Extremely underrated GBC fighter that does not at all feel like it should be possible, and somehow it is anyway - other than a weird input buffer this would have been considered an all time fighting game if it was released anywhere but a handheld.

Rock solid controls, serious depth (did you know this game has guard cancels?), a ton of fun to play, and an unbelievably banger soundtrack by sven maz and Koichi Fujiwara that deserves to go down as some of the greatest chiptunes in history. And it has an RPG story mode on top of that! It's a game that goes above and beyond in so many ways that it's a huge shame that it wasn't successful enough to get a follow up or a remake.
