Introduction

In fighting games, which requiere a big amount precision, it is very important to give feedback to every action the player does. With each sound, the player must be able to know if a powerful punch is being performed, if he's doing a fast attack, if their attack got blocked, etc. because it is not easy to be focused only in the visual part. Furthermore, the background music has to create a feeling of tension without distracting the players.
