Yeah, you can see a few of these games showing up even though technically they were made before 2000, but I'm counting them in mainly because they got to see a re-release later, so they count.
I'm sorry I couldn't add more fighting games like Blazeblue, KOF, Guilty Gear, Mortal Kombat and a few other mainly because there isn't a enough room on the poll to do so.
I've played all the games mentioned inside the poll and outside the poll. I actually love quite a few of the games I've listed on the poll and I actually despise one game from the poll.
So let's shoot for the ugly duckling, I hate street fighter. I really, really hate Street Fighter, all the games. I could go into further reasons as to why I dislike the franchise but I could write a book about it so I'll just name the things that pop into my head and you make use of it.
Not good for new players
Abnormally cheap AI (I know this counts for a lot of other fighting games, but Street Fighter's AI makes me fucking angry).
It's easier to play with a fightstick than it is with a gamepad (Yes, regular specials and combo's are pretty simple to pull off. However whenever you feel like you needed the Ultra combo to save your ass, the gamepad has officially become a gamble. I've never had any issue with any other game using specials then with Street Fighter 2-4. It's not like learning to use a fightstick for the first time is very effective either).
The pro's online who use fightsticks make you want to go buy one (Why this sucks? Getting a good fightstick isn't cheap. you can buy a crapy-ass one on say Amazon and if you're willing to take the dive and mod the little thing with Sanwa and Seimitsu parts you can have yourself an excellent fightstick, if not go buy one issued by capcom for about $130+). Yes I own a fightstick, I play a lot of games using the fightstick and Street Fighter 4 is supposed to be played with one. Basically feeling like if you were the casual gamer who got fucked over because you fighting game enthusiast friends told you to buy the game and play but never told you to buy a fightstick, you're going to be pissed off and wish you never wasted your cash.
Oh wait, that's exactly what happened to me when I was younger! Now I own the game again because it was on sale on Steam and decided to compare why I hated it as a kid and realized it's the fucking gamepad. It's not like the xbox 360 controller has a bad design, in fact the games I've played mentioned in this poll actually work well with a gamepad... but SF2&4. It's not like I'm not using just one controller, I've tried 4 different controllers just to make sure.
Basically the reason why I hate it is the fact that the expectation of becoming an excellent player in Street Fighter is owning a gamepad and devoting countless hours into the game. I'm sorry I can't do it. I can never do it. I wish I could get a refund for the first $60 I spent on the damn game and the 7.50 i spent on buying it on Steam. The game fills me with rage. The only good thing about it is that the community of players aren't really that bad. No matter what though, if you play a fighting game long enough, you can tell the difference between someone using a fightstick and someone using a gamepad.
I apologize for my inner dislike for Street Fighter, I can't recomend the game to people because of how unfriendly it is towards users of a gamepad. It's not like super terrible like keyboard controls for Darksouls, but It's enough to realize that the player against you seems to have more flexibility in what moves they can do giving them a higher advantage. I felt terrible beating people who were using a gamepad. I went around asking different people "are you using a fightstick or gamepad, a majority of whom I asked were using gamepads, but the people who would be on the same level or just plain kick my ass were using fightsticks. Not bad controls, but I swear there's a fucking advantage point, I can feel it playing on the both controllers.
Now that I'm done with my spite towards Street Fighter, I would like to say I like every other game on the poll. It's a tie between Skull Girls, Darkstalkers 3 and MVC2. Airblock is a god send, large fun combo's and being whacky and weird. Love it and pretty welcoming to newer players (well to me anyway) and gamepad friendly!
-For those who enjoy Street Fighter, keep playing, I'm not saying to stop and hate it like myself. This is simply me taking the time to realize something about the franchise and it's my own personal opinion. I've never hated anyone on the multiplayer because the community of players have always been pretty nice. I'm just saying what floats in my brain.

What a depressing sight.
