Some of the imitative inventions that took 2D fighting game to the next level:

Samurai Shodown (especially 2 & 4)
Guilty Gear

 

[Lorax]

street fighter alpha 3

 

[Lager]

Mortal Kombat was the worst fighting game, I only played it for the fatalities.

Also, SNK had lot of dumb fighting games. Art of Fighting series, World Heroes, etc.

 

[PHiuR]

have to say...

in this order.

Street Fighter ( any )

Tekken Tag/3

Marvel vs Capcom

Soul Calibur

Dead or Alive or whatever it was called in the arcades..bloody roar?

 

[Blayze]

Street Fighter (II, Turbo, III, etc...)

Marvel Vs. Capcom (1 & 2)

Soul Calibur

 

[SXMP]

Can't believe no one has mentioned Killer Instinct!

 

[Maleficus]

Tekken 3

 

[KGB1]

X-Men: Children of the Atom (Wolverine 0wN3d!!)
Samurai Showdown 2 (Hatori HANZO and Ukyo :Q )

 

[EvilYoda]

I believe that it's hard to say definitely...coming from a longtime hardcore fighting games fan, SFII revolutionized and started the genre, whereas Mortal Combat made it "realistic" and changed up the game engine, while Tekken took us into a 3D arena with depth that had never been seen before...

But overall, I guess SFII because it started it all, and even today, most of the popular fighting games are still just flashier variations of the same engine.
