What Makes a Fighting Game Legendary? | Fighting Games | Ep. 5.03

Season 5 keeps rolling with a full month dedicated to video games, and this week we’re stepping into the arcade, the living room, and the couch rivalries that defined a generation. In Episode 5.03, we’re carving out Fighting Games, celebrating the franchises, mechanics, and matchups that made button-mashing an art form and competition personal. From classic arcade cabinets to console brawlers that dominated sleepovers and tournaments, this episode dives into what makes a fighting game timeless, technical, and unforgettable. Joining Kirk and Andy are Grailbound Gaming, Mystacles, and Iowa Retro Gamer Dad, three creators with a deep love for retro gaming, real conversations, and hands-on experience. Together, we talk combos, characters, learning curves, arcade memories, and why fighting games still matter in modern gaming culture.
