I had a similiar experience, I loved my Fighting games way before I ever touched RPGs. I got a SNES just so I could play SFII (though I voted for GG, SF is still my favorite fighting game series. I haven't played 3rd Strike but it looks like I'll have to now) It was only later that a friend of mine loaned me Seiken Denetsu II and then Final Fantasy VI. See, everything happens for a reason;)
