This is far and away my favorite one-on-one fighting game. While technique and strategy are indeed required if you want to get really good at it, the primary focus is the fast and furious action. There's no need to burn the midnight oil studying move lists or practicing combos; you can jump right into the fray and reap immediate enjoyment. The controls are perfect; the game feels fast and fresh, distinct from the many 16-bit Street Fighter II clones. The soundtrack is great, very energetic and exciting, and two-player mode is a blast.
I know many people will write this game off because it's about high-school girls, but it probably isn't what you expect. It's not "naughty"; the character designs emphasize wackiness and distinctiveness over cuteness or sexiness, and all of the girls have neat techniques at their disposal. Even if you're not into fighting games (I'm not a huge fan of them, myself), you should give this one a try.
These aren't your usual high-maintenance high-school girls.
My favorite is Karina, the biology student whose explosive pet frog helps her in battle.
Titular Asuka is Karina's main rival. I bet that if the two teamed up, they could take down Ryu and Ken, no problem.
