How do you translate "melee" (as in close hand to hand combat)? I keep getting translations such as "collection of diamonds or diamond fragments", 碎钻.
I've also gotten "乱斗", but this means attacking in disorderly fashion.

looks like 肉搏 is best- at least in a gaming context which I really hope is what OP has in mind.:P Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 0:02

@MasterSparkles There was a gaming mode in Starcraft 1 called Melee. It was translated to 混战 back then.. I guess it has become a de facto standard in game speak. Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 2:56

forum.gamer.com.tw/Co.php?bsn=17407&sn=219 - I'm taking roubo to mean melee in this context. But maybe its a case where usage differs in prc and taiwan? Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 11:42

what dictionary did OP use? iciba has several translations, the first of which is the given one, moreover there are 10 example sentences showing the most suitable choice. OP 用的是什么词典呢？爱词霸词典有几个翻译其中第一个的确是＂混战＂。还有１０个例句让使用者做出最适合的选择。– user6065Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 1:31

In gaming terminologies in Mainland China, 'melee' is commonly translated into 近战 when it is opposed to 'ranged attack' (远程).
混战 usually means 'free for all'.
Iciba example (http://www.iciba.com/melee/)
Weapons come in two basic categories: melee and ranged.
武器分为两大类: 近战和远程.
