Quantcast



Last week was the climactic conclusion to the four month long Mortal Kombat versus Street Fighter debate, and at last a winner has been chosen. While most people correctly predicted from day one that Street Fighter would make it to the end, the winner from last week was nowhere near as unanimous as many debaters expected to see. Here are the results:

  • Chun-Li: 34 votes
  • Ryu: 39 votes - Winner!

Congrats to Ryu and all those who voted for him each round. Chun-Li caught up in votes several times last week, but after fighting various fierce friends and foes in the past, Ryu has finally claimed the crown as this year's best fighter.

Before I start picking new games, characters, genres and other topics for us to discuss each week, I want to get some suggestions straight from the Dtoid Army first. Got any great ideas worth a game debate? Now's your chance! Feel free to give as many suggestions in the comments as you'd like, and make sure to comment on others' ideas as well. I look forward to reading what you guys come up with, let's see what you can think up!

If anyone even thought that Chun-li could beat Ryu in a fight then you must be clueless to Street Fighter! Ryu is the best fighter in the world on Street Fighter and there isn't a way in hell Chun-Li could beat him, it's hilarious. Now if this was about who we'd want to fuck, then Chun-Li all the way!!!! Them making the new movie about her is so stupid it can't be put into words! RYU IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!

lol Neonie FAIL

What about developer debate to the death? e.g. BioWare vs. EA

Or a specific developer? Face off individual titles in a developers library against each other.

developer debates could be fun. i'm also gonna bring back the wtf debates where everyone screams "you can't compares these two games! it's not fair!" exmple - metal gear solid 2 vs katamari damacy. i like odd debates that u won't find on every gaming forum on the net (like ryu vs chun-li :) )

Anything that doesn't involve street fighter I'd be O.K. with... I'd go with Best RPG Hero or Heroine, they are often voiceless but without saying a word they can save the world! My vote is for Chrono.

How 'bout Best First-Gen CD-ROM Systems? (circa 1990-1996 or so)

Also, Best Game Genie Codes for different systems (ie, Best NES Codes, Best Genesis Codes, etc) would be cool.

Haha Dean, I have no idea why that made me laugh but best Game Genie codes? You so stupid.

Jeebus man, I remember having SFII SNES connected to the game genie and entering random codes until one *did* *something* and then altering that code character by character to see the results.

I ended up having some bad ass codes for SFII like mid-air fireballs and no charge(or less than 1 sec charge) special moves.

I dunz has no more. I had a notebook just for that and that's long gone.

Best lead character in an FPS/ Third Person Shooter. Max Payne gets my vote, but Master Cheif would prolly win.

Just realizing teh innernet communication is not always that great....

When I typed "You so stupid" if you actually heard me say it you would of heard "Damn man, that brings me back"

Ya probly know that already but I just wanted to make sure.

Best weapon/special move ?

Is having a Covenant energy sword better than being able to bust out Sonic Booms?

How about a bolder, greater version of the Best of. How about, "Best Group of Characters in a 4 vs 4 Melee"?
My vote goes to the team with Master Chief, Ryu Hyabusa, Sam Fisher, and The Prince (yes, from Katamari Damacy). They'd kick everyone's ass, hands down.

How about best videogame villain/boss? I'd love to see the day when the nemesis and/or general RAAM goes up against revolver Ocelot and/or the arbiter.

Come on, you now you want it.

If it's another fighting game vs. mode, should be SNK vs. whoever... that would be the shit.

If I were going for silly... then let's swap bosses and put them in different games to see how they'd fair. Like Bison in the Final Fantasy worlds, and so on. Either that, or try to pick the combination of a male and female game character to try to make the ugliest baby.

I think it would be best that we didn't focus on any one genre or series because it would tend to exclude people. Like the last one probably did

Wow, I didn't realize how inappropriate Chun Li's getup would look on a real person until seeing this video. Funny how anime style art makes certain things look normal.
