Yep. Tekken definitely has been a favorite. I'm partial to Armor King, although he was changed from the Heihachi/King character that he was in Tekken 2 where I mastered him. There are very few games where you can specifically counter certain moves...like you never attempt a Frankensteiner against Paul, or you will get Powerbombed against a seasoned player. I had to switch to Heihachi in Tekken 3, and I've not played Tekken Tag enough to adapt to the new Armor King completely. Oh, well.
DOA2, jiggling breasts aside, had the most reflex jarring counter system I've played. The more you played your opponent and figured out their style, the more cerebral the game became because they probably learned to anticipate when to counter your moves.
No one mentioned Capcom vs. SNK! That game has plenty of complexities, counters, and other amusing aspects. Seriously, everyone should be afraid of the comboable Level 3 Shin-Sho-Ryu-Ken that Ryu can toss out. There's almost no reason to use his other supers because of it.
Err...I'm guessing that Marvel vs. Capcom won't be as popular, but there's just something great about whomping someone with Captain America. Then you can do the cheesiest lines upon beating them ("Thumbs up, soldier!"; "Freedom prevails!"), and it's almost worse than being beaten by a tiny Servbot. Almost.
Finally, for a party...nothing beats Power Stone 2. Some might argue that Smash Brother's Melee is more amusing, but seriously...have you played Power Stone 2!? That can be madness!
