    Hello. I am building a collection of games and I want to save storage space.
    I am creating two topics to ask for help about fighting games.

    I believe I will choose 1 fighting game per series per console.
    It would be good if the more recent game was the best, but the older game may have a good different gameplay and good exclusive contents, such as characters, skills and arenas.

    I do not have and I do not know all of these games, then I need help to choose some games.
    I need a way or criterion to choose the games of a series or recommendation.

    Thanks.



    __________
    The best Street Fighter III:
    -New Generation
    -2nd Impact: Giant Attack
    -3rd Strike: Fight for the Future
    The best Street Fighter Alpha:
    -Street Fighter Alpha
    -Street Fighter Alpha 2
    -Street Fighter Alpha 3
    Should I get the third game of these series and forget the other games? Will I lose anything good?

    The best Street Fighter Ex:
    -Street Fighter Ex (PS1)
    -Street Fighter Ex 2 (PS1)
    -Street Fighter Ex 3 (PS2)
    Is this series good? Should I get Ex 2 instead of Ex1? Ex 3 does not seem popular, is it bad?

    The best Tekken for PS1:
    -Tekken
    -Tekken 2
    -Tekken 3
    Tekken 3 is the only game I played and I loved it.
    Should I get Tekken 3 and forget the other games? Will I lose anything good?

    The best Tekken for PS2:
    -Tekken 4
    -Tekken 5
    -Tekken Tag Tournament
    Should I get Tekken 5 and forget the other games? Will I lose anything good?
    I cannot have all of them, because PS2 games are large.

    The best Soulcalibur games:
    -Soul Edge (Namco System 11, PS1)
    -Soulcalibur (Namco System 12, DC)
    -Soulcalibur II (PS2)
    -Soulcalibur III (PS2)
    I think I will choose 2 games from the list. What about Soulcalibur I and Soulcalibur III?

    The best Virtua Fighter:
    -Virtua Fighter 2 (Model 2, SAT)
    -Virtua Fighter 3 (Model 3, DC)
    -Virtua Fighter 4/4 Evolution (Naomi, PS2)
    VF2 is a classic, but I did not like it. I think I will get VF4, should I get VF3 too?

    The best Mortal Kombat for PS2 (or Wii):
    -Deadly Alliance
    -Deception
    -Armageddon
    It seems people dislike MK Armageddon because the gameplay has nothing new, it is MK Deception with new characters.
    I want to choose MK Armageddon. Should I get the PS2 version or the Wii version (with classic controller)?

    Dead or Alive:
    -Dead or Alive (PS1, Model 2)
    -Dead or Alive 2 (PS2, Naomi)
    Is the first Dead or Alive a good game?

    Arcana Heart:
    -Arcana Heart Full
    -Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2
    -Arcana Heart 3
    Should I get AH3 and forget the other games? Will I lose anything good?

    Guilty Gear series:
    -Guilty Gear (PS1)
    -Guilty Gear X Plus/Ver 1.5 (PS2, Atomiswave)
    -Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus (PS2, Wii, Naomi)
    What are the good ones?

    Killer Instinct
    -Killer Instinct (Arcade)
    -Killer Instinct 2 (Arcade)
    Fighting Vipers:
    -Fighting Vipers (SAT, Model 2)
    -Fighting Vipers 2 (DC, Model 3)
    Virtual On:
    -Virtual On: Cyber Troopers (SAT, Model 2)
    -Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram (DC, Model 3)
    Power Stone:
    -Power Stone (DC, Naomi)
    -Power Stone 2 (DC, Naomi)
    For these 4 series, should I get only the second game or both games?

    The best The King of Fighters for PS1
    -KOF 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99
    KOF 94 is bad and it seems KOF 97 is the first good game of the series.
    People say 98 is the best game. Should I get another game as well?

    The best King of Fighters for PS2
    -KOF 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, XI
    People say 2002 is the best game. Should I get another game as well?
    Is XI good?
    There is a PS2 version of KOF 98, how good is it? Should I keep both KOF 98 versions if it is good enough? (the PS1 version for weaker PC and the PS2 version for strong PC)

    The best BlazBlue games:
    -Calamity Trigger
    -Continuum Shift/II/Extend
    -Chrono Phantasma
    I will wait and see if they will release a PC version of all games or the emulation of the Arcade version.
