that game was sub par and had no depth at all

it was just a repeat of the same moves to do massive 40++ hit combos

SF2 started it all, but a few stand out for me

Last Blade 2 by SNK
Garou: Mark of the Wolves by SNK
Sam Showdown 2 - SNK

Street Fighter Alpha 3

I love my emulators and my X-Arcade stick!

HOLOSSEUM! "drrrrrunk monkey!"
ok... that one really sucked.

Street Fighter II: Champion Edition
Samurai Shodown II (III, IV)
SF3 (and of the strikes)

i'm not a huge fan of the 99 combo and you only take 1/4 of their life fighting games.
w00t, an snk fan! honorable mentions to last blade2 and garou, i think i'll hook up my neo geo machine and play some ss1!
