[STYLISH ACTION]
PROS
>coined by Hideki Kamiya himself, creator of the first DMC and first Bayonetta
>Capcom officially uses it as a genre classification for DMC4 and DMC5
>stylish right there first and foremost in the name making it simple for everyone to get what's the genre all about
>doesn't sound cringy and is on point

CONS
>Kamiya is bit of a sperg
>depending on who you ask it might exclude other hardcore action games such as Ninja Gaiden because they're not focused on being stylish and carefree

[CHARACTER ACTION]
PROS
>popular enough for people to know that it means hardcore action games such as DMC/MGR/NG/Bayo/GH etc.

CONS
>coined by Liam from Super Best Friends Play Youtube channel
>mostly used by reddit and other cringy cucks
>doesn't make any fucking sense
>why in the fuck is "character" there? when most of these game have multiple characters?
>fuck every single game has characters
>just a retarded and unclear title all around

[SPECTACLE FIGHTER]
PROS
>it has "spectacle" in the name which is nice and even more inclusive than "stylish" since Ninja Gaiden and MGR are not focused on style but still feature a focus on different spectacles

CONS
>coined by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw from Zero Punctuation
>then popularized by Total Biscuit in his DmC video where he shits on original DMC fans
>these games aren't fighters for fuck's sake

[HACK & SLASH]
PROS
>sounds kinda cool

CONS
>coined by couple of sweaty D&D neckbeards to mock the filthy casuals
>now used to describe Diablo clones
>also starting to be used by retarded gaming journalists
>isn't inclusive enough because you don't hack and slash people in things like God Hand and lots of these games feature maces or fist weapons that can neither hack nor slash

[CUHRAAAAAYZE]
