Fighting games subsequently became the preeminent genre for competitive video gaming in the early to mid-1990s, particularly in arcades. In 1987, Capcom's Street Fighter introduced special attacks, and in 1991, its highly successful sequel Street Fighter II refined and popularized many of the conventions of the genre, including the introduction of the concept of combos. Released later the same year, Yie Ar Kung-Fu featured antagonists with differing fighting styles and introduced health meters, while The Way of the Exploding Fist, which was released the following year, further popularized the genre on home systems. The first video game to feature fist fighting was Heavyweight Champ in 1976, but it was Karate Champ that popularized the one-on-one fighting game genre in arcades in 1984. Some games, such as Tekken, also allow limited movement in 3D space. Characters can navigate this plane horizontally by walking or dashing, and vertically by jumping. The fighting game genre is related to, but distinct from, the beat 'em up genre, which pits large numbers of computer-controlled enemies against one or more player characters.īattles in fighting games usually take place in a fixed-size arena along a two-dimensional plane, to which the characters' movement is restricted. Characters generally engage in battle using hand-to-hand combat-often some form of martial arts. Fighting game combat often features mechanics such as blocking, grappling, counter-attacking, and chaining attacks together into ' combos'.

A fighting game, also known as a versus fighting game, is a genre of video game that involves combat between two or more players.
