I've been playing a lot of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy lately and it seems like it has a number of improvements over the arcade release. I'm curious what other ports people find particularly good.

On a casual level, I prefer Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO over the arcade version. I totally get why the competitive community stuck with the arcade, but at least casually I'd rather not deal with roll canceling.

I never got very good with arcade fighters. The only one I've ever been okay at was Soul Calibur 2, but I don't know if that actually had a cabinet or not. I've never seen one if it does. Makes me feel like I kinda missed out on a big chunk of the arcade loving community. But I know if I ever go against anyone who knows what they are doing, I will get my ass handed to me lol.
