Legit asking: what indie fighting games are there? I would like to expand into that niche more.

Like the other person said, you have plenty of options, especially if you're willing to include platform fighters like Rivals of Aether 1&2 and Slap City. Skullgirls is legit if you don't mind your female characters "breasting boobily".

Thanks for the recs! Slap City looks very SSB so I'm in.

Also as someone who grew up playing SoulCalibur as the only fighting game in the house, I have become so numb to video game characters "breasting boobily" it's a bit alarming...

Yeah smash bros brawl was my childhood game. If you like how slap city looks you could check out Fraymakers too, that one's in alpha right now but it looks promising.

If I had the time, patience, and network to learn a new fighting game it'd probably be the newest Guilty Gear though. Breaking someone's neck with a coffin-flail looks like so much fun.

I actually got into Strive over the pandemic, and that's what started my interest into new types of fighting games. I really enjoyed the character designs and game mechanics, and the online community doesn't feel too toxic for a fighting game. I would recommend it if you ever have the time!

I’m not much af a fighting game person but I would second skullgirls just for the art/music design alone. It has a charm that I really liked.

Melty Blood might count. Does UNIB count? Skullgirls and Fighting Herds? There are a couple.

Thanks for the list! I'll check them out on Steam and hopefully the "recommended for you" algo does the rest. A couple of my friends already own Under Night, so I might start there.
