GameDynamo - "There are a lot of top ten lists out there: the best boxers, basketball players, musicians; it goes on and on. This list, however, is different simply because I, for a fact, know absolutely everything. Just ask me a question… and the answer to that question is "yes!" See? I know EVERYTHING. While I could use my vast, almost omnipotent array of knowledge on something important like hunger or world peace, instead I’m going to settle a vastly more important argument; who is the coolest fighting video game character? Yes, I know. How can one man attempt a task so daunting? Simply put, I’m never wrong…ever."
Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
The fighting genre is full of mini-games, from Street Fighter's car destruction to Tekken Ball. Here's the best Mortal Kombat mini games.
Cultured Vultures: We've gone to the trouble of ranking the Mortal Kombat games across the series' history. Special Forces is clearly number one.
My favorite is always going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know some people didn't like the addition of the run button. But, man that game is burned into my memory from childhood, lol.
That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories
MK2 will always be the best in the series. Been playing a lot of MK1 lately though. Definitely enjoying it more than any other NRS era MK game.
I will always have a special place in my memory for MK 1 and 2. You had to be there during that era at the arcades. Martial arts tournament fighting movies were still popular, and MK 1 was exciting. Real life motion captured characters done well (unlike Pit Fighter). A cast of characters we all liked like Bruce Lee(Lui Kang), Van Damme(Johnny Cage), the Lightning god(Raiden) from Big Trouble in Little China, and Ninjas, gotta have Ninjas. Goro was menacing as hell. The MK arcade had some of the best speakers similar to Killer Instinct as you could hear the loud crisp and bassy sound that was distinctly different than other arcades. MK 2 improved greatly on the controls and fighting mechanics
My list:
Ibuki (SF4)
Adon (SF4)
Sakura (SF4)
Pai Chan (VF5)
Lei Fei (VF5)
Xiaoyu (Tekken)
Steve Fox (Tekken)
Ivy (Soul Calibur)
Tira (Soul Calibur)
Katsumi (Dead Or Alive)
A hard list i suggest have one character from each series. If it was a list about 10 most unique fighters i would give that whole list to Guilty Gear.
for some reason i think nightmare (soulcalibur) has to be my favorite of all time
Nina should've been number 1
