Skullgirls is a great 2d, but if you want some actual great 2D fighters try KoF 2000, or Last Blade 2. Garou: Mark of the wolves is also coming to ps4 later so be sure look into that game as well.

Play Guilty gear my friend on PS2, PS3, PSP, PSvita and PS4!

Eh, KoF is not really my bag. I'm a Guilty Gear player mainly, but I feel like if I played SG first I'd have an easier time.

@The Spine Hey buddy,pal, amigo... lets play Guilty gear and forgot all about skull girls, what do you say? B-)

Persona 4 Arena is what got me into 2D. Helped that I knew the source material at the time, ArcSys games tend to be decent from what I've played of them want to try out Revelator eventually and A BlazBlue game

I'm always up to play Revelator whenever. I wish I could have played Persona, but unfortunately picked S. Labrys and dropped the game. I suggest Revelator, but I'm biased. I've played all three though.

To get into 2D fighters, SF is the best overall for your first 2D fighter due to its well-roundedness and relative-straightforwardness. P4A is cool if you like Persona and is a bit more casual friendly. KOF is a decent choice also but can be a bit more challenging to play than something like SFIV or SFV. Skullgirls does have a good tutorial though.

I actually find KOFXIV far more accessible and easier to play than SSIVAE, though that might be due to the rush button. I couldn't get into SSIVAE at all, despite liking Sakura and Makoto

KOFXIV would be comparable with SFV. SFIV is comparable with KOFXIII. The sequels are easier overall.
