Category:Fighting games

Beat 'em up or fighting games emphasize one-on-one combat between two players, one of whom may be computer controlled. These games usually focus on martial arts, which are usually so dramatic and physically impossible as to be comical. Some of these games may also employ hand-held weapons in addition to or instead of performing combat gymnastics (such as Soul Calibur and some characters in Mortal Kombat). This genre arose in the mid-1980s and became a phenomenon with the release of Street Fighter II; the genre is still popular today.
