Soul Calibur 2 is probably the best traditional fighting fighting game ever. Traditional meaning two people fighting until their health bar disappears. This game has hundreds of combos and moves for each of the 23 characters. The best thing of all is that it doesn't have all of those INSANE button combos found in mortal combat. The one player weapon master mode is full of many missions that test your fighting skills and lets you buy new weapons. The reason I like the Gamecube version better is because the control is good and it has Link who is way better than Heihachi or Spawn. You definitely have to get this game.
