In a real fight, you don't announce your moves. If you were to shout 'headbutt to bridge of nose' before trying it, you might warn your opponent, and you'd look silly. Yet game fighters get away with shouting "Spinning Bird Kick" or "Hadoken!". In fatc, very little talking goes in in real fights, except when they're 'kicking off'. In the shoving stage you get the "Come on then!" but real fighters have a pretty limited vocabulary. But at least it all makes sense.

In real fights you can't jump over your opponent. It's a shame, but you just can't do it. Mind you, you can run away and hide, which isn't an option in any fighting games I've played.

In games fights take place in all sorts of exotic locations. Outside Las Vegas casinos, in front of huge statues. Some even take place on bridges, with a huge drop below. Most real fights take place outside pubs, or in kebab shops.

In a real fight, if someone gets involved in flames, the other person will usually run away, thinking they might have killed the other person. In games your opponent might just get up, and let you do it to him again. If he doesn't get up, you cheer rather than run.

Real fights involve hugging and rolling around on the ground. I know not of one game in which this is a 'special move'.

Game fighters can do special moves, varying from throwing balls of energy, to turning themselves invisible. Real fighters cannot do this, their special moves are limited to kicks in the knackers, and headbutts.

Once you've defeated a game fighter you might get a chance to perform a 'finishing move' on them, such as pulling out their spine. Real fights often end with bigger blokes jumping in, and breaking it up to the sound of sirens.

Women that fight in games are hot, real women that fight are rough as old bags.

LoL, great topic!

Yes, there is a lack of handbags and women shouting " Oi, pull 'er hair! Slap her good, our Sharon!" in games. Shame, really.

i don't advise trying to jump over your opponent because 1 you'll look silly trying and 2 your opponent may hit you in the errrr nads.

Alos when girl's fight they don't say thing's like "spinning bird kick" and they don't wear skimpy costumes (sadly) and most of the time it's just hair pulling.

I did have an idea for a game called pub fighter where you walk into a pub chat up a bird then her boyfriend comes along saying something like "hands of my b***h" then the fight starts, you can use thing's like chairs and stalls as weapons as well as the odd bottole of Bud.

It then spill's out into the street and the fight end's when some one gets knocked out or when the bobby's arrive.

If find nutting them putting the boot in them when their on the floor and then running away like a girl. Seems to do the trick.

Speak for yourself mate, whenever I get a ruck, I find shouting HAD-OOO-KEN!! at my oppenent unnerves them (unless they're called Ken), as does trying to jump over them.
