It Came From Arc System Works: Guilty Gear

Guilty Gear is one of the coolest 2D fighting games to ever hit the PlayStation console back in 1998. The game had an awesome rock n roll theme with a soundtrack that hyped up the gameplay.

One of the characters in the game is named Axl Low. His appearance was based heavily on the lead singer of the band Guns N Roses, Axl Rose. There are a lot of band references throughout the game and you can tell that it was heavily influenced by pop culture and music.

“Heaven or Hell! Lets Rock!” yells the announcer upon starting a match.

The game is based on combos and how well you can time and pull them off. It’s a game where you can’t really button mash because pressing the wrong button would leave you wide open for someone to destroy you. It’s a deep game that takes practice to learn all of its awkward moveset commands. Once you get the character's movesets down, the game gets you hooked.

It Came From Nintendo: Super Smash Bros.

Smashing its way onto the Nintendo 64 in the late '90s, a new franchise was born. Super Smash Bros. was a hit fighting game that sold over five million copies.

The game was marked down by fans as one of the greatest fighting games ever created. The 3D fighter took all of Nintendo’s well known mascots from different games and created an amazing crossover game that pitted them against each other in a four player madness.

It was a completely original fighting game.

Gone were the traditional health bars and special meters used in traditional fighters like Street fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom. The gameplay was simply mass mayhem, seeing who can knock the other player off the stage.

For gamers who haven’t played any of the smash games yet or those who may have forgot, here’s how the game works.
