{{Stub}} {{ElementInfobox | type = Terminology }} '''Fighting video games''' are [[video games]] where you typically fight another player, either computer-controlled, or human. These video games are usually only two-player, although there are some that can include up to four players. Fighting games usually focus completely on combat. In [[versus fighting game]]s, there is usually no wandering from place to place, as the combat engine is central to the experience. There are [[3D fighter|3D fighting games]] that have slower paced moves and work on a 3D plane with dodging, and then there are the more traditional [[2D fighter|2D fighting games]] with complicated combo's and fast animation. A related genre is the [[beat 'em up]], where one or more players fight against numerous enemies. Fighting games include the following sub-genres: *[[Versus fighting game|Versus fighting]] **[[2D fighter]] **[[3D fighter]] *[[Beat 'em up]] **[[Hack & Slash]] *[[Sports|Combat sports]] **[[Boxing]] **[[Wrestling]] {{Genres}} [[Category:Terminology]] [[Category:Genres]]
