Top 5 2D Fighting Games

We love to play the 2D fighting games in every platforms. It is the most popular video game genre from 90's to modern days is because we played many great 2D fighting games like Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat are the pioneer of the fighting game genre that really inspires many video game developers to make their own kinds of fighting games like King of Fighters, Guilty Gear, Fatal Fury, and many more fighting games out there. 

2D fighting games are very known for combo moves, techniques fighting style, using special abilities, and finishing moves that makes the whole fighting games so memorable.

I'm going to make my 5 favourite 2D fighting games of all time, so here is "Top 5 2D Fighting Games." 

5 - The King of Fighters 99

If you like the Neo Geo fighting games like Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, then The King of Fighters 99 is definitely for you to play because SNK made the best fighting games for Neo Geo system. 

The King of Fighters 99 is amazing game featuring memorable characters, such as Terry, Mai, Kyo, Iori, and many others fighting rosters.

This game features 4 characters in teams, selectable fighting styles, and performing special moves with power gauge gives more variations of the fighting gameplay.

The gameplay control feels very fluid for combo moves and special moves works very well done and it has stunning 2D graphics with spectacular animation, nice visual effects, and great character details that fits really perfect for Neo Geo games.

4 - Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!  

I love Mortal Kombat series because it is one of the bloodiest and most badass fighting game series in classic days.

Mortal Kombat had becoming so popular in 90's along with fighting fans and critics is due to high impact violence that caught attention to gamers.  

My favourite Mortal Kombat game goes to Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the arcade version because it has more characters including returning favourites and better gameplay system.

It has awesome characters like Liu Kang, Kitana, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade, and many memorable characters in the game.

The gameplay has perfect controls, great moves, and many fatalities moves that keeps the game so bloody entertaining to watch.

3 - Killer Instinct 

In 1994, Rareware brought the amazing fighting game that blows our mind with Ultra 64 arcade system, so that is Killer Instinct for the original arcade.

Killer Instinct is just one insane fighting game that created crazy amount of combo moves known as ULTRA COMBO!!!!! is the sickest combo hits in gaming history.

It has superb characters like Cinder, Jago, Black Orchid, Chief Thunder, Sabrewolf, Spinal, and others.

The gameplay has straightforward controls with special moves, fast paced combo mechanics, knocking opponent off the stage, and no mercy moves is the great example of 2D fighting based game.

I have to say the SNES version is one of the best arcade ports ever made, even the first game was meant to be made for N64, but still the SNES version is just straight in perfect arcade port.

2 - Marvel vs Capcom 2

       

I'm a huge fan of Marvel vs Capcom series that caught so much attention to my eye. 

Back in Dreamcast days, it had tons of fantastic 2D fighting games for SEGA Dreamcast.

I say Marvel vs Capcom 2 is the superb crossover fighting game by Capcom because I like to play as favourite Marvel and Capcom characters in fighting games, such as Ryu, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, Chun-Li, Mega-Man, and Rogue is just sounds cool to have in this game. 

It has 3 characters in team, unique fighting style of gameplay, well made animated graphics, and Jazzy soundtrack that makes Marvel vs Capcom 2 the best game for SEGA Dreamcast.

1 - Super Smash Bros Brawl

  

Oh yes, Nintendo has one of the most masterpiece fighting game ever made.

Super Smash Bros Brawl is the best 2D fighting games on Nintendo Wii and it is my favourite fighting game in history because it has many playable roster like Mario, Link, Samus Aran, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and of course it does share of the third parties characters like Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake is just made my day.

This game has simple gameplay control makes easier to make basic and special attack, using weapons and items, addicting matches like brawl mode and special mode are perfect for multiplayer, single player adventures, so many unlockable stuff, and creating your own fighting stages that made this game so epic.

Of course this game is also played with Gamecube controller is another fantastic addition to this game for those who are Nintendo console owners really enjoys playing previous game like Super Smash Bros Melee.
