SF defined the genre for 2d, Tekken defined it for 3d. If your game deviates from those formulas, it aint a fighter.

>Game about fighting isn't a fighting game.

How is it a fighting game though? It plays nothing like other 3d fighters such as Tekken or VF.

fpbp

I don't even play fighting games and I know how to use the term correctly. You're either trolling or retarded if you don't think "fighting game" refers to a very specific style of game that has been a staple of video gaming culture for decades.

it's never too late to reinvent the wheel, user

*spams grab punch*
what now bitch

Isn't it more akin to a brawler or beat'em up in terms of its mechanics?

>How is it a fighting game though?
By being about fighting?

its more like for honor but with martial arts
too bad for honor played like absolute shit
