I have owned, at one time or another, just about every street fighter game in the series. I have been a big fan of fighting games ever since the original Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II. And I am currently loving SFIV. But if I had to choose a fav from any fighter that I have ever played, I would pick this game. Even when considering the newer rendering of games like SFIV, this game's fun factor is without peer.

-combos are fantastic (and parrying is awesome)
-19 characters, all of whom are very diverse and have many moves and many awesome combos. Highly customizable.
-the BEST video game music I've ever heard. Tons of tracks, as well.
-graphics are incredible--both characters and backgrounds; smooth and fast-paced gameplay (actually the most fluid I've ever played), very colorful and stylish, etc.
The new stages, endings, and tweaked combat just added to the perfection.

I could go on, but just writing about it makes me want to go throw this in right now...

I'll just put it this way: I love doa 2, marvel vs. capcom 2, SFIV, soul calibur, ki2, virtua fighter 5, and many other fighting games that nailed the fun-factor formula. But this is the first and probably only game that I would consider to be completely flawless and unable to improve upon. It's timeless. I sold my dreamcast a few years back, but have since bought another one just to play this game again.

A lot of people say that this is the best 2d fighting game to ever exist. I agree. I also think this is the best fighting game to ever exist period.

Better version than the PS2 by far! if you are looking for the ultamite 3rd strike version this is the way to go. Just make sure to buy the arcade stick for the Dreamcast and you are definately playing a better version of this game period! The animations, backgrounds, and level of detail, are much better in this game than Playstation's version! Make sure you have an Sv-s cable connected to your TV. Other wise the PS2 could have the better picture simply because you went with the wrong set up! Over all great game and shows why the Dream cast is the best especially at fighting games!

I am a hardcore fan of 2-d fighting games. This game is by far the best fighting game I have played. combos are great and power-ups are wonderful.
