Game Overview

Okay, so Matrimelee is this weird, over-the-top Neo Geo fighting game that feels like someone threw anime, pro wrestling, and a fever dream into a blender. You’ve got characters like a bride who fights with her wedding bouquet and a dude who looks like he walked out of a heavy metal album cover. The moves are ridiculous, the outfits are even more ridiculous, and the announcer screams everything like it’s the hypest moment of his life.

At first glance, it seems like just another 2D fighter, but then you realize half the cast has command grabs that take up half the screen, and the damage output is absolutely bonkers. Matches don’t last long—either you’re getting juggled into oblivion or you’re the one doing the juggling. It’s chaotic, unbalanced, and honestly kind of glorious because of it.

If you’re into fighters that don’t take themselves too seriously and just want to throw hands in the dumbest way possible, this one’s a riot. Just don’t expect anything resembling balance or subtlety.
