is a tad bit more fast paced and SFV is more similar to SFIII in that it's a bit more calculated and technical, that being said they are both still deep as fuck and you would never survive playing others online unless you master whoever you play with. Only fighting franchise that is as deep(and maybe a little deeper) is the King of Fighters games ... which is probably the hardest fighting game series to master.

Think that was more of an American thing in general. Don't think we ever had that arcade culture down here.Did you play at any events or anything? I never grew up in arcades, I feel like I really missed out not having that kind of childhood experience.
