Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors

Competing against other players

Celebrity Deathmatch

Distinctive, stylised art style

A wrestling-style brawler based on MTV's claymation series, where celebrity caricatures battle in the ring with absurd weapons like chainsaws and crossbows. Its appeal lies in crude humor and the clay-animation look.

Nidhogg 2

Competing against other players

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
