The first game was a one player beat ‘em up (but made in FM2nd too, weirdly enough). Has some gross NSFW stuff | |
| Famicom Fighters | McJimmy | Unknown (need reliable info!) | 2 | Windows | Download (zip file) | N/A | Indie | Freeware | N/A | N/A | 2022/10/23 update | Original game netcode | Online | N/A | 1v1 2D fighter with Famicom/NES characters made by a western dev. Has two versions: MUGEN and Ikemen Go builds. The Ikemen Go build has delay based netplay mode. Dangerously close to a generic MUGEN type of game but it has a big cult status so I made an exception | |
| Famicom Hinshitai | ファミコン瀕死隊 | Umigami | 2007 (01/05) | 2 | Windows | Download (zip file) | N/A | Doujin | Freeware | N/A | N/A | 2014/12/30 version | Parsec | Archive.org backup | N/A | 2D Fighter Maker 95 game. 1v1 2D fighter with Famicom/NES characters. I made the same “exception” on the database as Famicom Fighters. Game was -not- saved by Archive.org but it's moderately easy to find elsewhere |
| Family Battle: Tag Arena | FAMILY BATTLE タッグアリーナ | Nekogameteacher | 2022 (08/05) | 4 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Doujin | Commercial | N/A | N/A | Early access version | Original game netcode? | Steam entry | N/A | 4 players 3D 2v2 tag-team arena fighter. Has been on early access since 2022 and I think the game is dead by now so it’s here and not in “In development” |

Game download was saved by Archive.org (also Vysethedetermined2 made a backup on Mediafire) |
| Fantasy Strike | Sirlin Games | 2019 (07/25) | 2 | Windows (Steam), Macintosh (Steam), Linux (Steam), PlayStation 4, Switch | Download (Steam, PSN, eShop) | N/A | Indie | Freeware | Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch, untested) | N/A | 2021 Gamepad hotfix | Original game netcode | Online | Mizuumi | 1v1 2.5D F2P fighter created by the legendary David Sirlin. Gameplay created with a “very simple to play, hard to master” mindset, with no special motion inputs. Rollback netcode. It's an adquired taste imho, some matches can be cool, others very boring. Has an active community | |
| Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash | 天外魔境 真伝 (Tengai Makyou Shinden) | Racdym / Hudson | 1995 (06/20) | 2 | Arcade (Neogeo MVS) | Cartridge (202Mbit) | Neogeo AES, Neogeo CD | Retail | Commercial | MAME / FBNeo (Arcade, Neogeo CD) | N/A | N/A | Fightcade | Archive.org backup | GameFAQs | 1v1 2D weapon based fighter, part of Tengai Makyou… in fact is the only game of the franchise that has been released outside Japan. Basically a Samurai Shodown clone, but a cute and decent one. Excluding AES/NGCD this has been never ported to anything. This japanese guide is also good |
| Fatal Art | Bonehouse | 2016 (12/24) | 2 | Windows | Download (zip file) | N/A | Indie | Freeware | N/A | Fatal Art Reload | 1.4 | Original game netcode? / Parsec | Dev Facebook | N/A | MUGEN game. 1v1 2D fighter with simple yet charming character designs (almost like matchmans). Dev abandoned the project for some years in order to make a new game, “Knockout!” (see K). Has online, don’t know if it’s rollback or not. Also had two demos | |
| Fatal Art Reload | 2024 (01/20) | 2 | Windows | Download (zip file) | N/A | Indie | Freeware | N/A | N/A | 1.3.3.1 | Original game netcode | Online | N/A | Sequel/updated released way later. Jumped to Ikemen GO and added two new characters, rebalance and new movements for all characters. Dev is still working on “Knockout!” at the same time. Has rollback netcode (I haven’t tested it but Knockout rollback was great) | ||

Excellent sequel and the game that cemented the popularity of SNK as a fighting game developer with Art of Fighting. After Fatal Fury Special no one plays this competitively BUT I strongly recommend to play the Genesis port because it has some fun exclusive stuff |
| Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory | 餓狼伝説 3 遥かなる闘い (Garou Densetsu 3: Harukanaru Tatakai) | SNK | 1995 (03/27) | 2 | Arcade (Neogeo MVS) | Cartridge (266Mbit) | Neogeo AES, Neogeo CD, Saturn, Windows, PS2, Switch, Xbox One, Android, iOS | Retail | Commercial | MAME / FBNeo (Arcade), Mednafen (Saturn), PCSX2 (PS2), Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch) | N/A | N/A | Fightcade (Arcade, SNES, Genesis), RetroArch (Beetle Saturn, rollback), Mednafen (delay) for Saturn | Online | SuperCombo | Fourth entry. Visually stunning game yet it's a very broken experience, especially with Terry. The game development was drastically affected by the Great Hanshin earthquake in 1995. Still a fun game. Franchise continues in Real Bout Fatal Fury |
| Fatal Fury Special | 餓狼伝説SPECIAL (Garou Densetsu SPECIAL) | SNK | 1993 (09/16) | 2 | Arcade (Neogeo MVS) | Cartridge (150Mbit) | Neogeo AES, FM Towns, GG, Neogeo CD, SNES, Sega CD, PC Engine Arcade CD-ROM², X68000, PS2, Xbox 360, Switch, Xbox One, Android, iOS | Retail | Commercial | MAME / FBNeo (Arcade), Tsugaru (FM Towns), Genesis Plus GX or Ares (GG, Sega CD, SNES), Mednafen (PCE), MAME, XM6 or px68k-libretro for RetroArch (X68000), PCSX2 (PS2), Xenia (Xbox 360), Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch) | N/A | N/A | Fightcade (Arcade, SNES) | Online | SuperCombo | Third entry. Update to 2 that added playable bosses, Duck King, Tung Fu Rue, Geese Howard and Ryo Sakazaki (secret char). Big scene in Japan and a moderately active scene in Fightcade. GG version is pretty cool. EU SNES version is a 16MBit game, and four characters were cut (!!) |
| Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves | 餓狼伝説 City of the Wolves (Garou Densetsu: City of the Wolves) | SNK | 2025 (04/24) | 2 | Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S | Download, Blu Ray (PS4 PS5, Xbox Series X/S) | N/A | Retail | Commercial | N/A | N/A | N/A | Original game netcode | Online | Dream Cancel | New Fatal Fury after 26 years. Direct sequel to Garou: MOTW. A lot of guest characters, including fucking Ronaldo and DJ Fetuccini because arab oil money. So far I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Pretty good netplay (finally) but terrible UI and unstable matchmaking |
| Fatal Fury: First Contact | 餓狼伝説 ファーストコンタクト (Garou Densetsu First Contact) | SNK / Yumekobo | 1999 (04/30) | 2 | Neogeo Pocket Color | Cartridge | Switch and Steam on Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 | Retail | Commercial | Ares | N/A | N/A | Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 using Parsec / Steam Remote | Archive.org backup | GameFAQs | Exclusive version of Fatal Fury for the NGPC. A mix of Real Bout gameplay, but very stripped down. No public NGPC emulator can do 2 players link mode, but that mode works in Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 for Steam or Switch, playable online via Parsec / Steam Remote |
| Fatal Fury: King of Fighters | 餓狼伝説 (Garou Densetsu) | SNK | 1991 (11/26) | 2 | Arcade (Neogeo MVS) | Cartridge (55Mbit) | Neogeo AES, Neogeo CD, Gen, X68000, SNES, PS2, Wii, PSP, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, Windows (Project EGG), Android, iOS | Retail | Commercial | MAME / FBNeo (Arcade), BlastEm (Genesis), MAME, XM6 or px68k-libretro for RetroArch (X68000), Ares (SNES), PCSX2 (PS2), Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch) | N/A | N/A | Fightcade (Arcade, SNES, Genesis) | Online | SuperCombo | First entry of this legendary franchise. Japan and US versions has different inputs for special moves. You can fight a PVP match from the start, but after one match, any time player 2 jumps in, you both have to beat the CPU opponent in order to do the next player match |
| Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition | 餓狼伝説WILD AMBITION (Garou Densetsu WILD AMBITION) | JAPAN VISTEC / SNK | 1999 (01/28) | 2 | Arcade (Hyper Neogeo 64) | Cartridge | PS1 | Retail | Commercial | MAME | Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition (PS1 port) | Rev. A? | Retrobuda (Arkadyzja), Parsec | Archive.org backup | @wiki (in japanese) | Ninth entry. The 3D debut of Fatal Fury (basically an answer to Street Fighter EX). HNG64 emulation is finally decent after MAME 0.281. Geese is hidden (highlight Billy and press Right) and Li Xiangfei is unlockable via a NVRAM or save state file. Rollback via Arkadyzja |
| Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition (PS1 port) | 餓狼伝説WILD AMBITION (Garou Densetsu WILD AMBITION) | SNK | 1999 (06/24) | 2 | PlayStation | CD | PS3, PSP, PSV | Retail | Commercial | Duckstation / MednafenPS1 | N/A | N/A | Duckstation Netplay / Arkadyzja | Online | GameFAQs | Port that added Duck King and Mr. Karate but sadly is a serious downgrade from the HNG64 in terms of gameplay, visuals and audio, and received a negative reception at that time. At least you can play this version with rollback. It's on PS3/PSP/PSV via PSN |
| Fatal Impact | Nico Galis | 1994 (??/??) | 2 | Amiga | Floppy Disk | N/A | Indie | Commercial | WinUAE | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | N/A | 1v1 2D fighter, supposedly a very early Indie effort made in Spain by a sole developer in 1994. If that’s true it's pretty amazing. Stiff, kinda ugly and slow, but a respectable work for Amiga, also the music slaps. It was never finished, so is more like a Beta, and it's technically abandonware | |
| Fatal/Fake | Light’s | 2005 (08/05) | 2 | Windows | CD | N/A | Doujin | Commercial | N/A | Crucis Fatal+Fake | 1.13 | Parsec | Archive.org backup | Avalon (in japanese) | 1v1 3D fighter based on “Fate/stay night”. Heavily compared to Hinokakera at that time. Has a sequel “Crucis Fatal+Fake” with different mechanics. Disable “Software Vertex Processing”, select “Render Texture” to small and “Shadows” as circle or it will not run on Win 10/11. Cool game | |
| Fate/sword dance | Rapid Fire | 2005 (03/21) | 2 | Windows | CD | N/A | Doujin | Commercial | N/A | N/A | v1.202 | Parsec | Archive.org backup | N/A | 1v1 2D fighter and fangame of “Fate/stay night”. Latest patch was saved by Archive.org but sadly not the demo (the full game is not that hard to find though). Fun poverty game. Rapid Fire later transformed into “NRF” and developed the amazing “BigBang Beat” series | |
| Fate/tiger colosseum | フェイト/タイガーころしあむ | Cavia / TYPE-MOON / Capcom | 2007 (09/13) | 4 | PlayStation Portable | UMD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | PPSSPP | Fate/tiger colosseum Upper | N/A | PPSSPP | Archive.org backup | N/A | 4 players 3D arena fighter with TYPE-MOON characters in SD/Chibi style |

| Fate/Unlimited Codes | Eighting / Cavia / TYPE-MOON / Capcom | 2008 (06/11) | 2 | Arcade (Namco System 246) | DVD | PS2 | Retail | Commercial | PCSX2X6 (Arcade), PCSX2 (PS2) | Fate/Unlimited Codes (PSP port) | N/A | Parsec | Archive.org backup | Mizuumi | 1v1 3D fighter based on “Fate/stay night”. Infamous of how execution-intensive the gameplay is (hope you like Tiger Knees motions). Has a niche community in Japan. Not to be confused with “Crucis Fatal+Fake”. PS2 port is arcade perfect. Arcade version runs fine on the fork PCSX2X6 | |
| Fate/Unlimited Codes (PSP port) | Eighting / Cavia / TYPE-MOON / Capcom | 2009 (06/18) | 2 | PlayStation Portable | UMD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | PPSSPP | N/A | N/A | PPSSPP | Archive.org backup | Mizuumi | The PSP port is a total update: motions were simplified or changed entirely, stages are larger, every character had critical changes and there’s a new mechanic (Reflect Dash). Runs at 30FPS too which is a pity. No one plays this version from a competitive side. Has a US release though | |
| FateAxis | フェイトアクシス | T-Riam / Rokusuijo | 2002 (10/18) | 2 | Windows | Download (zip file) | N/A | Doujin | Freeware | N/A | FateAxis AC | 1.6 | Parsec | Archive.org backup | N/A | First entry. F2P 1v1 3D weapon based fighter. Original IP (no relation with the TYPE-MOON Fate franchise). Imagine Toshinden but as an airdasher. Made a shock in the doujin scene at that time. Basically impossible to run on an OS past Win XP |
| FateAxis -OMEGA Edition- | フェイトアクシス -OMEGA Edition- | T-Riam / Rokusuijo | 2004 (03/06) | 2 | Windows | Download (zip file) | N/A | Doujin | Freeware | N/A | FateAxis AC | Ver1.6d2 | Parsec | Archive.org backup | N/A | Second entry. The first update |
| FateAxis 2 -The Fragment- | フェイトアクシス2 -The Fragment- | Rokusuijo | 2015 (??/??) | 2 | Windows | Download (zip file) | N/A | Doujin | Freeware | N/A | FateAxis AC | 10.64 | Parsec | Online | Official wiki (in japanese) | Fourth entry, but the first true sequel. Has an active community in Japan. An arcade version called “FateAxis AC” is the latest entry but it's only available in one game center in Osaka, so this is the final version for most mortals. No online. A pain in the ass to run in non-ENG/JPN Windows |
| FateAxis Enlargement Edition | フェイトアクシス Enlargement Edition | T-Riam / Rokusuijo | 2005 (05/02) | 2 | Windows | CD | N/A | Doujin | Commercial | N/A | FateAxis AC | N/A | Parsec | Archive.org backup | N/A | Third entry. The only one who was a commercial release on CD, and was the final version for nine years |
| Fēng Shén Bǎng (MS-DOS original version) | 封神榜 | Dysin Information | 1994 (02/20) | 2 | MS-DOS | Floppy Disk | N/A | Retail | Commercial | DOSBox-X | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | N/A | Alsk known as “Violent Myth”. 1v1 2D fighter with a chinese setting. Gameplay clearly inspired in Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden, even including the split-screen effect but no flying. It's mega jank, no combos and you cannot press 2 buttons at the same time (classic old DOS games issue) |
| Fēng Shén Bǎng (NES bootleg version) | 封神榜 | Waixing | 1996 (??/??) | 2 | Nintendo Entertainment System | Cartridge | N/A | Indie | Commercial | Mesen | N/A | N/A | Fightcade (rollback), Mednafen / Mesen / Retroarch (delay) | N/A | N/A | Also known in some markets as “Myth Struggle”. 1v1 2D fighter with a chinese setting. This has a fun dev story: it's even more similar to Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden and if the sprites of the official DOS game were original ones this time they redrawn over the DBZ sprites lol |
| Fēngyún Tiānxià: Sanguo Pian | 風雲天下 三國篇 | Softstar | 1995 (??/??) | 2 | MS-DOS | Floppy Disk | N/A | Retail | Commercial | DOSBox-X | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | SP Moves (in chinese) | Also known as “The Three Kingdoms Fighting” yet this was never officially used by the devs. 1v1 2D fighter with a Three Kingdoms setting. Definitely not on the same level of Sango Fighter |
| Festive Fighter | Sketche99 | 2021 (12/15) | 2 | Ouya | Download | Windows (Steam, itch.io), Linux, Mac | Indie | Freeware | N/A | N/A | N/A | Parsec | Online | N/A | Universal Fighting Engine game. 1v1 2.5D fighter with a christmas setting. Entry for the 2021 OUYA Winter Game Jam. Was ported to PC later, and seems that it's exactly the same game | |
| Fight Angel | Red Fox | 2019 (08/27) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | Fight Angel Special Edition | N/A | Parsec / Steam Remote | Dev Twitter | N/A | First entry. 1v1 2.5D fighter mostly known for the ecchi/fanservice content and a shitton of customizable clothes/skins, but very questionable gameplay | |
| Fight Angel Special Edition | Red Fox | 2019 (12/20) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | N/A | 2021/07/21 update | Parsec / Steam Remote | Dev Twitter | SP Moves (in chinese) | Second and final entry. Models were changed to a more “anime style” and received new characters and tons of DLC. It's bad honestly, but has a somewhat large community because lewd | |
| Fight Club | Genuine Games / Vivendi | 2004 (11/16) | 2 | PlayStation 2, Xbox | DVD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | PCSX2 (PS2) | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | GameFAQs | 1v1 3D fighter based on the movie of the same name. Great movie, terrible game. Has Fred Durst as guest character lol | |

Kyanta 2 | 1.0 | Parsec | N/A | N/A | First entry of this amazing doujin 1v1 or 3v3 2D fighter with a very goofy and unusual visual style. The original version is still available on Vector. Has a free sequel/update on Steam called “Ultra Fight Da! Kyanta 2” that is now a cult classic and has an active scene wordwide |
| Fight Fever | 왕중왕 (Wang Jung Wang) | Viccom | 1994 (06/28) | 2 | Arcade (Neogeo MVS) | Cartridge (98Mbit) | N/A | Retail | Commercial | MAME / FBNeo (Arcade) | N/A | N/A | Fightcade | N/A | GameFAQs | 1v1 2D fighter made in South Korea. The dev had a strong relationship with SNK (some sources says the name of Kim Kaphwan is based on Viccom’s CEO name). “So bad it’s okay” category. Eye of Typhoon is supposedly a “spiritual sequel” but they don't look alike at all |
| Fight for Life | Atari Corporation | 1996 (01/15) | 2 | Atari Jaguar | Cartridge (32Mbit) | PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Steam, Amazon Luna | Retail | Commercial | BigPEmu (Jaguar), Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch) | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | GameFAQs | 1v1 3D fighter made by Francois Yves Bertrand who worked on Virtua Fighter. Characters can “steal” movements from the rival. The released game was an unfinished Beta. It's bad, but has some charm. Check the leaked Beta. Also available on “Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration” | |
| Fight for Life (Beta) | Atari Corporation | 2005 (??/??) | 2 | Atari Jaguar | Cartridge (32Mbit) | N/A | Retail | Commercial | BigPEmu | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | GameFAQs | In 2005 a Beta of the game compiled in 1995 was released and even sold on physical cartridges. It runs at better framerate, doesn’t have the “steal” mechanic and plays overall better, yet the 3D models are rougher | |
| Fight for Vengeance | PSCD Games / Bitmap Soft | 2021 (07/??) | 2 | Sega Genesis | Cartridge | N/A | Indie | Commercial | BlastEm | N/A | Fightcade | Online | N/A | 1v1 2D indie/homebrew fighter for Genesis. Edgy/dark visuals and character designs. Six characters. It's sadly mediocre (feels very stiff) and there’s better indie fighting games on Genesis. It's on Fightcade | ||

Rollback netcode. It had a much more subdued reception than the first game | |
| Fight of Animals: Legend of the Strongest Creature | Digital Crafter | 2019 (12/18) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | Switch | Indie | Commercial | Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch) | N/A | 2024/01/18 Update | Original game netcode | Dev Twitter | Mizuumi | 1v1 2.5D fighter based on animals or, to be specific, memes. A 15 minutes joke if you ask me, but it's playable. Rollback netcode. Sold super good for an Indie FG. Has an active scene in Taiwan for some reason. Fight of Animals: Arena is in the platform fighter genre so it's not a sequel | |
| Fight of Gods | Digital Crafter | 2017 (09/04) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | Switch | Indie | Commercial | Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch) | Fight of Gods Arcade Edition | 2020/08/04 Update | Original game netcode | Dev Twitter | N/A | 1v1 2.5D fighter with gods from different religions fighting each other. Was “””controversial””” in some countries. It's okayish, barely. Has an exA-Arcade version with “Beliar the devil” as an exclusive character that will probably never come to any other platform anytime soon | |
| Fight of Steel: Infinity Warrior | Digital Crafter | 2022 (07/14) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | N/A | 2022/10/03 Update | Original game netcode | Dev Twitter | N/A | Digital Crafter basically took their fighting game engine and give it to users with a customizable editor. 1v1 2.5D fighter with robots. Reception has been overall good, yet because of its “customizable” stuff it doesn’t have a big competitive scene (and probably wasn’t the idea anyway) | |
| Fight! | Sabec Limited | 2020 (10/15) | 2 | PlayStation 4, Switch | Download (PSN, eShop) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch, untested) | N/A | N/A | Parsec (via Switch emulation, I guess) | Online | N/A | 1v1 2.5D fighter. I played it just once on Switch and it's fucking atrocious, extremely slow and not in the “so bad it's good” category either. I haven’t tested it on Yuzu/Ryujinx yet so if you want to and tell me the results be my guest | |
| Fight.EXE | SolidValentine | 2025 (07/31) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam, Itch.io) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | N/A | N/A | Parsec / Steam Remote | Steam entry | N/A | 1v1 2.5D fighter with a “creepypasta” aesthetic… or I guess so, I honestly don’t know what’s going on here. The single player mode has some weird FPS stages too?. Demo available at Steam and Itch.io. No online | |

Simple in execution but of a higher quality than many DOS fighters that were made in the west in those years. Revived in 2021 with rollback and crossplay on modern platforms but no rebalance (or it seems so). An exA-Arcadia version is in the works | |

The first game is called “Fighters Destiny” but the sequel dropped the plural form of the first word. It's pretty decent but for nostalgic and “being there” reasons I prefer the first one. Has a spiritual sequel on NAOMI called “Toy Fighter” with the same rules |

Because it's a console release it didn’t have a proper distribution of games created on it, but if you know an example worth mentioning on my database let me know |

Sequel to Karnov’s Revenge, not a spin off. Chelnov from Atomic Runner Chelnov is a hidden character. The exclusive 2v2 Tag Battle mode is great! Rereleased in 2017 in “16bit-Collection Data East Vol. 02” and “Data East Classic Collection” on SNES by Retro-bit |
| Fighter’s Glory | Corbally Games | 2020 (04/13) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | N/A | 2020/06/19 patch | Original game netcode / Parsec / Steam Remote | Steam entry | N/A | 1v1 3D weapon based fighter. Has a very indie “we have Soulcalibur at home” feel. Delay based netcode, I suggest to use Parsec or Steam Remote instead. Kind of a so bad it's good experience | |
| Fighter’s History | ファイターズヒストリー | Data East | 1993 (03/??) | 2 | Arcade (Data East 32 bit ARM based) | ROM board | SNES. The SNES version is also on Windows via Project EGG (emulation) and Switch on Super Nintendo Switch Online | Retail | Commercial | MAME / FBNeo (Arcade), Ares (SNES) | Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! | N/A | Fightcade | N/A | GameFAQs | First entry of this classic 1v1 2D franchise. Mostly know because of the legendary legal battle with Capcom. It doesn’t have an active scene but it's still cool, also the soundtrack fucking rules. The SNES port is amazing, with gameplay almost intact. Got a sequel called Karnov’s Revenge |
| Fighters Destiny | ファイティングカップ (Fighting Cup) | Genki / Opus Corp. / Anchor | 1998 (01/26) | 2 | Nintendo 64 | Cartridge (96Mbit) | N/A | Retail | Commercial | RMG | Fighter Destiny 2 | N/A | RMG | N/A | GameFAQs | First entry. 1v1 3D fighter. Has the most generic character designs but also has a unique point system. I enjoy this game, it's not “underrated” but it's worth your curiosity. You need to unlock movements, so use a save file with everything unlocked if you’re going to play with someone first |
| Fighters Forge | Chaotix | 2024 (03/15) | 4 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | N/A | 2024/12/11 update | Original game netcode? | Online | N/A | 4 players arena fighter kinda inspired in Power Stone that has a big “customize your fighter” edit mode. Also has a detailed beat ‘em up mode with co-op. Early access game but has been updated and last news were from mid 2025. Don’t know if netcode is delay or rollback based | |
| Fighters Kyodotai | ファイターズ共同体 | Alicuu | 2000 (??/??) | 2 | Windows | Download (rar file) | N/A | Indie | Freeware | N/A | Fighters Kyodotai Flash | Ver. Final Mix | LilithPort / Parsec | Archive.org backup | Official help files (Archive.org backup, in japanese) | 2D Fighter Maker 95 game. The very first game by legendary Taiwanese group Alicuu/FK Digital of Super Cosplay War Ultra and Chaos Code fame. 1v1 2D fighter. Original download host was the classic “Home of the Underdogs”, it's not there anymore but the game is relatively easy to find |
| Fighters Kyodotai Flash | ファイターズ共同体FLASH | Alicuu | 2003 (??/??) | 2 | Windows | Download | N/A | Indie | Freeware | N/A | N/A | Ver.03/03 | LilithPort / Parsec | N/A | N/A | Sequel to Fighters Kyodotai that only a beta was released and was never finished, so it has much less content. Jumped to 2DFM2nd. Two characters. Probably cancelled because devs started to work on “Super Cosplay War Ultra”. Has no official download site but it's not that hard to find |
| Fighters Megamix | ファイターズ メガミックス | Sega AM2 | 1996 (12/21) | 2 | Sega Saturn | CD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | Mednafen | N/A | N/A | RetroArch (Beetle Saturn, rollback) / Mednafen (delay) | Archive.org backup | GameFAQs | 1v1 3D fighter. Saturn exclusive that mix Virtua Fighter 3 and Fighting Vipers with a lot of classic Sega characters. I prefer to set the gameplay to “Virtua Fighter”. Freaking amazing game that sadly doesn’t have any modern port and I hope when Arkadyzja got RetroArch generates a scene |
| Fighters' Impact | ファイターズ インパクト | Polygon Magic / Taito | 1996 (09/??) | 2 | PlayStation | CD | PS3, PSP and PS Vita via Game Archives | Retail | Commercial | Duckstation / Mednafen | Vs. | N/A | Duckstation Netplay / Arkadyzja | N/A | GameFAQs | 1v1 3D fighter. Interesting “custom combo” mechanic. Great soundtrack by Zuntata. THQ localized the game in the west as “Vs.” (most ungoogleable name ever for a FG imho) but the changes were so big it's basically a totally different game with it's own entry on the database |
| Fighters' Impact A | ファイターズ インパクトA | Polygon Magic / Taito | 1997 (04/25) | 2 | Arcade (Sony ZN-1) | ROM board | N/A | Retail | Commercial | MAME | N/A | Ver 2.02 | Parsec / RetroArch rollback (untested) / MAME32K (Kaillera, delay based, untested) | N/A | Replay Burners (in japanese) | Update for arcades with A LOT of changes. The custom combo system was totally removed… if this is good or bad it's up to your taste. Never had a port on consoles. It's interesting too. Latest version “2.02” is a parent ROM on MAME for some reason, but I don’t know the changes |
| Fighters' Legacy | Jae-Lee Productions | 2019 (08/01) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | N/A | N/A | Parsec / Steam Remote | Dev Facebook | N/A | Third fighting game made by Jae-Lee Productions. 1v1 2.5D fighter more into realistic/martial arts style of gameplay. Probably the most uninspired of all of his games (the dev himself said this was his most “casual” project). I recommend to play “Shaolin vs Wutang Legends” instead | |
| Fightin' Spirit | Light Shock Software | 1996 (??/??) | 2 | Amiga OCS/ECS / Amiga AGA | Floppy Disk | Amiga CD32 | Retail | Commercial | WinUAE | N/A | Amiga CD32 version | Parsec | N/A | Il Dizionario dei Videogiochi | 1v1 2D fighter on Amiga, clearly inspired by SNK and Neo Geo games. Gameplay is honestly bad but for Amiga is fine, also the 2D work is great. You think it's a cheap SNK ripoff but nope, they truly worked hard. Amiga CD32 version has CDA soundtrack, the OP theme song is so cool! | |
| Fighting Angels | SIMPLE2000シリーズ Vol.55: THE キャットファイト 女猫伝説 (The Catfight: Joneko Densetsu) | Tamsoft | 2004 (06/24) | 2 | PlayStation 2 | DVD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | RMG | N/A | N/A | Parsec | Online | N/A | 1v1 3D fighter with an all-female cast. Looks like a wrestling game at first but it's more like a traditional 3D fighter. Part of the Simple 2000 series that was surprisingly localized in the west |
| Fighting Dragon | 神龍快打 (Shenlong Kuaida) | Microbase | 1996 (??/??) | 2 | MS-DOS | Floppy Disk | N/A | Retail | Commercial | DOSBox-X | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | N/A | 1v1 2D fighter. A strange mix of half-human warriors, half-legendary creatures that can transform into dinosaurs (greetings to Primal Rage 2). Slow and janky |
| Fighting Edition | Namco Bandai Games | 2015 (05/28) | 2 | PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 | Blu Ray (PS3), DVD (Xbox 360) | N/A | Retail | Commercial | RPCS3 (PS3), Xenia (Xbox 360) | N/A | N/A | RPCS3 (via RPCN), Parsec (for all platforms) | N/A | See entries on the respective games | A very generic name for a PS3/360 compilation released only in Europe that includes “Tekken 6”, “Tekken Tag Tournament 2” and “Soulcalibur V”, which is a really cool pack | |
| Fighting EX Layer | ファイティングEXレイヤー | Arika | 2018 (06/28) | 2 | PlayStation 4 | Blu Ray | Windows (Steam), Arcade | Retail | Commercial | Jconfig / TeknoParrot (Arcade) | N/A | Ver.1.5.5 | Original game netcode | Online | The Complete Fighting EX Layer Guide | 1v1 2.5D fighter. “Sequel” to Fighting Layer in theory but plays much more like Street Fighter EX. The return of the Arika cast after years. Rollback netcode. Got Terry Bogard as a DLC. Arcade version runs OK on Jconfig/Teknoparrot. The Switch game is sooo different. Has a small scene |
| Fighting EX Layer: Another Dash | ファイティングEXレイヤー -アナザー・ダッシュ- | Arika | 2021 (02/21) | 2 | Switch | Game Card | N/A | Retail | Commercial | Yuzu/Ryujinx | N/A | Ver.2.3.2 | Yuzu/Ryujinx / Parsec | Online | N/A | An exclusive Switch version that completely removed the controversial Gougi system with a new EX-Action system. Overall reception of this version has been positive but because it's Switch only it has almost close to zero scene. Perfectly playable on Yuzu and Ryuujinx |
| Fighting Eyes | ファイティングアイズ | Bandit / Solan | 1998 (12/17) | 2 | PlayStation | CD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | Duckstation / Mednafen | N/A | N/A | Duckstation Netplay / Arkadyzja | Archive.org backup | N/A | 1v1 3D fighter vaguely inspired in Last Bronx. Well known in Japan as a classic kusoge that was totally destroyed on japanese game magazines, especially on Famitsu and The PlayStation. It's ugly, janky and buggy as hell, but it's good for some laughs |
| Fighting For One Piece | ファイティングフォーワンピース | Plan-Out / Bandai | 2005 (09/06) | 2 | PlayStation 2 | DVD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | PCSX2 | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | N/A | 1v1 2.5D fighter with One Piece characters. It made some buzz because the characters were finally not Chibi/SD as in the Grand Battle series. Sadly it's mediocre imho, also the load times are kind of long for a PS2 game |
| Fighting Fury | グラップラー刃牙 バキ最強列伝 (Grappler Baki: Baki Saikyō Retsuden) | Arc System Works / Tomy | 2000 (10/12) | 2 | PlayStation 2 | CD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | PCSX2 | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | GameFAQs | Also known as “Grappler Baki: Baki Saidai no Tournament”. Fighting Fury is the (bad) european localization. 1v1 2.5D fighter based on the anime, made by Arcsys which can surprise some people. It's fine… yet you probably would prefer to check Garouden Breakblow: Fist or Twist |
| Fighting Heart | chimp | 2022 (02/11) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | N/A | 0.12 | Parsec / Steam Remote | Steam entry | N/A | 1v1 3D fighter in the style of VF/Tekken and even a little of Tobal. Super humble and very janky, but the dev tried, thats for sure. It's on early access but it seems it was abandoned (no updates since march 2022). No online | |
| Fighting Hero | Asder | 1991 (??/??) | 2 | Nintendo Entertainment System | Cartridge | N/A | Indie | Commercial | Mesen | N/A | N/A | Fightcade (rollback), Mednafen / Mesen / Retroarch (delay) | N/A | N/A | 1v1 2D fighter. A bootleg/ripoff of the very first Street Fighter on NES, yet some characters are “original” | |
| Fighting Hero III | Asder | 1993 (??/??) | 2 | Nintendo Entertainment System | Cartridge | N/A | Indie | Commercial | FCEUX | N/A | N/A | Fightcade (rollback), Mednafen / Mesen / Retroarch (delay) | N/A | YouTube guide | Second entry (Fighting Hero 2 doesn’t exist). Totally made from scratch and it isn’t “inspired” in any particular game. It's janky as most bootleg NES fighting games, but the jump from the first one to this is impressive and it has some dignity. Doesn’t work on Mesen, use FCEUX instead | |
| Fighting Layer | ファイティングレイヤー | Arika / Namco | 1998 (12/??) | 2 | Arcade (Namco System 12) | ROM board | N/A | Retail | Commercial | MAME | N/A | FTL3 VER.A | Arkadyzja | N/A | @wiki (in japanese) | 1v1 3D fighter. Arika used their characters from Street Fighter EX and made an original title, this time with 3D free movement. There’s a very obscure and undumped “censored” version. Has never been ported to anything. An online community began to grow in 2025 thanks to Arkadyzja |
| Fighting Masters | ファイティングマスターズ | Aicom | 1991 (12/06) | 2 | Sega Genesis | Cartridge (4Mbit) | N/A | Retail | Commercial | BlastEm | N/A | N/A | Fightcade | N/A | Sega Retro | 1v1 2D fighter. A kind of experimental mix between a traditional fighter and wrestling but with monsters. ALL HAIL ROTUNDO |
| Fighting Simulator: 2-in-1: Flying Warriors | 飛龍の拳外伝 (Hiryu no Ken Gaiden) | Culture Brain | 1990 (12/22) | 2 | Game Boy | Cartridge | N/A | Retail | Commercial | BGB | N/A | N/A | Parsec for BGB (use two instances of the emulator opened) | N/A | N/A | The first “Gaiden” of the Hiryu no Ken franchise, and the first on Game Boy. The second game included is a 1v1 2D fighter. No Super Game Boy support so you will need to use two instances of the emulator linked |
| Fighting Vipers | ファイティングバイパーズ | Sega AM2 | 1995 (11/??) | 2 | Arcade (Sega Model 2) | ROM board | SS, PS3, Xbox 360 | Retail | Commercial | Model 2 Emulator (Arcade), RPCS3 (PS3), Xenia (Xbox 360) | N/A | Revision D | Arkadyzja (Arcade), Parsec (PS3, untested on RPCN), Mednafen (SS) | Online | @wiki (in japanese) | Great 1v1 3D fighter, very underrated outside Japan. Playable on Model 2 Emulator with visual glitches so I recommend the PS3 port that works perfect on RPCS3. SS port is a downgrade but has FUCKING PEPSIMAN. Arcade version is on Arkadyzja but MAME emulation is a mixed bag |
| Fighting Vipers 2 | ファイティングバイパーズ2 | Sega AM2 | 1998 (04/??) | 2 | Arcade (Sega Model 3) | ROM board | DC, arcade version included in Like a Dragon Gaiden as a minigame on PS4/5, Xbox One, Series X/S and Steam | Retail | Commercial | Supermodel (Arcade), Flycast (DC) | N/A | Rev A | Parsec or Supermodel Dojo (Arcade), Fightcade / Arkadyzja / Flycast Dojo (DC) | N/A | @wiki (in japanese) | Cool sequel, and kind of fast for a 1v1 3D fighter of that era. Even more obscure than the first one outside Japan. The DC port was a notorious downgrade, but it's pretty much playable. Arcade game was included on Like a Dragon Gaiden, emulation looks fine there |
| Figure KnockOut | Punchline Playworks | 2027 (in development) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | N/A | Demo | Parsec | Steam entry | N/A | 1v1 2D fighter that, according to the dev, “combines the best of 2D fighting and platform fighting”. Has a demo with no online modes | |
| Final Fight Revenge | ファイナルファイト リベンジ | Capcom Digital Studios | 1999 (07/??) | 2 | Arcade (Sega ST-V) | Cartridge | SS | Retail | Commercial | Mednafen | N/A | N/A | RetroArch (Beetle Saturn, rollback), Mednafen (delay) | Archive.org backup | GameFAQs | 1v1 3D fighter based on the legendary beat ‘em up franchise. It is… “special” to say the least, developed in the US by a team that didn’t know shit about fighting games. Has some charm on it in the so bad it's good category. Saturn port was released in 2000 and it's mega expensive now |
| Final Strike | Usagi Jumbo | 2001 (03/15) | 2 | Windows | Download (zip file) | N/A | Doujin | Freeware | N/A | N/A | Final Strike-HC | Parsec | Vector entry | N/A | 1v1 2D fighter with an all-female cast. It was promoted more as a MUGEN-style engine than as a conventional fighting game. Has two revisions: the original (still available at Vector) and the “HC” version that is the same game but was fixed to work on modern versions of Windows | |
| First Cut | Night Eyes Interactive | 2017 (??/??) | 2 | Windows | Download (itch.io) | N/A | Indie | Freeware | N/A | First Cut: Samurai Duel | N/A | Parsec | Online | N/A | 1v1 2D “one hit kill” weapon based fighter with samurais in the style of Bushido Blade but it's very gory and dark. This version is considerer a “Beta” of the full game on Steam but it's still available for download as a separate entity, and for free. No online | |
| First Cut: Samurai Duel | Night Eyes Interactive | 2024 (01/17) | 2 | Windows | Download (Steam) | N/A | Indie | Commercial | N/A | N/A | Version 1.3 | Parsec / Steam Remote | Steam entry | N/A | Update with more stuff, and this time as a commercial product. Still no online | |
| FIST | フィスト | Imagineer | 1996 (11/22) | 2 | Sega Saturn | CD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | Mednafen | PS1 version I guess? | N/A | RetroArch (Beetle Saturn, rollback), Mednafen (delay) | N/A | GameFAQs | 1v1 3D fighter, technically part of the Pretty Fighter franchise but that’s debatable. Really bad VF style game. Has a juggle system for combos but good luck with that |
| FIST (PS1 version) | フィスト | Imagineer | 1996 (11/29) | 2 | PlayStation | CD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | Duckstation / Mednafen | N/A | N/A | Duckstation Netplay / Arkadyzja | N/A | N/A | A PS1 version was released a week later after the Saturn one but it has COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAMEPLAY… and, if you ask me, for the worse (yes, even more) |
| Fist Fighter | Zeppelin Games | 1993 (??/??) | 2 | Commodore 64 / Amiga | Floppy disk | N/A | Retail | Commercial | Denise / VICE (C64), WinUAE (Amiga) | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | N/A | 1v1 2D fighter. The C64 version is kinda legendary because it's pretty impressive for the platform (yet obviously very basic), also the music slaps | |

This first version is now freeware and available for download at the official website |
| Fist of Fire Misuzu Densetsu+ | FISTS OF FIRE 美鈴伝説+ (Fist of Fire Misuzu Densetsu+) | Seishun 18 Kingyo | 2017 (??/??) | 2 | Windows | Download? | N/A | Doujin | Unknown? | N/A | Meirin in Fist of Fire | N/A | LilithPort / Parsec | Online | N/A | Okay, I’m kind of lost here: this is supposedly an update that added five new characters but there’s zero info on the website about the release date or if this was a free download update or a commercial release on CD… I need more info!. Next and final update is “Meirin in Fist of Fire” |
| Fist of the North Star (Game Boy) | 北斗の拳 凄絶十番勝負 (Hokuto no Ken: Seijetsu Juuban Shoubu) | Shoei System / Electro Brain | 1989 (12/22) | 2 | Game Boy | Cartridge | N/A | Retail | Commercial | BGB | N/A | N/A | Parsec for BGB (use two instances of the emulator opened) | N/A | N/A | 1v1 2D fighter based on Hokuto no Ken that was, surprisingly, localized. Really bad (there’s not even guard!) but well… it's a pre-SFII fighting game on GB. No Super Game Boy support so you will need to use two instances of the emulator linked |

Strongly recommend to play it with both the Arcade Card and 6 buttons controller enable. Has a (much better imho) sequel on SNES called Battle Tycoon: Flash Hiders SFX |

A port of a mobile game for Steam. It’s F2P but has been harshly criticized as a “pay to win” game with very pricey DLCs. Game was abandoned by the devs around 2024 and online is server based so seems that it’s not working good anymore | |

Has been on early access/alpha since 2019 and the last update was on 2022 so maybe it’s dead?. There’s a Steam entry with a “coming soon” message, no news since six years. Looks kinda cool though! | |

Has a small but active community. Has a Demo | |

A very simple yet super technical game, clearly inspired in 3rd Strike Ryu fundamentals. Read the rules on the official website. Added rollback netcode and now it's officially called “Footsies: Rollback Edition” but it's basically the same game. It's really cool! | |

The very first game by Team17. There are two versions: one with copyright from 17 Bit Software/Team17 and a second with Team17 only. 17 Bit Software was one of the companies that merged to form Team17. Clumsy gameplay, but a classic piece of Amiga software | |

Has been in development since the 2010s, with the dev uploading “making of” videos on YouTube. Last update was on 2025 so things has been slow. Had an early access version in 2020 but it's not available anymore so this is a hard one to find | |

Character designs by Toru Nakayama of Mega Man Zero (using another name, Tetsunokyojin). Has online but it's trash, use Parsec. Highly recommended. Had an “update” but read bellow carefully |

Planned as a physical release but the devs uploaded the patch on their blog and disbanded. Web died and there’s no “legal” way to find it. The JP community don’t play this version. Also this version added bugs, glitches and dumb infinites |
| FX Fighter | Argonaut Software | 1995 (06/16) | 2 | MS-DOS | CD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | DOSBox-X | FX Fighter Turbo | N/A | Parsec | N/A | GameFAQs | 1v1 3D fighter. I was hyped as fuck for the SNES version but was cancelled because Nintendo didn’t wanted this to compete with Killer Instinct. Moved to MS-DOS, probably for the best. It's basic, but it's not that terrible. Making this to run at the correct speed is a pain in the ass | |
| FX Fighter Turbo | Argonaut Software | 1996 (11/05) | 2 | Windows | CD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | Can run on modern versions of Windows but you need to tweak some stuff. Look at PCGamingWiki for that. If not try PCem | N/A | N/A | Parsec | N/A | N/A | Update that jumped to Windows 95. Feels more like a remake or straight sequel than an update. Two new characters, new movements and… fatalities. Has netplay but good luck with that. There is a special OEM version that support 3D acceleration cards | |
