    Great list of games both hardcore and casual players can enjoy, and they still hold up today. KoF 11, Mahvel 2, Soul Caliber 2, and Tekken 5 were probably the best time in my competitive childhood outside of Melee & Smash 3DS. All these games taught me how to be patient, respect neutral, and polished my reaction time with muscle memory. Which are skills I was able to carry over to other challenging single player games down the line. Those are great places to start, cus the learning curve is quite generous. Best part is a lot of these titles are still affordable.

    Soul Calibur II was fun, but my favorite is still Soul Calibur III. MK Armageddon is special to me because it was the first MK game I had played in a long time after falling out of the series due to other interests. I fell back in love with the franchise after spending my summer playing through it. It came at the right time too, because I was in a bit of a gaming low point after my entire PS2 memory card got corrupted. I came back to it for old time's sake and I was not disappointed. I loved the character creation too and it was supposed to be the last MK game but boy am I glad it wasn't! Tekken 5 is the one Tekken game I have the most experience with. I'm not very good at the game but I enjoyed playing it when it came out. Budokai Tenkaichi 3 I enjoyed as well, though I didn't play it as much as the other DBZ games.

    I have a PS2 and have some of the games mentioned on this list: Soul Caliber 2, Tekken 5 (and Tag), Virtua Fighter 4. And I play those games regularly with my nephew and cousin (especially TT for the bowling game, it's so much fun). And it's amazing to me how almost 20 years or almost 20 years later, how amazing these games look. And how amazing they still play and sound. It's crazy to me how crappy the PS1 games look but the PS2, GameCube, X-Box have a good amount of games that still look amazing till this day, on the consoles. Not emulation or anything.

    Pleased to see DOA in the thumbnail... though it's the one DOA game I've never experienced. Soulcalibur 3 and Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 are amongst my top 5 favourite PS2 games, so I'm hoping to see at least one of them here. 0:15 - Okay, wasn't the Soulcalibur I was expecting. Still a great game, though naturally overshadowed by it's GameCube counterpart. 4:25 - DOA's easy barrier of entry is such a great appeal to it. Combo's and exciting events via stage interactions come about quite quickly. Almost had the chance to get DOA2 recently but I hesitated to buy it because I couldn't remember if I had all the cables needed to set up the PS2. 9:35 - Another one of those instances where I had to go "Oh yeah, it released on the PS2 as well." I absolutely adored DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3... on the Wii.

    I remember my friends playing SOUL CALIBUR 2 on a PS2 rental near in our place back when i was in highschool 2000's so i cant forget Kilik as that was the character my friend always used hahaha... and for DOA it really has a good graphics and it will became much more better if you use the widescreen patch and on OPL you can upscale it to 1080i if your are using Component Cable..sometimes i play DOA2 and practice some moves..i wish Koei Tecmo implement a similar character movement to Tekken because its hard to sidestep sometimes when you press Up 2 times the character will jump because in my opinion DOA2 is so similar to Tekken 5 in terms of fighting style back then "NO OVER THE TOP MOVES OR DEATHCOMBOS" by the way i have a PS2 Rental back 2008-2010 and the mostly played games was Tekken 5 and DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3..and youre right about Budokai "ITS THE DEFINITIVE" same aspect for Tekken 5...i do recommend also Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja 4 and 5 (JPN) as in my experience and my customers playing it..its also a DEFINITIVE for the PS2 era...from Story Mode to fast action Versus mode...PS2 is still the best console who also have the BEST GAMES ever made..that you still keep coming back to play it...Anyways NICE VIDEO SIR!!! LOVE IT!!!! 👌👌👌💖💖💯👏👏👏

    10 must have fighting games on ps2 Also no wrestling games like def jam and wwe smackdown. 1. Tekken 5 - the best fighting game on ps2 if not one of the greatest fighting games of all time! And one of the best games on ps2! A must own game! 2. Soul Calibur 3 - i love soul calibur 2 and think its a must own game as well but if someone gonna ask me what’s the best soul calibur game on ps2 is soul calibur 3. Have a good story mode, have a create a character mode and unlike the 2nd game this one is unique because it’s ps2 exclusive! 3. Tekken Tag Tournament- the last namco fighting game i gonna write here (if urban reign even counts as a fighting game but it’s not) the best ps2 launch title and actually aged well! If people rather play something more similar to the ps1 tekken games than tekken 4 & 5 or even tekken 7 this one is very recommended. 4. Capcom VS SNK 2 - one of three capcom fighting games I recommend and in my opinion the better version of the game that’s you can play. A good roster, very fun and challenging and look good. 5. Fate/unlimited codes - the 2nd capcom fighting game and sadly it’s japanese only on ps2. Developed by 8ing (bloody roar, tatsunoko vs. capcom and marvel vs. capcom 3) and they managed to make a really good fighting game. 6. Vampire Darkstalkers Collection - in my opinion the best capcom fighting collection on ps2 and the definitive way to play any darkstalkers game at all! Even the recent capcom fighting collection doesn’t have sone content from this collection that’s insane. Sadly another japan only game but it’s not hard to play. 7. The King of Fighters 11 - the best 2D KoF on PS2, the most wildest roster in any 2D KoF, fun 3 on 3 tag mode and look and sound great. A must own on ps2. 8. The King of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation A - another japan only game but i think its the best MI game, the roster is decent and the gameplay is much better than all of the MI games because it’s feel more like the regular 3 on 3 Team battle gameplay from the classic KoF games. 9. Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution - one of the best looking fighting games on ps2 and have great fighting gameplay. A must own for VF and sega fans. 10. Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 - I can’t recommend tenkaichi 3 because it’s not a fighting game (it’s a battle arena game) and for me a must own dragon ball game is budokai 3 (not tenkaichi 3 that’s shown on the video). It’s by far a very good looking game and fun and have great single player content. I could also recommend infinite world (the sequel for budokai 3) but I can’t because it’s harder than budokai 3 and basically less good. Honorable mentions (good games but not must own in my opinion on ps2): Marvel VS Capcom 2 - one of the greatest fighting games of all time but i think the dreamcast version is the best version and also its gonna get a modern port (it’s already got an arcade1up release recently). Tekken 4 - i like tekken 4 but i think tekken tag and 5 are must own because their legacy. Soul Calibur 2 - the ps2 version it’s in my opinion the best version of the game available today (got delisted from ps3 and 360 recently) because the arcade board that’s run the game is basically a ps2 and it’s was an easy port and a dualshock controller it the best controller for a 3d namco fighting game but… it’s not a must own because the gamecube got the best guest character and the original xbox support 720p so maybe the ps2 is the best version but not the popular version also soul calibur 3 exists. Neo Geo Battle Colliseum - i love this game its just Capcom Fighting Evolution but good! But i think its not a must own game because the 360 version exists and its backwards compatible. But at least the ps2 version have 3d backgrounds. Mortal Kombat Armageddon - great roster but the lack of fatalities ruin the fun. Also not a must buy game because the wii version is the better one and the best mk game on ps2 is Shaolin Monks and it’s not a fighting game. Dead or Alive 2 - good game but I really don’t think any of the dead or alive titles are a must own on any playstation platform. Get it on xbox its work on any xbox with backwards compatibility. Bloody Roar 3 & 4 - i like the bloody roar games I recommend to try any of them but they not a must buy especially the ps2 games. Primal Fury and Extreme are the best. Any of the Street Fighter games - the only one i can recommend is ex3 but it’s not a must buy game. Alpha Anthology it’s a good collection but not the definitive way to play most of the games (maybe if you want to play hyper street fighter alpha). Third Strike is better on ps3 and 360 and hyper available on modern consoles. Super Dragon Ball Z - made by arika (street fighter ex) it’s unique dragon ball game but i rather play any of the dimps budokai games. Any of the Sega Ages Fighting Games - Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Viper and Last Bronx got ps2 ports they japanese only release sadly (the games are in English) but very recommended for sega fans but they are not must own because vf2 and fv1 available on newer hardware (ps3 and 360) but last bronx is still stuck on ps2 and saturn.
