1) Street Fighter 3 Third Strike
Best Fighting Game Ever. The Parry system, super arts, the still unbeatable ultra smooth animation...everything in this game is absolute perfection.
2) The King of Fighters 98.
Forget KOF 2K2, that utter korean shit Mugen disguised as a Kof, KOF 98 is the pinnacle of the series, and the greatest dreammatch ever. The DC & PS2 ports were ok, but the original MVS version still reigns as the best.
3) The Last Blade 2.
I had to choose a Weapon based fighting game, and instead Soul Calibur 2/3 (which are great) Last Blade 2 is my favorite. One of the greatest SNK titles ever made (and the "latest"), this Rurouni Kenshin inspired versus has an amazing Battle system (with 3 modes available) and gorgeus graphics. Not to mention the 20 meter samurai monster Musashi...
4) TEKKEN 5
Im not too fond of 3D fighters, but i have to admit that Tekken 5 is a masterpiece by its own merit. A loooot of game modes, the 3 first tekkens included, well balanced roster and graphics that even today still amazes me.
5) Fighting Eyes.
An absolute legend of the Fighting Games. High speed battles, bursting adrenaline, an incredible soundtrack (Guilty Gear X´s soundtrack sounds like Resident Evil´s basement theme compared to this) and 3D graphics REAL AS HELL.
The Fight is in your Eyes, too!
