Maybe only obscure in the USA since it didn't release here, but I used to play this a lot when I was first getting into emulation around 2000/2001.
DBZ was huge in America at that time and it felt so cool to play this "lost" dbz game from the SNES on my computer!

aquapazza i guess

I don't think Heritage for the Future is *that* obscure these days at least among fighting game enthusiasts but I don't know anyone who knows of it and isn't super into retro fighting games
Mighty Morphin Power Ranges The Fighting Edition is one of my favorite fighting games of all time and I'm sad more people haven't heard of it

Really inventive meter mechanic combined with great animations and a fun character roster

This is why it's a masterpiece:

I find this game magnificent even for non-Jojo fans.

Nobody's mentioned Dong Dong Never Die yet.
A game I badly want to play once I get my computer fixed. ?

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

god same, gotta try to get people to hop on duckstation for that

Same, like I said I still have to master the interrupts.
If you wanted a challenge, we could play Soul Cal 2 or Melee. ?

I love Akatsuki Blitzkampf, It has a really cool style and aesthetic, I main Murakumo in Ausf. Achse. I'm still waiting for that pc port.
Also Akatsuki is my main in UnderNight

I haven't touched fightcade since that one day I got absolutely BODIED on 3rd Strike. Those guys are cool but I don't think I'll ever get to that level.
Anyway, as far lesser known fighting games I like, first there's Advanced V.G. 2! I started that series as a joke but I ended up having a lot of fun with the second game.
Second, there's Gundam Wing Endless Duel for the SNES. It is *actually* the best fighting game on the system.

Can I interest any of you in a spot of Joy Mech Fight?

(SEIZURE WARNING AT 0:29! SKIP TO 0:34!)

Yes please
Underrated AF game and excellent choice ?

I haven't really encountered much toxicity on fightcade, but when I have it's always been in SF3. The smaller lobbies tend to be more chill when you can get games in em, and going in with friends helps mitigate a lot of the tilting

Fightcade is awesome, most of the people on there are too pro to care about talking shit.

I came across someone playing Zangief that I couldn't land a hit on, and after about 3 games of getting perfected I just gave up the game for awhile.

Not out of rage, more out of self-disappointment ?

I see people had already mentioned Under Night/Melty Blood (arcsys fighting games never miss )

....so I'll recommend Fighters Destiny for the N64.

Unique point system, fun stages, and once you get the hang of it It's very hard to put down in my opinion.

Even if i wasn't a hardcore fan of any of these animes (i think i have also only seen Dragon Ball Z at the time) I remember having a lot of fun playing this game on the PS2 with my school friends. It was kinda like a platform fighter but with a weird health-point system. I don't now if is actually that good but i have a little bit of fondness for it :3

Kettou Beast Wars for gameboy color. Great wee game this, despite the lack of buttons there's a surprising level of depth to the fighting. Lovely spritework too, a real treat if you're into transformers or NGPC fighters

second this, I played this game and had a great time with the small bit I played, was surprised to learn it's basically the spiritual predecessor to toy fighter since I was already in on that one

any game with a good witch design gets an A+ in my book, and Remi is an AMAZING design

Looks like Rule 63 Jotaro Kujo.

I had a lot of fun with Psychic Force 2 and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for the PS1. Psychic Force 2 has more content than Psychic Force 2012.
