3D Fighting games also tend to be more slow-paced than 2D Fighting games. 3D Fighting games have the same basic structure as their 2D counterparts, but combat on a 3D plane allows for more dodging, horizontal attack ranges, and a greater importance for grappling and "juggling" enemies in midair. Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Garou: Mark of the Wolves Darkstalkers 3: Jedah's DamnationĪfter Street Fighter II set the template for 2D Fighting games, titles like Tekken and Virtua Fighter became pioneers of the 3D equivalent. Despite losing popularity with the death of arcades in the West, Fighting games have made a comeback thanks to online console play. This type of highly technical game became the standard for the genre and continues to have a huge worldwide competitive player base today. Though early 2D Fighting games offered varying interpretations of this concept, Street Fighter II defined the genre at large, featuring a roster of varied characters with a multitude of special moves, which can be chained into combos. If it's not considered the most appropriate given genre, it will probably just be changed by one of our butthurt editors.dtįighting games usually feature one-on-one combat where opponents battle until a certain outcome, usually the depletion of one fighter's health. If you feel a game fits more into a genre description not described, or that contradicts the description given here, put your Nathan Hermann in buttswn what your.uh.heart(?) tells you. Remember that this is a guide line, and not absolute 100% requirement. NOTE: There are exceptions to every rule.If it catches on, it will probably be added! If you don't post a Genre from this list, if it's funny enough, we'll usually let it slide. There are two categories for Genres, the Legitimate and Joke Terms/Pet Terms. If you see any games labeled with a genre that doesn't fit or a genre that is not on this list, then you should edit it to something more appropriate. Four is also possible, but this is very rare and should be used very sparingly (an existing example is Dark Cloud for PS2, which has RPG/Action/Sim/Roguelike). Sometimes games will fit into three genres, this is also acceptable (such as Lode Runner for NES, which is Puzzle/Platformer/Arcade). A good example would be Action/Adventure, or Puzzle/Platformer, two very common cross genres. Usually you'll find that a game fits into more than one category, this is not only acceptable but totally encouraged. Here you will find a list of acceptable Genres that may be put in the Genre tabs. When adding a game to a list or even creating a new page, you're going to want to put something in the genre box.
