What was the first fighting video game?

Answer 1

The "fighting game" genre is typically defined as allowing two players to compete head to head against each other simultaneously in real time action, typically featuring Martial Arts and single bodies of characters. By this definition, some of the first fighting game were Karate Champ and Yie-Ar Kung Fu. These were very ambitious attempts, but ultimately had little strategy and were commercial faillures. The original Street Fighter soon followed, but likewise was plagued with technical challenges and was a commercial failure. The first successful fighting game where the controls were tight, strategy actually played a roll, and players could legitimately face off against each other in real time, was Street Fighter II: The World Warrior.
