	Fighting game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fighting games or fighters are video games in which players fight each other or computer-controlled enemies, usually employing some variation of the martial arts.
		Weapons-emphasized games have a plethora of martial-arts weapons (such as nunchaku and shuriken) as well as other types of weapons that are already at the player's disposal or can be found as the player progresses through the game.
		The major innovation that in the modern games is the introduction of combo, and versus fighting game style moves to execute various attacks.

		Fighting games or fighters are video games in which players fight each other or computer enemies, usually employing some variation of the martial arts.
		In this type of fighting game, also known as a brawler, one or more players (most often two, but sometimes as many as six) each choose a unique character, and team up to punch, kick, throw and slash their way through a horde of computer-controlled enemies.
		These games are charterized by added depth via a variety of missions, much more gunplay (and fighting abilities that involve guns such as disarming moves), and slow-down/"berserk mode" abilities.

	Fighting Fantasy Game Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fighting Fantasy series distinguished itself by the use of a dice mechanic used to resolve combat and other situations, not dissimilar to that used in Dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games, though far simpler.
		In 1984 a number of Fighting Fantasy videogames were released for the Commodore 64, Amstrad, BBC, and Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
		The Fighting Fantasy series were the first ever gamebooks to employ a dice mechanic, a random element which contributed hugely to the suspense and the enjoyment of the play experience.

	GameSpy.com - Review
		Soul Calibur was more than just a fighting game or a sequel to Soul Blade; it was one of those games that raises the bar for an entire genre and makes people reconsider what games can do.
		Fighting games typically incrementally upgrade from sequel to sequel, but the original Soul Calibur absolutely destroyed the memory of its predecessor, PlayStation's Soul Blade.
		The addition of weapons to the fighting game mix has put the Soul Calibur series in its own arena; the intensity of clashing blades and the strategies afforded by their behaviors makes the game feel more visceral than any of the other fighters on the market.

	Fighting - GameGarage.co.uk
		Fight the evil enemies and return the Princess to the King of the southern lands.
		A really difficult fighting game with four levels which you have to complete to get into the Hall of fame.
		Robot fighting fun is all this game is about, dodge and block your opponents punches, whilst taking your opportunity to get in a quick jab when they let their guard down.

		Kung Fu Master was an arcade game developed by the Japanese company Irem Corporation in 1984 and manufactured under licence in the United States by Data East USA, Inc....
		Irem (ã‚¢ã‚¤ãƒ¬ãƒ;) is a Japanese video game console developer and publisher and formerly a arcade game developer and manufacturer as well.
		I think that the more games that are put out that have an outstanding framerate, a glitch-free game will not be a luxury, but a normality.

	The Armchair Empire - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews: Dragonball Z: Budokai
		Unlike most fighting games where the player really has to come up with combos on their own, here it’s almost as though the combos are repackaged.
		This overly simplistic approach to combat then works its way through a number of game modes with the usual practice, story, and versus modes as well as a tournament mode with overly long pre-battle character intros that can’t be bypassed by pounding away on the controller.
		All game and anime imagery is the property of their respective owners.

	Fighting game amidst the decline - Entertainment
		Since the birth of the next generation consoles, there has been a huge decline in the number of fighting games that are available to play on home systems.
		There are not many fighting games on the market, so when a game like Capcom vs. SNK 2 comes out, or Soul Calibur 2, it's like a new-born messiah for all fighting fans alike.
		Though this is game is worth owning, if you're into 3-D fighters or fighters in general, I recommend renting the game first to try out the first player and multi-player modes.

	IGN: Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO Review
		Along with a solid, albeit dated fighting game, Xbox owners will have the privilege of playing their favorite Capcom or SNK character(s) against someone thousands of miles away -- or next door, if that's your fancy -- and the experience is more than adequate.
		More or less, the difference between the two fighting styles is mainly the availability of certain non-lethal moves such as air blocks, dodging, and rolling, with each groove having its own balanced mixture of the said moves.
		The biggest problem that Capcom fighting games face when being ported to a console is the controller issue.

	Soul Calibur II for Xbox Review - Xbox Soul Calibur II Review
		Soul Calibur II is the long-awaited sequel to one of the all-time greatest fighting games.
		The special-guest characters in each version of the game are well done in their own right and are about as fully realized as the rest of the cast.
		The legendary fighting game series returns for a predictable outing that features largely the same excellent gameplay Soul Calibur is known for, as well as prettier graphics and some unimpressive new modes.

	Online Fighting Game
		I suppose that this is more of an action game, but since online is one of the categories I suppose that it'd be more relevant that way.
		Fighting is resolved as a "fighting game" style combat, that means a typical 3 rounds with a life bar sort of combat.
		I suppose that besides the minimal social life involved, the game should be concentrated on the combat part, offering player different combat styles, weapons, even sub-division from each style where they can learn different special moves and develop their characters to their own liking.

		Fighting Force 64 is the same sort of game, updated for the millenium with full 3D Nintendo graphics.
		Now, I know my way around a fighting game and I can "tednuuuugent" with the best of them, so believe me when I say that this particular "Fighting Force" shouldn't be out on the street trying to do anything.
		This is perhaps the first fighting game I've played where I would rather avoid the fights.

		Even not having played the game for years, I could immediately remember each opponent and what kind of attack they would use just from watching them arrive in their mask.

	GameSpot's Best and Worst of 2004 - GameSpot
		The game's online component is easy to jump right into, and with the additional Archon-like chess mode, you can drop the game's fighting engine into something a little bit deeper.
		The game's characters use a wide variety of fighting styles, and have special moves that need to be feared and respected, especially because many of them open you up to the game's combo system, which can be very damaging.
		While the game's finishing moves might not have much to do with the actual fighting, fatalities and hara-kiris give each match a satisfying conclusion--provided you've learned how to execute the moves, of course.

		By "autonomous" I mean that instead of directly controlling a robot, the human playing the game must write a program that acts as the "brain" of the robot.
		The robot will then be dumped into the game arena and must attempt to survive on its own.
		This is to preserve the competitive aspect of the game - it isn't expected that the robots themselves will have public source code, in most cases.

	Fighting Game Development - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
		Is a fighting game simpler than any other type of game except for maybe puzzle games.
		Looking at a fighting game from purely from a rendering perspective makes it seem simple in 2D (easy sprite animation), but in 3D it's not as easy (skeletal animation, perhaps with some IK or ragdoll.) The AI isn't that bad, just a state machine, but it can be hard to get right.
		Motion capture is used in many games, especially ones with complex physical actions (fighting games, sports games.) Real actors perform actions and the position of their limbs is recorded through some method.

		Stats can be toggled as well that show the strength of the different moves as well as a display that shows all of the button presses that have been hit so that players can see why their special ended up as a little punch.
		Put this all together and there's a fighting game that may not push the envelope in terms of tons of characters or tons of modes, but more as a cross section of the Capcom fighting experience.
		The title Capcom Fighting Evolution is appropriate since by playing with these five different types of fighters it's possible to see the different directions that are possible within the 2D realm.
