I have been playing fighting games since Mortal Kombat 2 and I am still no good at them. I've tried Street Fighter, Soul Calibur, Killer Instinct, Marvel Vs Capcom and many other but the only fighting game that I truly enjoy is the Super Smash Bros. series. I love the characters stages and items. I'm proud of myself becauseI have finally gotten good enough so that I don't need items at all any more. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Melee.
I have also been playing Soul Calibur 2 lately and it is a ton of fun even though my friends mercilessly slaughter me.
