So what was your first fighting game?

Killer Instinct Gold for the N64. Hard as fuck back then. Mained Spinal and Kim but couldn't do all those fancy combos.
 
SF2 was my first played but I didn't have it. Uh thinking back I guess Primal Rage was my first owned. Blech. Marvel was the first game I tried to compete with other players that were not my cousins.
 
Street Fighter II Turbo on the SNES was my first fighting game. I also remember that I could never get past Ryu, not even on my main man "Gully". Granted, I didn't know what a charge character was. I only picked because of that bitchin' upside-down kick! [I also had Mortal Kombat 1-3 and Killer Instinct] However, I didn't play fighters too much because of my full-blown addiction to Super Mario World.

However, the fighting game that got me into fighting games was a little gem I'm sure none of you ever heard of: Bloody Roar II: The New Breed. After that, I begged my parents for any fighting game hey could afford. [Ended up with Soul Blade, Tekken 3, Ehrgeiz, Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style, X-Men: Mutant Academy, DBZ Ultimate Battle 22, and both Bushido Blades in my PS1 collection as well.]

Good times. . .
 
Street fighter 2 of course... great game but the first fighter I really got into was Virtua fighter for the Sega Saturn lol Jacky owns I have 5 and still beat my friends with the Jackster : )
 
I don't remember I think it was Street Fighter II for the SNES. I'm" surprised people even remember Killer Instinct for the N64... Goodness I'm" old.
 
The first I ever played was street fighter 2. But I did not own it and I despised it. The first one I owned was Mortal Kombat and I loved that but I wasn't that good at it. The first one I ever bothered to learn anything about to the point of obsession was Soul Calibur 2. I made a friend quit the game forever when I perfect matched him three times in a row. Those were good times, both for me and for Taki. I still have a crisp, crystal clear memory of that first round of that first match. Right down to the little "cells" the old TV was made out of. I used to focus too much playing that game though. Now I wear glasses. Sigh.
 
I was playing Street Fighter 2 when i was 6 or something. Than Mortal Combat. Than did not played any fighting games until im 17 years old. I didn't like fighting games until i played Melty Blood in my PC. That game made me wonder, could there be fighting games that great, and i find SC3.
I have played Tekken 6, Virtua Fighter 5, King of Fighters on ps2, Blazblue, Dead or Alive 4 and SC3 and 4. But Mellty Blood and SC3 are my favorites.
 
First played (or at least experienced) was probably Tekken 3, from an old arcade machine that I was too young to really know much about fighting games.

First owned was either Super Smash Bros. or, if you don't consider that a fighting game, Tekken 2, oddly enough. Never played it much, though. If you're extremely loose about your definition of a fighting game, you could count some old N64 wrestling games that were bought for me from a pawn shop long ago (WrestleMania 2000 and No Mercy, namely).

The first fighting game I actually enjoyed and was interested enough to play through thoroughly was probably Soul Calibur II.
 
I don't remember what's the first fighting game I played, but the first fighting game I played seriously was KOF series.
 
Mortal Kombat on the SNES was the first fighter I ever played when I was little. The MK series was, for the longest time my favorite childhood fighter, up til Deadly Alliance...Which disappointed me on every aspect.

First game I ever faced people outside of my friends and took seriously...Super Smash Bros. Melee. Even in-house rules in SSB(n64), we turned off the items(had to unlock that luxury by playing 200 matches, lol) back then, so no harm foul when I learned main competitive Melee turned it off too. In terms of traditional fighters however, then it goes to SC2. The amount of time I put into SSB, SSBM, SC1, and SC2 was INSANE. Considering I usually had no one to really play against most of the time, never stopped me from playing. Loved the time spent on them.

Looking back...I really wish I had grown up a Playstation fan or even gotten Dreamcast when they first came out. I missed out on a lot clinging to the big N for as long as I did.
