Forward- forward- back- back- start, the kiss of death, the kiss that shouted to the world we are to be feared. So long ago dawned the birth of fighting games. Much like the battles that took place within the Thunder Dome two enter one leaves! As the early 90’s perfected these genera of games, they also gave birth to women that kick . . . um . . . face. Though these killer women might have begun as a minority their notoriety soon grew to legendary status, opening the door for a slew of new female fighters. It is this Fangirls belief that if not for this female champions Ronda Rousey might just be slinging drinks at a bar and leaving people in slings after her arm bars.
