I know there are lots of games that could have been mentioned here as ground-breaking to the genera, but surprised to not hear a mention of Karateka. I'm a huge fighting game fan and that was the first real plan your attack type of fighting game I can think of.

[@DashFight]

Very good point! We were focussed on games with player vs player elements, so we overlooked Karateka due it having single-player only.

[@1974vorvon]

@@DashFight Gotcha, that makes sense. Great video btw.

[@DashFight]

Thank you!

[@ToseRoyal]

Great video series idea, can't wait for part two!

[@DashFight]

Thank you!

[@DashFight]

Hope you're looking forward to the next part! The 90s are so densely packed with amazing fighting games, so there's a lot to go over.
Personally, what would be your favourite era of fighting games?

[@binho2224]

Videos like this is why I don't even have a TV anymore. So many amazing content on TH-cam! Thank you for all the involved on this project!

[@SzablaSzabla]

I remember my first few fighting games - Body Blows and Primal Rage.

[@Tony-Madisson]

I am 40 married with kids and still get excited about fighting games 🎮

[@DashFight]

Here's hoping you'll be the same in another 40 years!

Arena fighting games would work for Star Wars especially after the hero modes in battlefront 2017

[@yungsamus6662]

International karate is the best fighting game of all time

[@spudsbuchlaw]

You mentioned Platform fighters, but in my opinion, all fighting game styles are subgenres.
Let me explain:
Pre SF2, there were fighting games, yet there was no "Traditional Fighting Game" as we know now. In other words, in a sea of general Fighting Games, tradition became a pillar of it. Sort of like how the "Mario Franchise" has multiple series within it that are all "Mario"

[@Lord_Alimdor]

Great video!

[@DashFight]

Glad you enjoyed it
