Best 2d fighter, for casual or high-level play

Technically GGXX. Personally SFIII:TS.

GGXX is better rounded, better balanced and offers some of the most variety of any 2D fighter in existance. SFIII:TS just feels better to me and is something I adore, but the whole underlying concept of constantly trying to trap your opponent into a combo takes away from it in my eyes as a freeform battle. So my vote is for one of them, I'm not sure which.

Note: The comment on SFIII has the emphasis on "trap," I'm well aware it's benefical in any fighting game to lure your opponent into a combo whenever possible. Unless you're playing as Chipp where easy combos and a super do less damage then tapping HS.

Why? This is your moment in the spotlight.

May be the last good thread you make. Revel in it.

Shut up about MvC2; it sucks.

MvC owns MvC2.

YES. +1

But I still play MvC2 more just because Jill is there. :D

Third Strike is the best. all Street Fighter is pretty much great though (not including CvS and CvS 2 though). KoF 97 & 98 are the best in the series. and Mark of the Wolves is also really great, but no Third Strike.

i don't really care for MvC2. although i could see how you could be into that if you're into ultra combo heavy games. i think the best in that seris is Marvel Vs Street Fighter.

i don't really care for Guilty Gear.

I'm into them (i LOVE X-men vs SF and Marvel vs SF (to a lesser extent since it has no Cammy)) combo-heavy games, but MvC2 isn't played as one. Capcom fucked up and gave people the ability to use and overabuse helpers, and now the game is ruined forever and plays NOTHING, nothing like its predecessors.
