| Lopen 05/04/24 9:50:53 PM #6 | I know this feeling from Skyrim
Needs combat/mechanic mods. It's a good game but I'll always mention the mods so it's full disclosure. If I have to rate the game it'll probably be the modded score not the vanilla score, but mentally I'll assign it an arbitrary penalty. The game has native support for modding though so not a big penalty. Most other games I've played the mods are just a fun diversion so they weigh almost nothing. --- No problem!

Virtua Fighter? I don't think so. You'd want Tekken if you were going that way. Virtua Fighter was first but by not even a year-- and Tekken just crushed it in terms of success and didn't come out that much later at all. It'd be like including Fatal Fury or Art of Fighting over King of Fighters. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 05/04/24 6:51:18 PM #118 | Yeah SF4 is actually a good one. I'd probably include it before Smash Melee as well but I'd have to think about it
Games that I think are worth considering for this rushmore Street Fighter 2 Street Fighter 4 Mortal Kombat Mortal Kombat 2 Tekken Tekken 3 Soul Calibur 2 X-Men vs Street Fighter Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 3 King of Fighters 94 King of Fighters 98 Super Smash Bros Melee Super Smash Bros Ultimate Don't think any others really should be in the discussion And yes Ehrgeiz was a failure. The Star Wars game was too. Tournament Fighters I think did fine. The Marvel vs Capcom games were pretty good successes though and I think that's all the encouragement Square would need there. Again hard to know but the WELL MADE Fighters with licensed properties were having their share of success well before Smash came along so it seems wrong to say it pushed anyone aside from the straight knock offs. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
| Topic | What four games belong on the Fighting Games Mount Rushmore? +TIEBREAKER |
| Lopen 05/04/24 6:04:34 PM #115 | I don't agree. I think Ehrgeiz existing and predating Smash kinda refutes that one-- Square was already experimenting with putting its characters in fighters. Unless you're saying fighters never experiment with alternate damage systems without Smash? I don't really agree there either-- Square made the Bushido Blade games which were experimenting with weird damage systems too. Mixing franchises? Again the Marvel vs Capcom games were already doing that. Heck there was Star Wars Masters of Teras Kasi experimenting with that kinda stuff too. You yourself mentioned TMNT Tournament Fighter, even, which was an early example of using established characters for a fighting game.
I mean it's hard to know but I just think Smash was late to the party to really put much of the appeal to it. It's not like the games before it doing the same kinda things were flopping. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

I dislike using sales numbers as a barometer of impact. That feels like least common denominator stuff. I agree and only went into those weeds cause Ulti did to be clear. Though a straight "sales" rushmore isn't too bad. You'd basically want a rep from SF, Tekken, MK, and Smash. Which is fine, just not the one I'd pick --- No problem!

You do realize Tekken as a series (alone) has sold pretty close to what Smash as a series has right Ulti. Add in Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive, Virtua Fighter, and whatever other ones did anything and 3d fighters probably beat platform fighters in terms of total sales pretty convincingly Granted Tekken has like 3x the games Smash does but it shows your ignorance to say 3d fighters don't have any ground to stand --- No problem!

Clearly it was The King of Fighters '94. Kids seeing all those SNK characters together in a fighting game must have been a treat to them. Honestly feel KoF94 unironically deserves credit for the crossover stuff and team based stuff that's why I was thinking about KoF to begin with. Just think 98 kinda "represents" that influence about as well and was way more popular (kinda like Melee is, rightfully, getting votes over Smash 64) --- No problem!

2.5d fighter 3d fighter For me that's basically it. Like I guess you could dig up specific things like "tag fighter" or "gory fighter" or "crossover fighter" which to me is the finer subdivisioning where you start putting platform/party fighters aka Smash in.

You can argue the fact that almost all of them suck is a reason to exclude Melee but to say it's had no impact on the genre is flatly untrue I think the fact that all of them suck is exactly why it has had very little impact on the genre You've got Smash Bros and a few platform fighters that no one sniffs about. It's not influence on the genre-- it's a hit game that people are trying to copy to get some easy money. If 3D style Fighters were all a joke aside from Tekken I'd argue Tekken shouldn't really be here either. But you've got several successful franchises that didn't directly copy Tekken as much as use elements and build off them to be their own thing. That's the difference between real influence on the genre and being in a profitable vacuum like Smash is. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 05/04/24 1:36:52 PM #57 | Melee getting so many votes that say "oh yeah it's always on here 100%" is just evidence of what you get when you have a group of people who don't really play fighting games make a Rushmore for fighting games.
Like I'm not saying Melee or Ultimate can't at least be considered for this but full stop the only "this is a total lock" entry in this one is Street Fighter 2. There are just too many milestone entries, and popularizing a subgenre of fighting games and overall sales figures is a compelling reason to vote Smash Bros but in terms of the genre itself I feel it influenced little aside from "made a few very high selling popular games"-- it's really off on its own island in terms of penetration into the genre. --- No problem!

"It has a good website" shouldn't be a reason to not go into a store. People would go into Amazon if they had storefronts.
