Fighting type combinations

Examples of type combination songs with fighting as their primary type


Fighting fire

These will be violent-sounding or war-like songs which are also either about fire or burning stuff. The two examples I have are here are both from real time strategy games:-

Blow It Up (Frank Klepacki).

Face the Enemy 2 (Frank Klepacki).

Fighting dark

The move 'Sucker punch' is considered 'dark' (also is considered 'not very effective' against fighting types because they will be trained to be alert to such things and easily defend against them).

Army of Me (Sucker Punch Remix) (Björk).

Fighting (pure)

Pure types are discussed in the introduction page. These have fighting as both primary and secondary qualities. Examples of pure fighting types I have are:-

Iron Fist (Frank Klepacki).

Fight! Win! Prevail! (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1s_PitQqyo


Fighting earth

Currently there are still no such Pokémon that have this type combination because it is possibly too super-effective. However, Comrade General himself is this type combination and there are music tracks that are of this type combination, although they are also in real time strategy games:-

Bigfoot (Frank Klepacki).

Grinder (Frank Klepacki).

Slave to the System (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xo0cNmCV30


Fighting electric

These will just be more computer game war themes but ones that sound more electronic. Examples:-

Jank (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbiXzB8osYI

Move It (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WudVDVeYuVQ


Fighting ceramic

Due to secondary ceramic's quality, this type combination is probably the most anxiety-provoking or fear-generating combination, so shouldn't be listened to on a weak heart. They are sometimes used in computer games in very intense situations. Such as these:-

Vs Predators (from 'Aliens vs Predator' computer game).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFXEVGn-CXQ

Frenzy (Steve Jablonsky).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tefHnq1ZW9I


Fighting oil

The only example I currently have confirmed of this type is one which does involve violence of some kind with an oily subject:-

Cathouse (Danielle Dax).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU6dIBK7_ig


Fighting bug

This is quite a niche combination - a violent theme about bugs - but, as usual, there are examples displaying this exact type. Here is probably the most obvious one:-

Bugs (Basil Poledouris).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V1HS0KradY


Fighting grass

This combination is relatively very hard to pull off, since it has to be violent but, at the same time, about nice bloomy plants - this has been done very neatly in this example:-

The Roses of Prince Charlie (The Corries).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiGwrHiZFBc


Fighting poly

A possible candidate for this combination would be this adrenaline-inducing track:-

Crush (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2M-Ir9u6bk


Fighting rock

This is also a surprisingly niche combination because secondary rock means it is not necessarily a rock music, but it has rock quality. There are just a couple of examples I have:-

Sometimes (The Stranglers).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR_oNjKzMo0

Act on Instinct (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4AUY-v1nsE


Fighting glass

This combination would be a bitty one centred around fighting, so this is a good example:-

Guile Theme (from 'Street Fighter').
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iof5pRAIZmw


Fighting ice

This combination would be a fighting theme with an icy quality, like a war in the snow. Again a very niche type, but, fortunately, Command and Conquer has the answer again:-

200 Meters (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkTmsLb876w


Fighting steel

To get this combination, the fighting quality should be the most prominent, otherwise it would just be 'steel fighting' which is a much more common type. Being a 'screamer' also helps to make the metal quality secondary. Examples of songs that actually cross the line into 'fighting steel' type are here:-

War Machine (AC/DC).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjlBMl6f3hU

The Pursuit of Vikings (Amon Amarth).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-43pOqheMY

Stomp (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6Wz13Q9Hvk

Killing Machine (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNyfcZgzUH8


Fighting air

This is again a very niche type. One would think any air-strike theme would do, but tunes used to play during air strike scenes are often not really suited to this combination. I only have one example that does fall into this combination, but it is probably the best example that really embodies it correctly. It is again from Command and Conquer:-

Canyon Chase (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWgJAEzEm4U
Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI2TSJbpQ-I


Fighting space

Quite a difficult combination to pull off. A war in space could do the job, but then Star Wars uses the ceramic type instead of fighting. Of course, Command and Conquer masters a lot of primary fighting type themes, so they managed it eventually:-

Mechanical Mind (from 'Command and Conquer: Kane's Wrath').

GLA Battle Theme 4 (Bill Brown).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHJEEkawagc


Fighting water

Getting 'fighting water' rather than 'water fighting ' is quite difficult. Perhaps because 'water fighting' is generally better music. The Corries are the only example I have of a song which undoubtedly pulls off the feat of making a song with this combination. Here it is:-

Come O'er The Stream Charlie (The Corries).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-1saKtZdZ8


Fighting dragon

Another difficult combination, since going all out would make it 'dragon fighting' instead of 'fighting dragon'. The examples I have are again from Command and Conquer:-

Prepare for Battle (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MmavaV1-2o

Tiberian Sun Map Music (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usGk9Vu0n4c


Fighting ghost

This has to be a primary fighting tune with a ghostly or scary secondary quality. Again very difficult to pull off, but computer games still win out when trying to embody this type:-

Drok (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FgtlpuQqAc

Ghetsis Battle (version 1) (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEbLAFHo5Ts


Fighting poison

The punk band 'The Exploited' made a 45 rpm record just with these two on - they perfectly display how this type combination would sound.

Attack (The Exploited).

Alternative (The Exploited).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvlp_2EW92s


Fighting normal

Another difficult combination which the Corries nailed:-

The Sherramuir Fight (The Corries).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwXNwExeewU

Fighting fairy

An extremely difficult combination, due to its seemingly contradictory types - war and mysticism. This was pulled off quite well in the 'Vikings' TV show. It is also one which is notably extremely different from its reverse ('fairy fighting'). Here is the example:-

Dagr (Wardruna).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HesBcVYe1Jg


Fighting psychic

This is not a type combination I have any examples of currently, either way round. Some may come up in the future. Presumably some violent trance music.


Fighting light

This combination is violent but happy, which doesn't often feature except in some computer games. Probably the most famous one is the usual Pokémon Trainer Battle theme (and some of the ones in other generations). Command and Conquer has one too.

Dogfight (Frank Klepacki).
