I'm a pretty big 2D fighter fan. Not super hardcore enough to memorize everything and join tournements and such, but it's my favorite genre and I have played at least a little bit of almost every major 2D fighter and been playing lots of the Street Fighter series since the original (1, not 2) was in the arcades.
But to be honest, I usually get beat by most of the hardcore/the-arcade-is-my-home/well-practiced players in the arcades.
So I'd like to ask the other 2D fighter gurus what games (ones on the DC) and characters I should focus on practicing with to stand a better chance in the arcades.
Right now I play mostly with Ken from SF and Terry Bogard is usually my go-to-guy for SNK games. Are they good ones to use in most of the Capcom, SNK, and crossover games? Or are there other character I should practice with? A key factor is moves that are similar for that character (or similar stlye characters) across a number of games.
I wish I had time to perfect my skills in all characters, but I don't
