Paper Mario comes in 2nd for its timed/active gameplay to enhance attacks and defense. Tales is okay, but the guest AI is hit or miss for the series as a whole.

thecoolgu 01/12/18 3:39:25 PM #11:	The combat in the Mario and Luigi RPGs should be used in other RPGs. For those whom don't know, it's a very interactive style of combat where pressing a button at the correct time while performing an attack will make that attack stronger. Special Attacks require multiple successful button inputs to achieve maximum strength. You can also dodge and counter enemy attacks by pressing a button with good timing. Timed attacks and dodging are almost mandatory in combat. The enemies and bosses are loaded with HP, and the Mario bros can only take 2-3 hits before dying in the later parts of the games. --- This signature only exists because my post would be eccentric without it. <cite>thecoolgu posted [p:893918856] in Which seri...
