Forget not these great Dreamcast imports, if you can get ahold of them:

Capcom vs. SNK 2
Vampire Chronicle
Super Street Fighter 2X
Guilty Gear X


And of course, we must not forget the ultimate 2D system of power, the Saturn! And its library of cream-in-your-jeans 2D beauty!

Street Fighter Collection
Vampire Savior
Night Warriors
Pocket Fighter
Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3
X-Men - Children of the Atom
X-Men vs. Street Fighter
Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter

OH YEAH!

You and your undying love for the Sega Saturn. And if you also want to talk about import games there is King of Fighters 2000 and 2001 on Dreamcast and KOF2000 on Japanese PS2.

SEGA SATTAN SHIYOO!!

KOF ex: Neo blood for the GBA is really very bad. totally chopped animation and it effects gameplay with disasterous results.

It was not bad for a portable game but there was room for improvement. The GBA has a pathetic amount of RAM ( 256k ) and there is only so much animation that can be in the Ram buffer at once.
I actually reviewed that here.

Look take some time and actually think about what you are writing about next time you try to post a comment. You might try actually reading the page before you start going off about your problem. If you can't do that then fuck off.

What what?

Where is JoJo's Bizarre Adventures? That has to get on the list, easily.

Garou MOTW (definately not worth all the hype and comparisions to SF3:3, but good nonetheless.)

But yeah. JoJo is great, DC moreso than the PS1, but even that is great, and hugely different to most.

Don't quite know how to edit, so sorry about posting twice.

I have a good collection, I feel, but I can't really think of what else to add to it. I was wondering if I could get some suggestions?

1. Street Fighter
2. Street Fighter Alpha 3
3. Street Fighter 2
4. Street Fighter 2X
5. Super Street Fighter 2X
6. Street Fighter 3: Double Impact
7. Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
8. Marvel Vs Capcom
9. Marvel Vs Capcom 2
10. Capcom Vs SNK
11. Capcom Vs SNK 2
12. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
13. Guilty Gear X
14. Vampire Chronicles
15. King of Fighters 99 Dream Match
16. King of Fighters 2002
17. Garou: Mark of the Wolves
18. Fatal Fury 2
19. Mortal Kombat 2
20. Mortal Kombat Trilogy
21. Mortal Kombat 4
22. Super Gem Fighter Minimix
23. X-Men COTA
24. X-Men Vs Street Fighter
25. Street Fighter EX2 Plus Alpha
26. Project Justice: Rival Schools 2
27. Virtual On 2
28. Virtua Fighter 2
29. Virtua Fighter 3tb
30. Tech Romancer
31. Fighting Vipers 2
32. Fighter’s Megamix
33. Powerstone 1
34. Powerstone 2
35. Dead or Alive 2 Limited Edition
36. Soul Edge
37. Soul Calibur
38. Super Smash Brothers
39. Fighter’s Destiny
40. Wu Tang: Taste the Pain

Not all of them, but I'm at a loss as to what else I have. I have a Saturn, PSX, N64 (like there are any decent real fighting games on it) Dreamcast, and a good quality PC with MAME.

No PS2, because frankly, I can't be bothered with it.

And I much prefer 2D to 3D, obviously, but since I can't find/think of any more 2D fighters, I've started on 3D ones.

nice try at a thinly veiled excuse to show off your "amazing" collection. where are your samurai shodowns, art of fightings, and last blades?

what about psx ps1

marvel super heroes

and ps2

capcom evolution

how about this, make the list of 2d fighters (or 2d Fighters VS.) for every system then youll be the shizz.!? Also the guy who says no good fighters for N64....BS theres Killer instinct Gold and MK4 which was a decent port all with no load times.. and the best games are from back in da day. Hint to the others mentioning last blade.
