Best PS2 2D Fighters

[racketboy]

I have an issue that plenty of these games don't support progressive scan and only a handful have a screen smoothing option. Its also annoying that so many of these games never came to the US. Stupid 2D game policies at Sony HQ. Also some of the SNK ports have awful control.

Could you be more specific as to which ones have the video options and which ones have crappy controls?
I'd like to turn this into a guide sometime.

The Rumble Fish kicks ass.

If your thinking about picking up Capcom vs. SNK 2 avoid the EO edition at all costs. It's a worthless piece of crap.

Fixed.

yeah the EO edition suck ass

No hablo ingles! Nah, just kidding.

Well, that's a problem. According to what I found, it never saw a PS2 release anywhere. In fact, your best bet is probably to emulate the arcade version because the Neo Geo AES was censored a good bit on short notice, leading to bugs in the game.

Translated into Spanish via Babelfish, hopefully it's not a garbled piece of trash:

Bien, that' problema del S.A. Según lo que encontré, nunca vio un lanzamiento PS2 dondequiera. De hecho, su lo mejor que se puede hacer es probablemente emular a la versión de la arcada porque el Neo Geo AES fue censurado un buen pedacito en noticias breves, llevando a los insectos en el juego.

I havn't had a chance to sample all of the 2d fighters for ps2

3rd strike, capcom snk, guilty gear, and Arcana Hearts are the current games the friends and I are playing.

More arcana and guilty gear then the other.

I think I said this in another thread, but Ill re-iterate it here - Samurai Showdown V on PS2 is terrible!

The filtering is disgraceful - feels like your squinting your eyes...

My favorite is Marvel VS Capcom 2.

It started great but at the end just turned hilarious!! You are saying: it was a little piece censored in quick news, taking the insects in the game! Guess it just translates word for word.
