I always thought KOF 98 was a grappler festival... Vice, Daimon, Orochi Yashiro and oh I lost.
The best balanced game ever is for sure MvC2. The fact there is a very, very small chance to beat a Cable/Sentinel/Storm team with 3 kobun if the other player throws the joystick and goes to the kitchen drink a beer or two is enough for me...

Virtual On: Ontario Tangram (Version 5.66)

In the hands of an expert, I really believe that every unit has a good chance to smash any opponent if used peoperly.
Some may be easier to use that the others, but IMHO, I can say that there aren't any cheap, unavoidable tactics in this game.

For 2D, I wouldn't say 3rd Strike because of one person: Chun Li =)

I don't play enough 2D games competively, so even though I play KOF 2002 I don't know if anyone's unbalanced...

Of course everyone should know my answer for 3D

'98 has a very large number of usable characters. Yes, most of the grapplers are very good (especially Daimon). However, there are several other characters that did very well in that game (i.e. Chris, EX Ryo, Yashiro, Terry, etc.).

2D: KoF '98, GGXX (Reload's broken), 3S (Chun's retarded-easy, but she's definitely beatable)

3D: VF4

I wouldn't say 3rd Strike either. I go into the arcade and all I see are Chun-Lis, Kens, and Goukis. All three are bastards.
For 2-d, I guess I'll go with Garou. I don't play 3-d fighting games so I can't answer that part.

2D: GGXX, KoF 98, SFIII: 2nd Impact

3D: Soul Calibur. VF4 seemed fairly balanced to me, but I simply have not spent enough time with the game to say for sure.

Keep in mind this coming from someone who is outside of the arcade/tournement sceen, and who dosen't keep up with the latest 'game-breaking' strategies and glitches. As such I could be over looking a number of issues simply because I don't know their existance.

Yeah it is, though in many ways T4 is even worse (Jin is just way to powerful >_<). T3 was probably the last 'balanced' Tekken, which is kind of sad seeing how it was released ages ago. Maybe 5 will fix some of that.

Please... everyone here knows that Shadow: War of Succession was way more balanced than Fight for Life (Though FfL's intro song was way cooler). :)

None of the Tekken games are "balanced" and T4 is garbage. TTT is hella fun, though.

Almost every single character can be effective in 3S. Though the top are most definitely SA III Ken, SA II Makoto, SA III Yun, SA II Chun, and SA III Urien (in about that order), I've seen nearly every character played effectively (except maybe Sean) at a tournament level. 2I, on the other hand, had the insanely broken Gouki (not to mention Ibuki).

Second Impact is broken. ie, Ibuki and Gouki.

Third Strike is not as unabalanced as it might look in the beginning. Several characters really can give Chun Li trouble, like the twins, Ken, Makoto and Q (in the 2nd Cooperation Cup a Q destroys Yukino's Chun Li). There are still tiers, but it has been shown in the past that every character has a chance when used properly. Besides the main five characters (Chun Li, Yun, Ken, Urien and Makoto), I have seen Alex, Ryu, Yang, Q, Hugo, Twelve, Remy, Oro, Ibuki, Gouki, Dudley and Necro at high levels.

So, in professional 2D games, I'd say GGXX and Third Strike. Counting doujinshi, I'd put Eternal Fighter Zero on top. Of course the fact that the game can be patched with balance fixes helps.

2D: 3S, GGXX.

3D: Soul Calubur.

I've not played VF4, but people say it's pretty balanced.

KOF 98 is, as Iggy said, a grapplers festival (more or less like all the KOFs), so is not that balanced.

I'd add Last Blade 2 but I've not played enough.

I've never, personally, considered any of the Soul games all that balanced.

I think the main problem with Soul Calibur 2 is Nightmare. He's just overpowering. None of the characters have his reach, his power, and his ability to knock characters around.

I don't remember the names... the Judoka girl, right?
There was another monster in this game, that was... CATHY WILD!!!!!!
Her voice was the most unbearable piece of crap that ever raped my hears in a fighting game, and she had like 2 or 3 voices she kept repeating over and over again. Any non prepared opponent will flee the room in less than 10 seconds.

About 3rd Strike, I like the triangle Chunli kills Ken kills Yun kills Chunli ; Urien, Makoto and Dudley are quite powerfull... I think everyone except Sean was used at the Tôgeki, which is quite a proof of balance. In a Capcom game, I would say Vampire Savior 1, but I didn't played enough humans to assure it. Besides, I love that game so much even I can't trust myself to be objective with it.
In KOF, I think 2002 is really well balanced. There are weak characters, but I can't think about someone so strong it ruins the game like in 2001. Athena, Choi, Leona, Yuri, Whip, Billy, Yagami as every year, Ralf, Mai, Shermie, Vanessa, Kula... There are many strong characters, and even though grapplers are as strong as ever, the speed helps the fireball characters a lot (Athena, Mai, etc), so much of the cast is strong in a way or an other. And even non fireball or grapplers, like Chin or Billy, range from fairly good to top characters. I do think 2002 is a huge succes in term of balance.

About GGXX Sharp Reloaded : Why is it broken? Robo Ky or other character that went overpowered?

2D? Despite Kev's roulette, MotW is balanced. Gem Fighters...I don't remember having any probs in that game, though you pretty much know that Felicia is no longer as good as her early self. For doujin, I'd say Eternal Fighter Zero is balanced despite limited experience.

3D? VF IV w/o a doubt. Evolution takes it further.

2D: ST and EFZ.
With the exception of extreme counter matchups, everyone's a threat in ST. Personally I don't believe any game can be as balanced as ST simply because every other game is more complicated, and with more complexities comes more loopholes and exploits.

EFZ has some serious scrubbery going on with Nanase, but otherwise is pretty balanced.

Garou had some serious balance problems with the top tier characters, who were far too dominant... and I think that JD in Garou gives back much too much life.

I've heard argument about Killer Instinct 1 (excluding boss Eyedol)... don't know much about that one, tho....

Never had a saturn, so how does Asuka LTD compare with Asuka 120% Burning Fest Final on the PSX?

3D: umm... I can't really speak here... Mace the Dark Age? :p (No other game lets you collect your opponents' heads on spikes...)

now that you mention it, i don't remember being afraid of any of the characters in that game (of course, except for the boss). there were also the combo breakers that helped you against those robotic people that loved doing the same stuff over and over. hmmm
