Metal Overlord
Smash Hero
This is my absolute favorite fighting game series out there other than Smash, of course. I grew up with the series and I'm glad to see that it's really getting back on track with Mortal Kombat 9 after a few missteps (namely Mortal Kombat Armageddon and DC Universe). Although I like all the gruesome fatalities that the games have had to offer, there is a lot more to the series than that which has made me come back for more. The series' over-the-top nature keeps the series interesting to me, the fun little Easter Eggs and hidden content throughout the games make me replay the game, and for a fighting game, the series actually has a pretty decent (if somewhat cheesy) story that I love to follow. So, with that said, feel free to discuss your favorite characters, games, fatalities, any other type of finishing moves, stages, or anything else! I'll start off with mine:
