This should include a NotJustATournament sub-entry, which is one of the most common fighting game plot types, thanks to {{SNK}}.

!!Not Just a Tournament examples 
*BloodyRoar: The tournaments are simply a means to lure the strongest [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent zoanthropes]], so they can be used as test subjects, by pitting them against others of their kind, who possess legendary beast powers, or genetically enhanced superbeings.
*FatalFury: Geese regularly hosts the King of Fighters as both a means of scouting potential talent for his organization, and to weed out potential threats to his rule over Southtown.
*[[TheKingOfFighters The King of Fighters]]: The trope codifier, as the crux of the series revolves around nefarious plots by different criminal organizations, who either plan to [[SealedEvilInACan unseal the Orochi]], or kidnap and clone [[TheProtagonist Kyo]], or simply steal the powers of the Trinity Team: Chizuru, Kyo, and Iori.
*[[Anime/VariableGeo Variable Geo]]: Like the preceding examples, the cash prize and real estate offered by the VG tournament [[SchmuckBait is simply a means]] to lure [[UnwittingPawn unsuspecting entrants]] to be used as test subjects in order to [[spoiler: [[GrandTheftMe find a suitably powerful host body for Miranda.]]]]
