obscure fighting game favs

[Doomstruck]

If you've been active on fightcade you might have come across a game that you love, but there's maybe 2 people in there if you're lucky and none of them are active. For me this is mostly toy fighter, since I've been able to get a couple games in my other favs, but toy fighter I have to actively bring people in and that's a huge gamble. Do you guys have any fighting game white whales like that? (fight whales if you will)

fightcade

[ciro64]

Galaxy Fight. I love Roomi!

 

[Ikagura]

this?

 

[DRAKKO]

Asuka 120% Final: Burning Fest. Final for the PS1, i main Caty Wild a grappeler/wrestler from Florida, very fun character and easy to do stupid combos.

 

[kuroninneko]

Evil Zone on Playstation

 

[Varyag]

Touhou 12.3 Hisoutensoku, usually just referred to as HTS. It was the first fighting game I actually made an effort to get good at and play against my friends.

 

[stealthRUSH]

Cyberbots, Rage of the Dragons, Waku Waku 7, NeoGeo Battle Coliseum and Tech Romancer.
Not on Fightcade- Groove on Fight, Astra Superstar, Touryuu Densetsu: Elan Doree, and Destrega.

YES I love hinokakera, I haven't done any real fights outside of a few matches with my sister but I love labbing combos in it

out of those my absolute favs are waku waku 7 and groove on fight, though I've been trying to learn rage of the dragons, I just get stomped so hard in it lol

Briefly had a small circle online, with some Kaillera-compatible MAME forks, to play Rage of the Dragons and Matrimelee. I don't think anything on the NeoGeo is all that obscure but that was the only time I found competition for those games, at least.

I've played a few rounds of rage of the dragons with people, but it's a bit rare, and I was lucky enough to play matrimelee with people a few times, one in a mystery wheel tournament. I really love those games

 

[Stingy Perry]

My PS1 era guilty pleasure.

Oh, I just remembered. For a little while, Daraku Tenshi had a moment in the servers I haunted. That's a lot more obscure, good lord. Surprisingly fun game, though?

I learned about it from my sister playing it with friends, haven't had a chance to play anyone in it myself though. Really like what I've played though

I have been wanting to try melty blood or its origin or whatever for a while now. I really miss the bloody roar franchise. I hope enjoying bloody roar doesn't make me ...

 

[Cu-Neo]

Gundam The Battle Master, Under Night, The Rumble Fish 1 and 2, Star Gladiator, galaxy fight, Red earth and Cyberbots Fullmetal Madness

 

[Metal_Etemon]

Bloody Roar and Psychic Force are my go-to obscure fighters. The Spawn game for dreamcast too, though that's closer to an arena fighter with weapons etc

Hey, arena fighters still count in my book! Love the rare opportunities I get to play power stone online.

 

[antii]

UNDERNIGHT ??

 

[tropicalavera]

Rakugakids - solely because I love the cast and the soundtrack. It's got a little spice to it - but it's not something I'd try to rally people into playing.
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom on the other hand...hey - she ain't exactly 'obscure' but she was also sorta DOA and it's such a shame.

Spoiler

Because it's genuinenly better than UMvC3.

 

[RetroLaw]

Advanced Variable Geo.

Even though the second one is the best one imo, I have a soft spot for the snes version.

And Asura Busters of fuc...g course.

I wish I could find someone on steam to play Million Arthur.

Golden Axe the Duel.

Groove on fight.

And that heroic fantasy tag game which was ported on ps3 and which name I always forget.

I never got to try rabbit, I think I saw the saturn port on cdr.

In that case I'd add Anarchy Reigns to that list. I'm still holding out for a re-release on modern systems for that gem.

 

[χKai]

I've been trying to find someone who could keep up with me on Ehrgeiz for ages so I can master the interrupts.

 

[Ikagura]

Melty Blood is no longer obscure since the remake but I do like the first version and its first update Act Cadenza.
