Looking for fourth to sixth generation console games, and old arcade and X68000 games. Saturn is out though.

Currently have and enjoy Smash Remix and Fighting Vipers 2.

      I’ll never forget the day when the movie theater I used to work at got a brand new Soul Calibur arcade cabinet. Me and my coworkers put more money into that game than the customers ever did.

      Voldo was the shit.

        Voldo was great. Total nightmare fuel. I think there’s a strong cast of characters. Yoshimitsu was one of my favourites to play for the sword-pogo stick move.

    While it also has a PC release, it was on PS2 as well if you are locked to Android emulation. Melty Blood is a total classic. I am garbage at it, but it is fantastic for couch gaming with friends.

    You really should get Saturn emulation running, because as far as fighting games went, the sheer variety of games on the Saturn were STUNNING.

      Fighters Megamix is a classic. I love the weird old games with big rosters and a cheerful vibe. I don’t think any other game lets you pit a Daytona car against a giant mascot sculpture.

      A bunch of Street Fighter games

      SF Zero 3 (called Alpha 3 in the West) is my favorite. Zero 2’ (Alpha 2 Gold in the West) is also very good.

      SF Collection has a great port of Super Turbo along with the aforementioned Zero 2’.

      Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter and X-Men vs. Street Fighter are also well worth a play.

    Capcom vs SNK 2 ate more of my fighting game hours than any other game, with the possible exception of SF2/Turbo/Super combined. It had everything I could ever want at the time.

    WWE 2007 smackdown vs raw! My custom character was as tall and buff as can be, had red skin, had the skill set of ray mysterio and loved hell in the cell matches.

    Killer Instinct, arcade and SNES Killer Instinct 2 (arcade) which was kind of ported as Killer Instinct Gold (N64)

    Those are my top tier without a doubt.

    Bloody Roar : Primal Fury was absolutely excellent as well.

    I love most of these but one I don’t think anyone knows about is Bloody Roar on PS1. Typical fighter but each character could also transform into a different beast mode with a new move set. Tons of fun although I don’t think it’s aged well at all.

      Oh I remember it had good music. And there was a bat lady and a chameleon guy.

        That was BR2. BR1 was kinda distinct because instead of the bat lady it had a heavyset middle-aged warthog woman - most anime-styled fighting games only include female characters for T&A (like the bat lady).

          As soon as Valve starts distributing it here in Australia I’m all over it! That or until Ayn release their Loki series.

          The only big distributors here actually selling it are kind of sketchy about warranties, and it’s also crazy overpriced.

    Getting the mainstream ones out of the way first: 3s, Garou MotW, ST/2X, Tekken 3 (PS1), UMK3, MvC2, CvS2, SC2, KOF '98, Vampire Savior

    Got it? Good. But have you played:
    Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Strange Mortal Kombat-looking game with three Jackie Chans, but surprisingly accessible
    Fighter’s History Dynamite/Karnov’s Revenge: Karnovember is coming! A 1994 fighting game that held up very well
    King of Fighters '95: A prime example of SNK’s old school style
    Fighter’s Destiny and Toy Fighter: 3D fighters where certain knockdowns earn you points, and first to 5 or 7 points wins
    Street Fighter EX2 Plus: Arika’s quirky take on Street Fighter with plenty of unique characters and mechanics
    Slap Happy Rhythm Busters: Fast polygonal 2D fighter with simple controls and supers that make a rhythm action game happen
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters SNES: The good Turtles fighting game. Fun mechanics to learn and break.

    Edit: Added videos for the games that didn’t have links to a wiki

    PowerStone 2. 4-player full-freedom game. Think Super Smash meets WWE games, but with pulp adventure theming (including a kinda stereotypical T-Hawk-style indigenous dude) and a vaguely Tezuka retro-anime art style. That and Virtual On Oratio Tangram (which is like if Armored Core was a fighting game) were reasons to own a Dreamcast for innovative fighting games.

    Dunno when/how a game is classified a classic, but since PS2 is from the 6th gen, guess I have some suggestions! =D
    Ultimate Ninja 5 is pretty cool, I think. Don’t like the anime much, but gameplay loop still feels pretty good nowadays. Only released on PAL and NTSC-J regions, though.
    Dragon Ball - Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is also pretty fun, coming from someone that also doesn’t like the series it comes from.
    I guess Godzilla: Unleashed could count as fighting game too? If so, I recommend it too.
