Choose from fighting games

For a quick timing challenge, try a meter-based duel. For stages with groups of enemies, choose a brawler. Check the linked edition before playing: several classic entries lead to official installed releases rather than a browser player.

Look for “Play here”, “External browser game”, “Official release” or “Cloud streaming” on the game card, then check the detail page for the current requirements.
