Fatal Fury is a fighting game developed by SNK and released for arcades in 1991. Players choose from a roster of martial artists and compete in one-on-one battles using punches, kicks, and special moves. The game introduced a two-plane fighting system that allows characters to move between foreground and background lanes. Its story follows Terry Bogard and his allies as they challenge the crime lord Geese Howard.
The plot of Fatal Fury centers around a martial arts tournament known as the "King of Fighters" tournament, held in the fictional American city of South Town and sponsored by local crime boss Geese Howard. Ten years before the events of the game, Geese murdered a rival martial artist named Jeff Bogard, who was on his trail. Now, Jeff's adopted sons, Terry Bogard and Andy Bogard, along with their friend Joe Higashi, enter the tournament to get their revenge on Geese.

SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos primarily utilizes the command system of The King of Fighters series, incorporating light/strong kicks, punches, cancels and charging attacks. Unlike its predecessor, Capcom vs. SNK 2, this game lacks both air guards and a "groove system", instead focusing on quicker gameplay. Characters are provided with a basic 3-level bar system for executing super-special attacks with basic filling options attributed to strikes and damage. Additionally, the sprites from the various series received new models and some special effects were changed in the command lists (for example, the player cannot increase the damage of the Zujou Sashi used by Choi Bounge by tapping the buttons anymore).

Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty is Fuuki's first of two attempts at making a one-on-one 2D fighting game; its sequel, Asura Buster, is the second. The story revolves around the search for the eponymous Sword of Dynasty in a war-torn world. The game features eight playable characters, as well as two boss characters, only briefly usable in single-player mode using codes. It uses a simple three-button control scheme and sticks to more basic motion inputs for its roster's special moves, for greater accessibility. Its colorful visuals and detailed background art take inspiration from contemporary entries in the Darkstalkers and Street Fighter Alpha series.

Karnov's Revenge, also known as "Fighter's History Dynamite" in Japan, is a 1994 arcade fighting game, and the followup to Fighter's History. All returning characters have new moves, and Clown and Karnov are now playable characters while newcomers Zazie and Yungmie were introduced. The Super Famicom game "Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!!" is heavily based on Dynamite, and is believed to have been meant as a port. Dynamite itself would be ported to the Sega Saturn, and Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! was even thrown in as a bonus.

Street Fighter II: Champion Edition is a competitive fighting game released for the arcades by Capcom in 1992. It was the first of several updates to the original Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. The main changes consisted of adding the Grand Masters (the final four computer-controlled opponents in single-player mode) as playable characters and mirror matches (same character vs same character). The fighting techniques of the eight main characters from the original game were also further refined to allow for more balanced competitive play. The Champion Edition was followed by Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting, released several months later.

Street Fighter II for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System is a home console port of Capcom’s arcade fighting game. It retains the one-on-one fighting structure, eight playable World Warriors, four boss opponents, and special-move system from the arcade version. The port adapts the arcade game for the SNES/Super Famicom hardware, with reduced animation, altered audio, and some presentation changes. Unlike most earlier home computer conversions, it is a relatively close version of the arcade game, using the console’s six-button controller layout to reproduce the original punch and kick controls more directly.

An arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV was released by Capcom in December 2010, titled Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. Arcade Edition added Yun, Yang, Evil Ryu and Oni to the roster, as well as changes to the existing characters.

The 16-bit conversion of Super Street Fighter II, while featuring graphical and sound concession compared to the arcade version, features game-play largely the same as the original, including the new game-play modes, and selectable game speed brought over from Turbo.

Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers is a 2D fighting game that expands the original Street Fighter II roster with four new characters: Cammy, Dee Jay, T. Hawk, and Fei Long. Players choose from 16 fighters, each with unique moves, to compete in one-on-one matches. The game introduces updated graphics, rebalanced gameplay, and new special moves, continuing the World Warrior Tournament storyline.
