This is my #50 blog and it took a lot of time to reach it, 19 months :shock:. I will not make this blog into a big blog like it will probably be when I reach my #100 blog. I decided to make my first countdown, and it's gonna be a genre countdown. The music & rhythim genre isn't in, and casual genres also. In this blog I will reveale #10 of the countdown and here it is:

#10: Fighting genre

Fighting games emphasize one-on-one combat between two characters, one of which may be computer controlled. These games are usually played by linking together long chains of button presses on the controller to use physical attacks to fight. Many of the movements employed by the characters are usually dramatic and occasionally physically impossible. Combat is almost always one-on-one, though there are some exceptions such as the Super Smash Bros. series and Guilty Gear Isuka, pitting up to four combatants in the fight at one time. This genre first appeared in 1976 with the release of Sega's Heavyweight Boxing and later became a phenomenon, particularly in the arcades, with the release of Street Fighter II. The genre is still popular today, although it has failed to see the extreme popularity it once did.

Although Street Fighter II was not the first fighting game, it popularized and established the gameplay conventions of the genre.

I played my first fighting game with my PS1 which I got in 1999 and it was Tekken 3 which is one of my all-time favorite game ever, but since fighting games aren't as popular as before, I almost forgot this genre until I got Street Fighter 4 for PC in this month. I hope that Tekken 6 is gonna be a great game so that more fighting games starst to come out. I really like all genres and that's mostly the reason why I even love the genre which is on the last spot but the others are just better.

My favorite Fighting games and franchises:

1) The Tekken series
2) The Street Fighter series
3) The Naruto Ultimate Ninja series
4) The Soulcallibur series

-------------------------------

This was for the place 10, so that means 9 to go. The genres which still are in are:

Platformers, Shooters, Action-Adventure (stealth, survival-horror, open world games), Adventure, Role-Playing games (Action RPG, MMORPG, Tactical RPG), Startegy (Real-Time Strategy, Tower defense, 4X, Real-Time tactics, Turn-based strategy, Turn-based tactics), Vehicle based games (arcade and simulations, it doesn't matter which vehicle, it can be cars, planes, boats, etc.), Puzzle and Sport.

If you want you can make your predictions in the comments ;)

See ya and have fun :).
