By fighting series, I mean games in which players fight to the death with an opponent in any given stage. This mainly hearkens to famed franchises such as Street Fighter, Tekken, and Mortal Kombat. There should be plenty more than those, so have at it.
My favorite has to be Super Smash Brothers. This series has always included all sorts of well-recognized characters from many different gaming genres, and uses a very diverse compilation of themes from their games. To my knowledge, SSB is the first to utilize the K.O. mechanic of striving to knock rivals off the stage, rather than draining down energy bars as most other franchises do. It also brought in a myriad of items and health-restorers from the various series to increase the glory of the fight. Thankfully the developers aren't afraid to have Nintendo-restricted characters, because Snake of Konami and Sonic of SEGA were introduced in Brawl. I'm looking forward to SSB U all the more because of this. :ssb:
What about you?
