23.06.2022Would Shing! count as a fighting game, or a beat 'em up?

I don't really think that counts as a fighting game.
>Fantasy strike
That's a valid complaint through.
>Skullgirls
As far as I'm aware both the main developer and the artist behind the unique visual style have left and been fired respectively. I'm not sure what they're going to do for future updates but I'd put a pause on this one.

23.06.2022TFH needs to be on consoles

23.06.2022No Fighting EX Layer? No Fight Of Gods? Or Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid?. Owo

23.06.2022Also Skullgirls 2nd Encore Is Criminally Underrated 😔.

23.06.2022No honourable mention for Glove on fight? 😑

20.06.2022Under night counts as indie? I know the devs aren't very big but I don't think they're indie.
Bladimir Marín
20.06.2022Skullgirls the best game indie 🛐
Oda Nobunaga
20.06.2022There are BETTER games than Blade strangers, in fact it is a game that the little good it has is that it rescues characters from the Code of princess franchise, to mention just one Omen of sorrow is BETTER, its only flaw is that its story mode it is extremely short and its characters have no individual ending.
Two games do not mention: Fighting EX layer that has very good game mechanics (and it is a game that requires TRUE ability to learn to play) and another, that in fact belongs to the same line of the Under night type, would be the entire franchise from MELTY BLOOD featuring iconic characters like NEKO arc

20.06.2022TFH is a really well made game too bad it will never be seen as something other than "that MLP fighting game."
Anderson Kennedy
20.06.2022Under Night in Birth is my favorite from this list. Much love for this game.
jscriber100
20.06.2022Very informative video, you named a bunch of vastly different gems. I definately gotta give Punch Planet and Lethal League Blaze a shot, once I finally get Persona 4 Arena. I'm really overdue for that one. Great job!!
Tino Yuan
17.06.2022melty blood was Indie Fighting Game. and it should be somewhere between #1 to #5, way ahead of Them's Fightin' Herds.
CyborgChicken
17.06.2022There's also Shaolin Vs Wutang on Steam and I think is being developed by just 1 guy, it's basically a fighting game that revolves around characters from old Kung Fu movies, it's awesome but it still needs a lot of work in terms of its animation….but the idea is awesome, there's 2 out so far, I'm hoping they really nail it by the third one.
aplsed
17.06.2022Under Night isn't an indie game, but good to see it on here regardless.

17.06.2022Which game is the thumbnail from?
Arure TheIncomprehensible
17.06.2022Brawlhalla 100% deserves to be on this list. It's far and away the most popular indie platform fighter (blowing Rivals of Aether clean out of the water), and has a lot of interesting mechanics that lets it distance itself from its Super Smash Bros roots like the weapon system and its air dodge mechanics/"combo" system. Couple this with 51 characters (far more any other game on this list and more than this list's top 3 combined) and a fantastic free to play model (which makes it one of the few major success stories among fighting games, let alone platform fighters, in the free to play space), and you get a game that absolutely deserves to be on this list.
The only thing that could discount it is the publisher, but keep in mind that Ubisoft was only acquired as a publisher after the game launched and proved to be successful, and that's not too much different than the Under Night In-Birth entry (which is published by Arc System Works, one of the biggest names in fighting game development)

17.06.2022i thought it was fight club damn it to hell
knightofthewind
17.06.2022I mean I am not sure if some of these games constitute as indie – like Uni and Blade Strangers. I mean they are published by big companies. That being said Blade Strangers was great, better that it had any right to be. They also quietly released extra characters without much of marketing.

17.06.2022its not a game of chess if positions are reset stop comparing fighting games to chess

17.06.2022Can you talk about skullgirls Xbox?

17.06.2022The art on that lethal league omg.
Haganeren
16.06.2022It's funny how half of those title try to "simplify" the fighting games.
Indie games was something that helped to create game "not for everyone" for niche player. So i don't understand why they are still trying to make game that has to be "simplified" as if new players would begin with a unknown game instead of, i don't know, Street Fighter.
This is why Skullgirls, UNIEL or RIvals are still at the top in 2021. They have a vision of an interesting game in a certain genre and doesn't compromise anything to it… Or else you can do something entirely different like Lethal League of course.

16.06.2022where Guilty gear?

16.06.2022LETHAL LEAGUE BLAZE REMINDS ME OF JET SET RADIO AND SLAP HAPPY RHYTHM BUSTERS
Dominic Jannazo
16.06.2022I would like to un-recommend Verdict Guilty.
It is an interesting game, but decidedly unpolished and feels very stiff and uninteresting to play. The main problem is the intentional slowdown during many projectiles and moves, which feels terrible, and guns needed to be reloaded which sounds interesting but basically every other game with any sort of reload has done better.
I wish it was better, I wanted to like it, but it's just nowhere near as fun as anything else i've played from this list.

16.06.2022Roof rage is just rivals of aether but even more simple
Aaron Atkinson
16.06.2022I fucking love both skullgirls and under night
Aaron Atkinson
15.06.2022Skullgirls deserved number one in my opinion
Samurai Reflection
15.06.2022im just letting you know, we dont have enough developers or modders in this world, so lets all get to createing.
MaddestMike
15.06.2022Rivals of Aether's characters and settings make it feel like a mash up of Avatar The Last Airbender and ThunderCats. ^^
ZzigzaG00NIN
15.06.2022SG is sooooooooooo amazing
SuperNESP
15.06.2022I'm only at entry 8, but c'mon. Rivals of Aether. Don't sleep on it, people. It's tight as it gets, and if you think you know a character well enough, it's time to become them, as without truly fighting as them, you will miss out on a LOT of tech. Flow like water as Orcane, or hit hot and hard as Forsburn. Show mechanical mayhem as Elliana, or be one of the earthen fighters. Every character is truly masterful.
I forgot to say, 4 new characters have been released since this video.
SuperNESP
15.06.2022I could be a little off genre, but Duck Game should be on here. Sure, half of the weapons are guns, but it feels sooo much like a platform brawler that it should be here!
Nathan Turner
15.06.2022The variety! This video summarizes why this is one of my favorite genres!
