to be one of the GOAT video game fighting series, or video game series period

The first two was off the CHAIN

? was different from any other fighting game at a time where street hip hop was at its peak
Big ass Dmob was the leader of the rival faction, with his chiefs being DMX and Ludacris, not to mention Method n Redman tag team.
Plus CM was yo girl

Den FFNY:
Possible a top 5 fighting game alltime:
The game was more street than before, you were on Dmobs team while Snoop ran the other side, with Busta Rhymes and ? as his main goons. All the hoz from lil kim to kimora to Shawna. Legends(Flava Flav, scarface, Ice T, Warren G). We all remember fightin Xzibit in the bar, or fightin ? in the cage. lets not forget the Clothing that was hot then and jacob sellin u the ice2mqm43q.jpg
classic game

Den its Icon:
Ruined everything
took away blazing moves, wacc rappers, wacc fightin, wacc songs. They ruined a game that had soooo much potential smh.

RIP Def Jam series gone but never forgotten

    Good ? . Yeah, Vendetta was fun, like a spiritual successor to WWF Wrestlemania 2000/ No Mercy. Fight for NY was dope as ? , one of the few fighting games that genuinely gave the feeling of beating someone the ? down. I hope they find a way to team back up with AKI (syn Sophia) and bring it back to the style of these if they do another one. Icon was trash.

    Yeah, mine was glitchy as ? . I just remember renting it when i was like 8 i didnt even know who wu tang was at the time but i remember loving the music in it haha. When i rented it i would try fighting and sometimes in some rounds none of my hits would connect at all. ? me off lose 2 rounds without doing any damage. and it would freeze on me every other hour. i returned it with the quickness tbh.

    naaah man, i think FFNY actually deserves to be looked at as a top contender for the best fighter of all time.
    it was a well balanced game that let you run wild with you imagination.
    no other fighter has done that...

    not even that ? Fighter Maker from ps1 had the depth FFNY had...

    Don't get me wrong..My fam clocked in some crazy hours in FFNY...but Melee has to be the GOAT more-than-2-player game...Only Mario Kart can compete...

    Also...No love for Power Stone?
