Best fighting game to get into?

[Game_Carrier]

Im thinking about getting something like Tekken 7 but i dont know if there is any better game that would be better to buy/get good at.
Suggestions?

I'd give Castle Crashers - a side scrolling beat them up - a go. It's so cheap in the sale - £1.99 - that you could buy a newer game too.

I enjoyed Sleeping Dogs and the Yakuza series but they are both more RPG than straight fighting.

For that matter the combat system in Batman Arkham Asylum (and sequels - also a variant in Mad Max) is pretty good.

TBH I struggled with the controls, the very clunky story, and the gross sexism of the newer Mortal Kombat games - the greatest superpower on display is the girls' breasts somehow staying inside their flimsy tops. Minority report.

Injustice - Gods Amongst Us gets good reviews.

S.x.

cyberpunk 2077 is the best game right now for almost any genre, except puzzles and rts/strategy and maybe some niche genres. However, the fighting in the game is the best of any game and the entire game is just amazing

WOW, those "fighting games" recommendations.

Depends on the difficulty level you want and whether the theme appeals to you. This is always a difficult thing to discuss because what "clicks" for you might not for someone else.

SFV is a classic. If the gore doesn't put you off then MK11 is a win. Skull Girls is really good as well.

Edit: Tekken is amazing as well, but personally I find it incredibly difficult.

Best to ask the communities. You kinda need that in-depth input on this one.

(a lot of those other suggestions are so incorrect it physically killed me inside)

Thanks! Tekken it is.

If the game wasn't so dead, I'd say Killer Instinct is really fun to play and learn but otherwise the clear winner for me is Mortal Kombat 11 since just has a much higher active playerbase.

I tried Injustice 2 but the multiverse was like...

'Offf..bash...biff..bosh...punch...kick....COMBO!...punch...dead"

I tried Streetfighter V and had fun

Blazblue Centralfiction is my current favorite. Guilty Gear seems promising too, but I didn't install it yet.

BlazBlue might be a great game, but terrible for newcomers. It's quite complex and gimmicky and has possibly the worst known netcode. I'd personally recommend Under Night in-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r]. It's simpler than Arc System Works' fighters and has the best tutorial you can find. The netcode is... okay. Guilty Gear Xrd would be my second pick, but it can be quite an up-hill struggle.
