Ok you only get to name one fighter on the neo geo which you think is the best ever. it doesnt matter if its dated or looks naff
it could have redisgned the way fighting games are made and given you the most enjoyment

I would say mine is Samurai shodown 2 as it has a great cast of fighters, great playabilty, solid engine, great backdrops even for now, nicly presented and has given me years of fun.

Samurai Shodown 1 or 2.... 2 oozes more Neo Geo goodness than anything I have ever played... But I grew up on 1 with a couple of my college roommates and we played the hell out of 1.

Last Blade, simply because I feel it being the next evolution of SS2 (yes I think SS3 and 4 are the red-headed bastard children of the series).

Right after that I would definately say SS2.

Then we could get into: KOF95, 96, 98, LB2, SS3 (I still like the game), FFS, RBFFS, blah blah blah

I'll be the Neo newbie and say MotW. Only because it was the reason I decided to get into the MVS. But since then I've discovered the greatness of ones such as Last Blade and rekindled my love for Sam Sho.

May not be the ultimate, but I enjoy the hell out of Rage of the Dragons. Its fast, challenging, and full of awesome looking combos.

On the other end of the spectrum, of course, Samurai Shodown 2.

Then again, I enjoy everything inbetween as well.

I have to say mine is SamSho 2

LB is also awesome, but it´s a Samsho2 evolution.

I´m still waiting for King of Blades though.

So many to choose from, but I'll go with RB2 with KOF '95 a close second.

I would say Samurai Shodown 1 because that's what got me into the Neo and that is practically the only Neo Geo game everyone knows and remembers that knows nothing about the hardware.

SS2 for the overall improvements and fighting style.

Last Blade for being the pure personification of what a fighter should be.

RB2 for the great animation

MOTW for being the most "mainstream" game and for the almost flawless animation.


In my opinion I would say The Last Blade overall stands out as the ultimate fighter on the Neo but it is way too short.
