2d is for fast gameplay, 3d is for slower gameplay because u can do combos in street fighter but in tekken tag u can only do a few hits and some moves are slow and something is wrong with their jumps... lol

I have to disagree with you there, Tarkan. There was this guy at work that would go on and on about how great he was at Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and fighting games in general. I'd never really played Tekken before I met him, but his cockiness motivated me, so I bought Tekken 3 and started training. I learned all the combos and moves for about 3 or 4 different characters, and challenged him. I was pretty confident going in to it, but I must say I was humbled greatly after playing him. He perfected me the first round we played, and I barely touched him the second. It's like he was ready for everything. He knew all the special moves and counters for everybody. It didn't matter that I had spent all that time learning my 3 main characters, he knew what to do and when to do it, and he had a very unpredictable strategy. Also, he never picked the same character twice. It may be true that a button masher may occasionally get lucky and randomly win a few rounds here and there, but I think that a true veteran of Tekken would wipe the floor with a newbie. The game is very complex.

As far as why I still like 2d games, it's because I grew up playing them. I've been playing video games since the days of of the 8-bit NES, and some of the best games I've ever played had crappy graphics. I put gameplay before graphics. There are plenty of decent 3d games out there, but how many of them will you remember 5 years from now as one of the greatest of all time? Street fighter is legendary.

2D and 3D each has its own advantages, but as far as Street Fighter goes how can ANYONE hate it?!? That game is legendary! It has already made Video Game History! As for Tekken experienced players can destroy those button smashers by easily countering their moves. :biggrin:

to me i don't really see a difference between the graphix of 2d and 3d games. i wouldn't even call them 3d and 2d. they're both 2 dimensional on a screen.

Physicals, my question to you is, why do you play 3-D games?
Im guessing your answer will be because "they're better!"

Well, take that reason and turn it around, that'd be mine and most of the people here's answer!


But more reason:
1) Because SF is the 2nd game I ever played in my life. (A system game)

2) Because it has a real nice series to it and it's an anime...

and
3) Because It's better than any other fighting game out... such as VF4 and Tekkens and shizo..

2D is the best for street fighter and any other anime game because of the basic graphics there's room for better game play and more characters a perfect example would be Street fighter something (can't remember might not be anything inbetween) Three it's made in 3D which is preaty cool graphic wize but the game over all sucks there's only about 14 characters and the supers super suck you have to choose only one you'll use and Ryu's shin Hadoken is a joke it's so slow you can just jump over it or cancel it out.Only good thing I found was if you're useing Eliza you can just take a beeting and still kick there ass because of her recovery move that's about the beat thing of the whole game. :( It's so #### slow you could beat the first stage of Mvs.Sf before Ken is don't releaseing his super! And that class is why Street Fighter and any other anime game is best played on a 2D platform.
Any quetions?

No questions here lol... :biggrin:

This same topic has been going on in senshuk...

I wonder what dan is gonna say about this...


Anyway, I think that a game has to have these things to be a great game (and everyone should agree with me):

1.Good controls
2.cool moves
3.good characters
4.An innovative combat system (one that works well and has lots of combos)
5.Lots of fighting styles
6.multiple modes of play (not entirely necessary to all but still makes the games a lot better)
7.Has to be... ...well... fun.

Add on your opinion to this. :)

Well SF has a better learning curve then the other two series. The graphics done are very awesome. The moves are spectular. SF has plenty of characters to chose from so boredom can't happen. 3rd Strike may not be the biggest combo game, but nonetheless the game engine was well done. Personal choice, everybody has a different opinion.

Personally i think that tekken is the single most greatest 3d fighting game ever but its slow. i prefer the 2d because they are much easier to control and the characters look better.
