Requirements and unknowns
What is Friday Fighters?
Friday Fighters is a free 2D fighting game inspired by the Friday films, made by a creator who goes by LMG. You can play it straight in your browser at fridayfighters.com: pick one of 40 fighters from Friday, Next Friday or Friday After Next, add a sidekick, and win two rounds before your opponent does.
It is an unofficial fan tribute. The film characters and names belong to their owners. If you like it, the sitcom-inspired Martin: No Filter Fighters plays in a very similar way.

- Your meter holds up to three bars and carries over between rounds. Save it for a Super or an Ultra.
