Ol' Skool Brawlerz

"Some" of my fav punch-a-tons, kick-a-thons and slash-a-thons in no particular order.

Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry
Anime Resident Evil
Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 2
Bonafide classic. Upon further inspection, music isn't as cool as 1's.
Yakuza 2
Yakuza 2
Isn't as crazy as Spike Out above but it's simple enough and engaging to fool around plus a pretty cool story. Exploration is the key for the REAL big dick brawling.
Ninja Gaiden Black
Ninja Gaiden Black
I haven't played the Ninja Gaiden Chuuuuu doooe for 360 so I'll put the less coked up first game here for now.
River City Ransom
River City Ransom
Coolio rpg brawler
Final Fight 3
Final Fight 3
Controls are the best of the series and introduces Street Fighter 5's Lucia Morgan.
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny
Samurai Resident Evil
Golden Axe III
Golden Axe III
Same deal as Peace Keepers with alternate paths. But not a single cop in sight.
Double Dragon II: The Revenge
Double Dragon II: The Revenge
NES version better
Kurohyou: Ryuu ga Gotoku Shinshou
Kurohyou: Ryuu ga Gotoku Shinshou
Delinquent protag in a Yakuza game. Pretty cool.
Urban Reign
Urban Reign
One of the more polished brawlers mechanically. Depth doesn't necessarily come from how many times you punch a dude. Brutally hard but satisfying. Multiplayer fun as fuck.
Dynamite Cop
Dynamite Cop
Another Coke-fiend classic on dreamcast.
SpikeOut: Digital Battle Online
SpikeOut: Digital Battle Online
Created by a coke-fiend
The Peace Keepers
The Peace Keepers
Japanese version better.
Alternate paths out the ass and vary per character. You get a color editor for all players and enemies. Music is nice too.
Crisis Beat
Crisis Beat
Ryo, what are you doing on that boat?
Ninja Warriors Once Again
Ninja Warriors Once Again
Good remaster of a good remake of a pretty bare arcade game.
Genma Onimusha
Genma Onimusha
Samurai Resident Evil: Get Good Edition
Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun: Kunio-tachi no Banka
Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun: Kunio-tachi no Banka
The protags of River City Girls get shot.
Guardians: Denjin Makai II
Guardians: Denjin Makai II
One of the most polished 2D mashing-a-thons on arcade. Looks nice and plays nice. Plus, lots of dudes to choose from.
Gaia Crusaders
Gaia Crusaders
Music is jammin'.
Spikeout: Battle Street
Spikeout: Battle Street
Coke-fiend game with more characters
Beat Down: Fists of Vengence
Beat Down: Fists of Vengence
I can customize my character to look like that one guy from Nickleback
The Gladiator: Road of the Sword
The Gladiator: Road of the Sword
China's finest offerings.
