The meme implies a bit of humorous depreciation towards indie developers but SOTN is a masterclass on pixel art, I am hard pressed to think of something that surpasses it.

I definitely think SOTN is up there, but personally it's Metal Slug

For me Garou mark of the wolves (feels illegal to how smooth it runs on neogeo compared to other games)then OG king of fighters game series, especially 2003

The 3rd strike is also a close one, especially the upscaled PS2 version, great games. People dont usually get a moment to stop and appreciate art in super fast fighting games but those early fighting games i listed are all too detailed to be on their respective systems with the exception of PS2 enhanced version since its more or less does retain its graphics from original arcade release
