I love fighting games. Street Fighter IV is probably one of the only games I consistently play these days. I can never get tired of it.
I bought Street Fighter III off the Xbox Live Market the other day. It's really fun and there are some really unique characters, but goddamn is it hard. I also can't figure out the whole parrying system, much more complex than a simple dodge or block and it seems to be an essential part of the game.
I've also been playing a bit of Marvel vs Capcom 2 again because my college has an arcade cab in its lunch room. It's awesome, and probably one of the best fighters ever, but I'm horrible at it. I mean, I was decent at the PS3 version, but playing with an arcade stick takes some serious getting used to.Still, it's fun to play when you have time to kill between classes.
They also have a Street Fighter VS X-Men machine, and while it's pretty fun the arcade mode is ungodly difficult. I can't even get past round 2.

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike is my favourite SF by far, it's so well balanced, fast and it punishes you if you fail, HARD. And the parry system is one of the game turners of all time, since you could be losing but a well parried execution can make you win the round or even make you champion. Don't get me wrong, I really like SSFIV, but it's too easy compared to 3rd Strike and you can see that on how the arcade deals with you. I've beaten the arcade mode of SSFIV on Hardest with Dan without losing any round or match. But I surely can't say the same thing with 3rd Strike. No, I'm not perfect in SSFIV, as you could see by my BP's and PP's and all that, but it's a far more easier game to get into than 3rd Strike. Yes, 3rd Strike was designed to eat yer quarters, but still, it's a far more improving and thoughfull playground than SSFIV.
Ya got SSFIV on PS3? Let's make some fights: KINGodfather.
