I want to talk a bit about fighting games, specifically the top 5 fighting games that imo are were the blueprints for modern fighting games. Starting with
Street fighter 2
Though SF is not the first fighting game ever it is the first fighting game to get the concept right, this game did not only set a new standard in fighting games, it set the standard for fighting moves as well.
Most fighting moves to this day are a derivation of this:
← ↓ → + P = Hadouken
→ ↓ → + P = Shoryouken
↓ ↑ + K = Spinning Bird kick
