Final FIght

Killler Instinct

Quake 2!

Samurai shodown

Tekken tag tournament

Dead or alive 2 hardcore

Virtua fighter 4

Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Superheroes

Tekken 3

Soul Calibur 2

Dragonball Z Budokai 3? (If that counts)

It's hard to consider most of these old considering I still play them regularly, but my favorites are: MvC2, CvS2, Soul Calibur II and The Rumble Fish 2.

Soul Calibur II will always hold a special place in  my heart. It's the game I played at a national level and even later owned the Ver. D arcade cab. Game is so good.
