Fighting Games
Fighting games put two combatants in a tight arena and let quick minds and steady hands decide the winner. The genre was born in arcades during the late 1970s, but games like Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat turned it into a global craze in the early 1990s. Since then the action has moved from crowded arcades to living rooms, esports stages, and even web browsers.
Players return again and again because every match is a lesson. Landing a combo, mastering spacing, or reading an opponent feels rewarding. Each fighter roster is a playground for self-expression, whether you love precise 2D duels, free-flowing 3D movement, or off-the-wall platform brawls.
The genre now branches into clear sub-genres. Traditional 1v1 titles focus on exact inputs and deep matchup knowledge. Arena and weapon fighters add wide spaces or blades to the mix. Platform fighters swap health bars for ring-outs, while tag games let you call in assists for flashy strings. Thanks to HTML5 and WebGL, you can sample all of them without a download.
Online lobbies and local couch play keep the community thriving. Friendly sparring partners become rivals, and big events like EVO stream dramatic finals to millions. Whether you have five minutes for a browser bout or plan to grind ranked matches all night, there is always another fight waiting.
