I started playing fighting games seriously with Tekken 3 (still my favorite). Now I play TTT, T4, VF4, and SC2.

TTT - In my opinion, one of the best fighters ever. Mishima style developed in Korea was very technically demanding, and even today people there are hitting impossible just frame combos (Kaz WS+2:EWGF launch) and generally just being incredible bastards.

T4 - One of the more innovative 3D fighters. Characters like Lee, Hwoarang and Law were given revamped movelists that were perfect, and enourmously well-recieved by the community. Were Jin taken out, balance would be very good (even low-tier characters only need a small boost). Walls are awesome. I play this one competitively way more than the others, and most of my practice time is devoted to anti-Jin (really, the presence of a broken character makes it all the more challenging if you don't choose that character).

VF4 - The most technical, high-level fighter I've ever seen. Perfect balance, good engine (being a Tekken native, some parts of the engine are hard to get used to), and highly realistic. Probably the most well-done fighting game on the market.

SC2 - SC2 will always be a different breed of fighter. Its balance is second only to VF4, for now: everyone has been playing the game for some time, and lately problems are starting to arise with lame gameplay (strong step, Xianghua needing 5 moves to compete).
