Everyone talks about Street Fighter or Tekken, but let's hear it for the weirder, unique, underrated, or forgotten fighting games out there.
My favorite is a Gundam game. Federation Vs. Zeon and it's sequel, Gundam vs Zeta Gundam, made by Capcom. The original games in the Gundam Versus franchise of games. imo the series was at it's best when it was handled by Capcom.
Battle Arena Toshinden on PS1.
Crummy 3dish weapons fighter with your stock characters but a fun soundtrack and soundbites I still say out loud to myself more often than I should admit
Fond memories of that game. I had it as the pack-in title with my og playstation. It was so stiff to play!
Thunder Ring
Aurora Revolution
Rattlesnake!
