As for my favorite fighting game of all time, that would be Capcom vs SNK 2, and the King of Fighters series.

I like fighting games a lot, because I like the constant mindgames and seeing how the opponent things in so many instances over the course of a round.

The Cap vs SNK games were so great, as were the KoF games... : ) The different systems in CvsSNK were really awesome and made for cool different ways to play, from the standard 3 bars to the rage bar of Samurai Showdown. And the KoF games had so many great and interesting characters. : D But the bosses were so OP! >.<

Yeah KOF's character design is one of the main reasons I got into the series. Rock Howard ftw! (Though he didn't technically originate from the KOF series.) Sadly I think SF4 is for the most part pretty weak in the character design department. The different modes in CVS really made things interesting, as it appealed to many different gamestyle preferences (parrying for example) and could also make a character better or worse depending on the mode you chose. Really wish we'll see CVS3 some day.

Yeah, there were so many characters I liked! Iori, Kasumi, Vanessa, King, Yamazaki, K9999, there`s so many cool characters! x ) Terry was my favorite, but I think CvsSNK cemented that with Terry`s voice in that game. It sounded so cool and funny with "Powa Wave!" and "Are you okay? BUSTER WOLF!" I really like how they changed Athena`s costumes in every game : )

I liked the goofy feeling style of SF4, but for some reason I couldn`t get into it. I guess I like sprites more...
