Tags Before most/all of the fights characters will briefly have a conversation with each over with unique dialogue with each opponent before they battle. (And sometimes after the fight as well.) Depending on the game it can be a fully established plot or just a bunch of random encounters with hopefully witty banter before each and every fight. Basically fighting games with plenty of dialogue before and/or after the fights.
