Your top 5 favorite fighting games?

I have it on 360 unfortunately. I use Jacky (admittedly I usually use the basic characters) and sometimes Lion. I would love to learn Akira I love his moves

I wouldn't say Jacky is basic at all. He is a very versatile character that has a lot of different stuff. Lion as well is great. Me? I play Pai, regardless of what people say about her in terms of, "tiers," as I enjoy her style and the variety of fighting stances she takes. It leaves a multitude of possibilities for you and can easily confuse people about where you are going.

Akira is a beast, but man... I just can't get the rhythm down with his moves. I love playing against him though, as Pai has a VERY short frame attack that beats out all his moves and stops him dead in his tracks which frustrates a LOT of people.

2) Street Fighter Alpha 3

Man, I loved the World Tour mode in the PS1 version of Alpha 3. My brother, cousin and I would spend hours with that. That alone probably puts that game in the top 5 of my favorite fighters.

2) Street Fighter Alpha 3

It's in the Dreamcast version as well. All fighting games should have stuff like this in my opinion.
