The appeal of fighting games

I always did play video games even as young as 4 years old like on my Wii or PlayStations. After all, my mom bought it on my birthday, always being on a single-player because I never had siblings to play with so my favorites being like sonic, Mario, Jax and Daxter, and sly cooper but I Normally know when it comes to video games that’s not focused on single-player, the only thing left is multiplayer which makes you go against or with people that will take a lot of skill in both aspects but, at the same time will have something that robs you of a win like bad teammates, power-ups or randomly generated items which I been thought a lot such as Mario party/kart, call of duty, etc. After dealing with that you might want something different, something fair, balanced and all depleted on you, so fighting games fill that space. What even are fighting games? You might ask it’s a genre of one on one games known for its challenge in mechanics and characters that’s been a thing ever since 1976 which was Heavyweight Champ but the game that became the bases of the future fighting games was street fighter by capcom 1987. It was trash at first it was a bad-looking, rushed game but everything was improved on by number 2 which gave one most known form of a fighting game which is traditional. The compact of a traditional fighting game is slow like a real professional fight where you're waiting for someone to mess up so you can counterattack. Most of the time this type of genre always requires patients over anything else. after years of companies were trying to cash on the bases of street fighters but none would stick like sub-genres such as anime fighting which first of its kind was guilty gear 1998 by arc system works which tried a different approach. first of its kind was guilty gear 1998 by arc system works that takes everything we know about traditional and throws a few things while amping others such as big combos, Combos are a combination of attacks in one motion that severely damages the opponent but not only that what makes me like it is, the creativity of all since there’s no boundary of you could chain anything you want next one. This is one of my favorites since it’s just controlled insanity at its best with no restrictions whatsoever, to where the only thing left is your skill and your creativity on the plate to improve on in this sub-genre. This is another one of my favorites because it takes the basis of what an anime fighter is which is basically an amped-up traditional fighter and does it again but now with the real-life concept of tag team such as in wrestling. How dos incorporate that concept you might be asking right now and the way they do that is to take 3-2 playable characters until they win or lose. The way it works out throughout the match is to assist and switch. Assist in bringing your other characters as a quick helper to do a few attacks as a rush or get off move. Switching is a way to over a different character from your own but keeps in mind that the last character’s health will be the same. At this point in time all fighting games were 2D only really sometimes messing with the vision to make look like there was depth in the game but only used for the background. Every company at this point did 3D so naturally fighting games did the same thing, then used it to its advantage since now you are not stuck from left to right but now you can go a whole 360 way around where you fighting. All 3D fighting games at this time try to make it as real as possible so fewer combos but all movements like a strike and run gameplay to it unlike any other fighting game at the time. I still love these sub-genres because all the time these games use their 3D to make great look characters and backgrounds that always surprise me. This is my least favorite out of all the subs-genre because of how it throws everything out the window when it comes to fighting games as a whole. Exploring the name, a platformer is a form of gameplay popularized by Nintendo with the most loved series Mario which the way you play those is going left to right running, jumping, ducking through obstacles but now as fighting. I found a few articles that explore why other people enjoy fighting games The appeal of fighting games: It’s about how fighting games appeal to specialists that understand the point of fighting games which is not always about winning but approving that will keep people coming back that’s why practicing is the most important and apart from the game its self the community around that makes it better is the fighting game community or FGC for short which is fulled to the brim with dedicated players that are always ready to become the at the game love but will at the same time always open to help new players if needed since again it hard to get people into fighting games so to bring but keep those players are great. There are things about the FGC that almost every game especially at a high level are live and recorded with prize pools. In the end, he explains that none of this is just fighting games but is great to have in all other games to have a passionate community for a great game leaving with this quote is explain it best “The fight is everything” We asked the experts what makes a great fighting game Three clear concepts emerged: this page goes over many things when it comes to making fighting which there is no completely wrong answer with none one being from Seth Killian who talks about h ow it’s not just the game but the mental behind it since it’s nobody else there to talk to just clients apart from game to worry about saying “A great fighting game lets you stare right into the soul of your opponent. There [are] no teammates to coordinate with, no noise in the system, and minimal variance — just a high-stakes, fast-paced test of nerves to see who is the predator, and who is the prey. ” Another person was Andrew Freeth talking about how much you add but it all adds up to an intriguing game system that will have people repeatedly coming back to and putting it to its fullest limit because you shouldn't punish the play that trying to have the most fun with the game you created saying “[A great fighting game] should never punish players to an extent where they are completely frustrated by a competitive game. I also think characters need to be relatable or humorous so that you feel some attachment while battling. ”. The last one will be mike-andronico telling us that fighting games should know what the balance between easy to learn but hard to master because caring about one over the other can make old or new players leave almost day 1 but not only that make it look good while doing both of those things since that can attract a lot of players, new and old saying“To me, the ideal fighting game strikes a perfect balance between easy to learn and hard to master while being fun for spectators to watch. Just like chess, the basic punches, kicks, and special moves of a game like ‘Street Fighter’ are simple to understand. But put in the hands of two talented players, these moves lead to a dazzling back-and-forth of intricate mind games and stylish, exciting combos. ”. Even though for a long I understand what fighting games and the appeal to me but hearing from other people is like a breath of fresh air since almost every year there is a new fighting game for new and old fans to get into to where even now people have different outlooks of whats of what you should do and what shouldn't do with a fighting game which there all right in their own way Because it already hard enough to get people into fighting games but keep them is a whole other subject in its own right. Even with all of that, there is still a reason to love fighting games to this day that will keep people coming back.
