Hey all.

I was interested in what everyone's top 5 VS fighting games on the Neo-Geo are. What are your top 5 "Must Haves"? I am gonna try and keep it simple by limiting it to only 1 entry per franchise to increase diversity. Game Hacks are also welcome if you find it awesome to play.

Mine are:

1. KOF 2002
2. Real Bout FF 2
3. Samurai Shodown 2
4. Last Blade 2
5. SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom

I don't even bother here, all of these questions have been beaten to death. Really any question related to Neo at this point on these forums has been asked so many times I kind of understand the disinterest of the veteran members. I just search old forum posts and mostly read.

If I could only have five fighting games on the neo it would probably be this list.

1. Fatal Fury Special

2. Karnov's Revenge/Fighters History Dynamite

3. Breakers Revenge

4. The King of Fighters 98

5. Double Dragon

If i had more space World Heroes Perfect is pretty fun as well.

10 years ago I would have said Mark of the Wolves and Last Blade. At the moment I only really care about KOF99 and Real Bout. Looking forward to comparing Breakers to Breakers Revenge, though.

I just got the Real Bouts (Special and 2) and look forward to playing them.

great games. real bout 1 is probably my personal favourite neo game of all time, and most agree that real bout 2 and special are some of the best fighters on the system.

I LOVE King of the Monsters. But isn't that more of a wrestling game than a fighter? Almost like a beat 'em up but with only a single opponent.

I would say that it's fair game to list here. Aggressors of Dark Kombat also has a lot of Beat em Up gameplay elements to it as well but I would say it's still a VS fighter.
