Nothing compared to M M M MILLIONAIRE FIGHTING 2001 IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE being upfront about just how many fucking chars you can be.

I fucking love group shots where you highlight different chars, so much soul. FF3 here being the best.

Mostly because of the music, it screams 90s arcade fighting game.

Welcome to the stage of history!

Most of my favorites don't do anything special, they're just real classy. I don't really like gimmicky character selects.

not exactly a Character Select like in a fighting game, but your mech is basically your "character" and you "select" parts for it in the garage in the main menu so I think it counts. and this god-tier music plays:
