Talk:Fighting game

Should we make separate pages for specific fighting game subgenres?

Shooter games has pages for some of its important subgenres like hero shooters and tactical shooters. Considering that there are specific popular subgenres of fighting games too, should we make separate pages for 2D, 3D, and platform fighting games? I didn't want to just create them without first consulting others.Suriwashi (talk) 19:29, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Platform fighter subgenre should have its own article.

The platform fighter subgenre should have its own article, it has increased in popularity recently and has information that cannot be covered by this article do to its nature. Person077777777 (talk) 21:20, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Bringing up to date

it seems previously the history section was heavily focused on the first 5 years of the boom, but light on recent revivals, etc. Balance needs to be restored. ~2026-19328-90 (talk) 08:33, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

For example, BlazBlue is a particularly long-running series, and Multiversus set all sorts of player records on Steam, and yet neither were mentioned. Soetermans, needs to take a breath and let the article develop.
