Having an introductory difficulty mode is the better method than designating the first segment of your game to being essentially worthless once you get a grip on the game's rules.

I can find matches in 5S much easier than 7, and the match pace is a little faster in my experience. 5S's meter system is also pretty cool. 7 could still end up being my favorite if I get to dig into it more though.

Honorable mentions:
Matrimelee, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Vampire Savior, Virtua Fighter 5, SvC Chaos.

Most want to try:
SoulCalibur II, Bloody Roar Extreme.
