There are twenty-three moves available to the player.{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2010/03/11/gdc-10-motion-fighter-hands-on |title=GDC 10: Motion Fighter Hands-on |author=Greg Miller |date=March 10, 2010 |website=IGN |publisher=Ziff Davis |access-date=March 17, 2017 |archive-date=March 21, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160321230228/http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/03/11/gdc-10-motion-fighter-hands-on |url-status=live }}

The Fight received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Joystiq said, "Take this mess of iffy hit detection and blocking, tack on perfunctory online multiplayer and a half-realized match gambling system, and you have a game ... sort of." IGN said the game was "a mess that is not only frustrating to play ā it is also tiring and boring." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a better score of two sevens, one six, and one eight for a total of 28 out of 40.
