Favorite Fighting Games

Starting with merely two characters punching and kicking each other in the beginning of the Fighting genre, it compelled many gamers right from the start. It was the ideal genre for two-player co-op, even in this early stage, but eventually the genre evolved: special moves were added as well as combos, a story-mode, mini-games and several gauges to fill or empty during combat. Naturally, the graphics evolved as well but they mostly didn't effect much of the gameplay, and when games started to cross-over several franchises, the genre exploded.

    What PS2/PS3/PS4/XBox One fighting game you guys would recommend for single player story mode? I love playing games for story but at the same time I want good fighting game. I loved adventure mode in Soul Calibur on dreamcast but I wish it went bit farther. Is there any fighting game series with sort of RPG elements, storyline, adventure stuff, unlockable stuff, character customization etc.?

    I hear Soul Calibur II, Soul Calibur III and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax are pretty good for that?

      Editing … I've never played a Smash Bros game before and have no desire to ever do so; do you think this franchise is overrated?

      Editing … 1- IN MY OPINION!!! SSB is not a fighting game. 2- All three games are in the top 4!!! REALLY!!! I could see one but all three! I know these list's are just what's popular, but seeing that is just sad.

      Editing … The fact that the Smash Bros. games are dominating the top 4 just speaks to the niche nature of the Fighting game genre. If one assumes Smash is a fighting game (I think it is, but I don't have any problem with people saying it isn't), then it's the most accessible series in the genre by a wide margin. Ergo, for a lot of people, Smash is the only series in that genre they will even play.

      Editing … Yeah that's why i said these list's are just for what's popular, but it still just looks wrong to see them there. I just had to do an Ulty and rant about it.

      Editing … I could never get into the Smash Bros. series (or any party brawler, for that matter). They always have me jonesing for a real fighter, and it's not even one of my favorite genres.

      Editing … You're mad at SSB? I'm more angry at button mashers and awful games like Dissidia in the top 20 and a distinct lack of SNK's fighting games who helped define what they are today.

      Editing … I'm mad that their are three SSB games in the top four spots. I agree with that SNK games should be way higher but im not surprised because their a niche franchise (at least niche in NA & PAL) in a niche genre.
