Fighting games are a genre of video games in which the player controls a character in hand-to-hand combat against other characters. The goal of a fighting game is to defeat the opponent by reducing their health to zero or forcing them to submit. Fighting games can be played against the computer or against other players either locally or online.
Fighting games have been around for decades, and they have evolved significantly over time. Early fighting games were simple affairs, with limited moves and characters. However, as technology improved, fighting games became more complex and sophisticated, with more moves, characters, and stages. Today, fighting games are some of the most popular and competitive video games in the world.
