Well the title says it all, a list of my favorite Fighting Game Series (if you know me well then you should know what number 1 is).
5. Virtua Fighter
Ok, so this one is number 5 because I really almost wasn't going to put it on this list at all but I love Virtua Fighter 2 on my Genisis so I decided to put it on as number 5. Well if you say the characters are unoriginal, well the unoriginal people just copied Virtua Fighter because it was there first. Oh and the fact that you jump like your on the moon is just awesome for me, I mean I liked it in Halo... Anyway, I really don't have much else to say except, what console were Virtua Fighter 3 and 4? I have only seen 1, 2, and 5.
4. Tekken
I'm sorry this is number 4 on the list, I know a certain friend who would kill me for putting it as number 4 but at least hear me out, Tekken is pure awesomeness but I am not the biggest fan of Tekken, I do remember it being in arcades when I was younger but until my friend introduced it to me I didn't play it alot. Anyway Tekken is very unique and it is THE Arcade Fighter that even in Tekken 6 still has all of that Arcade feel. I liked the Campain mode of Tekken 6 at first but probably the day after I typed up my Tekken 6 first impression post I found it getting a little annoying and frustrating. Oh and about that unique comment, well I mean you can play as people from practically around the whole world and you can not only play as a Kangeroo but also a Panda, a PANDA, and yes the Panda is one of my favorite characters.
3. Street Fighter
Ok this one is obvious, I always knew about Street Fighter about as far back as I can remember because it's just so universally known. I might as well just say this right now that my favorite Street Fighter Character is Sakura and no not because of the reasons you people are thinking... and if you weren't thinking that, sorry I just get that alot... but the reason I like playing as Sakura is because I like playing as Ryu and Sakura is just basically a faster Ryu. One thing I don't like about Street Fighter is that they have to remake the same game over and over so if I bought the original than everyone laughs at me because they have the super hyper ultra alpha 4.5 beta anniversary edition... I mean I don't mind Super Street Fighter 4 but when we have like 10 versions of Street Fighter 4 with no Street Fighter 5 in sight I am gonna be pissed...
2. Mortal Kombat
I love Mortal Kombat, not just because of it's over the top gore, but also because I love almost all Mortal Kombat games New and Old (I said almost because of Shoalin Monks...) and somehow I still have not played Mortal Kombat Vs DC... I know I should have played it forever ago but it was that or Little Big Planet... and ever since I just haven't had the money to spare on it... oh and Armogedon has like one of the biggest rosters I have ever seen, with all sorts of merable characters. Oh and please do not mention the Mortal Kombat movies... I would rather not remember those... Also if you can actually pull off those fatalities then kudos to you because I certainly can't, I mean Mortal Kombat is like the king of complicated moves... and spelling everything with a K....
1. Darkstalkers
Yeah, if you know me then this one should have been really obvious, I mean Jedah, Felicia, and Morrigan are like my favorite fighting game characters of all time. Well where do I start? Ok, Darkstalkers is basically an underrated gem made by Capcom and almost forgotten, I mean come on, they are suck teases, they just forget about Darkstalkers and then just put Morrigan in Tatsunoko Vs Capcom with not future plans of releasing a new Darkstalkers game. I mean COME ON! But, I am sure that one day we will get our next-gen Darkstalkers game... someday... anyway, Darkstalkers is basically a fighter with the Capcom fighting engine and awesome original characters that are straight out of all kinds of folklore and mythology, of course the roster isn't as big as most fighting games but I still love it and if I were to get an arcade machine then it would be a Darkstalkers arcade machine because I just love it so much. I cannot explain properly how awesome Darkstalkers is until you play it yourself, but it is just great... and one can only dream for a new Darkstalkers game...

Top 5 Launch Titles
Well this is going to be a top 5 list of games released on the same day of the console it's on.
5. Redsteel - Nintendo Wii
I know, I know, alot of you like to complain on how much you hate Redsteel, but you know what I liked it, the multiplayer is fun, the story mode is awesome (except for the sudden difficulty curve in like either the middle or near the end of the game), and the Wiimote isn't as inacurate as people think. I am not really that hyped up for Redsteel 2 since it takes a huge curve away from what Redsteel was, because the original Redsteel was like Yakuza and seriousness with samurai swords and it was sort of dark in a way, but Redsteel 2 is just Samurai Cowboys and quite frankly I'm not sure if that will work, of course the gameplay does look entertaining and so I might pick it up sometime after the release when the price has gone down.
4. Elebits - Nintendo Wii
Ok don't get me wrong just because it's number 4 on the list doesn't mean it's bad, in fact Elebits was quite good... I think, well I only rented it so it's been a while but I do remember having a blast with it and regretting that I rented it because I defiantly should have bought it. If you never played the game basically you go around flipping things over, or opening things, to look for and capture these little creatures known as Elebits, you needed a certain amount of Elebits to access certain areas or lift certain objects... I think or some sort of limitation like that, and it sort of reminds me of Katamari... well anyway from what I remember this game was great and defiantly utilized the Wiimote very well for a launch title game.
3. Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower - PSP
Ok, this game came in close second but when you see what number 2 is you will know why this is 3rd. Well first of all this suffered from the dreaded loading time almost all early psp games had, and this game REALLY shows it. But if you overlook that, it's basically a lowered down version of the Darkstalkers Collection (a game only released in Japan) but on the psp. If you are as much of a Darkstalkers fan as I am you should own this game, I mean I used to rent it, then I just bought it, then I lost it, and then I re-bought it, yeah it was totally worth it too. It even has the endings for each character from all of the games, but sadly no Dee =(, oh well he was just a clone of Demitri with Donovan's sword anyway...
2. Ape Escape: On the Loose - PSP
This one is a remake of the original Ape Escape game, and Ape Escape has got to be the main thing that defines my childhood so this game just has to be this high on the list. Even though when I feel nostalgic enough to replay every Ape Escape game I own (and yes I do that alot with series like Ape Escape and Klonoa) I would always play the original PS1 version over the remake just for that old PS1 feel, but that's not to say this is a bad remake oh no, no, no, I would never say that, in fact for the people who don't want to hunt for the original or if they just want to take Ape Escape on the go, then this game is defiantly for you. I don't know what it offers new to the table in terms of content but the graphics sure are an improvement from the original.
1. Jak & Daxter - PS2
Ok, so this wasn't a launch title, but it was the first PS2 game I ever played, it's one of my favorite games of all time, and it was released around the beginning of the system's lifespan. I always have nothing to say about #1 on my lists because I have too much to say... wait... that didn't make sense... Oh well, anyway this game has got to be platforming on ANY SONY console at it's best, at least in my opinion, I forgot how awesome this game was until I played the recently released Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier (which is awesome) and suddenly had the urge to play the original again, the way the series evolved was something I was never really to happy about, adding things like guns, bad words, and taking Daxter's name out of the title were a bit strange to me so the original is still my favorate, it's also the only Jak and Daxter game I actually beat, and yes I beat it 100%, so those of you thinking I am "a newb for not beating jak 2 or jak 3" I beat the original COMPLETELY! Yes that means EVERY SINGLE POWER CELL! so yeah... Anyway back on topic this game is great and if you haven't played this game there must be something wrong with you because it's a must have game for the ps2 right next to Kingdom Hearts or Budokai 3.
Well remember I post every other day, and please tell your friends about my blog.
5. Redsteel - Nintendo Wii
I know, I know, alot of you like to complain on how much you hate Redsteel, but you know what I liked it, the multiplayer is fun, the story mode is awesome (except for the sudden difficulty curve in like either the middle or near the end of the game), and the Wiimote isn't as inacurate as people think.

Top 10 Video Game Bosses
This is my pick for the top 10 best video game bosses, now this is only my opinion so no flame wars in the comment section, and I will not include obvious ones like Bowser or Dr Wily, these are my top picks.
10. The King of Sorrow - Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil
Ok so either your thinking "what the hell is klonoa" or "wait didn't that wii game just come out, when was there a sequel?" I'm talking about the ps2 sequel to the original ps1 Klonoa game (that the wii remake is based on) and the King of Sorrow is the main bad guy of the game and to be honest the game kinda makes you feel bad for the guy, also if you actually get to him in the game it'll make you say "This guy is like if freakin Super Saiyan Goku and Sephiroth fused together" he is so awesome he like sends you to a sonic the hedgehog 2 special stage dimension for the first half of the boss fight.
9. Metaknight - Kirby... uhh... like every kirby game... there we go
Ahhhh Metaknight, I remember playing kirby nightmare in dreamland on the gameboy as a kid and thinking Metaknight was so awesome and he just seems like the villain you like even more then the main villain (screw Dedede when there is Metaknight) he even kinda makes you fight fair by picking up a sword every time you fight him instead of just owning him the mic ability that works so well on the mini-bosses. Sadly he was absent from my favorite Kirby game Kirby 64 =(.
8. Destroy Man aka "Mr. Cosplay" - No More Heroes
The words "DESTROY BEAM!!!" never made me laugh so hard since I played No More Heroes... honestly out of all of he bosses in No More Heroes he was defiantly on my list of favorite bosses. From the moment you first run into him either you really like him or you want to just kick his ass. There really isn't much to say about him but if you were to play No More Heroes you would defiantly think he should be on the list.
7. Bad Girl - No More Heroes
Yeah I know, "two bosses from the same game? WTF?" well the bosses are just that awesome in No More Heroes. I mean seriously, who didn't fall for that instant kill move that activates when you go near her when she suddenly drops to the floor crying? That not only pissed me off but scared the crap out of me too, it also seems like every time you get her health down a bit more she starts using 10 more new moves, like how the hell was I supposed to know she could LIGHT HER FREAKING BAT ON FIRE?
6. Albert Wesker - Resident Evil
I'm gonna admit it, I have not played Resident Evil 1-3 so this is based mostly on Resident Evil 5 because its been a while since I played Resident Evil 4. Albert Weskers voice is so ridiculous it should be on this list too, but that's not bad, its actually quite awesome, now if you don't know who Albert Wesker is then imagine Neo from the Matrix but as a bad guy and make him a total jerk, ahhh yes Wesker... awesome. From what I saw in Resident Evil 5 he is the "I'm so awesome that I use EVERYONE that I make friends with and there is nothing you can do about it". I mean *RE5 Spoiler* You have to throw two effing rockets at him in a pitch black stadium to WEAKEN him!
5. Pipotrons - Ape Escape
When I say "Pipotron" I vaguely referring to not only Pipotron red, yellow, and blue from Pumped and Primed I also mean Pipotron G, J, Meta and Kuratsuku from Million Monkeys and the anime series. If you even know what ape escape is you still probably have no idea what I am talking about... Well Million Monkeys wasn't really released in the US but it wasn't really Ape Escape 4 it was just... well... Ape Escape with hover skates, jet packs, and GUNS. Anyway... the pipotrons are basically robotic monkeys that in Ape Escape Pumped and Primed just seemed so awesome and the other four from Million Monkeys just seem... real. I know robot monkeys either don't sound that cool or just sound awesome, but believe me, the Pipotrons are awesome.
4. Baal -Disgaea
Whether it be that awesome armored Baal that you fight in Disgaea 1 to get the ending that matters after the ending that matters (the normal one) or if it's Prinny Baal that you worked so hard to fight in Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?, Baal is awesome (despite the name...). Even the main character says "LEVEL 4000!?!?!" before you fight him, seriously he is LEVEL 4000! I can almost beat the game at level 70... but freakin 4000!?!?! Anyway he is like the lord of overlords or something awesome like that, so level 4000 is appropriate I guess, especially since you can go up to level 9999.
3. Nazo - Ape Escape: Million Monkeys
Ok, basically the main villain of Ape Escape, Specter just gives monkeys special helmets and makes them... like run around... but Nazo... oh man, he gives the monkeys guns and tanks and starts blowing stuff up in Tokyo. THERE WE GO!!! THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE!!! no offence to specter of course. Rumor has it he was also behind the Grid Core Virus that was in Pumped and Primed. I think he is also in the anime, but he kind of seemed... I don't know... out of place in Million Monkeys... like everyone was anime-ish and here comes a thin... more real guy in a suit, however it kind of seems appropriate, I mean at least he is one of the people in an anime or anime style game that takes place in tokyo that LOOKS JAPANESE.
2. Jedah - Darkstalkers
Not many people know what darkstalkers is but I love it, and it is defiantly my favorite Capcom fighting series (Street Fighter fans remember what I said about no flame wars) and Jedah is just awesome. His background story is long and has something to do with the demon world and just sounds confusing in words... that's why I wanted him to be in the anime series so badly. What makes him such an awesome boss? Well first of all you apparently fight him the womb where the fetus of god was conceived... that is even stranger than you think it is BELIEVE ME. The other thing that makes him so awesome is his move set, it's like if Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist had wings, a scythe, wasn't a girl, and twice the blood came out when he (or she if we are still referring to Lust) attacks with his... finger... claw... things...
1. Specter - Ape Escape
Yeah I know, your probably thinking "but... you just said Nazo was more hardcore..." or "ANOTHER APE ESCAPE VILLAIN???" Well, Ape Escape is a huge part of my childhood, and one thing I remember fondly was how evil specter was in Ape Escape 1, of course in 2 he was evil but... a little more ridiculous, and in Ape Escape 3... uhhh... his "Double Paradise" plan just makes him look like an idiot... even though he is a super intelligent monkey capable of raising an army of monkeys, building giant robots, and BEING ABLE TO USE TELEKINESIS!!! But all that aside he is and probably always will be my favor ate villain, especially because you kind of feel bad for him, I mean if he is dumb as a... monkey... then he will be ok with being a circus monkey, but if he has intelligence that surpasses people... he's gonna want to be treated better... and I mean he has been put back into that circus... what? 6 or 7 times... they know he's just coming back, and that's the thing about Specter, no matter how many times he comes back... it doesn't feel... stale... or already done, I don't know what it is about specter or just ape escape but every game doesn't feel like "oh specter escape AGAIN... whoopty freakin doo..." it feels more like "so what crazy scheme is he up to now?"
Well that was my top 10 list of video game bosses, like I said it's just my opinion, so no hate comments however suggestions on other bosses that could be added would be great. Remember I post almost everyday (I might skip a day here and there) so try to visit daily.
10. The King of Sorrow - Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil
Ok so either your thinking "what the hell is klonoa" or "wait didn't that wii game just come out, when was there a sequel?" I'm talking about the ps2 sequel to the original ps1 Klonoa game (that the wii remake is based on) and the King of Sorrow is the main bad guy of the game and to be honest the game kinda makes you feel bad for the guy, also if you actually get to him in the game it'll make you say "This guy is like if freakin Super Saiyan Goku and Sephiroth fused together" he is so awesome he like sends you to a sonic the hedgehog 2 special stage dimension for the first half of the boss fight.
