Single-player fighting games worth exploring

[TimJames]

I have a backlog of PC games that I'm working through, although unlike most I am actually making progress! I would like to play a couple of fighting games because I haven't really touched them in a decade. I do not plan to really play against anyone except perhaps my wife in Soul Calibur 1 (sentimental value for her since she used to play with her cousin, go figure!). Are there any fighting games with particularly good single-player modes that I should check out? Otherwise, I will just look up the popular ones and play a few characters or whatever.

I don't own any modern consoles, so Gametap/emulators/PC fighters are about it for me.

Isn't Warzard basically designed as a one-player fighter?

Yep.
Soulcalibur III has a kickass mode called "Chronicles of the Sword" which combines the fighting mechanic with RTS. Then there's Mortal Kombat: Deception/Armageddon to consider. Konquest Mode and Chess/Puzzle/Motor Kombat are a ton of fun.

GGXX story mode?

VF4 Evo quest mode?

[Overworld]

Tobal wasn't bad.

[fallot]

Warzard, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and GGXX story modes are all nice.

[Hecatom]

GGAC+ and GGXX#Reload story and mission mode are good

[nGuman]

KOFXI has a little mission mode kind of thing where you either have to complete it by performing a certain ability or by winning the watch without doing kicks or etc.

This. Sugoroku mode has a nice replay value.

virtua fighter 4 evo is nice for 1 player. quest mode could take you a while.

[Hayama Akito]

Akatsuki Blitzkampf: Sugoroku Mode is awesome.

Also Metamoqester (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=_eigZPIN40w) is one of the best Single-Player fighting games (better than Warzard IMHO).

Tech Romancer is quite fun in single-player - the story and it's cut scenes change depending on how you play.

it's more about just watching endings though
