Even though I've always been pretty average at fighting games I've always preferred the Street Fighter series, I remember playing the original SF on an arcade machine in a local chip shop when I was a kid. From then till now I enjoyed SF more than any other fighting game but I never got into the SF/Tekken and Marvel hybrids though.
[QUOTE="Reptylus"]Blazblue - As far as I know it's the only one with a decent story and the gameplay doesn't stand behind either.
tekken-easy to get into....hard as hell to master.

This is the case for all serious fighting games. not really...some are just really simple...and some are 2 hard to get into.... vf is just hard to get into mk is just simple
I don't know if you would class this as a fighter as such, as it is a Wrestling game (more strategy than pure fighting as well), but the WWE series. But if that doesn't count, then it would be Tekken. I haven't actually played a pure fighting game (besides DoA4) for years besides Wrestling games, but that needs to change. My favourite was always the Tekken series back on the PS1. So yeah, if it counts, the WWE series :). In the end you are still fighting. It's just that it isn't fights that last a few seconds and the matches can take anywhere from a few seconds to half an hour or more (depending on the match type)
No. Super Smash Bros is NOT a fighting game. It's a party brawler that uses items to help you. It doesn't count as a fighting game.
Agreed, Smash Bros is not a traditional fighting game.
I would say Marvel vs Capcom 2, Soul Caliber 2, and Dead or Alive 3 are my favorite fighting games. I'm not a huge fan of the genre aside from those games.

Easy to use moves, combos (most of the time) and gameplay, doesn't take itself too serious, is awesome fun and looks just great (and I don't mean only the boobs of the girls, though they of course do as well xD )

This is the case for all serious fighting games. I find Street Fighter hard to do their moves. Have to crouch down or something and then stand up to do a Hadouken? Wtf. I like to play Tekken. Combos are pretty easy and I like the characters. After that I'd go with the DBZ games, mostly the Budokai ones.
I in no way consider myself even moderately skilled in fighting games, but I'm going to toss a vote for the Virtua Fighter series.Allicrombie
Am I the only one who finds it funny that someone who says he / she doesn't consider him / herself skilled in fighting games likes the most difficult fighting game the most? x)

No offense, it's just it really cracks me up xD
Is VF that difficult?
Wow.
And i thought DOA was!
Well, about Virtua Fighter I only played Virtua Fighter 4 on PS2 but it was pretty hard as far as I remember. Not Ninja-Gaiden-Like hard, but if you wanted to fight skillful and effective PLUS making it look good you hat to put pretty much effort into it.
Dead or Alive on the other side (played DoA 2 on PS2 and now DoA 5 on PS3) ....well, SOME characters like Ryu Hayabusa and his special throw are difficult, but it's pretty easy just to mash some buttons (not a bad thing in this case) and be effective and look good, counter, throws, etc. most stuff requires just one button and a directional button to pull of, some requir timing, but in the big picture it's pretty easy to look awesome and have fun combats. I think DoA is one of the easiest fighting games to play out there, though it still manages to provide enough of a challenge to make it not too easy and for the pro's there are challenges enough when you tighten the AI difficulty.
Virtua Fighter and Dead or Alive right now. Also Soul Calibur back when they were better games. I intend to play the new Mortal Kombat and Persona 4 Arena at some point.
The new Mortal Kombat game. I remember playing the first few games (up to MK Trilogy) when I was a kid so it was really nice to see the plot returning to the beginnings of MK. The characters also have their own personalities instead of being color swapped models like in the old days :).
