Pretty much most of my favorites have been mentioned in the posts before me... KOF, Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown... Last Blade 2 being the best :) |

Regarding Last Blade 2, yeah, the deflect button, where you could deflect most attacks and strike back by simply hitting the deflect button just as the opponent tries to attack, was a stroke of genius. It's so satisfying, really well animated, and it levels the playing field a lot for people who don't care to learn the special moves. You still have to time the moment when you hit deflect and it won't work if they duck at the last minute and hit you low. It's one of the few fighters where I've seen actual parrying. Also, people realize that they might get punished if they try to attack, so they wait or walk back and forth or just jump over, hoping to goad the other player into attacking. The perfect counter to the button mashers from SFII and an absolute gem of a fighting game. |

Last Blade 2 hasn't left my Neo. It's just that good. Ken: There have been other fighters like Garou (which used "Just defend") and SF (uses "alpha counters"), but I'll agree I can't time any counters well besides LB2... Samurai Shodown 4. Uses 3 slash & 1 kick, way better than their traditional 2 slash 2 kick system IMO. As others said, Metal Slug & Puzzle Bobble. If you can afford and find them, Waku Waku 7 & Garou: Mark of the Wolves. I also like King of Fighters 2000, 2001, and 2003. 2003 is uneven mainly because when you knock someone down, you can almost always perform a super on them when they stand up and the only thing that works typically is to roll out of the way on standing up, which the computer doesn't do. And the final boss isn't crazy hard like most other KOFs. I would play SvC if it weren't for the fact that you aren't allowed to jump...every time you do, the computer air cancels you with an uppercut at an unbelievable success rate, the folks on killercabs.com seemed to agree. I DO suggest Capcom V SNK 2 for dreamcast, PS2, Naomi (it's arcade hardware motherboard), etc. WAY more, it rocks hard. But it isn't on neo. And I would still buy SvC if it weren't $60 most of the time on ebay, it isn't a bad game, but I find it's flaws irritating. |

Nobody mentioned Pop'N Pop. Well actually I don't think it's a Neo-Geo game. Whatever, its made by the same company as the Puzzle Bobble series. |
