which fighting game takes the most skill?

People choosing Brawl don't know WTF they're talking about. Brawl isn't even a true fighting game -- it's a party game with some things in it that resemble a fighting game. There aren't even any true combos. Any idiot can pick this game up and put up a fight. The learning curve for this game is a strait line. But, given the nature of this site, I'm not suprised people are putting above games far better than it.

VF probably is the hardest out of the 3D fighters, and KOF out of the 2D fighters.

 

It's a game where characters are placed on a stage with the sole objective being to beat the crap out of each other.  It's a fighting game.  Just because it's not a complex fighting game doesn't mean it doesn't take skill.  You take a new guy and put him in front of someone who's played a few matches (who knows how to dodge roll, and is somewhat familiar with his character), there is no competition.

And fights between two highly-skilled players (or players of equal level) can be something to behold.

 

Brawl wins by a long shot, though, to be fair, I haven't played VF5 or much of 4.
