		crystalmethod and I are working on catagorizing games by genre and trying to rank them. Since the Sega consoles have a great abundance of excellent fighting games, I figured we would start with them. I'm also a bit of a connoisseur of 2D fighters. I'm separating the 2D and 3D fighters since IMO they are very different. I have ranked the games I am familiar with in order of what I think of them. If I have left some exceptional game, please let me know. Also please advise me of any adjustments in ranking that should be made. I would like 2 votes for different people to be made in order for an actual change to be made. Fighting 2D: Street Fighter Alpha 2 - Saturn Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Dreamcast Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Dreamcast Fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves - Dreamcast X-Men vs Street Fighter - Saturn Guilty Gear X - Dreamcast Capcom vs. SNK 2 - Dreamcast Capcom vs. SNK - Dreamcast King of Fighters '99 Dream Match - Dreamcast Street Fighter Zero 3 - Saturn Last Blade 2 - Dreamcast Marvel vs. Capcom - Dreamcast Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - Dreamcast Darkstalkers - Saturn Super Street Fighter IIX - Dreamcast Street Fighter Collection - Saturn Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition - Genesis Super Street Fighter II - Genesis Vampire Chonicles - Dreamcast Marvel vs Street Fighter - Saturn X-Men Children of the Atom - Saturn Eternal Champions - Genesis Eternal Champions - Sega CD Mortal Kombat II - Genesis Mortal Kombat III - Genesis Mortal Kombat 2 - 32X Cyberbots - Saturn Fighting 3D: Soul Calibur - Dreamcast Fighters Megamix - Saturn Virtua Fighter 2 - Saturn Virtua Fighter 3tb - Dreamcast Power Stone - Dreamcast Virtua Fighter Remix - Saturn Power Stone 2 - Dreamcast Virtual ON: Oratrio Tangram - Dreamcast Virtua Fighter Kids - Saturn Virtual ON - Saturn Project Justice - Dreamcast Dead or Alive 2 - Dreamcast Dead or Alive - Saturn Virtua Fighter - Saturn Last Bronx - Saturn

		Hm.. gotta add Eternal Champions (original and its Sega CD sequel). Those are a given. Hm.. What're some other good fighters.. Art of Fighting is good on MD/Genny, but of course it's at it's best on an actual Neo Geo. Edit: I just noticed the Eternal Champions gamse. Hm.. King of Fighters 2000, 2001, and 2002 for DC. Capcom vs SNK and Capcom vs SNK 2 for C. King of Fighters 96, 97, and 98 on Saturn (were 94 and 95 released on Sat?) Edit 2: Just noticed the Capcom vs SNk games.

		It's hard to suggest how you change it without us all submitting our whole list in order. You missed Street Fighter 3: Double Impact (better conversions than Third Strike IMO), and I really don't think Alpha 3 deserves to be that high given what else is on the list. Personally I'd have MvsC 2 higher than the prequel also.

		OK, would somebody who has lots of KOF experience, please rank the different itterations BTW, '99 Dream Match is basically KOF 98

		I think people are just gonna keep entering in their own suggestions in which case, as Myname stated, people will just be submitting their own lists.....Cut some of the games that are redundent off...(i.e. who would vote for Dead or Alive on Saturn after DoA2 came out on DC?) and just create a poll....if people's favourites aren't there, they should just vote for what is.

		racketboy	Jun 25, 2003
		when it comes to redundant games (esp KOF), I don't know which ones to cut. I've heard '98 and '97 were a good pair. Anybody else agree. I'll leave the current poll up just to see how it goes.

		guilty gear on dc is THE most sexy 2d fighter on any sega console, kof on dc is fuck ugly, guilty gear is bonerlicious

		For 2D, I'd vote Street Fighter Alpha 2. For 3D, I'd vote Soul Calibur.

		2D : Street fighter alpha 2 3D : Virtua Fighter 3

		Looks like we have a runaway winner...I like that. It shows that everyone can agree that one game is cream of the crop...lets see how this pans out.

		2D streetfighter --- saturn 3d project justice ---- dreamcast ------------------- -------------------- -------------------- --------- Side note Killer instinct is the best fighter....for so many reasons!!!!!
