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.

    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.

      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.

          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.

    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.

      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.

    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).

    Eternal Champions. Such a cool concept, a great cast of characters, and great graphics for the time. Spent so many hours playing it with my brothers growing up. Xavier was the fucking best.

    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.

    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.

    Classic it may not be, but every few years I fire up a copy of Oni, turn up my playlist of mid 90s mega-hits, and lay some smackdown on some terrorists.

    Basically it’s the spatial exploration of a first person shooter with the fighting dynamics of something like Virtua Fighter.
