Best PSP Fighting Games of All Time

We already published the list of best PSP games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best PSP fighting games of all time.

With amazing titles available, the PSP definitely has a great library of fighting games.

So, if you’re a fan of both the PSP and fighting games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.

And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.

#10. Guilty Gear Judgment

Guilty Gear Judgment
  • Release Data: Arc System Works/Majesco, 2006
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

Ultimately, this package is fairly well suited to the PSP, as the beat-’em-up game is ideal for quick sessions, while the fighting game can keep you busy trying to master a variety of tough combos.

Chances are you’re already a fan of the Guilty Gear series if you’re interested in this game, and you’ll probably like this installment too.

#9. Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower

Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower
  • Release Data: Capcom, 2005
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

It’s already widely known that the Sony PSP is capable of pulling off some impressive-looking 3D graphics.

What’s less obvious is how well it can pull off a 2D game like Darkstalkers Chronicle, whose artwork somehow comes off looking more vibrant than ever in this portable form.

#8. Def Jam: Fight for NY: The Takeover

Def Jam: Fight for NY: The Takeover
  • Release Data: Aki Corp./EA Games, 2006
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 3D

What it boils down to with this game is that if you already took the plunge with the original Fight for NY, there’s nothing particularly pressing about this PSP version.

However, if you did happen to miss out on that game, The Takeover proves to be a great way to get acquainted with what you missed out on.

#7. Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy

Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy
  • Release Data: Square Enix, 2011
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 3D

Some of the fundamentals still need some extensive work, but this game casts a powerful net—one that keeps you trapped for hours at a time, crushing your opponents so you might earn another bangle, another dagger, and another vibrant battlefield.

#6. SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny

SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny
  • Release Data: Bandai Namco Games/Namco Bandai Games, 2009
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 3D

Because the bulk of its single-player content is best suited to players who already have some SoulCalibur experience, Broken Destiny isn’t quite as easy to recommend to newcomers.

However, if you’re already comfortable with SoulCalibur or with similar 3D fighting systems and can live with the lack of online play, there’s really no reason you shouldn’t pick this one.

#5. Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX

Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX
  • Release Data: Capcom, 2006
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

The Alpha series of Street Fighter games is as gorgeous as it is deep and engaging and this is no different with Alpha 3 MAX which is perhaps the purest distillation of old-school Street Fighter gaming out there.

Basically, this game is a touchstone for people who miss the way Capcom used to make arcade fighters.

#4. Dissidia: Final Fantasy

Dissidia: Final Fantasy
  • Release Data: Square Enix, 2009
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 3D

Take all of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and put them into game and that’s this in a nutshell.

The combat is realized in amazing 3D glory and the move anywhere feel mimics Dragon Ball and other magic-based fighters out there.

It’s initially somewhat complicated to understand but, once you get it, you won’t want to put it down.

#3. BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Portable

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Portable
  • Release Data: Arc System Works, 2010
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D

Aside from its astonishingly beautiful graphics, BlazBlue is like a fighting game with a RPG storyline that not only takes itself seriously but is an exceptionally deep game.

The fighting system takes some getting used to but it is unique enough to justify this learning curve.

#2. Tekken 6

Tekken 6
  • Release Data: Namco Bandai Games, 2009
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 3D

Tekken 6 takes its lore very seriously which is hilarious since it is some of the most bonkers stuff out there.

But it’s all in good fun. After all, no one plays a fighting game for the lore.

If you find yourself with a hankering for some hardcore Tekken portable action, this title fits the bill.

#1. Tekken: Dark Resurrection

Tekken: Dark Resurrection
  • Release Data: Namco Bandai Games, 2006
  • Genre: Action » Fighting » 3D

Tekken’s intense arcade fighting action is brought to the next level in this game that feels like it was built from the ground up for the portable system.

Everything you’d expect in a major fighter is here and Tekken’s penchant for crazy storylines and endless challenges is also here.

Hi, I'm R, and I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first console was the original PlayStation (the gray one) and I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot series and Spyro series. My second console was the PS2 Fat, and I completed all of the GTA series 100%.
