Fighting Games

[David75]

I'm a total noob regarding next gen console games, well for almost any game as I stopped almost 20 years ago (except some trials here and there)

Question:
I have a PS3 and search a combat game with a good online mode.
I want to be able to fight with friends, I do not want generic rooms where you do not choose who you fight with. I do not care for story modes and the like.

If possible, the game would not be too hard to manipulate, I really do not care for ultra-mega-super combos where you need to memorize 40 timed-button press.

I just need a good flashy brawl, that is easy on my old hands

Tekken 6 is fun, but the online mode does not fit (I can't choose who I play with if I understand the descriptions well)

Mortal Kombat and Street fighter franchise would fit if online mode is good. Why, because I've played them from my teenage days. I'm old enough to have played the original streetfighter on my atari 1040ste and of course the original Mortal Kombat in arcade and PS1.

Soulcalibur? I've never been able to like the franchise.
Virtua Fighter? only played it on PS1 a long time ago, I don't know how it evolved.

Thanks for any input

You can create your own Lobby in Tekken 6 and use Private Slots to fight your friends. Go to Player Match, then to Create Session, set the number of people you want in the Lobby where it says Max Players, choose the number of Private Slots, and then Create Session and use L1 to invite your friends.

You can't create a Lobby in Ranked Match.

Whenever I get on Tekken, I gravitate to Emilie and choose her costume with the green tank top and silver pants. I just beat some guy online with her just now while testing the create options. He was using Law and it was 2-2 going in to the final round.
