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.

    Some day I'd like to make a fighting game where the only buttons are jump, airdash, and fireball. I feel like there's something there.

      That would basically be a seccond person shooter at that point would it not? Either way I am running money matches down at the local once it drops.

        I was thinking something like Mega Man. So third person.

        A second person shooter would technically be like an FPS, but you see through the eyes of whoever you're pointing the gun at.

          Oh, I guess it is. I just had over the shoulder fixed in my brain as third person.

          There have been a few mega man fighters over the years. You mess with any of those?
