Obscure Fighting Games With Insane Soundtracks

Same as the racing one, less than 100 plays, generally avoiding Capcom/SNK stuff and no Daisuke Ishiwatari.

Open to suggestions as always.

Very low-key for a fighter, but strangely nice.

You laugh, you SCOFF at the fact I'm putting a DBZ game on the list. But this thing is at 45 plays as of this writing.

Breaking the rules a bit with this one, but it's below 50 plays and in general I don't think many people at all played this.

Awkward moment where you remember Rise of the Robots got a sequel and they went out of their way to avoid the original title.

Your lists have literally taught me that there was a Zero Divide 2 AND a Rise of the Robots 2, wtf

@detch do your worst

@cheddar that's what happens I guess when your releases either never make it state-side or they literally change the name to avoid association with the last flop of a game. Rise 2 I found out via Super Best Friends, rip.

I remember the Asuka Burning Fest game on PS1 having some really catchy and bubbly tunes

Knew Dragon's Blues would be the RotD sample. What a tune. Very glad to see Matrimelee on here also!
Everyone should listen to the final boss theme from Power Instinct 2
