Virtua Fighter is supposedly the most technical and worthy 3D fighter, so I can see why they'd put it there.  I just lost track of the series after the Saturn days (and people to play with) and the ammount of technicality it developped now bores me.

I'm shocked by guilty gear. I guess it's better than putting up Clayfighters LOL. But I don't get why it ranked so high.

Gotta admit I'm glad DoA was excluded from the top 10

I always hated the physics in that game. How can i explain the sensation? It feels like the characters are surrounded by an invisible bouncy cotton shield when they hit each other.

LOOK AT MY FUCKING KOF HACK.

Magneto wave move was part of his combo, looking like a pringles potato, the curly moustache is the one from the pringles box.

Yes, but they clearly weren't going for realism

Soul Calibur is the banana, and Dead or Alive is the cherry.
Mortal Kombat is the rotten tomato.

And VF sucks, techincal my ass you can button mash and win (Then again, the same goes for Tekken, DOA, Soul Calibur, but hey, at least those have a charm)

So is DOA (Unless you're a DHURR HURR FANSERVICE DHURR ITAGAKI SUX type of guy)

Also, Bushido Blade (1 & 2) FTW, I'd kill for a next gen Bushido Blade... same for a proper Next Gen Toshinden (Art by Tsukasa, and some returning characters... none of that Wii Toshinden faggotry)

No, I'm a "Tits and counter button do not a great game make" type of guy. DOA has been shit after DOA2 Hardcore.

Virtua Fighter has been shit after Virtua Fighter 2, Tekken has been shit after Tekken 2... hey, it's easy!

Because DOA is only made of those elements? Weak trolling son, that might work in /v/ (Lets ignore THE BEST 3D stages in any fighting game so far, flashy moves, great soundtrack and other good points)

I like how you think DOA2 Hardcore is the pinnacle of DOA, yet you complain about the Free button
DOA2 had the biggest counter window, and yes, counters can be easily abused during long combo strings... So what? Being thrown during a whiffed attempt at counter means critical damage so it's a double edged weapon.
Also, Counters were downgraded in 3... Then they were downgraded even more by DOA4, the window is minimal and whiffing again, means receiving double damage during a grab. Finally there's a new counter position, A middle counter so timing aside, counters are no longer 50-50.

If you're gonna troll the game at least know the real flaws like infinite combos during tag team matches or the disappointing/retarded bosses (Except for Raidou, everyone else has been horrible, Tengu, Omega and Alpha). Also yeah, hair clipping is extremely amateurish.

...Nice opinion regardless.

but at least Tekken's is ridiculous enough to work.

10- JoJo Bizzare World
4- Capcom/Marvel
5- Neo Geo(and other SNK mix)

Mortal Combat
Soul Calibour

You must have played against VF deficient players.

The proper term would be VF Casuals. Yes, could be, you don't see many pros, the learning curve is huge.
In my local arcade people were more into KoF and (at some extent) Tekken anyways.

Oh ok.
Generic faces are a somewhat valid complain (And like I mentioned, the clipping)

Zack's story is hilarous (There's your personality... Bass works too), Hayabusa Jan-Lee and Hayate for general badassery, I don't care abut the rest, most endings are generic fanservice (Hitomi, Kasumi, Lei-Fang...then Again Tekken also has Anna..or Nina's ending, I forgot). I play for the gameplay though, not for the endings.

The rest of your points are, yes, matter of taste, still... DOA's designs aren't as generic or uninteresting as you think. And Tekken isn't the pinnacle of character designs (Lilly, generic sumo, Baek) I don't dislike Tekken though.

Complaining about the counter button (Again, seems like you haven't played the latest games where counters are harder to pull, can be properly punished and barely affect gameplay) it's like complaining about KOF's roll, I mean... sure, you can, it's valid, but that element makes the franchise different to the rest.
