sourceWikipedia the solution to everything said:The main distinction between this genre and the beat 'em up genre is that players are of roughly equal power to their opponents, and fights are self-contained matches involving a small number of characters (usually between two and four). While not defining traits of the genre, the vast majority of fighting games involve life bars, fights that last an odd number of rounds, and are viewed in profile.
AgreedIt's a deathmatch/teamplay 3rd-person action game.
Why? Tenkaichi has almost all the staples of a fighting game and doesn't play anything like ESF. The only staple ESF has on the fighting genre front is that you use punches and kicks.For the record i still put it in the same category as Tenkaichi.
I'm not an old school or even a new school ESF player, but I'm pretty sure people use mostly melee in ESF and the "distance combat" which I understand as beams aren't used as much which would mean that it IS a fighting game. Unless you mean something else by distance combat.@Rocky: The line before that states "In a fighting game, players face off against each other or against computer-controlled characters in close combat."
ESF can be close combat, but it's distance combat most of the time.
Like?Because despite what you believe they share the same gameplay.
I mean simple melee. You can't really classify simple melee as close quarter combat, you're far away from them the majority of the time.Rocky said:I'm not an old school or even a new school ESF player, but I'm pretty sure people use mostly melee in ESF and the "distance combat" which I understand as beams aren't used as much which would mean that it IS a fighting game.

If you suck.I mean simple melee. You can't really classify simple melee as close quarter combat, you're far away from them the majority of the time.
Nah. Not at all. Simple melee is like 90 percent distance combat with like ten percent contact.If you suck.
You're being stuborn. They are not that similar, beside the caracters they have few things in common.Because despite what you believe they share the same gameplay.
