Line 4:
In game parlance, the term ''fighting game'' is not used as a catch-all phrase to refer to any game which involves combat; it specifically refers to a style of combat-game which consists of a series of duels (or, occasionally, battles between four characters) typically fought using martial arts.
 
Fighting games are typically styled after martial arts tournaments, with a number of selectable characters competing in one on one, or tag team style fights. The tournament can either be a ''regular'' tournament with just a title or mundane prize up for grabs, or [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|the fate of the world]] can be [[Serious Business|hanging in the balance]]. A Fighting Game based on an [[Anime]] will often take place during a [[Tournament Arc]].
 
The two most common play modes in a fighting game are story mode, where you play as one character trying to win the tournament and versus, where two or more players fight each other. Many recent games released on consoles have longer, more involved storylines and as such will have both the regular Story Mode and an Arcade Mode, which takes out all the story-related elements and makes the opponent lineup more random.
