A travesty has been committed! - The gamefaqs poll

Dan Hibiki · 04-16-2004, 09:27 PM

It is difficult to quantify what game is the best overall. Games need to measured on the ultimate impact on the video game industry, and the way things are done, and not on sales, or how many fan boys swear by it as their Holy Bible.

Street Fighter II started a revolution, showing the real interest and marketability of fighting games as a whole. It launched a massive fervor for many years of a real barrage of fighting games, launching an almost entirely new genre. Heck, it LAUNCHED the fighting genre into the mainstream. Easily the most important fighting game ever.

Final Fantasy VII brought many revolutions to the table for RPGs. It showed the real interest in a 3-D RPG, and showed the effectiveness of pre-rendered scenes at conveying story. It, unfortunately, didn't leap light-years ahead in story-telling or expressive music (FFVI was much better at expressive music). No truly unique gameplay elements either.

Street Fighter II is the winner here. Did so much more for its genre.
