Does ANYONE do arcade games better than these guys? I doubt it.
I would argue NeoGeo
Capcom and Namco

They made daytona USA. Enough said.
AM2 and Yu Suzuki are devs that can do no wrong. Literally everything they touch turns to gold.
They also made F Zero GX and AX.

That was Amusement Vision. Unless there's some connection between them and AM2 I'm not aware of.

Depends on the year range. Mid-late 80s Sega was fucking on point and had zero competition, 1990-1992 Sega had some oddly weak releases with some solid ones in there, and then there was Sega's long-ass golden age from 1993-1998, spearheaded by AM2's fantastic releases and some of the best hardware money could buy.
Taito did some crazy shit in the early 90s (like, 1990-1995), fucking loved those guys before they decided to stop fucking actually making games sometime in the late 90s -- they released things, but they didn't really seem to be the major force they used to be. Maybe not Sega/AM2 good, but definitely high tier. Had some really impressive games that competed with Sega's Super Scaler stuff.
Namco seemed to be in this pseudo-rivalry with Sega, there's a bunch of games that seemed like direct responses to something Sega released in the arcade, and had the quality to back it up.
I'm trying to think of other big, top-quality arcade devs and it's hard.
There's some mid-range ones I like a lot, such as Data East and Irem coming to mind, but nothing like the big trifecta of Sega, Taito, and Namco.
Man, Sega's Model 2 and Model 3 era was fucking wild, I don't think we'll ever see quality like that ever again.
>tfw AM2 is being squandered right now and hasn't worked on shit in forever
life is suffering

And SEGA will never bring the excellent xbla version of Daytona USA to PC.
I fucking despise this company.
You have ten seconds to explain why you've never played Daytona USA 2.

I have a toaster. Supermodel runs at like 20fps for me.

Tfw no Good PC, Saturn or Dreamcast so I can't play Daytona 2 or any of the new content added in the updated versions of the original
