Fighters and Brawlers

Fighters and brawlers. Fighting games, or belt brawlers AKA beat 'em ups. They are genres centered on close-range combat between characters, typically in one-on-one matches, or one vs multiple enemies. Players control a fighter and use attacks and combos to defeat opponents. Or they may control a character who fights through levels filled with various foes, using a combination of punches, kicks, and special moves. The parallels between both genres will be celebrated this month.
