Hey, do you play Street Fighter?
Tekken?
BlazBlue?
Virtua Fighter?
Soul Calibur maybe?

Then this thread's for you!

I personally have:

Battle Fantasia, Tekken 6, Street Fighter 4, Super Street Fighter 4, Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike Online, BlazBlue CT, BlazBlue CS, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, and Soul Calibur 4.
All for PS3.

I haven't played current gen fighting games, but pre-2005 stuff I played them quite a bit because my cousin is a fighting game fan. I used to play Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Tekken, Dead Or Alive mostly. I did play Virtua and Soul Calibur, but only once or twice, so I'm not all that familiar with the mechanics and characters of those games.

Mortal Kombat 3 was pretty much my introduction to the genre, and I was a fan of all the colourful characters in it and the mythology surrounding it. I checked out the previous installments of the game, but at the time I felt MK3 was still my favourite because of how much more elaborate it was compared to 1 and 2. Hey, you grow up with a sequel, you get spoiled.

Killer Instinct pretty much was next in line. Right now, I feel as though it copies Mortal Kombat in a lot of ways, but at the time I didn't see it because I hadn't played all that many games. It had an interesting combo system and a great soundtrack.

I was introduced to Street Fighter relatively late. It was SF2, of course. It didn't stick all that much with me. until I played a Street Fighter EX game from Arika on the PSX. I know a lot of people deride the SF EX series, but I have fond memories of them. I'm a fan of the characters Pullum Purna, Garuda, and D. Dark.

It was SF EX 3 that was among the games that introduced me to the next generation of consoles, among others the PS2 which my cousin owned. Aside from SF EX 3, I also played the better-known games Tekken Tag Tournament and Dead Or Alive 2. I played the heck out of both games, though between them, I'm partial to DOA 2, simply because the gameplay seems to be more fluent. I was blind to the cheesecake in DOA, and Kasumi remains one of my all-time favourite fighting game characters next to SF's Chun-Li.

That's about it. I also played Super Smash BRos. and SSB Melee, but not Brawl. I think it was an interesting take on the fighting game genre, with a different, original fighting system.

I'm obsessed with SC5 for PS3. My username's The_Infernal_One. Add me. I'm getting ready to play it now.

I've enjoyed the Super Smash Bros. games if those count. Otherwise I've only maybe tried a few different versions of Street Fighter 2 and Killer Instinct on the SNES. The genre just feels way too clunky and restrictive to me, whereas the SSB games did away with all that. Of course you could say they are more like party games.

Street Fighter (and Capcom in general) actually happens to be one of my special interests. I am basically a walking encyclopedia when it comes to Capcom fighting games.

Other than that I am a huge fighting game fan. I've played SF, Darkstalkers, Dead or Alive, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Weaponlord, Soul Calibur, Eternal Champions, and a whole bunch of others.

I'm pretty much a SNK fighting game fanatic if anything. I haven't been playing many SNK fighting games lately though. I also play Street Fighter Alpha 3, SoulCalibur 2, and Mortal Kombat 9 from time to time.
