I am pretty new at game coding (i've been interested for a while but could never finish anything) and i have an idea for a 2d fighting game, a bit like the original MK or street fighter.

hopefully some of your can give me some tips on what languages to learn what engines to use and maybe where i can find some usefull tutorials. thanks in advance.

The Fundamentals forum has a sticky called How to get started in game development. I suggest you read that first.
