Fighting games are a genre of video games that involve combat between multiple characters, often in one-on-one battles. These games typically feature mechanics such as blocking, grappling, counter-attacking, and chaining attacks into "combos". Characters generally engage in hand-to-hand combat, often with martial arts, though some may include weaponry. Battles are usually set in a fixed-size arena along a two-dimensional plane, where characters navigate horizontally by walking or dashing, and vertically by jumping. Some games allow limited movement in 3D space, such as Tekken and Soulblade, while others are set in fully three-dimensional environments without restricting characters' movement, such as Power Stone and Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm; these are sometimes referred to as "3D arena" fighting games.
