Combos, timing and duels: the fighting game is an art of mastery, from 2D versus to 3D arenas. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"A monumental Street Fighter Alpha 3 with unique stylistic depth. Precise controls, three varied ism systems and a cult cast. A Capcom 2D versus peak to savor."
"SF2 Turbo/Super SF2/Super SF2 Turbo compilation with excellent emulation. The three pillars of the SF2 era gathered together. Exceptional content value for saga fans. The original SF2 Turbo remains formidably fun. An absolute reference."
"A Matching Service edition of Super Street Fighter II X faithful to the arcade cult. Precise controls, iconic cast and refined balance. Essential for golden age fans."
"Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is the crossover's return after 10 years absence. Ultra-fast 3v3 battles between Marvel heroes and Capcom characters, spectacular aerial gameplay. Explosive homage and one of the best MvC."
"The conversion of Konami's TMNT arcade on NES, European version. Co-op beat'em up with the four turtles. Less than the arcade but genuinely fun. One of the best licensed games on the console."
"Street Fighter Alpha 2 improves on its predecessor with new characters, moves and custom combos. Richer and more balanced 2D versus fighting gameplay. One of the finest PS1 ports in the Alpha series, faithful to the arcade. A must for competitive 2D Street Fighter fans on PS1."
"Virtua Fighter 4 modernises Sega's 3D saga on PS2. Technical combat, generous solo modes and a delightful quest mode. Drier than Tekken, but rare depth."
"Vibrant Virtual-On where mechs glide and clash at breakneck speed. The twin stick controls are legendary, the arenas are spacious and the dogfight feel is unique. A peak of mecha versus."
"Reload version of Guilty Gear X2 with balancing adjustments and improvements. Same gameplay richness as X2 with slightly adjusted roster. Recommended version for players seeking the best Guilty Gear X2 experience with the most polished balancing."
"Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution refines the entry further. Two new characters, retuned balance and generous content. Likely the absolute series peak on PS2."
