Step into the gritty underground arenas of Violence Fight, a pioneering one-on-one fighting game released by Taito for the arcade in 1989. Set in an era before the fighting genre established its standard conventions, this brawler tasks you with proving yourself as the “Number One Quarreler” in the United States. You choose from a diverse roster of four distinct brawlersโincluding Bad Blue, Ben Smith, Lee Chen, and Lick Joeโand fight your way through a tournament to claim glory and prize money.
How to Play
Your objective is to deplete your opponent’s health bar by landing strikes and throwing them before the timer runs out. To start, press Shift to insert a coin and Enter to begin. Use the Arrow Keys to move your fighter around the arena in eight directions. Press Z to punch, X to kick, and C to jump.
Tips
- Use the Environment: Unlike many modern fighting games, the arenas are filled with interactive objects like crates and barrels. Pick them up and hurl them at your opponent for massive damage.
- Keep Moving: The eight-way movement system allows you to step into the foreground or background. Use this depth to effectively sidestep incoming attacks before countering.
