Best fighting game franchise out of these

Virtua Fighter

Tekken

Mortal Kombat

Street Fighter

Marvel Vs Capcom

Soul Calibur

King of Fighters

Which franchise do you think is best ? Which do you think has the most powerful fighters ?

Easy Street Fighter is the best.

Marvel vs Capcom of course has the most powerful.

MK

Three in a row. Fatalities push it over the top

Not mk

@darling_luna: Why the hate

Injustice: Gods Among Us

Gotta agree NOT MK. Any game that forces you to use a block button is an instant NO THANK YOU.

Marvel vs. Capcom.

Virtua Fighter SLAUGHTERHOUSE.

Also:

This.

Tekken as the best

Marvel vs Capcom for the most powrful

@lyrafay: Not a franchise

Hard for me to pick, I actually preferred Dead or Alive to any other franchise. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur, and Marvel vs Capcom are all close seconds.

A franchise with one game?

MK for me over the years. Fatalities will do it.

King of Fighters

Tekken and Soulcalibur Namco ftw, Dead or Alive gets and Honorable Mention, Virtua Fighter is alright too, really every fighter has it's ups and downs for me I just prefer the 2.5D style cause I feel it adds more depth that and I get to Sidestep.

Street fighter is the best franchise and likely has some of the highest powered characters, Akuma is a pretty strong fellow, though some MvC characters are probably stronger.

Still, Street fighter is the definitive game of the fighting series genre.

@totalbalance: I think besides mvc mortal kombat has the highest fighters then tekken then SF

My best would be Tekken. Too bad Namco hasn't done any good with it.

Best overall is Street Fighter with MK in second.

Most powerful has to go to MvC.

Marvel vs Capcom is the most exciting fighting game ever!

Tekken, then DOA.

Best imo would be Street Fighter since it's incredibly technical. Most powerful would be MvC simply because of Marvel's inclusion. The Marvel cast in UMvC3 is really OP compared to any of those fighting rosters listed in the OP. Thor, Dormammu, Hulk, Nova, Ghost Rider, and so on. Characters like these get severely nerfed just to be put in a fighting game with Capcom characters lol.

marvel vs capcom that franchise had a huge cult following. i'm not sure if it still does. mk is close second.

Street Fighter is by far the best fighting game series so far out.

SF4

We'll see how Killer Instinct fair with it a year after its release. Otherwise, as of now, I think SF4 is king.

Super Smash Bros

KOF 2002, it had my favorite character K9999.

Sub Zero

... I mean, Mortal Kombat.

Seriously its Tekken, the only fighting game series that didn't get tainted by DLC's and extra editions

Either MK or Soul Calibur.

Out of those, Mortal Kombat.

Best of all time, Smash Bros.

TEKKEN the worlds most played fighting game

I perfer the Budokai Tenckaichi fighting games.

Street Fighter is pretty much the reason the genre is so popular.

SF 3 Third Strike is the best figthing game ever!!!

Yep. Street Fighter is still the king.

However, Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the greatest fighting game of all time, not SFIII Third Strike. ;)

Tekken is my personal favorite.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is the hypest, but I agree that Street Fighter 3rd Strike is still the best.

Ummm.. Namco is in charge of Tekken, not Capcom :/

MvC has been consistently good. MK9 is my favorite fighting game though.

Smash Bros.

MK.

@chibi_cute: I don't know a single person that plays or has played Tekken...

Marvel vs Capcom. So many quarters wasted on the arcades as a kid.

Yes MK :) by far. Best story, characters and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty unlike other fighters. I mean hell even Injustice even looks more realistic then MVC, SF etc.

Second though Smash, Injustice and SF though ;)

Most powerful? MK. Elder Gods>>>>>>>>>everyone else in fighters. The end.

P.S.

Technically though, SF wasn't the first fighter...it was Karate Champ. Best 3D fighter VF, because without VF there is no Tekken, SC, DOA etc

Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat stomps.

@sagejonathan: Well don't I feel stupid. My bad.

@reaperonyx: That's odd its one of the most popular franchises of all time. Ellen 3 is the second highest selling fighting game ever
