I mean out of all of them, including World Heroes, K.O.F., Samurai ShoDown, Fatal Fury, Last Blade, Art Of Fighting, King Of The Monsters even. Any fighter game by SNK that has had more than one installment.

This is a hard one, because I love SNK's fighters. If I must choose (can I choose 2 at least?), the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series are my favorites. To be honest, SS and AOF are ones I enjoy as well!

KOF series of course!!! Almost different gameplay every year from 94-2000, depth storyline, many rivals character (Kyo-Iori, Kyo-Benimaru, Yashiro-Iori, Terry-Ryo etc), cool poses and great soundtrack!!

It oughtn't to count, since it's by ADK, but World Heroes is it for me. In part because, it's the only series where I got to play all of them in the arcade. Year after year I always found an MVS with the next installment, and I love the bright, colouful characters, how they're based of real people, the music etc. It's the one NG series I got to experience, only that damn arcade took away World Heroes Perfect far too soon.

I'd also have to go with the KOF series. I always liked that you could choose 3 characters instead of going 2 rounds with only 1.

The Sam Showdown and the Last Blade series are my favorites. I just like the "horrible" atmosphere

The Fatal Fury series has been too inconsistent to be considered my favorite and the same for Sam Sho. Remember FF didn't get good until FF Special. Although I do give it credit for reinventing itself countless times to keep things fresh.

I would have to say KOF series for quality in each installment. No version is crap and each is worth owning. It would be nice if they revamped the thing a bit more, but that's a minor complaint.

The King of Fighters because when it originally came out in 94 thats the game that made me buy the system!! Also the Last Blade series is pretty goog too.

Tie: Samurai Spirits, and Gekka no Kenshi (Last Blade). I simply could never choose one better than the other!

It's very hard to choose one only...
Surely KOF, cuz it's a cross over, but the first game i've bought on home cart was Art Of Fighting, wich i'd really enjoyed. I've waited to the death to play RBS at home, and i'm still amazed by MOTW. Samurai series is awesome, with a great "atmos-fear", but...

KOF is just too hot!

I would have to say Fatal Fury, since that was the first regular Neo fighter I got into, and also Samurai ShoDown (first is still the best, for me) because it got me hooked on fighters where you get to use weapons. I am not saying I dislike WH, AOF, KOF, LB, or any of the others, it is just that those two series will always come to mind first when I think of Neo fighters.

As for WH being by ADK, I think we can overlook that.

I have not seen WH making significant appearances elsewhere. I kind of wish they had made an Aggressors Of Dark Kombat 2/Gan Gan 2, as even though playing the comp may not be very entertaining, two player mode is a lot of fun.

My favorite series is the King of fighters...

I think King of Fighters '95 pulled me in...but the whole storyline has been getting weak I think ever since they stopped talking about the Iroci bloodline...KOF 2K had a better one than 99 though...

The Mark of the Wolves has got a pretty good storyline going with it. It had made me think about the Fatal Fury series...

The Last Blade series is also one of my favorites as well.

I want a new AoF game! But I like all the open-fisted ones pretty much equally so I guess I'd have to say the KoF series.
