What video games create the best fighters?

[MightyB]

Since Ralek has now become my hero, I want to train like him so I can also defeat all inferior kung fu guys. I don't have the money or time to fly out to Maryland to play PS2, the XBox, and go to the arcade with him to learn how to defeat all comers in the infamous "pond out behind his house fights", so I was wondering if you guys have an assortment of video games that I can play to learn his most devastating style.

What are the best video games to learn MMA from?

my list so far goes like this:

Karate Champ, it's an old school classic that I can learn the basics of striking from. But it scares me when I progress too far and it wants to give me a yellow belt.

Virtual Fighter, it was where I first seen the superiority of pancration.

Ninja Gaiden, it is just cool.

Ring King, old school boxing.

Gladiator, weapons strategy classic. Teaches you how to hit weak points on the opponent.

So, as you can see, my video games are very outdated and leave me as a traditional video game practitioner. If I'm going to progress, I need to study more titles. Any thoughts?

The super mario style of flinging upside down turtles is superior. You will attack their critial points ver well.

The UFC video game looks the best to me!....I want to be Tito,I want to be Tito!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I said the same thing about the Jackson 5 game.

Aren't you suposed to be in the void or something??

[KC Elbows]

I'm out of the void for a day. The lure of the forumverse was too strong for me.:eek:

[Royal Dragon]

LOL!!!!!

Table talk has been dead since you left. I think the moo's live just to argue with you.

[Chang Style Novice]

Salon magazine's Table Talk? I didn't know anybody still posted there since they went pay to post. My crowd ran off to People's Forum.

[KC Elbows]

CSN,

Here's the forum:

http://asiapacificuniverse.com/cgi-bin/displayb.pl?martialarts.html/Martial_Arts/1/martialarts.pl

It's asian pacific table talk, the martial arts section should heretofore be known as "moo land", as it is exclusively members of chung moo quan and a group of former members duking it out, with the moos looking stranger and stranger with every post.

[Chang Style Novice]

My mistake, then. I post on too many forums already. Thanks for the invite, though.

[KC Elbows]

CSN,
I know how you feel. I just thought I'd post the link in case it was your long lost forum.

As it is, I'm annoyed with myself for posting today, but it's one of those days. There's too many people at my level of the company, so there's not enough work for any of us lately. I've been using the time to work on some projects that are unrelated, but I'm just about to the point where I switch jobs to something where I actually do something with my day.

uhh super smash brothers melee is the ultimate mma game:D

[rubthebuddha]

river city ransom. period.

where else can you use comic books and chocolate malts to make you a better fighter?

gotta love seanbaby.com.

dead or alive 3....except for the ninjas, there are some very nice techniques...good stances, poor waist movement, but good overall.

[KC Elbows]

You need to cross train between postal, for ruthlessness, and counterstrike, for situational awareness. I also recommend Silent Hill in case you need some crazy while you're at it.

[Lice]

Add grand theft auto for important urban situation awareness skills.

[KC Elbows]

Good point.

When choosing a video game on which to use as a template to build up your martial arts skill, you must pick one that enables you to attack your opponent's critial points ver well. Too, learning how to gauge dietance between you and your opponent would, in combination with attacking critial points ver well, enable you to combine said elements into a powerful martial arts style.

It is also important that you do not do racism against Chinese. Even though you may choose a style that is KMA or JMA or VMA (Video Martial Arts) in nature, you should not do racism against Chinese.


Thus, we have 3 necessary elements in which to build our new video martial art:

1. Critial points (which must be attacked ver well)

2. Racism

3. Dietance

The next step, once these necessary strengths are recognized, must needs be to find an element in said video martial art in which the techniques, fundamentally executed, would enable a frog to win against a praying mantis. As we all know, the praying mantis has no defense against the frog. Therefore, your stylized martial art must needs also have no defense against the frog.

While this may on the face of things appear to be a destructive limitation, nothing could be further from the truth. One must remember that no martial art, no matter its lineage, it's fighting components or, yes, even the stylist who practices same, can have no defense agaisnt the frog. This is not a bad thing, it simply is one of the universal truth inherent in all martial arts which we as players recognize and have to work around.

Good luck in your search!

This one is easy.

The most realistic video game I've ever played was "Perfect Weapon".

I have this kickboxing game for PC, and I also had it for Playstation. I preferred PC because the keyboard layout was far easier than Playstation's hand-held controller.

It's a 3rd person fighting game in which one has to fight multiple opponents. The kickboxing is extremely good and there's a great deal of grappling.

What I haven't yet done is figure out how to do the kung fu moves. Supposedly as one beats his way through the levels, he picks up the moves of the monsters (e.g. dinosaurs, mantis, Shaolin monks, ice guys, monkeys, cats, and weird gorillas)

[Royal Dragon]

:cool:

[Braden]

River City Ransom for hand-to-hand.

Ghost Recon for distance.

[TaoBoy]

A true martial artist would cross-train in various games, the below are a minimum:

- Double Dragon
- Super Mario Bros
- Frogger
- Galaga

:D

[MightyB]

I've gotten a great sence from Budokan that Frogger is superior.

After all, who could defeat frog? Maybe Royce should challenge frog...

Let us all not forget Custer's Revenge.

HAHAHAHA!

I remember that game! Very very hard to control.

[HuangKaiVun]

"Perfect Weapon" is EASY to control if you use a keyboard.

I changed all the commands to fit my hands. I played the game two-handed.

And isn't that the name of the game in kung fu? If something doesn't work, toggle it until it DOES!
