Capcom Gundam fighting game goodness

You're talking about those Gundam Vs Gundam games, not Gundam Battle Assault, right? I loved the Gundam Battle Assault games, but they're probably kinda bad in retrospect lol.

Most of the PS2 Gundam games are pretty solid adaptations. I remember Robotech: Battlecry from the same era being pretty neat (and had a nice cell-shaded style, too).

I like some of the Sailor Moon beat-em-ups (Sailor Moon R on the SNES and Sailor Moon on the Genesis come to mind) and some of the Macross shooters. The Magic Knight Rayearth JRPG was something I have fond memories of, but I haven't played it in 10-15+ years.

The Cowboy Bebop game for PSX is a kinda disappointing rail shooter.

Stuff I've been meaning to try, but haven't had the patience to play (since they're in Japanese with no English patch that I know of): a bunch of Votoms games, the Gunbuster PS2 game, Gihren's Greed, the Utena game on Sega Saturn.

I remember a lot of good Dragonball Z games. Budokai Tenkaichi (I think?) on PS2, and Legacy of Goku 2 + Buu's Fury on GBA in particular were a good time.

One Piece Pirate Warriors is very head-empty, even for a musou game, but it's still dumb fun.

Didn't really play enough to have a "most hated".

I remember that one Yugioh TBS game (Capsule Coliseum pretty sure) which I used to love as a kid even if I couldn't understand the mechanics and just winged it. Aside from that... can't think of anything else, except the inverted case (games that were later given anime adaptations).
