With the shot of Tekken 3, why is there a Sonic icon on the lower right corner?

OT

Forgotten gems:

Tekken Tag Tournament
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Killer Instinct (original 1994 version)
Fighters Megamix
Street Fighter 2 World Warrior (first one)
Capcom vs SNK 2
King of Fighters 98
Edit - Eternal Champions

I'd add a few underrated gems like Darkstalkers, Xmen vs SF, Cyberbots and Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves.

Tekken tag and kof 98 were the best in their days

Thanks for pointing that out, will fix.
Additionally, I totally agree with your forgotten games.
We debated for ages trying to streamline this list, but there are just too many incredible fighting games out there!

How can Alpha 3 and CvS 2 not make the list lol, two of the best fighting games ever made.

[dedicatedtogamers]

Surprisingly good list. Sad there was no mention of Gullty Gear Xrd, Skullgirls, or SF Alpha. And old Mortal Kombat shouldn't be on the list: it's a pretty mediocre fighter by any standards. New MK is awesome though.

Would've also loved to see Garou, Power Stone, and Last Blade 2.

Interesting list

Thank you.

Too late to change article title to. "15 of the best fighting games ever made".. .

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Terrible list. Super Smash Bros. Melee is the worst Smash Bros game.

[dedicatedtogamers]

By worst do you mean second-best? SSB4 (WiiU) is the best but Melee comes close.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

No. Melee does not even hold a candle to 4.

[Kallisti]

Where's Def Jam: Fight for NY? That's easily a top 10 fighting game of all time

[Unlimax]

Bloody roar + Tekken 3 > the whole list

[ObviousGoldfish]

Didn't sf4 get cancelled after all?

[sullynathan]

so much street fighter and mortalk kombat fanboyism.
