2D Fighters

Since they're multi-platform, I thought this would be the best place to put this post.

What's your favourite? What about obscure-but-good ones?

Personally, I love Street Fighter III:3,



Guilty Gear XX# Reload,


and Last Blade 2,


although I'm still terrible at the latter, I want to get good enough at it to organise something at some point.

I loved samurai showdown 2 for the neogeo pocket, I've played the arcade version on XBLA and thought that was pretty decent too. I also I like marvel vs capcom for Dreamcast. You usually can't go wrong with either capcom or SNK.

I guess you could count the Smash Bros games as 2D? Unless we're talking proper sprite beat-em-ups, in which case, Street Fighter II Turbo wins each time.

i love guilty gear, for the complet randomness and one hell off a good soundtrack.

Have you seen Battle Fantasia? Its produced by the same guys that do Guilty Gear but one of the characters is a bunny rabbit dressed as a wizard ha!

bloody hell. no i havent but i have to see this now.

That game looks.. odd, but very good.

I'll settle for Smash Bros if there's no Street Fighter 2 Turbo or Marvel vs Capcom.
