Lets get spicy.
1. Street Fighter 2
2. Samurai Shodown
3. Killer Instinct (SNES)
3) Def Jam: Fight For NY
One of the first fighters I've played that had a cohesive story, years ahead of what we would currently see out of games like Mortal Kombat and Injustice. Not to mention the hip-hop aesthetic and the fusions of styles with a baseline wrestling system made the game a blast.
Kick it up a notch with maybe some reasons
Bushido Blade
Tobal 2
Virtua Fighter 5 (Maybe 5, I'm not quite sure)
I'm sneaking Tekken 3 in here too because although it's not my usual style of fighting game I did spend absolutely hours playing the PS1 game with my family and loved it at the time.

I forgot about Tobal 2. I've played it briefly in an emulator and it was fantastic. Was an unofficial English translation ever released for it? IIRC it was Japanese release only. I'd love to devote some serious time to it someday.
Ha, fighting games really aren't my favourite genre so it's generally been games that are a little different to the mainstream that I've enjoyed.You sir, are a true patrician.
Exquisite taste, especially on that Tobal 2 selection
You're a fine gentleman. May god bless your fighting days

Bushido Blade was an absolutely incredible game that just made so much sense to me. I didn't get on as well with the second game because although they added new "stuff" to the game I don't think it really improved on anything that was already there for me.
It's similar with Tobal 2 although this time it was the first game that didn't really do a lot for me, the second game just blew me away though and it looked incredible as it ran in the high res mode and use Gouraud shading which looked ridiculously good.
I know it's not the same but in some ways Tobal 2 exists in the same ball park as Virtua Fighter. There's a certain elegance to the that runs through the three that I picked which means they make more sense to me for some reason.
I've only briefly tried it and it's a very different type of game but there is a touch of Bushido Blade in For Honor.
I've no idea, I'd be surprised if there wasn't but I've not played it since the PS1 days.
