*Not counting Smash because I don't want this to become a debate about whether Smash is technically a fighting game or not.

Anyway, I haven't seen this question asked here in quite some time, so please state your case.

Smash isn't a fighting game and even if it was it's certainly not one of the best

Lol Smash is obviously a fighting game. It could also be considered a party game but people who say it's not a fighting game are either trolling or being deliberately obtuse.

Anyway, Melee's the best and Ultimate's 2nd (:

Best in what way?

Aesthetic? Likely CVS2

Freedom of options? Likely GGXXAC+R

Balance? Debateable but likely VF5:FS

Huge thriving playerbase? SF4

Woah that's Crazy? BBTag is pretty nuts

Spectator wise? MvC3

etc

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Street Fighter III, 3rd Strike
Tekken 3
SoulCalibur 2
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (broken as fuck but damn it's fun to watch)

Those are some of the most agreed-upon classics. For my takes on more recent ones that need some time before they can 100% join the above:

Mortal Kombat 11
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2
Tekken 7 (this one is almost guaranteed)

Third Strike
CvSNK2
Accent Core

That strikes me as the holy trinity of classics. We've had a lot of stuff clawing at that league lately though.

i think this question is completely subjective

i know that high level players really like complicated games that require a high level of practice before they are enjoyable at all

on the other hand, my friends and i are really bad at fighting games, so we like ones that are easier to pick up. i think the modern nether realms games (mortal kombat, injustice) are super fun to pick up and get better at.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

dreamcast version is the best and most accurate port.

ps2 is slightly faster I think. either one is faithful to original arcade version.

GCN and Xbox versions had the EO controls that some didn't like

Soul Calibur 2
Tekken 3
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike
Super Street Fighter 4
King of Fighters 98

I want to also say Smash Ultimate, but mostly because of the incredible roster and not so much gameplay, but it feels weird to nominate a game still in vogue.

Soul Calibur 2 and Tekken 3 are still my favorites after all these years.

Tekken Dark Resurrection is also probably my favorite handheld fighting game.

Loved Vanilla. Actually loved Super just a bit more, but thats because Im a Honda main, and he was at the peak of his powers at that time.

But as a whole, SF4 is my favorite game of all time.

I happened upon this recently and was pleasantly surprised. If anyone doesn't feel like setting up a Dreamcast for CvS2 you can at least download this off Steam for the price of nothing.
