Are there any good ones at all. I'm talking about games comparable to Capcom side scroll kick and punch. Everyone I've tried just kinda sucks... IMHO.

Sengoku 3 I hear is good but found it MEH on a multicart.

Opinions solicited... even from Greece!
wait, what did I just say?
 
The Sengoku series is the only thing that comes to my mind, but I like 1 and 2 more as a guilty pleasure/nostalgia than a particularly good beat-em-up (OMG...I just helped you invoke the opinions of Greece with that). Everyone gushes over 3, but I didn't see the big deal either. Improved combat system, but I was left kinda bored. It felt like they should have pushed things a lot further for 2001.

Burning Fight gets honorable mention...just because it is cheesy. Robo Army is double cheese. :)
 
I heard Sengoku 2 is the best in the series but haven't played it recently. Burning Fight is a good game, total Final Fight rip off, cheesy but fun IMO. Should be in the multicart, which one do you have? I have the 100 in 1.

I stick to Streets of rage 1 and 2 on the Genesis for my side scroll beat em ups! :D

Haha we wrote this almost at the same time.......Go for cheese!

I think the neo's strong point is its fighters, love me some KOF and Fatal Fury action!
 
Guys I grew up playing in the house of Capcom and even went to work there.
the SNK beat em ups just couldn't hold up in gameplay and graphics.

I want something in my MVS cart collection just for the genre but seriously I'm not going to settle. I've looked all of those mentions in the past but they are all just poorly developed filler titles that SNK ordered for sub part dev teams that couldn't get jobs at bigger arcade publishers.
