Three Round Deathmatch | comment |
So, you've just finished laying the smackdown on your opponent with a devastating array of punches and kicks. The screen fades to black... "Round Two, Fight!" What's this? You and your opponent are standing across from each other again, and you're both at full health. That's right, this is a Three Round Deathmatch. Even though it rarely makes much sense, this has been part of Fighting Games for so long that it's long since become an acceptable break from reality. The usual way to avert this in Fighting Games is through a "team battle" system, where victory isn't achieved through knocking someone out twice in a row, but simply by taking out everyone on the opposing side. On defeating a member of the opposing team, the winning character sometimes gains health back, as though they got a chance to rest between rounds. This term pops up in Professional Wrestling, where "deathmatch" typically just means no disqualifications. Examples |

Darkstalkers 3 had a subversion. Once a life-bar is depleted, the opponent immediately gets up with their life-bar completely replenishing while the victor's life-bar remains the same, essentially making the match divided between life-bars rather than rounds, though there was still a round counter. The positions of both fighters would be right where the match ended. Injustice: Gods Among Us would use this system later as well, and outright said the match was divided between life-bars rather than rounds. A grey life-bar is seen on top of a red one, and once the grey one is depleted, the loser would be knocked really far back and roll a little bit and lie on the floor for a bit, enough time for the victor to deliver a taunt, before getting up and resuming the match in the same position. Again, the victor's life-bar remained the same, meaning it's not uncommon to see one character's life-bar depleted followed immediately by the one who did the depleting become the one that gets depleted. Being on your second life-bar also allowed access to clashes, a combo breaker that can be used to turn the match in your favor, but only once per match per character. Also notably, while the first life-bar depletion has the character lie on the floor motionless for a few seconds, the match point will have the user get back up to strike a defeated pose as if they're even less damaged from the first round end. |

The otherwise forgettable BloodStorm allowed characters to dismember each other mid-fight in addition to the Mortal Kombat-style death traps. Even if a fighter was missing both arms, their entire lower body, and had just been impaled on a huge stalagmite, the game would just move on to the next round if it wasn't two losses for them. All their missing viscera would be returned as if nothing had happened. | |

Guilty Gear uses the round system (except in story mode, where fights are one round only). The original game, however, had "Instant Kill" attacks, which if connected finished the entire match. Subsequent games changed these to simply finishing the round. BlazBlue solved this by only allowing Astral Heats in the final round. Story mode always shows you opponent as alive but injured afterwards, even if Ragna's Astral Heat erased them from existence. Persona 4: Arena, based on BlazBlue's style, is the same. |

Mortal Kombat 11 uses it in a clever way in the Story Mode. The final battle with Kronika is first to two wins. But if you lose a round, Kronika uses the time Liu Kang needs to recover to finish destroying the timeline, giving you the bad ending. | |

Let's be honest, Kizuna Tag Encounter was Urier-than-thou in this case. And yes, you're still screwed, should only you lose ONE fighter. In the same vein, NeoGeo Battle Coliseum that, well, didn't used the "one guy's failure is entire team's downfall" scheme, except, maybe one mode. |

Killer Instinct uses a variant. Each character gets two life meters. When the first runs out, the character stands back up, the two face off, and the battle continues. The winning character retains their health from the previous fall. | |

Dragon Ball Fighter Z puts a unique spin on Marvel vs. Capcom's format. The match as a whole stays true to MvC's format where everything takes place in a single round tag-team battle and the last team with a fighter still standing at the end is declared the winner. However, when a team loses a fighter, the replacement fighter rushes into the battle and clashes with the opponent in the center of the stage before both characters leap backwards and are given a neutral start. Thus, with each fall, the match is divided into "pseudo-rounds" in order to avoid a Cycle of Hurting where the victorious opponent can mix up the incoming replacement and potentially give their opponent a much worse start. | |

Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes played this straight in the Playstation version as it didn't have enough power to have 4 characters fighting 2-on-2 with assist characters, limiting it to one-on-one with assist. Once the opponent's life-bar is depleted, they immediately get up and look disappointed while the victor strike's a quick victory pose, before the fight resumes, though the positioning is the same. | |

The same applies for Mortal Kombat 9, only moreso. In addition, when a round ends, the defeated character gets back to their feet (some even have special ways to do so - Noob Saibot, for example, drops himself through one of his portals and lands upright) to start the next round. X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes predate Mortal Kombat 9 with a similar round segregation (no wipe, just having the defeated character stand up and both energy meters refill). | |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, when a character loses a round, the announcer yells "Down!", and then the character immediately gets back up for the next round. It isn't "KO!" until the match point is scored, at which point the victorious character gives a Victory Pose. | |

Examples of the "team battle" aversion include The King of Fighters (since the first game), Marvel vs. Capcom and Capcom vs. SNK. KoF and CvS end rounds whenever a fighter falls so a fight can be as short as one round (in Capcom vs. SNK 2 if your opponent only opted to use one ratio 4 character) or as many as seven (in KoF 2001 if neither you or your opponent opted to use Striker characters and battled to the final character on each team). The tag-team gameplay of the MvC games (and by extension Tatsunoko vs. Capcom) are isolated to single-round, "last team standing" format (KoF 2003 and XI also use this format). Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes played this straight in the Playstation version as it didn't have enough power to have 4 characters fighting 2-on-2 with assist characters, limiting it to one-on-one with assist. Once the opponent's life-bar is depleted, they immediately get up and look disappointed while the victor strike's a quick victory pose, before the fight resumes, though the positioning is the same.

Arcana Heart 3 uses a hybrid system. After a round victory, lifebars (but not fighter positions or super meters) reset as the loser stands up and dusts herself off. The defeat animations also vary. Lose a round, and you fighter is only knocked down. Lose the match and Fiona's BFS shatters, the blob that fights for Kira flies offscreen... | |

Played mostly straight in Fist of the North Star: Twin Blue Stars of Judgment, but played with concerning the Deadly Fist Blow (or "Fatal KO" as they're commonly known). These moves are One-Hit Kill moves, but unlike Blazblue, they're theoretically usable at any time. Theoretically, as you must drain the opponent's Star Meter to make them available. Fittingly, the amount of damage you need to deal to your opponent to take them down to their last Star is enough that your Deadly Fist Blow will almost certainly only be available in the match point round. | |

Likewise with the first Touhou Project fighting game, Touhou Suimusou ~ Immaterial and Missing Power. Both players get a second to position themselves after a "knockdown" but there's no reset. This fits well with the single player story mode, where all of your opponents will have multiple stages anyway. | |

Skullgirls varies. If your opponent chooses to use more than one character, the game is played like Marvel vs. Capcom (one round, last team standing) but if both players are only using one character, it reverts to a Three Round Deathmatch (though both of these settings can be adjusted in the options so you can also set tag battles to also stretch to multiple rounds). | |

Justified in Fatal Fury 2 and later games in the series - the first time a character loses a round, they get back to their knees and gasp for breath while the game tallies the round bonus. It's only when the match point is lost that they get knocked out. Notably, some of them even try to get back up only to fall over again (e.g. Krauser, Yamazaki, Jin Chonrei). | |

Subverted in Art of Fighting 3. The game has a traditional 2-out-of-3 setup, but if a fighter defeats a weak enough opponent with a Desperation Attack, they will be awarded with an "Ultimate KO" and the match will end. In Gundam Vs series when "duels" are declared (The CPU is set to evade, preventing them from interfering), 3000 vs 3000 is best of 2 rounds while 2000s has 3 lives and 1000s have 5 lives. Time outs result in the defeat of both sides regardless of how much health/battle advantage your team has. |

After playing it straight for four generations, Dead or Alive 5 finally subverts it. Defeated characters are visibly still semi-conscious, and shown on the ground woozily holding their head or propping themselves up even on a match point. Story fights only go for one round, and arcade modes are ostensibly an organized tournament where fighters would be allowed to recover between rounds. | |

Pro-bending in The Legend of Korra works on a best of three rounds format. Though the third round is still fought because knocking all three opponents out of the ring in a single round is an Instant-Win Condition even if you're already down two rounds. | |

Namco also differs in one team battle game, Tekken Tag Tournament. If ONE of your guys is knocked out, you lose; it's similar to Professional Wrestling's tag team rules, thus giving you a reason to get that injured guy out as quickly as possible. Street Fighter X Tekken also abides by the "first fall loses" rule. | |

The Super Smash Bros. series doesn't divide the fight into rounds at all, though characters may (and often do) have multiple lives. Then there are timed battles. Simply kill your enemy(ies) more times in two(give or take) minutes. Oh and grab the coins mode. And then there's Melee's Bonus Mode, where your score is determined not just by how many KOs you score, but by the style of your fighting. Played with in that fighters aren't ever "knocked out" in the traditional sense - just sent flying offstage and, rules permitting, returning to the fight on a hovering platform. The trope is averted if the rules are set to give fighters traditional HP, which means either a Ring Out or running out of health removes that fighter from the match completely. |
