Fighting Video Games Trivia Questions

1. What fighting series featuring Mario, Link, and Pikachu takes in a majority of Nintendo-based combatants?

From Quiz
Beat-'Em-Up!

Answer: Super Smash Bros.

First released in 1999 on the Nintendo 64, "Super Smash Bros." has since become one of Nintendo's most famous fighters and most-played game series overall. The aim of the game is to pick a character, usually one from a Nintendo series, though later instalments have seen third-party inclusions, and face off against a handful of other players or computer avatars aiming to get the best score or be the last man standing. The game also features cameo inclusions of other famous and not-as-famous characters and unique settings and items from the games in the Nintendo line-up.

2. What fighter in the "Dead or Alive" series made his debut in a beat'em up arcade game in the late 1980s?

From Quiz Fighting Games

Answer: Ryu Hayabusa

Ryu first appeared in "Ninja Gaiden" which became a popular video game series on its own. Bayman is a Russian commando and mercenary fighter appearing only in the "Dead or Alive" series. Jimmy Lee is one half of the popular duo in "Double Dragon", a beat-em up of the 1980s and Ken Masters is the best friend of a different Ryu, in the iconic "Street Fighter" series.

3. What company is behind the "Darkstalkers" series?

From Quiz Are You Ready to Fight? Round 2!

Answer: Capcom

Yet another fighter under Capcom's wing, the original "Darkstalkers" game was released in 1994. It featured various supernatural creatures as the selectable characters.

4. In which series of games can the character Millia Rage be found?

From Quiz Are You Ready to Fight?

5. Although you have animal orbs by your side, it usually comes down to beating up enemies as a medieval knight in what game by The Behemoth?

From Quiz Beat-'Em-Up!

Answer: Castle Crashers

This 2008 game originally released on XBLA became popular enough to be ported to PC, PS3, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch over time, bringing with it a cute, animated world filled to the brim with fierce battles against enemy regimes. In this one, you play as a knight in a side-scrolling world, fighting in melee combat with an arsenal of close-range weapons, or firing at a distance with ranged items. Amassing wealth and experience helps increase your abilities, and locating small creatures known as animal orbs will further help-- each one has a different ability. Unlike beat 'em up fighters, this game takes the 2D style on the road, taking the player (or players, plural, as it can be a cooperative adventure) through levels while pummelling foes.

6. In "Battle Arena Toshinden", what is Fo Fai's weapon's name?

From Quiz Are You Ready to Fight? Round 2!

However, the Human Torch fought alongside other superheroes in EA's "Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects".

12. What 2003 Gamecube sidescroller set in Movieland stars a cel-shaded protagonist who uses hamburgers to regain health?

From Quiz Beat-'Em-Up!

Answer: Viewtiful Joe

Released in 2003 by Capcom and Clover Studio (who later developed "Okami" before dissolution), "Viewtiful Joe" was a colourful beat 'em up sidescroller that was, inevitably, ported to the PlayStation 2 after its success on the Gamecube. In the game, you could follow stages along the 2D world to beat up foes and solve puzzles. Killing enemies with chained combos and certain techniques could go towards unlocking more abilities between the game's stages.

From Quiz Beat-'Em-Up!

Answer: MadWorld

Although Clover Studio closed down after "Viewtiful Joe" and "Okami", many of its creators moved on to create PlatinumGames, teaming up with Sega to release "MadWorld" in 2009. The game, clearly inspired by the visuals of the "Sin City" graphic novels, was one of the more mature titles to be released on Nintendo's super-popular console, taking advantage of the Wii Remote's motion controls to bring a hyper-violent offering to an otherwise tame system. In the game, your goal is to beat up all of the enemies for the sake of a reality TV show called "DeathWatch" (think Stephen King's "The Running Man", but with consent), occasionally using a chainsaw to run through bigger adversaries.

16. What was the first "Mortal Kombat" game to feature the character Noob Saibot?

From Quiz Doublemm vs.

Answer: "Dead or Alive"

Although often seen as being in the shadow of other fighting games of the time such as "Tekken" and "Street Fighter", "Dead or Alive" is still held as one of the all time greats of this genre and this is reflected in its many sequels. The game is set apart by the speedy fighting styles of most of its characters as well as the focus on volley-hitting. Because of this, rounds are often very quickly decided. Speeding up the rounds further is a unique format where, instead of having the typical "time out" when outside of the allocated fighting square, "Dead or Alive" has a danger zone mode, where falling players are dealt extra damage if they fall on the area outside of the main fighting square.

From Quiz Are You Ready to Fight? Round 2!

From Quiz Doublemm vs.

Answer: "Tekken"

"Tekken" was released in 1994 and it immediately became a classic! It is distinguished from all other games of its sort by the intimate and captivating storyline which each character has.

Things escalate through the series until Kratos faces off against the Titans and Zeus himself, often in battles that bring him up close and personal with his fists and hand-to-hand skills (though, occasionally, with weapons). Because of the devastation caused in the first few games, the creators at Sony's in-house studios switched things up in 2018, reframing the story for Norse myth instead of Greek.

Answer: Bayonetta

In a unique take on the beat 'em up/hack and slash genre from the creators of "MadWorld", "Bayonetta" puts you in the role of a witchy character who fights with her own style of martial arts, magical powers, and firearms. For anyone thinking that it has the same sensibilities as the "Devil May Cry" series, you'd be on the nose; the game was developed by one of its creators and shares not only many of the mechanics, but some of the same narrative overtones as derived from the works of Dante Alighieri. "Bayonetta" would go on to be one of Nintendo's more unique and unconventional exclusive franchises over successive generations.
