Full Version: 2011: The Year Of Fighting Games

I have been reading some articles and comments on a few sites including Shoruken.com, IGN and Gamespot, that 2011 is a great year for fighters. If we take a look at more recent fighters and also this years or upcoming ones, we have Blazblue Continuum Shift, Tekken 6 or whatever one, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken X Street Fighter (I'm guessing this is Namcos version), Super Street Fighter IV and its arcade edition, The King Of Fighters XIII and Mortal Kombat.

Starting with Continuum Shift, it's IGN Review got 8.5. This is a great score, though it's predecossor Calamity Trigger received an outstanding 9.4. I traded in Calamity Trigger for Continuum Shift, and I was very pleased. Many comments say Calamity Trigger was an excellent game, but Continuum Shift was even better. "Repeated content isn't something that would really effect any gamer" are some comments that I have been reading.

I'm not really going to bother with Tekken, and I'm sure even though it's one of the major series of it's genre of gaming, people will rather get addicted to Street Fighter X Tekken.

Like Tekken, Street Fighter was another huge series, but Street Fighter is a lot more popular. It's a great series, and from its latest addition which was Super Street Fighter IV, it had excellent reviews. Then Super Street Fighter IV came in and received an even better score. According to SNK, The King Of Fighters XIII couldn't have a console release seeing all the additions Street Fighter was receiving. I own Super Street Fighter IV, and when I first tried it out, I found it to be a great game, but not outstanding. The only reason I thought this was due to the slower paced gameplay, though that was only opinion. I've gotten used to it, and I play it quite often. And now Capcom is making an Arcade Edition...

One of the very popular games that just recently came out was Marvel Vs Capcom 3. This is the best game that I have ever played in my life. IGN said it could have been a little better, but it's still a great game. They rated it 8.5, just like Continuum Shift. IGN was going about it's lack of modes and other minor changes such as roster, which Marvel Vs Capcom 2 had. It has many useful modes such as training and mission, and Gamespot thought it was good, unlike IGN. Just like Mortal Kombat and it's review, people thought the score was too little. A few other people thought that the games new style such as the fast gameplay and new 3D sprites didn't appeal to them. The game is still probably the fighter of the year, along with Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat is also a major fighter. Though Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is a huge craze, Mortal Kombat overcame it, even with a worse score. The game looks awesome. It returns to its violent roots, and even adds a new X-Ray attack. "It represents a more mature gaming audience," say fans and reviewers. The game is awfully bloody, and it's very uncomfortable to watch breaking spines and slicing bodies in half. The game is even banned in Australia! But that is what half the fun is. The gameplay is excellent, and it's got awesome new modes. Mortal Kombat is another fantastic game, and it's a definite must buy for hardcore gamers.

The King Of Fighters XIII. I'm sure most of you haven't even heard of this, but it's a old series by SNK. Its been quite popular back in the day, and I used to always play it. The King Of Fighters XII was considered horrible to most people, and IGNs verdicts main positive view of the game was its excellent gameplay. 6. 'Passable'.
The King Of Fighters XIII is now becoming extremely popular and looks great. I suggest you to check it out on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW3pXC_6x9U

What are your thoughts on these fighters?
And keep it civil!

"there is no spoone"-the matricks
Most of those are great, but I wish a brand new IP would come and crush the others.
2012: The Year Fighting Games Died.
2013: Fighting Games become undead.
Tekken tag tournament is the only tekken related game coming 2011. Sfxtekken. And tekkenxsf are 2012 and later.

Snk fighters are done. Every year they bring a game and every year they suck. It's not the 90's anymore.

Blazblue and guilty gear, games i wish i were good at t.t?

Imo sf4 is trash with trash game mechanics but that's just my thoughts. Aracde edition comes out in june and daigoh has switched to yun.

Mvc will always have yipes. Thats good enough. :p

More like 2015.
mvc3 is realy good but it could have been better likw with more characters i would have like to see megaman our venom in it and i hate team arial combos im doing a aircombo with zero when i accidentally hit the analog stick and i have to hurry up and change my combo pattern.
Looks like Scamco is about to announce a new Soul Calibur...
what i love soul caliber hopefuly this one will be for the 360 unlike the last one.
SNK fighters don't suck, it was just the The King Of Fighters XIII which was bad. The King Of Fighters XIII looks great, and you probably don't know what they've gone through in the recent years to make this.
Mortal Kombat and MVC3 are probably the best though.
Wow, I am a big fan of Tekken and I had no idea that there was a Street Fight X Tekken game in development. Any news on the release date?

I thought that there was a tekken tag already, unless there will be a part two.........
Ttt2.

Heihachi has head of hair. It's weird...
but it's not meant to follow the tekken timeline anyway.

And how do you know I'm telling the truth?
Strangely, the only fighting game I ever bought and never regretted buying was BlazBlue: Continuum Shift.

Mortal Kombat looks good, but...I dunno, I just have a real hard time to get into those fighters. Gotta get repetitive, at one point, right?
Well the draw of fighting games, at least for me is the competition. If you have no one to play with, then yeah it gets pretty boring.

I'm a huge tekken fan but i quit playing tekken 6 pretty quickly cause the scene for it in my area wasnt that strong.

Super stoked about soul cal 5.
And tekken tag is actually being released in japanese arcades by the end of this year. So im hoping usa release on consoles spring of 2012.
Dont you think Marvel vs Capcom 3 was awesome? I don't get how anybody could think it could've been better. Why do you guys think it wasn't as good as expected?
Also 3rd strike HD is hopefully coming out this year. I can't stand super camp fighter 4.
