Play like Rufus in SF4 and just divekick everywhere, older beat-em-ups can't handle that shit haha.
I have 1CC a lot of beat-em-ups but a lot of them were on emulators like MAME because finding an actual machine is rare these days. In an actual arcade, I have 1CC MVC1 and MVC2. I 2cc Time Crisis 2 before, I think I can eventually get it down to 1 CC because I messed up at the last stage with all the rocket launchers...
edit: Also like the poster above me, I 1 CC Megaman Power Fighters with my brother when I was in elementary school. Game is pretty easy and I'm sure I can do it solo.
more edit: Expanding this list because some of these other posts reminded me of stuff. I 1CC Soul Calibur 1 and 2 in the arcade.

Only thing was Marvel Vs Capcom 2. Arcades are rough for people like me that suck at games.

I used to be really, really good at Time Crisis 2. I can't quite remember if I was good enough to do it on just a single coin, but it was close at least. Other than that I never really played other arcade games as obsessively, aside from my love for DDR, which I'm not even all that good at.

X-Men Vs. Street Fighter is the only game I've ever been able to consistently do this with. Rogue/Cammy all day, erry day.
I remember there being a guy that would always roll up to the MvC1 machine at my local pizza shop and 1CC the game using Roll and another filler character.

How long did it take you to suss out you got bonus points for only melee attacks and not throwing a shiriken? A friend and I played the game religiously till we 1cc'd it then one day when we saw Shinobi in another part of the city we noticed the highest score was a few hundred thousand higher than our best. Once we found out the secret we ended up relearning the entire game from scratch till we could 1cc it. I think from memory excluding boss stages there was only a couple that were impossible to do.
Diferent stuff.
I completed lots of arcade games .... but only a few fighting games like X-Men vs Street (fuck yeah flying storm typhoon) with just one coin
First post nailed it. I love Time Crisis, but memorization of enemy placement happens fairly quickly. Still, 2 may be my favorite arcade game of all time and I have great memories of riding my bike to the arcade as a kid and feeding tokens to whoever jumped in to co-op with me.

Mat Mania. The old arcade wrestling game in which you had to defeat Insane Warrior, Karate Fighter, Coco Savage, The Pirania and Blues Bloody. No, never heard of Golden Hulk.

Mostly just fighting games. For a good stretch of the 90s that's practically all I played(KI-KI2, MK3/UMK3, Marvel, etc.
I 1CCed/1-lifed a Darius 1 machine, but that was at a local gamestore.
I didn't get into playing-for-1CC until I discovered MAME.
(Even now I'm still not much good)

Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, when I was visiting England no less. It must've been turned down, because Cyber-Akuma was cheater-tier in the home version I'd played before, so I'd expected to get destroyed by him.
Think I did it with Marvel vs Capcom a bit. I played it a lot on my college campus, and got really good at cheesing the final bosses. Honestly, Hulk was harder in that game than the boss sometimes.

Basically all the fighting games; I was a beast back in the day. Dragon's Lair, Space Ace. I used to reset Centipede, Millipede, and Robotron several times in a row; always had the high score at my arcade, and if someone beat it we would do battle, with everyone watching. Those were the days, lol!

I made it to level 4 on Ikaruga when I was in Japan some years ago. It's doubly a miracle because I've never done that on the console versions. I usually need a few warmup games.

Bubble bobble
Strider (could finish it without dying, but parts of the final stage were a bit random)
Double Dragon (also with a single life, but resorting to the elbow exploit) duh, same as OP
Contra/Gryzor
Super Contra
Most fighters
Haunted Castle
Made it to the final stage in Parodius.
Something else probably
Edit:
Double Dragon 2 (elbow didn't work there though)
Combat School
Forgotten Worlds (2p coop only though)
POW

Crazy licence in Crazy Taxi arcade is the only thing I've done like this.
I could play for over an hour on a single credit.

Did it one time with a MvC2 arcade machine back when I was a kid.
Apparently the AI didn't know what to do with spamming buttons, because that's how I managed to pull it off.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I honestly have no idea how this is even possible. I play this game all the time and it's brutally hard.

Progear
I actually hold the record at GGA for it - they say it's a world record but they use aurcade and the actually WR holders have my score beat by about 200mil+. I actually own the PCB and play it frequently tho (is that cheating?). I have a list of my 1CCs but none of them were in arcades like Progear... but on my cab/supergun instead.

I literally memorized every step of that game. I'd play as far as I could with one quarter then start from the beginning to maximize my playtime. I only ever did it once and consider it one of my crowning game achievements.
First one I ever finished with 1cc was the Darkstalkers 2, and the Samurai Showdown 2, then SF2. From then on, it was mostly other fighting games, and rhythm games like drummania and guitar freaks.
I never really saw the point of continuing by adding another credit since I felt that I wasn't getting my money's worth if I didnt start from the beginning.
I've nearly 1cc'ed Gigawing, and Dodonpachi, but I always ran out of ships at the last boss. Arcades were fun back then.

In another time we would've been great friends.
Well, you do have a Shenmue avatar
Yeah it appears we were playing a lot of the same games. Spent way too much time in the arcades between 1986 and 1996, but man I'm glad I didn't miss those years.
