What makes SC series better than other FG?

In terms of game play, it boils down to the guard button for me. Being able to block whenever I want is the best. Beyond that, the overall engine for SC makes the most sense out of all the fighters. It feels right when I put it all together.

But in terms of presentation, I have always loved Killer Instinct the most. Everything about it was just manly and badass (the music, the atmosphere, the characters, the voices, the announcer, the evil). Hell, just look at my display picture, it fits the description too. SC's presentation, however, is far too lame for me to get excited about.

A tale of souls and swords.... Yawn.
 
So you saying Soul Calibur is the best FG ever

I have to disagree with you on that, Street Fighter 2, Dead or Alive or even VF is the best also

Whether he is trolling or not, Vints has stumbled upon something here. The presentation aesthetic of SC is not to my taste, and hasn't been since SC1. Even Tekken has a much better presentation aesthetic. Good thing SC's core gameplay is so good that it allows me to look past that. Kind of like an ugly girl with a great personality that knows how to cook and isn't offended when I ask "is it ok if we turn off the light?"

Personal opinion: SF2ST is the greatest "total package" fighting game of all time. VF4EVO comes in second for me. SC4 rates #3.
 
What i like about SC are the fighting styles. Fluid like Natsu, choppy like Aeon, gross motoric(do you even say that in english?) like Asta, just crazy like Yoshi or Voldo and so on.
The fighting styles make SC the most appealing FG to me graphically.
Shiny JFs and the scrubby sense of accomplishment i get out of them are also good.

The controls are the most intuitive to me, although for many people i know it's more intuitive to have a button for each extremity like in Tekken.

I also like the speed of the game, i think it's rather fast.

As a conclusion, i'd say SC doesn't get the attention it deserves, as it is obviously the best :P
I hope that changes for SCV.

Edit: This Thread reminds me of the SC Series Appreciation Thread which mysteriously got unstickied.
 
Mind games without projectiles is all I really need.

EDIT: Before people try to tell me idk what im talking about. I know some characters have them but aren't as spammable as iAir Fans and iFireballs
