Guilty Gear is downright hilarious excellent characters and absurd moves. First time I played it I actually got a rush from the speed and the graphics that were raging on the screen, one of my faves!
If you're more into the old school 2d check out KOF 00/01, more old school arcade than that is hard to find. Far less graphic extremities than GG but a S%^#load of characters, cool moves, excellent gameplay and that superb arcade feel IMO. The game is far from perfect and if you're not into hardcore old school you probably should stay away from it but for some clean cut old school fun give it a shot.(it makes me wanna get the vf hori-stick just to bust out those old school street fighterish fireball moves
