[QUOTE] What would be the 9 fighting games you'd pick for an ideal tournament? Doesn't have to be recent. [/QUOTE] 3rd Strike, in team format (preferably teams of five, like in Co-op Cup). Guilty Gear AC or AC+, in team format. (I pick this over Xrd because the two AC games represented the final dead-end evolution of the Guilty Gear XX line, where mechanical complexity had reached maximum levels, offensive capabilities were stupidly high, and the game was by far the least beginner friendly of any of the GG games). Tekken 7, in team format (the Master Cup tournament in Akiba alone proves the worthiness of this title and this format, and not having a 3D fighter feels wrong) KOF 2k2UM, with Nameless banned because he's stupid and while the game is kinda fugly it's the wildest KOF game where matches aren't full of corner death and we need a KOF title DBFZ because it's the new hotness One Must Fall 2097 because that game is awesome (air re-hit is on, one tournament for the mode where you have all the upgrades, one tournament for where you can only use the pre-set characters + mechs) Eternal Fighter Zero because it's my favourite doujin fighting game ever. Hokuto no Ken in team format, a given team may not have more than one of Rei/Toki/Raoh. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, going by whatever ruleset SQ wants. NOTEWORTHY EXCLUSIONS: VSav: I don't like watching competitive matches of this game at all! To me it just looks like nonstop dashes into universal chains! Karnov's Revenge: It would mean giving up one of the others in spite of how much I love BALLOOOOOOON CvS2: I played a TON of this game in arcades, but you know what? It isn't actually much fun to watch. KOF XIII: I don't like watching competitive matches of this game that much. Virtua Fighter anything: I don't understand VF well enough to appreciate matches of it. Soul Calibur anything: you know what, go ahead and substitute Tekken for this Samurai Shodown anything: you know what, go ahead and substitute KOF for this Suiko Enbu: Hokuto no Ken is already there for wall splat combos, same with GGAC Touki Denshou: Hokuto no Ken is already there MvC2: .................................. I'm so sorry, I don't have a good excuse for leaving this one out. This game is kinda fugly, but damn do I love watching competitive matches of it! Delete? To delete this post, check this box.
