Behind the Pixels - Week 25 - Fighter Game Edition


Games discovered between Monday, June 16 and Sunday June 22, 2025

This week has been a bit of a tough one, with work taking a front seat to personal time. Due to this it was difficult for me to do the normal weekly “game hunting” that I do to put Behind the Pixels weekly post together. 

In saying that this week I have been thinking a lot about fighting games and speaking to my son we both agree, there are many aspects when it comes to fighting games but for us it is all about the characters or should I say “Fighters”. 

I came across this blog on PlayStation but below are a few of the games that we think or I think the characters look really cool.



Super Smash Bros Ultimate 

Switch

Released Date: December 7, 2018 

When it comes to fighting game characters this games is one of our favorites.



Street Fighter 6

PS4 | PS5 | Steam | Xbox Series X/S

Released Date: June 2, 2023 

Street Fighter is my favorite fighting game franchise, it features my "digital crush" Chun-Li who was the first Kung-fu fighting female in the fighting game genre. My son loves E. Honda who always defeats me in Street Fighter II.




Mortal Kombat 1

PS5 | "Switch" | Steam | Xbox Series X/S

Released Date: September 19, 2023 

We both enjoy Mortal Kombat and we can't wait for it to come to the Switch, it's an inside joke with us, we know it's on the switch but the performance is lets say very very non-kombatish.




Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero

PS5 | Steam | Xbox Series X/S

Released Date: October 11, 2024

He is an absolute Dragon Ball fan and that is all I'm saying.



SkullGirls 2nd Encore

PS4 | PS5 | Switch | Steam | Xbox Series X/S

Released Date: August 22, 2013

This always comes up on my to play list, but I still haven't, love the artwork.



Them's Fightin' Herds

PS4 | PS5 | Switch | Steam | Xbox One | Xbox Series X/S

Released Date: May 1, 2020

This is if My Little Pony had a fighting game, absolutely love the idea and artwork.
