Let's get ready to rumble!
Which fighting series do you like best. Note: I excluded sports-based fighting games like Ready to Rumble and Raw vs. Smackdown because those are not really "fighting" games and are actually based on sports. I also excluded games like Urban Reign and Yi-Ar Kung Fu because those aren't series.

In my opinion, it'd defiantly be either Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. And you can't forget Soul Calibur, but that's too mystical.
But you know, Mortal Kombat got kinda boring after Deadly alliance, but took a big boost after Armageddon.
But, you can't go wrong with Akuma, so I'll say Street Fighter.
OOC: And it's SmackDown! vs RAW.

Personally, the Street Fighter series holds the most memories and will always be my favorite... I still play them to this day. This is a very hard thing to do, because I have so many that I like... but next would be Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur, Tekken, Guilty Gear, the King of Fighters/Fatal Fury, Streets of Rage and DOA. Marvel vs Capcom, those games were fun too... NeoGeo Battle Coliseum is a fun game too, it has a lot of fighters from SNK's games. Haha... too many to name. The only one I never cared for is Mortal Kombat.

From the poll choices, I pick Tekken. Good stuff.
One of my favorite fighting games is Guilty Gear X2. I wouldn't say that it's my favorite fighting game series though, because the rest of the games aren't really that great.

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."

Street Fighter, particularly the Alpha series, given thats the only one I'm any good at it.
Virtua Fighter does come in at a second, though.

LOL I never got to play that one... heard it was something like Guilty Gear, but never found the port anywhere. I guess I need to find myself a copy on ebay or something and give it a try sometime. :p

Some of my favorite scriptures.
Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Where's Super Smash Bros.?
It should be on this list cus it's cool.
Anyway, I'm not really sure which to choose since I like the street fighter series (especially Marvel Vs. Capcom) but I also really like Super Smash Bros (Melee). I mean I spent over a hundred hours playing it in the last five years and it's one of my most played GameCube games.
I'll probably vote "other" (Super Smash Bros).

Really 2D and 3D should be judged separately since the gameplay and overall design philosophy are very different.
By series, meaning judging the line of iterations of a franchise, then for 2D fighting the King of Fighters series easily is on the top for continually refining and adding elements to gameplay, in-depth characters, etc.
I would give honorable mentions for 2D in terms of series to Samurai Shodown, Last Blade, and Street Fighter Alpha.
But really the best 2D fighting games I would give to Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and Street Fighter III: Third Strike. They easily are the most refined and balanced in 2D fighting gameplay design, art, and striking characters. Unfortunately, they are also the 2D fighting games not many people played....
For 3D, really, from a pure technical depth perspective, Virtua Fighter has always been on top. But, I think the Tekken series did a fine job of getting some nice depth, yet some entertaining and outlandish styles to keep more casuals entertained.
Soul Calibur series, which I love, has fantastic art, music, and graphics, but I cannot raise it to either the VF or Tekkens series. The moves to quick and powerful to allow a skilled player to actually better a newbie-buttonmashing player. And there is constant imbalance of characters.
So yeah.... I'll stop. Fighting games are by far my favorite genre....

Shadow of the Colossus was really AWESOME!! The spiritual stuff in it was the only thing that I didn't really care for. Besides that, it's clean! No swearing and no nudity.(Unless you count a naked baby.) As far as violence goes, when you stab a Colossi black blood comes out, but it looks like black smoke.

Although I agree that Mortal Kombat should be on the poll, I'm afraid my vote will be cast elsewhere.
Did you know that the Dragon Ball Z Budokai fighting games have been around since the SNES days? They've come a long way... But, since there's no DBZ option on the poll, I'mma vote for Street Fighter.

You could add it, Ark. But I really don't care for that series. Also, that's what Other is for--all the games I forgot to list.

Super Smash Brothers and Soul Calibur are probably my two favourite fighting game series. Both benefit a lot for having pretty comprehensive quest/story modes. For simple fun and enjoyment, Mario games almost always deliver. For graphics and simply gorgeous fighting, Soul Calibur is great.
