So I really want to get into playing fighting games, but I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions for beginner fighting games to play? I do own Soul Calibur 1 for DC and Soul Calibur 2 for GCN. Also, is it worth investing into arcade pads?

Thanks!

Easier Fighting games would be Soul CaliburIV and Marvel vs Capcom 3 which is coming out Feb 15 both are easy to learn but hard to master ....

 

As for arcade sticks if your really serious about it then get an arcade stick but I've seen good PRO players use a regular controller so it is up to decide.
