A weapon-based 2D fighter where a few heavy sword strikes decide each duel and every mistake is punished. Its brushstroke art style and emphasis on spacing, timing and parries set it apart.

Samurai Shodown III

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A weapon-based one-on-one fighter set in feudal Japan where heavy sword strikes, precise parries and timing decide every duel. Its darker tone and redesigned cast set the third entry apart from its more playful predecessors.

SoulCalibur VI

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 3D weapons-based fighter where duels are decided by spacing, guarding and well-timed counters. Its story mode retells the first SoulCalibur, but versus matches and the character creator are the real draw.
