... I've just never liked SSB games anywhere near as much as many Nintendo fans. I didn't play fighting games much at all when I was younger; a few games of SFII or MK games here and there, but not much. I didn't really start playing fighting games until the early '00s, when I started playing them in emulation... I got SSB in 2000 too, but I never liked it as much as things like SFII. Sorry. I like traditional fighting games much more... SSB is fun, yes, but not the greatest.
2d fighting games are better than 3d, but I do find 3d fighting games entertaining too. They don't usually have the strategic depth of 2d fighting games, so they aren't as hard or technical (VF perhaps excepted, but I don't like VF very much), but they can be entertaining anyway. Most recently, I've been playing Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate. Fun, simple game... I'm only 15 costumes away from unlocking all of the costumes in the game. Not too many left now. :) (Once you get them all you unlock the DOA3 DLC bonus costumes, without having to get that stuff via the now-dead XBLA system or something... it's an incentive to make me want to actually finish getting all the costumes...)
As far as 2d fighting games go my overall favorite is still the Japanese release of The Last Blade 2, with Street Fighter III: Third Strike probably coming in second. I'm not sure what would be in third... KOF '02 maybe? And SFIV should be somewhere in the list, and SSFII too...
I did finally get a real Guilty Gear game, GGX2#Reload for the Xbox. Oddly that version seems much more common around here than the PS2 version... haven't played it enough to really get good at it though, and it plays quite differently from a Capcom or SNK fighter. Pretty good game even so though. :)
