AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Street Fighter 6

Like Dead or Alive 5, this game offers a modern take on classic fighting game mechanics, emphasizing precise inputs, character-specific moves, and a vibrant roster, but with a deeper focus on competitive esports.

Guilty Gear Strive

Swap the realistic martial arts of Dead or Alive 5 for an anime-inspired, heavy metal aesthetic, but retain the core of high-octane, combo-driven fighting with a strong emphasis on character expression and competitive play.

Mortal Kombat 1

If you appreciate Dead or Alive's focus on character variety and impactful strikes, Mortal Kombat 1 offers a similar blend but with a darker, more brutal aesthetic and a unique 'Kameo' system for added combat depth.
