Collectibles Under 1/6 Scale

[Thainitty]

Well I mostly played in arcades back then and the hype for sf2 was so insane such a great time to be a kid. For me I always felt MK was lacking compared to sf, and snk games in precision and gameplay, and that dang block button I did enjoy tekken a lot and rival schools and virtua fighter.

MK has more duds in it's ranks than SF.

MK1 was only good for it's time and is pretty bleh nowadays.

MK2 is a perfect sequel, but they started going nuts with palette swaps. Still, Shao Kahn is still one of the greatest villains in the genre. I always liked him more than Bison.

MK3 is a chopped down mess since they cut fan favorite characters out for them to be included in the cash grab Ultimate MK3. Has faster gameplay and brutal AI, but still felt very lite compared to what it should of been.

Ultimate MK3. The fucking version of the game that should of been MK3.

MK Trilogy was a clusterfuck that just included everyone from all four games, and the first time bosses were playable... but I still liked it. Most if not all the stages were available too.

MK Mythologies was a bomb... but I still like it for nostalgia. It was purely made to branch the genre into platforming and setup the plot of MK4.

MK4 and MK4 Gold I never actually owned and only played roms of them. It killed the series for several years.

Deadly Alliance rebooted everything in terms of gameplay and style... but was highly lacked content.

Deception was the perfected DA.

Armageddon was a clusterfuck like Trilogy... but at least had a create a fighter mode.

MK9 was a complete reboot, that completely fucked the lore up and started the Injustice level bullshit.

MKX more of the same.

MK11 Unjustice Edition... says it all.

Street Fighter IV was awesome. So was Third Strike. Street Fighter V is meh, but that’s probably because I don’t have a fightpad or anything for the PS5.

I've liked all the street fighters up till now, including SF4 and 5. I think 3 was my least favorite since I didn't really like the roster though the gameplay was solid. (And dat animation!)

For my favorites I'd rank it:

Super Street Fighter 2 (the best version of the one that got the craze going)
Street Fighter Alpha 3 (loved all the options and characters though some of the 'isms' were really unbalanced, and that really shows now after the more balanced recent releases)
Street Fighter 5 (this one gets way more hate than is due - they did change it up alot, but the art style is improved from 4, and all the characters truly feel unique with the V-Skill system. The only thing I don't like is how combo heavy it is, but it's still a way better combo system than something like MK)
Street Fighter 4 (basically an updated version of SF2 in many ways, but with an uglyish art style)
Street Fighter 3 (didn't like the roster much or the stages/music, but again gameplay was solid)

From top to bottom there's not alot of difference though! The rankings are not worlds apart or anything - the gameplay is solid in each and every game.

And just for fun, favorite characters from each series (though the thing I enjoy most is random selecting characters and doing matches)-

SSF2 - Cammy, Fei Long, Sagat, E. Honda
SFA3 - Dan (lol), Adon, Rolento, Akuma
SF5 - Sagat, Laura, Menat, Zangief, Vega
SF4 - Dee Jay, Hakan, T. Hawk, Crimson Viper, Juri
SF3 - Twelve, Chun-Li, Elena, Ibuki

The best is and will always remain MK2 with this series. My favorite character was Shang Tsung as you could just become anyone you wanted to and even do their fatalities and all. I had *every single morph* and *every special move/fatality* memorized so I could bust out whatever I wanted lol

MK3 and even UMK3 were a let down to me. I liked MK4/Gold better than those 2.

I agree with you completely on the DA trilogy - the first was just testing the waters but barebones, the second was perfect for that style (and I too enjoyed the death traps and wish they had stayed in that direction). MKT and MKA were both so OTT it was hard to enjoy them.

However I really liked MK9. They did a better version of mk1-3 in one game and I really enjoyed it. The Raiden time travel thing didn't but me at all either.

MKX the combat actually improved and became somewhat fluid for the first time in the series but the designs and world/backgrounds also started getting a bit boring. This reached a head in MK11 where all the designs suck and the stages are so boring and the worst of the series. Throw in all the drama and yeah - hopefully it'll lead to a course correction for the fans. I'm off the MK train either way

Well I mostly played in arcades back then and the hype for sf2 was so insane such a great time to be a kid. For me I always felt MK was lacking compared to sf, and snk games in precision and gameplay, and that dang block button I did enjoy tekken a lot and rival schools and virtua fighter.

Rival Schools was da bomb! I loved that game, played the heck out of it on my dreamcast () too.

I stopped playing Tekken after 3 since it was just too many of the same game with the same mechanics - they never really changed it up much.

One game I'll add is DOA - I really liked the gameplay with the reversals, and it's not just about the 'jiggle physics' that everyone makes it into. The new game is shite but I've enjoyed every release up to that point, the rock paper scissors of strike/grapple/reversal was just so engaging. I'm guessing Maul is the only other one here who played/liked it

 

[Snake Plissken]

MK2 is definitely the best in the series overall, but I put Deception pretty close or equal to it. Deception gets big points with me for having truly classic stages. The Pit and Dead Pool are my favorites.

I thought the Dragon King plot was good, but I feel Onage wasn't utilized properly. Shujinko sucked.

Yes! Another rival schools fan! My local arcade had it and there was some good competitive game play! DOA I enjoyed also (also not for the jiggle but that didn’t bother me) it was a great game but for a technical 3D fighter I think virtua fighter was ahead of it.

As for street fighters I’d rank them street fighter 2 (it started the genre), alpha 2 (I had incredible matches and continued to have great battles in the arcade long after its release), third strike (perfected the sf3 gameplay plus I enjoy the parry system and loved playing as urien and makoto)

 

[Darth Maul]

Dead or Alive was my favorite fighting game series. Got tired of them reaching into our wallets and giving us less in the base game though. Absolutely heinous. Itagaki would never have allowed that.

 

[Darth Maul]

Wow. Was watching reviews on some of the Street Fighter stuff and it seems Chun Li, Ryu and M. Bison all suffered from breakage issues. I’m glad I dipped out and cancelled my pre-orders for those figures years back.

I’ve been cautious of getting back into Street Fighter lines after Sota. I’d had a few joints break on those figures and that’s why I stopped short on that line. Never got Bison, Cammy (who looked fucking awful anyway) or Sakura. Only had Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Akuma, Vega, Sagat and Gouken.

Hopefully, Storm’s QC has gotten better. Couldn’t imagine paying MORE than a Figuarts and have a joint or a peg snap on me. Mafex crap is bad enough. I’m terrified of trying to pose the new Ra’s al Ghul.

The shf figures are really nice, just way smaller than storm

Ryu's face looks pretty off...

 

[Snake Plissken]

Agreed. Everything is fine but the most important thing...

If he doesn't have this face, it ain't him.

 

[Snake Plissken]

 

[Thainitty]

I feel like storm often gets the faces wrong on their street fighter releases (also kof kyo looks weird) which stinks since guile and sagat look really good

 

[Darth Maul]

The only ones I think they nailed were Akuma, Chun Li and Bison.
