Favourite 1 on 1 fighting game?

Smash Bros doesn't feel like a 1 on 1 fighter, I can't articulate why exactly.. maybe because you could roam around the world.  Fighters don't usually do this or because the moves usually only involved pushing a button in combination with a direction. Is powerstone and ps2 a fighting game? a 1 on 1 fighter ?

Smash Bros is a Beat 'em up fighter in my eyes. Not the same thing. If that's a 1 on 1 fighter, then so is Bushido Blade.

Campaign mode is just that.  A different mode, so that argument cinches nothing.  It doesn't disqualify the game from consideration when discussing 1v1 fighters.  And I don't believe I'm biased, either.  I love mvsc/mvsc2, as well as the SF Alphas, and numerous others.   High level play in Smash involves just as much speed, skill, technique, and mind games as any other fighting game.  I dare say the Melee installment was one of the most frenetically paced fighters made.

Agreed - well, best fighting game anyway ;)

Everyone seems to prefer MK2 (once had a friend jokingly tell me we probably shouldn't be friends anymore if I don't think MK2 is the best Mortal Kombat!), but I've always prefered the speed and game play mechanics of MK3/UMK3. Miss Johnny Cage, Baraka, and Raiden though.

Other than that, I love KI 1 and 2, SFII series, SFIII, and to lesser extents SFA, SFEX, Tekken, and Virtua Fighter series. Never really got into any others - most of the others I've played are just laughably bad or cheap clones of one of the aforementioned games - but my interest in seriously tackling new games really dropped off from the late '90s onward, so I may have missed out on some stuff I would've liked, I dunno.
