This list is going to be so fraudulent given how much time I've actually spent on two of the titles despite liking them, but here goes:

1. Super Smash Bros. Melee
2. Vampire Saviour
3. Guilty Gear Xrd
4. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
(I'm going to get lynched I know)
5. Third Strike: Street Fighter III

Putting Xrd above Marvel after only a few months. Son, I am disappoint.

It'd be hard to put that list in order with nostalgia and whatnot, but:

1. CVS2
2. MVC2
3. 3S
4. P4AU
5. ST

...that might be in order, actually.

KI is going to have drivatars lol

they analyze your play and i assume you can play against the "shadows" of pros

this kind of has interesting implications for single player games

name of next character is Hisako

Not really. I bought every shadow pack in vanilla Marvel and while they were programmed with Better AI and very particular team strategies based on pros and such it was still a blowout that got Dull. I smoked em all just running Vanilla Storm/Ryu/Sentinel.

well... the AI in KI is already pretty damn challenging

I've been waitin on something like this for fighting games. Players will find things the developers may not have put in the original AI, and it'd be cool to have a way to play against those tactics without it always being an actual player.

I agree but you have to take franchise fanbase moving to other games and the lack of new things into account. Doing BB in 3D is ok but if you go back to CT roster and try to sell it again just by saying it's now 3D it's not going to be enough.

You mean what exactly they're doing with Xrd, an older IP with an older audience?

I still don't understand your reasoning. At best, I can only agree with the notion of them continuing with Xrd because they invested too much of their resources in producing it.

5 fighting games I have the most fun with?

1) Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
2) Marvel vs Capcom 2
3) Super Smash Bros. Melee
4) Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R
5) Capcom vs SNK 2

Top3 were easy for me. Spots 4 and 5 were really difficult. I really wanted to add games like 3S, Melty, Vampire Savior, and UNIEL.

Alpha 2 and 3 are honorable mentions too. I know people really hate on Alpha 3, but I think some (but not all) are just bandwagoning that 2 is the best just because of not putting the time in 3 and word of mouth. The game's actually really cool, especially with the guard bar.

Most fun?

1. P4AU
2. BBCP
3. SC5
4. Touhou Hisoutensoku
5. DoA5

I'd almost add SF4 (It's only the last month or so i've been getting decent enough that i can consider it fun) and Tekken Tag2/Rev (I love playing it but so far i haven't been able to convince anyone else i know to give it a try, so i can't play/talk about it in person.. ).

They aren't just transforming GG into GG in 3D. I think it's more complicated than that. It's my personal opinion but here you go since you asked for an explanation.

The goal with Xrd isn't just to gather the old fanbase, it's to change well enough the game to create a new one without alienating the old fans. Arc is working with anime trends, they always did even if they say they don't take notice. When they created Guilty Gear it was during a golden era of original anime and they registered to it without even thinking about it (think Bebop, Evangelion, Trigun). When they started doing BlazBlue in 2006/2007, the anime world was influenced a lot by amateur works (dojins adapted to anime, more positive characters, school stories all the time) and they rushed inside this to make BB because Mori is probably a bit of an otaku. As a result BlazBlue is just an hyper deluxe dojin without any consistency and that's why I don't like it and why it was so successful.
There will be a time when BlazBlue will be out of fashion however, will not please any new players like GG did. Not because it's 2D, because it's out of the trend and transforming it into 3D will not change this. Tekken has the same problem with the nineties attitude of the series where electro music/colors/non-sense is the rule (bears! robotic ninjas! bruce lee! grandpa moving by doing farts!) and it won't necesseraly please a new audience. That's the reason Tekken 7 is trying something new with characters like Lucky Chloe or Shaheen while avoiding characters like Yoshimitsu or Kuma. They may come in the game later but at the moment they are not. There's a reason for that. Maybe people don't undestand what are bears and Yoshimitsu referring to?

So back to Arc. Today you're seing a lot of new anime series that appeals a lot to the first period anime fans I mentioned with more adult stories being very successful, classic themes adapted to a new generation (first that are coming to my mind are Attack on Titan, Psycho Pass, Terror in Resonance) all of them that can be watched even if you are not an anime guy. It's not quite as original/crude as before and not as amateur or "anime at school", it's an in-between, somewhere between being positive but serious. Xrd is positionning itself right inside it by smoothing his designs and characters and tone, trying to please old fans with classic designs and the promise it's as before, but also adding characters like Ramlethal, Elphelt or Leo who seems popular among new players of the series... And BlazBlue fans too from what I saw.
Simply put Xrd is not just "GG in 3D", it's GG trying to adapt to a new period where people have new expectations. GGX and GGXX, the base of all the other games, came out 13 to 15 years ago. Rebooting GG was a smart move as everyone asked for it. But they are using GG to do something else than what is what made for. As a result the game is risky as it has to find a balance.

In my opinion it didn't find that balance but that's a whole other topic.

Edit: wrote a wall of text again sorry guys. -_-

it's still fun these days but the absence of a sidestep means movement isn't as fun as 3 and beyond
