Description
In the realm of fighting games, a match is a fundamental unit of gameplay where two participants face off in a series of rounds. Each player controls a character, utilizing a combination of attacks, defenses, and special moves to reduce their opponent's health bar. Matches can be played in various formats, such as best-of-three or best-of-five rounds, depending on the game's rules or the tournament settings. The dynamic and strategic nature of matches is what makes fighting games exciting, as players must anticipate their opponent's moves, counteract effectively, and execute their own strategies under pressure. The conclusion of a match is determined when one player wins the majority of the designated rounds. Matches are not only a test of skill but also of mental endurance, adaptability, and knowledge of the game mechanics.
Examples

- In 'Tekken 7,' matches are often played in a best-of-five format during major tournaments, requiring players to win three out of five rounds to advance.
