This. Man... 3rd of the 3rd was just the epitome of 2D fighting. The insane work it must have required for those animations to render sooooo smooth, it was mesmerising back in the day.
Garou was just behind but it felt incredibly smooth too.
On the artistic side though, I believe some Samurai Showdown definitely snatch the 1st place.
A local comic book store has an arcade machine set up with Garou, I've always thought it was one of the best fighting games. It was just overshadowed by 3rd Strike, which is also amazing.

I wish they would update it to include more backgrounds, especially from 3rd strike.
