Fighting games have always been a mainstay in video game culture. From the earliest arcade and console games, the typically 2-dimensional format has endured through the years.
Following up from a popular 4chan thread a few months back (on /v/ and /vr/), Redditor RudeBootie (who was the same person that originally posted them to 4chan) uploaded an epic collection of 125 fighting game backgrounds as animated gifs to Imgur.
Games included in this unbelievable collection are: Vampire Savior, Street Fighter 2: Super Turbo, Street Fighter: Alpha 3, Street Fighter: Third Strike, The Art of Fighting, Last Blade, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, King of Fighters and Samurai Showdown.
With your help, it would be great to label and identify as many of the levels as possible. If you know the game/level one of the backgrounds below is from, please advise in the comment section! And be sure to visit Imgur for the complete 125-picture gallery.
