I'm a huge fan of fighting games. I am pretty good at Soul Calibur 2, not so much at Tekken 4, and I love Super Smash Bros. So any suggestions what I should check out next? Is your recc. a fast paced game, or more about timing like Tekken?

Well, some people think Marvel vs Capcom is a good series, though not me so much (I'm a Soul Calibur/Tekken Man). Bushido Blade 1 and 2 are both good though different from each other in subtle ways -- you should look into those.

Dead or Alive. Man, those games are ultra fun.

I also second the Soul Calibur recomendation.

I'm a pretty big fan of SNK vs. Capcom 2 and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (is 3 out on console now ?). SNK is the more old-school of the two games, but Marvel is more entertaining.

Oh I think I played this one before. Yeah, it is really really good. Too bad you can hardly ever find it any more

if you havent played it yet go buy a modified psone (or get an emulator) and download Thrill kill it is an unfinished fighter that was scrapped for being to violent/sadistic/sexual. It would probably fit right in today, but it featured new innovations like 4 character combat and a replacement of the health system with a kill bar, where after you land X damage you kill the next person with one hit or perform a semi fatality on them.
