The Best Fighting Game Ever

[Cyberxion]

I seriously loathe VF4. The earlier Saturn versions were fun, but this was 'meh' at best. =\

Anything Capcom from the early SNES era to date. Capcom's fighters never lose their charm, no matter how old. Those collaborative projects with Marvel/SNK also included.

Other than Capcom's 2D fighters, I would say Namco's Soul Calibur II and Tekken.

Are you serious? VF4 is head and shoulders above the other games in the series. To each thier own, I guess.

I do agree with you about Capcom's fighters, in that they are some of my favorites. I still play Marvel VS Capcom 2 all the time. However, they do tend to lose thier charm after the millionth iteration of what is essentially the same game.
See, Capcom likes to rest on thier laurels, and that has led to complacency. When you see great 2-D fighters such as the Guilty Gear series come to the market bringing along some cool innovations, it becomes harder to stomach the fact that Capcom hasn't released a truly innovative fighter since Street Fighter Alpha III. In fact, thier recent release, ironically entittled Capcom Fighting Evolution, didn't evolve the genre at all.
