Human Computer Interaction is a field that encompasses a large variety of applications and concepts, and one of those is in the form of interactive media and video games. Video games offer unique and often exciting ways for people to interact with computers, getting instant feedback for their inputs in the form of visual and audio output from the computer. We will specifically be looking at the fighting game genre, where these interactions are designed to be accurate to the frame, while also incorporating head-to-head multiplayer, throwing into the equation the interaction between the player and their opponent. This adds another really interesting layer to the interaction of the player with the game itself, as they now how to respond to their opponents actions as well. We will explore this concept and talk about the merits of studying fighting games in this capacity.
