    "Mortal Kombat is not a cool adult on a cool motorcycle, it's a prepubescent teen sneaking into an R-rated movie."
    That is the single most accurate statement about the essence of Mortal Kombat to have ever been uttered in history.

      While I'm not a fan of the games, I always loved how little it takes itself seriously. From the friendships in response to the controversy to one of the devs appearing in the corner to say "toasty" whenever you pull a certain move, this game just gives zero darns and he summed it up perfectly.

    I’ve had a concept for a fighting game for a good while now, and it keeps popping in my head. It’s called Season’s Beatings, and it’s based on holidays. Characters representing many different kinds of celebrations from all over! Of course we’ve got the big ones like Christmas, Easter, Valentines, Halloween… but I definitely want to do a few curveballs as well. Game Day (mixture of many different sports finals), Mother’s Day (because we could use another kangaroo fighter besides Roger), Arbor Day (just trust me on this one)… I just don’t have a way to flesh it out with making a prototype or drawing. I don’t even know if they should just be the icons themselves or representations of the holiday as a whole!
    Anyway, great video as always. And thanks again for your original list giving me the push to play Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm.

      That actually sounds like it has a lot of potential if you add in holidays from other cultures. There are so many different cultures and traditions in our world that a lot of people don't know much about if they're not a part of it. And many of these holidays can be grouped together by time of year, or by the religions/cultures they hail from. Like, for instance, in addition to Christmas (who I envision as male) you could have his druidic and wise grandfather Yule, his drunken lout of a father Saturnalia, and his estranged older brother Hanukah, and maybe a few other end-of-year-holiday cousins.

    Fighting games are usually an acquired taste for me. While I don't play them competitively or not that of an expert in all of them I usually like them based of of a diversity of good characters, style, and even a good story or lore behind them. With tons of games and franchises out in this genre it will be a big competition to see which one will come out on top.

    Here's an idea for a possible list in the future: Top Ten Guest Characters. This could be a far more flexible and cross-genre list, as long as a given game includes some manner of guest character. Granted, Mortal Kombat kinda gets off on their guest characters, but other games pull it off as well, such as Geralt in Soul Calibur 6, Spawn in MK 11, Prier in the Disgaea games (since, even though La Pucelle and Disgaea are both NIS titles, Prier is still treated as a guest character in my eyes), 2B & 9S in FF XIV, etc.

    Here’s a short story for you I got into fighting games after I actually became a black belt in Taiquando. It became a new outlet for me cause in my mind I had new combat knowledge but no vessel to use it in. Then I played DOA Dimensions on my 3DS and then my world was opened to fighting games and that following year fighting games where just a core part of my personality and since I don’t want to make this story to long I’m glad fighting games and the community involved with them has helped me grow as a person much like the martial arts I took up. Oh and before I forget my favorite fighting game is Skullgirls and I’m not mad that it’s at number 5 I totally understand and keep making amazing countdowns I always find enjoyment in your work.

    I'm not really surprised, but I was wondering if either of the Injustice games would make it onto this list. I understand they may not have the history of some of these others, and may not be as refined in terms of gameplay and roster balance, but I feel like they set the bar as the first fighting games to have really solid story modes, something Nether Realms would take with them into Mortal Kombat X and 11.
    Also, while I understand why you may not have put them on the list, I've got to shout out the Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi games, and the Xenoverse games which followed a similar format, for giving us maybe not the best fighting game mechanics, but in really capturing the feel of the fights from the series in a way even other anime arena fighters haven't been able to match.
    You may prefer FighterZ (I can't say it as 'fighterz' but have to say 'fighter-Zee', if they didn't want it pronounced that way they shouldn't have spelled it that way), but I feel like it was a downgrade in terms of mechanical immersion.

    Some good picks. My favourites are Smash Ultimate, Soul Calibur II, Ultra SFIV, Skullgirls & Vampire Savior. When it comes to fighting games I tend to like ones where I can enjoy the single player content & things to do outside the competitive fighting game modes especially since a lot of fighting games live & breathes on whether or not people are playing them. If they are two games I wanted to play a lot more on this list it would be Samurai Shodown & Killer Instinct especially the latter. I freaking love the soundtrack.

    19:55 Speaking personally, basically all of the complaints about Arksys simplifying the gameplay in Strive was a fear of lowering the skill ceiling. In fact, the general belief was that it would be easier to beat newer players.

    a video idea
    top 10 best snipers in games
    rules:
    1. Do not limit to just sniper rifles, bow, firearms, magic, kunais and ki as long as they are precision and long range based
    2. in addition to the main weapon, the skills that the character has should help it in mobility, field control, obtaining information, debuffs, traps, in addition to the use of the environment
    3. can have any function defense, attack, support
    4. game characters that can use multiple weapons will only count if the skills and lore connect
    characters must have the mentality of a home-office assassin

    A much better list then the original
    Well articulated, well researched and covering my favourite genre of video game in a way that’s both passionate and critical, fair but firm, emphasizing the feel and mechanics along with the cultural impact of the game, as I feel anyone seriously talking about fighters should
    While not necessarily a list of straight Foward personal favourites (as I prefer most of time) I was more than fine with it here as I was sold on each placement as….. idk I just felt you appreciated what each subsequent entry brings to the table and what they represent in this wonderfully dumb genre we all know and love, both the positive and the negative
    This list is phenomenal, probably my favourite one of yours, can’t wait for the next one, much love ❤️

    I miss Break The Targets, too. Also I liked Board the Platforms from Smash 64. Never really came back despite how simple it was and how it provided movement training. Break the Targets providing special move training... Just so much cool stuff in many entries in Super Smash Bros. that either only came back very few times, were changed for the worse, or never came back at all.

    First off, this list is amazing and its reason is for what im about to say about one of the entries, so, to anyone reading this, DON'T unless you already watched the video.
    I do agree with these entries as a casual fighting game fan myself, but, just as this list is a love letter to fighting games, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate is a love letter to the gaming industry as a whole. It's that reason why its one of my favorite games of all time. Its not prefect, by any means, but when passion like this is being shown on display with a cast as large and iconic as Ultimate, does it really need to be?
    I can't say this enough that i love this game because of what it represents. It didn't need to be a better fighting game than the other competitors, which it tried in some aspects. It just needed to be fun, easy to play, and memorable. In that regard, the game is sheer amazement.

    It's weird how Brawlhalla doesn't get much attention when it has 100 million players with 20million monthly players (crossplay). Insanely good tournament entries online and LAN, massive prize pools, consistent developer support, extremely active community. It's not nearly as recognized as Smash (it does not have the massive legacy or storied history of it), but it deserves some praise imo. It's different from Smash in basically every way but the genre. People are very quick to discount it without giving it a serious try and how good high level competitive play is. Also one of the most balanced fighting games ever.

    While I personally don't agree on much of this top 10 list I do sole heartly respect it. And I mean you're not wrong I do love most of these games, however 3 games that are my personal favorites are Tekken 4, Street Fighter 6 & Mortal Kombat 11.
    Tekken 4 was my first experience of the franchise and features some of my favorite characters and arcade storytelling within the roster like Hwoarang,Raven,Christe,Eddy & my favorite Lee Chaolan.
    Street Fighter 6 the latest addition to the series has now become a favorite staple in my heart with different modes like World Tour where you customized you avatar and explore city like a Pokemon rpg esque game, The Battle Hub where I would play other players and have fun in the dj booth,old school arcade and even get into the some avatar fights and Fighting Grounds where it have various other modes with a great assortment of characters old & new (I play Luke & Juri as my mains btw).
    And lastly as someone who is favorite fighting game genre is being Mortal Kombat, MK11 was just perfect for me with a great roster of characters that all looks so good including surprise guest dlc characters ranging from voice actors like Keith David's Spawn to freaking movie Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. And not only that other modes like the Krypt and a cinematic story mode which in itself feels like an actual movie (I know there are very much mixed opinions on that but I personally love it). And while I do agree the whole meter system mechanic sucks ass at it's own it still a fun game to play, for me at least MKX is also amazing and I do play that game from time to time but it was a little bit more difficult compare to 11(i'm not a pro player so I can't handle that level of difficulty at times).

    I'm just gonna put something out real quick, and you can call me a coomer as much as you want, I don't care: Idol Showdown may not have much of a legacy game-wise, but it deserves a mention purely because of all the love put into every part of it. Every single sprite was made from the ground up, the music is a bunch of remixed bops fron Hololive's vast catalogue with some original slappers thrown in for good measure (mostly outside of fighting), the Virtual Frontier is basically a fighting game version of Slay The Spire that _absolutely rocks,_ and...
    Look, I can't keep away from this. The amount of references in the characters' movesets, the stages, the Virtual Frontier events, _everything,_ really shows just how much the devs love Hololive and fighting games alike. Not to mention it launching with some great rollback netcode, and overall being so good that even those in the FGC who know nothing about Hololive still play it and adore it as just being _a damn good fighting game._ And the best part?
    The devs listen. They actively work to keep the game fun and balanced, removing infinites, buffing and nerfing things that need to be buffed or nerfed, and even actively putting in voice clips from the VTubers themselves when they give their input on the clips chosen. Heck, they got Kureiji Ollie herself to fully voice herself in the game! It's one thing when someone is heavily inspired by something. But when said inspiration acknowledges them, and actively encourages them... it's a whole other bag of red superchats to the point where it's almost overwhelming.
