I remember having a blast with Barbarian (Death Sword), Yier Ar Kung Fu, Budokan, Street Smart and International Karate in the 80s

In the arcades in the 90s I liked playing or watching MK 1, 2 & 3, World Heroes 2, Street Fighter 2, Samurai Showdown 1, Virtua Fighter 1&2, Tekken 2&3, Primal Rage, Killer Instinct, Last Blade 2

Also on PC there were some fun games like Body Blows, Time Slaughter, Prey for Death, Cyber Gladiators, Battle Beast, One Must Fall 2097 + ports and roms of arcade games

In the 2000s, in arcades I played KOF 2001, SF3: third strike, Tekken 4, Guilty Gear XX Slash
On Dreamcast I had Soulcalibour 1, Virtua Fighter 3tb, Jojo Bizarre Adventure, Third Strike
Though favourites became Garou and Rage of the Dragons via emulation

In the 2010s SF4, Blazblue Calamity Trigger, Arcana Heart 3, Skullgirls, Battle Fantasia.
Also Breakers Revenge and Vampire Savior via emulation

Garou : Mark of the wolves

Always loved the Soundtrack and the sprite art is absolute peak SNK-masterpiece till to this day .

Bloody Roar 1

This was my debut 3D-fighting game on the Ps1 and still and an awesome banger from its masterclass rocking Soundtrack to its relentless gameplay . While other prefer 2 or 3 , i still think that BR1 is the best one with its bloody & aggressive gameplay while the combos and action just rocks harder than the sequels overall . I mastered that game that the highest difficulty is for me still childsplay . Even Tekken cant top that underrated fighter .

Dead or Alive 3

I got it as my first Xbox game and i was instantly hooked with its visuals , the its aesthetics, cultured Waifus and especially the gameplay ... honestly , the gameplay is addictive and truly the better alternative to Tekken . And yes , the DOA Waifus are peak eye-candy too .

Samurai Shodown 3

I think its one of the best and smoothest Samshos of all . Another favourite SNK-banger.

SVC chaos

Had this on Xbox but sadly lost it when i gave it one friend . Still hunting the Xbox copy which is for me the best console port of it . While others consider that a Kusoge/Bad game i actually liked this game much better that CvS . Rough to get into till you understand its combo system and break this game into when you get into full speed with it . Love it even with flaws .

Too many to choose but if I had to take one I'd probably say this:

Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code

Anime fighters are pretty sick, though I’ve only dabbled in arcana heart and blazblue, and a bit of chaos code. Phantom breaker is also cool.

Blazblue is on sale actually, I bought central fiction in hopes of hosting a tourney with friends.

I prefer the term Air Dasher but you're right. I need to play AH and CC again.

Welp, I thought that BlazBlue was a bit too "weebish"/Persona-esque compared to Guilty Gear but since Strive has lost that "edge" to me I'd go for BB simply because I love 2D sprite art.

dead or alive 5 is one of my favorites

 

[DreamCPS]

Street Fighter forever. Any version, any iteration, except for SF 1. The rest is pure gold, imo.

 

[Badseed Badseed]

Tongue of the Fatman (Slaughter Sport on Genesis)

Just look at all that action

But without SF1, there would be no SF at all...

Tekken and Soul Edge.

I need to get into Soul Edge/Blade and Calibur.

But without SF1, there would be no SF at all...

There are competent fan remakes of it.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Under Night In-Birth, without a doubt.

It's a good one but it didn't feel like Melty Blood...

Kinda like how BlazBlue was made because they didn't have the rights at that point of history.

Live and let die! FIGHT!


We'll never see another great crossover game such as this one (and MvC2 obviously).

MUGEN is our best friend.

I still long for a Guilty Gear X BlazBlue or a Darkstalkers vs Guilty Gear...

I'm seeing your pfp and I understand your pain.

Nowadays it's more like Capcom would put Morrigan in crossover games like "yeah yeah we remember DarkStalkers, stop asking us."

I love Alpha era spritework (even above SFIII's).
