Super Smash Brothers is more brawler than fighting. Capcom/SNK will never die in my eyes as the "King of Fighters" <~~no pun intended.

EDIT: If you are referring to the Ryu, Ken, Akuma theme... they are all students of Hadou Shotokan..... there is a deep story behind a lot of the characters that Capcom and SNK create.... so just looking at them and saying they are clones and have the same moves isn't enough.

I'm not sure about story etc, but gameplay wise CVS2 is pretty damn good.

I'm a big fan of 3rd strike and KOF as well. MVC2 is pretty fun as well. Then there's VF4, and Tekken 5.

Wow so many fighting games. I think SF2 defined the fighting genre to be honest.
