But the good news is we now live in an age of modern fighters that are both approachable enough for newcomers and competitive enough for the pros.

But you know how we do it on these top tens on Lee.

The 10 best can make this list, so I'm nervous.

Tick for screw tax.

Top 10 Modern Fighting games Number 10 Everyone and their mother seems to have their favorite condom book characters in Fighting Games let you create your tree matchups.

That's hardly ever been more true than with injustice to pretty much every major and sometimes not so major D.

C hero and villain is here.

Unlike most fighters, injustice to is ridiculously customizable, And I don't just mean that you can deck out the Joker to make him look like that man.

This game lets you customize their move sets to injustice, to does a lot of things even better than its predecessor.

But I'm not gonna lie to you guys.

The main reason the sequel makes the top 10 is because I confess, finally, play as the Ninja Turtles In our modern fighting game, you can be Michelangelo and do what The Dev team describes as pizza cancels.

I love it so much.

By the way, one evil ritual blood sacrifice do I need to make to get another standalone TMNT fighting number nine Man.

It's such a shame.

What happened to the Marvel vs Capcom?

Siri's I get it Marvel.

Infinite may have had a butt load of problems, but come on, it's still deserve better than what it got.

It's just too bad that there's not another famous franchise, beloved characters that could make an incredible team based fighting game.

Which is what I would say if I lived in a terrible alternate reality were Dragonball Did it exist?

Dragonball Fighters is an absolute dream come true.

Ah, competitively balanced, gorgeously rendered fighting game done by Arc System works the best possible studio for the job.

There's so much love put into this game, not just for the fighting in players but for the diehard, animate fans, too.

Almost every single attack by every single character is a reference to a memorable moment into an M A or movies, or even just single panels from the manga Dragon.

Both fighters could have been higher, but it's online modes.

Air so unbearably Laghi and compared to Marvel vs Capcom, game plays pretty simplest.

But even at that, that didn't stop it from becoming the biggest fighting game on the market.

Has I'm recording this top 10?

Just one request for future updates.

Give my boy hit some real high and low options, please.

I am dying out here.

Number eight.

Leave it to the big end to take any genre and put their own distinct Nintendo spin on it when it comes to fighters.

Arms was an interesting experiment, but way all know that smashes their gold and gives now smash.

Ultimate is still three months away from releases.

This top 10 is being made, but until then, Super Smash Brothers for We You is Nintendo's best modern fighter.

It's got faster paced game play compared to brawl the biggest roster out of every game on this list, and it's still the most well balanced smashed game ever made.

Well, until you came along, I guess speaking of characters, revel in Cloud was revealed.

Mind blowing was that being a smash Brothers gain smash.

We also has the honor of being by far the most fun party fighter to play with upwards of eight people at once.

Heck, we'd screw attack wrap of almost every day with a few group matches.

There is nothing better to wrap up a work week and put my friends and body bags with my ninja frog.

You know, when I'm not accidentally killing my own self, they call it the Knicks special.

Not kidding numbers.

Seven.

You know that incredible art style that Dragon Ball fighters as well guilty here eggs are.

Did it first, Most recent update to the Siri's Guilty gear.

Eggs are drab.

Two has the most complete roster to date.

But then again, all guilty years really been missing since 2006.

Is biking Lee this characters?

But no matter which eggs are you playing, this is animate fighting at some of its very best.

Not only does the combo system make it super easy to jump in and start doing combos, but guilty gear both some of the absolute most creative characters in any fighting game out there, l felt, lets you manually aim a sniper rifle anywhere you want.

Bounced throws random items on the screen.

You could even be a man who fights from a bed and is in fact made bed man.

What even is his game?

I don't know like I love it.

Number six Fighting games, Maybe hard work to keep balanced well, but that didn't stop Re Verge labs from creating the indie hit Skull Girls between a beautiful artwork and animation slick Art Deco aesthetic and fearless fighter design.

There's something here for every kind of fighting in fans, whether you like your fighters one B one to B two or three V three schoolgirls has you covered.

Better yet, this game, let's you mix and match those play styles as much as you want.

Plus, unlike a lot of big budget brawlers, Skull Girls Rocks GPO Net Co.

Basically, that just means that even if you're in a Laghi online match, there's not a crazy, annoying input delay to compensate Looking idea Dragonball.

It's 2008 date.

Skull Girls takes number six for all of the passion.

Put it everything from the mechanics that remove unblockable and infinite combos to the community that raised over $75,000 in the evil 2013 donation drive and still supports this wonderful game today.

Number five.

Since 1992 General Over here has been the battle cry of a generation much love to MKX and all but Mortal Kombat, otherwise known as Mortal Kombat.

Nine is the ultimate game for fans.

All of the classic characters you could have possibly can about are all here except for meets.

Whatever happened to meet for Mocha?

There are literally dozens of US nether realm anyway.

NK nine completely reinvented Mortal comment for a new age of fighting games built for both the competitive and the cash, X ray moves and new fatalities crank the carnage up to 11 just like any self respecting Mortal Kombat ban Bluebonnets.

Plus, there's tag team mode, the hilarious test, your luck mode in a story mode that no fighting game has beaten before or since.

No matter what you looking forward to finding Game Mortal Kombat nine is one of the most complete meet fighters you could ever hope to buy.

Number four.

Well, obviously, Marvel vs Capcom had to show up on this list sometime.

Even though Marvel infinite plays really well, it would be a little wrong to not give the spot toe.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom three.

It's got a simple control scheme, endless combo creativity in a fantastic roster with all kinds of unique place styles.

This game was my crack in 2011 but the only thing more fun than playing Marvel three might just be watching us.

And that's not a bad thing.

In fact, it's pretty great.

Ever since I first saw it in motion, Marvel vs Capcom, three has stood out as having the best presentation of any game I've ever played.

The comic book style graphics, The Amazing Medium soundtrack, the Announcer and even the little bits of banter that characters all share make UMBC three of Fighting in Spectacle said has Yet Toby talked infects I'm just gonna let us reign.

The piece of game play speak for itself.

Living Die I was so into the waiting game, looked and sounded before release that I would actually played in the back on like Spotify while I was working.

That's a little weird, but the only other game I have ever done that with is number three.

Okay, so compared to the rest of the top half of this list, this one is a little bit more underrated.

Hi repeatedly admitted on top tens that I am a diehard K, I think.

But even setting Fanboy ism aside, you'll hardly find a modern fighter.

With the accessibility and depth of the 2013 revival of Killer Instinct, it's free to play.

It comes with a good tutorial mode in comas are easier to do and break then ever before.

But it all comes with the level of competitive death that stands tall with the best of them.

Once you learn K eyes, you meat combo system, throwing some extremely creative character designs.

Plenty of single player Moz, the undisputed best online net code ever in a final game and personal opinion.

Feel free to fight on this one of the best soundtracks of the decade.

I might be a killer instinct chill, but I'm a shill for great reasons, OK, and if you ever see me playing it online, invite me to match and get a free woman, I'm dead serious.

That's my gamer.

Tag s a nervous Nick sending invite lose free number two.

Bandai Namco owes flagship three D fighting.

Siri's has had a couple of hits in the modern age alone, but it's tech and seven that truly deserves number two.

This game stays true to the classic tech and gameplay, but like any current fighting game, it ends in a few new things to get as many players hook as possible, where the first time characters can activate Rage Arts, which are flashy and powerful super moves that could bring epic Comeback and for the casual fans who'd rather just play purely for fun.

2nd 7 got a pretty beefy story mode.

Many games in the most absurd character customization advert you connects shower novels come out of their hands.

Why, Plus it's got a lot of cool guest characters, like a coma from street fighter geese, Howard from Fatal Theory noctis from Final Fantasy 15 and apparently Negan from the fricking walking Dead next, Tinky Winky from Tallinn toddies.

Actually, Tinky Winky would be a day one by From it, I I wouldn't main Tinky Winky.

It's number one is attacking to put the game that started the modern fighting in Crazy Number one.

Maybe it would be if Street Fighter four weren't so obviously deserving of top honors, and besides, Number one technically belongs to the final update.

Ultra Street fighter four.

No fighting game is truly balanced perfectly, but ultra street Fighter four is surprisingly even level, especially with a roster of 44 characters.

Speaking of which, there are dozens of returning favorites from just about every stage of street fighters past, plus some cool new characters to beat.

But beyond just the roster, the four Siri's struck a balance between Street Fighter two and three.

Thanks to the game changing focus attack, it could do everything from extend block strings and combos to absorbing oncoming attacks.

Street Fighter four takes number one not just because it led the charge for every modern fighting game that's come out since all these years later, it truly is still the greatest off the mall.

Besides compared a street fighter five.

I think I'll take four any day.

Our Secret Number 11.

It's really a shame that the King of Fighters 14 didn't keep the same amazing Sprite work of previous games.

But when it plays better than ever, it's hard to complain too much.
