3. Dragon Ball FighterZ
The void created by the absence of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi is like an elephant in a room: impossible not to perceive. And it is that, since we enjoyed its last iteration more than a decade ago, the work of Akira Toriyama had not amazed us again within our world but until Dragon Ball FighterZ; a game that, while not Budokai Tenkaichi, does not need or seek it.
Instead, the work bets on fighting in a lateral direction where a blink at the wrong time can be an actual defeat, causing it not only to be a vibrant and exciting product, endowed with a great tactical component but also is the one that holds the title of best visual representation of DBZ in a video game.

Its single-player modes are extensive, and its character creation system gives it a sometimes comical point. But more importantly, it’s just a pleasure to play SoulCalibur VI, and the distinctive 8-way multidirectional movement system makes it a great choice.
5. Mortal Kombat 11

The Unreal Engine 3 did justice by showing how graphically stunning it can make a game look when used correctly. This iteration comes with Fatalities and Brutalities and new game features like Fatal Blows and Crushing Blows. Another important factor that gives the game a first-class status is the incredible audio, but it should not be surpassed by the captivating Story mode.
6. BlazBlue Centralfiction
A very attractive 2D fighter, BlazBlue: Central Fiction supposedly culminates the mental history of the series. As you’d expect in an Arc System Works title, Combo-based combat is tight, fast, and as complex as you want it to be.

As for gameplay, Samurai Showdown in its new version is still based on the starting philosophy which favors the staging of knife fights, facilitated among other things by simple commands to remember which allow you to manage the intensity of your shots.

Of course, DC characters don’t like everyone, but the list is packed with personality and variety, and the effort that has gone into making each fighter appear faithful to the original material is impressive.
