Asuka 120% limited and its "hack" limit over,while the ps1 game has been already mentioned, I tend to prefer the Saturn versions better sprites and more responsive controls.
I don't know if you could consider the snk last blade or Bakumatsu Roman games obscure, but I love the slower more methodical style of of play(every hit count).
Advanced Variable Geo 2, I love a cheesy over the top anime fighter once in a while.

We lost a lot back then, The Battle Master duology were much better than the shitty Battle Assault version.

The first games I ever played were fighting games, and I've developed a strong tolerance—and passion—for this genre. Recently, I've been playing the Steam versions of Blade Strangers, Chaos Code, Koihime Enbu, and Nitroplus Blasterz, along with Fighters Impact, a PS1 title.

I enjoyed all of them, but Blade Strangers stood out for its suitability for short play sessions and its delightfully bizarre cast, one of the most unique I’ve encountered. Meanwhile, Fighters Impact captivated me with its outstanding soundtrack.

I have a backlog filled with fighting games that I’m eager to explore. It’s the one genre that never fails to keep me engaged.

Rival Schools/Project Justice is my absolute favorite fighting game series, but I'm not sure it counts as obscure anymore. I hope the PS1 school sim game gets translated someday.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom is my favorite Versus series game, and I hope it gets ported out of Wii jail.

One that hasn't been mentioned is Capcom's Tech Romancer for Dreamcast. Badly needs a port as well.

Even the updated versions of the third game was released officially in US, Arcana Heart 2(and his update Suggoi!) isn't well known for many fighting game enthusiasts.

The PS2 version of Suggoi! was critically harded due for the various amounts of slowdowns during the matches, but is one of the console's treasures. The game is also one of my favourites for the group of Arcade conversions to PS2.

Your opinion must be praised.

I like Gouketsuji Ichizoku Matrimelee. Atlus authorized the defunct Noise Factory to produce one of best games of the series. The only worst of the game is fully the PS2 version. Like Real Bout Fatal Fury Special converted to PS1 as Real Bout Fatal Fury Special: Dominated Mind, Bonnou Kaihou it's razoable also, with few no good changes and the lack of agressive difficulty in larger levels upward to 5. And it's great to see back Angela and Kinta, who don't existis in the original Arcade version(the MVS version have Poochy again as a separate character from the kid and the four secret characters coming from Rage of The Dragons).

And I not forgot: it's bizarre and challengning the addition of a comical version of Bobby Ologun as the final boss, using his MMA atire(since at the time of the PS2 version production, he was a K1 fighter).
