I'm always interested in expanding my knowledge on fighting games and discovering new ones. Maybe this thread can inspire that for those of us that enjoy fighting games.

What is your top 5 fighting game franchises of all time, and whats your favorite entry in the series??

What is your top 5 fighting games of all time regardless of franchise??

FRANCHISE:

1. Mortal Kombat (Best: MK 11)
2. Dead or Alive (Best: DOA 5: Last Round)
3. Tekken (Best: Tekken 6)
4. Virtua Fighter (Best: VF 5 Final Showdown, not Ultimate)
5. Soul Calibur (SC 6)

MK is by far my favorite. DOA is a distant second. Tekken and Virtua Fighter are very close between #3 and #4, it's possible they could even switch spots at some point. Soul Calibur is miles away from the other 4 in terms of quality, but still makes the list.
