Combat is an essential element in many game genres. The fact that players can protect themselves can be the difference between life and death, unless the player can sneak past their enemies. In some situations, a player may find themselves weaponless with nothing but their fists to protect them. Other characters rely only on how mean their blow is to defeat their enemies.
A fierce swing of the fist can solve many gaming problems or is an essential aspect of many fighting games. These characters have by far the most iconic punches in the entire game.
