There are 3 styles of fighting that i will break down. There is Freestyle, Turn-Based, and Story Battles.

Freestyle Battle - The fighters battle each other in a chat room at normal speed and a ref decides what damage is done by looking and determining from player stats.

Turn-Based - The fighters go one at a time, you guys know the drill

Story Mode - If you guys don't feel like battling, then just let the owner know, and he'll type up a battle and put it on the message board.
