Everyone knows such legendary fighting game series as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. Apart from them, you can find many less known excellent games of this type, such as King Of Fighters, Granblue/Blaz Blue or Marvel vs Capcom.

In the past, fighting games were the domain of consoles, but now not only are games created simultaneously for all platforms, but many old hits are also ported to PC.

In this collection you will find not only the most famous fighting games for local PvP, but also other, slightly less popular titles, which are definitely worth playing.

• 6. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
• 5. Granblue Fantasy Versus

• 1. Tekken 8

The first place is deservedly taken by Tekken 8, which turned out to be an excellent production, unlike the last installment of Mortal Kombat, which aroused mixed emotions.

Other titles with a local competition mode include the immortal Street Fighter, the Samurai Shodown reboot, and the latest installment of King Of Fighters. All of the games above feature an offline PvP mode, but most also feature online play with other players.

Above games were tested on PC, with two Xbox gamepads. I do not guarantee the local multiplayer will work using one gamepad and a keyboard and mouse set.
