Best beat-em-up of all time?
What do you think is the best fighting game of all time? Do you prefer the button mashing of DOA... or the all out fun of Super Smash Bros. ?

Barbarian (or Death Sword for some) by Palace, followed by IK+

Few moves, but deadly and more about out thinking your opponent than who knows the best combination of buttons faster.

Tekken, it's the reason I bought my PSX, and the reason why my interest in gaming continued.

Street Fighter 2 alone beats every other series...throw in the new one coming out and it's the hands down winner

My 2nd vote would have been "Killer Instinct", I loved those two games!

"ULLLLLLLLLLTRAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

I went with smash bros. I spend so much time playing that game with friends that it's sad. Can't wait for the Wii game either.

Killer Instinct is also up there as well.

just thought of it..

Anyone Recall the game (fairly recent)

that had kick ass hand to hand combat as well as some shooting.. mostly hand to hand kick assness..... to bad some of the gameworlds were good and bad... but the general gameplay was brilliant... wish someone would have taken that route to the next lvl....

Judas those games are all of a different genre. I'm pretty sure this poll is for fighting games which are popular due to playing against human players.

Double Dragon 2 was good, up there with Streets of Rage

What about golden axe? That game was great on Sega and arcade

EDIT: Yeah streets of rage was a blast with a couple people playing.
