These are great, and not surprising they're all 2D. I still haven't seen a fighter with 3D backgrounds that are as pleasing to the eye as 2D fighters.

Pixel art backgrounds are the legit best, I love all of the ones from MVC1 and Third Strike, but something is to be said about SNKs work in this regard.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

It's not fighting games, but since we're in the middle of appreciating pixel art, do yourself a favor and look up the works of Mark J. Ferrari. He also has a really interesting website where you can look at a ton of his meticulously animated illustrations and speed them up, slow them down, view them with sound matching the imagery, and see exactly how the palette cycling he did so beautifully was created for each image. Links are here and here.

Mark Ferrari has some real credentials going back, he made background art with 16 color palettes look way better than people thought it could, including this:

Yep, they somehow managed to port SF2 to the commodore 64 when most people were playing it at home on the SNES or Genesis/Megadrive.

The controls suffer mainly because there is only one fire button instead of six available. Between the single stages and the animated map there are significant loading times.

Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 had some kickass backgrounds I need to go snag. Admittedly I just wanted to type out its whole title.
