Eternal Champions has to be the worst fighter ever. My cousin had it for the Sega Genesis and it was terrible. The characters were horrible, The moves were not impressive and the A.I. was cheap as hell.
It's not the greatest, but when it came out, I really enjoyed the hell out of EC. I love Larcen! It had a ton of moves and some great music. Sure the presentation was lame (couldn't there have been at least an announcer to say "round 1" or "fight" or something?
But other than that, I enjoyed the hell out of it. Pushed the Genesis about as far as it would go.
I would have to say the shittiest fighting game I've played was Battle Arena Toshinden 2. I know that now the whole series is a flamming piece of crap, but at the time, I actually enjoyed the first one... even if the moves were insanely hard. But the second one? Jesus, take a poor game and make everything about it even worse. HORRIBLE intro, terrible frame rate, god awful graphics, and a lame cast of new characters. The guy with the gun, before it came out and at the time, sounded like a good idea. What a piece of horse shit. And I've played Fight Fever.
