Hey /vr/, what is the best pre y2k fighting game? One of my favourite genres as you can play as little or as long as you want, almost always able to play with a friend, and you constantly are getting better.

I know it gets a lot of flak from hardcore fighter guys, but Mortal Kombat Trilogy always provided some pretty intense matches in my neighborhood.

Back when Mortal Kombat was pretty much the only fighting game I had played (I might have touched Sango Fighters and One Must Fall), our family visited a pc store that had some games in a . I got a 2-in-1 Pro Pinball package (The Web and Timeshock!) which was pretty awesome, but my big brother got a 2-in-1 with some game I don't remember (it was a action platformer and I thought it was Blade Runner, but apparently that's a point-and-click adventure so it couldn't have been it) and SAMURAI SHODOWN 2. It totally changed my image of fighting games in general with the simple controls (when compared to MK's "button for every fucking thing" and retarded command moves), unique characters and beautiful pixel art.
Afterwards my brother introduced me to emulating and since then SNK fighters have been the standard for me. Even though I'm not good at them at all (because of the lack of human opponents (ie. friends)), I still love playing them.
In addition to SS2, I would say Last Blade 2 and Garou: MOTW are my biggest favorites.

Has anyone played this?

I rented this once when I was a kid and thought it was pretty awesome. Rented Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. one time, too, but I forgot what that was like.

terry is kinda cheap "OK" but not cool.
also, why the fuck does he use flames?

K' is still the coolest, specially in his design for KOF XIII.
Iori was awesome, but now is getting more gayer as fuck in every new version.
And pretty much every new character in KOF is fucking gay.

> My list of games probably would be:
KOF 99, and any other KOF pre 2k.
SFA3
Tekken 3
Killer Instinct
UMK3

sword fighting games never interested me, so fuck those.

My local arcade had a fucking legit cabinet for this game. I don't remember it being super great, but I had a fucking ton of fun with it. I've never actually seen a cabinet anywhere else.

Last Blade 2 is great. Garou is a WTF for me. Complicated powerbar BS.

Also, Art of Fighting 3 has nice combos too (kinda Tekken like). It is underrated & bashed because it's not like AOF2 though.

Why do you consider UMK superior to MKT?

I had this. It was very technical (you couldn't get away with button mashing), and quite difficult. I used to just play multiplayer against my younger brothe and kick the shit outta him. The other game I hired for a weekend but hated it.

Tekken 3 is best fighting game of all time
