In your opinion,what is the best 2-D fighter ever?
I have TONS of favorites. Mostly all of them by Capcom.
But,if anything,I'd say,IN MY OPINION,Darkstalkers owns!
Of course,this game first introduced me to Jonathan Talbain. As well as the rest of the supernatural cast.
I first played Darkstalkers when I was like 12 or 13. I remember first playing DS1 at Block Party(when it was around) in the arcade. Darkstalkers was the only good game worth checking out. And I remember that's all I'd want to spend my money on.
And almost always,I wouldn't touch anyone else but Talbain(or Gallon in Japan),but as time wore on and I got to play it on the Playstation,I used more characters. Demitri becoming my 2nd favorite Darkstalker.
And I remember reading an article on EGM and GamePro(when magazines used to be cool)that DS3 had been announced for a 1997 release. And when it was ported over to the Playstation the following year,I was blown away. The supers were by far the coolest asset of the game,with the new addition of BB Hood. I play this game for quite a while everyday.
And sadly,DS has faded into Capcom's history books. I doubt it'll ever come back. But who knows,eh? Maybe a cheap GBA port or something of the first game.
It was too cool a series.
And,IMO,the Guilty Gear series has nothing on Darkstalkers!

Since this has become a favorite everything thread now:
Characters: Vampire Savior (particularly Jedah, Lilith, BB, and Felicia)
Story: What story!?
Engine: MvC2 (yeah, I know... say what you will, but Marvel's barely-controlled chaos makes for some of the most exciting matches out there to watch or be a part of)
Old school: KoF '98, Samurai Spirits/Shodown 2 and SSF2X/Turbo
SNK game: KoF '98 (though '02 isn't far behind)
Capcom game: Alpha 3 (So many great characters, so many options, so many abusable glitches) :)
Non-Capcom/SNK: Killer Instinct 1 (brain-dead and totally unplayable competitively, but a ton of mindless fun and nice to look at to boot)
Least Favorite: tie between CvS1 and CvS2. Two wretched games that need to die a miserable death. Painfully slow and boring, waste of so many great characters... here's hoping Playmore/SNK can succeed where Capcom failed.
Yes, I ignored Guilty Gear XX. While I do enjoy it quite a bit, I think it's way too early in the game's lifespan to start putting it on pedestals (plus I haven't been able to find anyone to play it with on a regular basis). Time will tell...

KOF 96-98 (we need the boss team again!!!)
From Capcom:
Street Fighter Alpha 2 (alpha 3 a close second)
Jojo's bizarre adventure (i really loved this game at one time a lot of things to do in it)
Capcom vs Snk 2
Non CapcomorSnk:
Guilty Gear X,XX (man i really enjoy this games!!!!!!!! /me a GGXX fanboy!! 
Adv. Variable Geo 2 (i really like yuka and chiho)
