    You can try emulators like a CPS2 emulator to play games like X-Men vs Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom. Get a CPS3 emulator to play the Street Fighter 3 games.

    Also try MUGEN, a 2D open source fighting engine where you can download and use hundreds of ripped and original levels and characters.

    I think using the words "fighter" and "good" in the same sentence is just wrong ;)

    There's a dated port of Samurai Spirits 2 for the PC, it plays like the Arcade version and is very fun.

    I use MAME to play SF3 Alpha and Killer Instinct 1 & 2.
    Also UMK3 those were a handfull of my favorite arcade games and now I can play them in there full arcade bliss without loss of quarters.

    I like MK Trilogy to on my SNES emulator but the loss of characters is worth it for the better graphics and gameplay in UMK3.

    Also I love marvel vs capcom 2 but I dont think I have that one for some reason... but i didnt play that in arcade I always played it on my dreamcast.

    Im a good PC fighter, I fight with my computer all the time to get it to work right. But thats only at work where the systems have lots of crap. At home my laptop is supa fast!

    But seriously...I hear Joe Calzaghe is a good PC fighter, he can really beat one to a pulp :D

    Where I'm working now I remember a port of the King of Fighters XI on sale, it's supposedly a PC port of the arcade version of the SNK brawler.

    Have you heard about Neogeo, it basically is a arcade simulator.

    EDIT: Okay. Just had a read after writing this. Neogeo is a arcade platform, NeorageX is the emulator.
    You can find a rom pack include an emulator on torrent (If it violate the form rules then tell me i will deleted this post)

    Another suggestions: Any PC port of the Guilty Gear series. From what I've heard almost no other fighting game out there comes close to the balance achieved in the series.

    Guilty Gear was always a good game IMO. I agree with it having the best balance out of all fighting games. It's ashame and didn't get as much hype as other fighting games.

    But MUGEN is pretty fun to play on PC as mentioned earlier. I haven't used it in a while but now I want to.

    I have the network patch for Melty Blood and play it online sometimes. Real good non-button bashing game.

    MAME is great for arcade fighters. Check out the Darkstalker and King of Fighters series; they are like Street Fighter but prettier.
