fighting game
A fighting game usually refers to games that have two players or a player and a cpu fighting against each other with the winner usually being decided by a best of 3, although there are exceptions of fighting games that have a tag team or a 2v2/3v3 mode such as King of Fighters or Kizuna Encounter. The games under this genre involve characters with basic moves that change how they attack the opponent depending if the character is crouching, standing, close to the opponent, or in the air, have special attacks unique to them with specific inputs, and super moves to give them an advantage. Fighting games have up to 6 buttons at most and depending on the game, the player has to hold either a button or the opposite direction of where their character is facing to block.
