How do I make a fighting game?

I am asking like how will you make the health go down and if that is not used, how do u make it so after this many hits, the boss is dead?

For both of these things you will most likely have to use variables.

A variable for health can be a number variable with a value of e.g. 100, which you decrease a specific amount each time you are hit. For a health bar, you can make 5 or so squares one alongside each other to represent a bar, then once the health variable reaches a certain point (e.g. 90), then you make one of the bars invisible, thus showing a decrease in health. Once health reaches 0, you can make a method/animation for the character/enemy to die.
