Games: Fighting

Fighting games are pure dueling: two fighters, jabs, blocks, punishes and that split-second hit-confirm. Legendary series with 30 years of history, anime fighters, platform brawlers — behind each stands a school, frame data and people ready to teach you for months. Standard advice: a gamepad is highly desirable, online play needs a current version, and reviews are where you read about roster balance and learning curve. From arcade brawlers to tournament classics — pick your fighter. Fight!
