Too lazy to look up and download a picture of it but I would say Evil Zone fits that description. A one button fighter and not many people that I ran into in life even heard of it

[Anonymous No.4671614]

This ones too obscure for its quality.

[Anonymous No.4671634]

i only ever saw one physical copy of this game, and it was the copy my grandma bought for the sega genesis she kept at her house for all her grandkids. i haven't ever heard anybody speak about this game. it was fun when i was 8.

Sailor Moon SuperS.
Great game actually.

Dude come on, everybody knew about it; it was supposed to be the Genesis' SF2 in the same way Streets of Rage 2 was its Final Fight. Which is dumb, because it already had a SF port.

I liked the elaborate high concept setting and characters, but the game ultimately sucked because of dumb controls design and a very discouraging difficulty curve.

BATTLE BEAST

[Anonymous No.4672015]

>>4671134
For SNES and Genesis.

Arguably the best "bad" fighting game ever. Fantastic concept, almost impenetrably complex controls, and 2 frame animations (plus some other questionable issues) make for an overall messy experience. The small (like 7 characters) roster doesn't help either.

But FUCK if it doesn't look nice. Atmosphere out the ass, great characters, just a fantastically FEELING game that's ruined by mediocre (but honestly still borderline playable) gameplay.

>>4672015
Also one of the gories fighting games ever. I think it might have been the first game with customizable Fatalities.

SNES Battle Tycoon
it also has the "career" mode not unlike One Must Fall 2097's where you can upgrade the stats of the fighter and keep fighting increasingly stronger enemies.

there was a lot of good obscure fighting games for neo geo

I played the shit out of the shareware version of this. I have no idea why I never bought the full version.

>>4671525
Not obscure at all but it was such an odd playing fighting game. The "Hold buttons and move the dpad for special moves" was such a shit mechanic. I think it might also hold a record for the number of ports it received: Arcade, 3DO, Amiga, MS-DOS, Sega Genesis, Sega Game Gear, Game Boy, SNES, Atari Jaguar CD, PlayStation, Sega 32X and Sega Saturn

>>4671636
Hell yes. I wish this would have made it as a port to at least one system. I loved playing it on MAME years ago.

>>4671968
Remember playing a demo of this as a kid and hating it

>>4672015
>>4672038
Weaponlord is still a popular fighting game for tourney play because the small roster is very balanced.

>>4672058
I had this on SNES and holy shit it sucked. One of the worst games I ever played and I'm glad I only spent like $5 on it as a clearance game.

[Anonymous No.4672085]

>>4672015
So sad and true. So much potential.
Weaponlord is probably the one retro game I want an awesome remake of the most.

It did inspire Soul Edge which is cool, but a real sequel or remake would be awesome.

There's a Cho Aniki fighting game for the sfc with floating characters.

Sure the game is shit but for being made entirely by a 14 year old on his own it's surely something most of us couldn't have achieved at that age.

>During development, Atari pushed the deadline for the game's completion further and further forward, to the point where they were giving away review copies mere months into development. Because the review copies did not contain a finished build of the game, it sparked negative publicity for Atari, prompting them to hold back Bertrand's wages for four months. As a result, when the game was due to be completed in December 1995, Bertrand gave Atari an incomplete build of the game, stating that he'd give them the finished product once he was given the back payments owed to him. Atari refused and released the unfinished build. He has since released his completed version into the public domain.[4] Atari released the game in 1996. Fight for Life was the only 3D fighting game to appear on the Jaguar console.

Pretty bad, but I liked to play it a few times.

That one should stay dead.
>>4671614
A cute one.
>>4671636
Need to play it.
>>4671954
Well it has a competitive audience.
>>4671968
What the hell is that?
>>4672015
Oh shit. Those fucking sever head combos though.
>>4672379
A fighting game I have not heard of? Okay now I have to look even if it ends up bad.
>>4672412
Good stuff. I wish I could emulate the arcade board its on.
>>4672617
Oh god. I need to make my D&D friends play it.

Pic related is my favourite. I played the sequel(Eins) recently and its not as bad as people say. Its actually pretty good despite bad design choices but not as good as its predecessor and the main character is busted.

Yeah, SF2 CE (or Special Champion Edition on the genesis) came out 3 months before Eternal Champions
on the genesis.

If it came out way before that teh same year, then would it make sense, also genny SF2 came out later due to development issues, was gonna be developed by a different company, one that developed the worst megaman games like MMII (GB), Wily Wars and X3, but then capcom canned and rushed a port of SF2 Turbo from the SNES as best as they could.

aaaaaaaaaaaand there was Mortal Kombat on Genesis which was the tits for 1993, whereas genesis had nothing good in faitans terms during 92.

Zero Divide and Ergheiz are decent

And yeah, I love Cosmic Carnage. It's kind of clunky and basic but has these great big sprites and stuff.

it's very pretty but Breakers Revenge was always the NEO GEO AES game I love.

[Anonymous No.4673469]

The Psychic Force series was... Interesting.

While not odd, Bloody Roar and Mutant Academy are relatively obscure, or at least underapprecited in my opinion.

Tengai Makyou on pc engine arcade cd rom

prequel to Kabuki Klash. Has some fantastic animations but the load times are rough, only 8 playable characters, and the colors lack shading so everything is flat. Fatal Fury Special looks quite a bit nicer
