The World Warriors Version 0.6 Street Fighter The World Warriors Version 0.6 A Thrash Sourcebook By Ewen “Blackbird” Cluney Chapter 1: Introduction shortage, and if you feel my interpretations are incorrect, let me know what and why, and it will be fixed. Street Fighter: The World Warriors is a Thrash adaptation of the best-known fighting game series, none Sources of Street Fighter other than Capcom’s Street Fighter. It also includes rules The Street Fighter series includes a whole lot of for converting characters from Street Fighter: The games (currently about 16, including the EX series but not Storytelling Game into the Thrash system, maneuvers and the Marvel crossovers). There are also a number of all. manga, a live action movie (ugh), anime movie, anime Although probably the single most schizophrenic series, and plenty of other stuff besides. The list below is series of fighting games, it is also the spark that created in chronological order for storyline purposes rather than this genre that we so much enjoy. Long ago (it seems the order of release. that way anyhow) out of the arcades emerged a game Street Fighter called "Street Fighter II." Each machine overflowed with Street Fighter Alpha quarters. And then came more and more versions of it. Street Fighter Alpha 2 And then came a prequel. And then a prequel to the Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold sequel, and we began to wonder if the person coming up Street Fighter Alpha 3 with the titles only has two fingers to count on, and finally Street Fighter II the sequel to the original came, alongside spin-offs and Street Fighter II Championship Edition crossovers. Street Fighter II Turbo And here we are. Its rumored that Capcom won't be Super Street Fighter II making any more Street Fighter games. The greatest Super Street Fighter II Turbo arcade game series, a tangle of continuities, and a whole Street Fighter EX load of great characters (and a few not so great ones here Street Fighter EX Plus and there...) at last bid us farewell. This sourcebook Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha reclaims nearly a decade of fighting game excitement for Street Fighter EX 2 your roleplaying enjoyment. All the old favorites denied Street Fighter III further pixelated combat return in a different form, to do Street Fighter III: Second Impact Giant Attack battle once again. Revision History Translation Note · 0.5 Initial version with only the characters from Alpha Please note that in this book I have opted to use the and Alpha 2 and conversions of SF:STG (excepting original Japanese names rather than the ones that are Animal Hybrid and Elemental stuff). used exclusively in English-speaking countries.

Bison Lord Vega remains unmodified. Balrog Mike Bison Capcom Co., Ltd. owns Street Fighter and all related Vega Balrog characters. Their respective creators likewise own other Shadoloo Shadaloo games and characters mentioned herein. This document is not in any way a challenge to that ownership. A Note On Continuity The people at Capcom are very good at a lot of things, but their sense of continuity evidently leaves a lot to be desired. I've tried to interpret the characters well, and put together a decent picture of the world of Street Fighter, but the information available is often exceedingly sketchy, when available at all, and occasionally contradictory. Any screw-ups are most likely a result of this information Chapter 2: The Underworld With Shadaloo gone, however, the troubles didn't end, as The World of Street Fighter a new threat reared its ugly head. A mysterious organization The world in which the Street Fighter series takes place known only as "the Underworld" has appeared to spread follows the typical fighting game mold, albeit mainly because terror in Shadaloo's place. Under the leadership of the it created that mold in the first place. It is not so different from mysterious Gill, the Underworld has begun to assert its the real world we live in, save in that the mystical is a reality (if power. a hidden one), and martial artists in particular hold great power. Street Fighter In Your Campaign As such, this section is pretty short. So, apart from being able to read up on your favorite characters and make comparisons (even though they're The Street Fighter Tournament based on my opinions of them), what's this book going to do The Street Fighter tournament is regarded as the for your campaign, you might ask. ultimate martial arts competition; the ranking fighters, men Obviously, roleplaying in the Street Fighter world is more and women of truly incredible insight, skill, and power, are or less the whole idea (well, I like writing these things just to known as the World Warriors, and revered by the rest of the write them sometimes, but anyway). This can be approached world. It has been home to countless battles over the years, in any number of ways: but never before have the stakes risen so high as they do 1. Be Your Favorite World Warriors: An obvious option is to now, with Lord Vega's empire growing each day, and Gouki at let players pick out various SF characters and play them. last revealing himself from the shadows. This has good points and bad points. On the good side, it saves time, and gives players (especially new players) Metro City a good frame of reference for how the game works. On The vast expanse of cityscape known as Metro City is in the other fist, it can lead to what some have called many ways your average metropolis. What makes it unusual "characterization rape" -- an overly strong term, but is the problems that have arisen there. In particular, a few effective. This refers to badly characterizing the years ago a powerful terrorist group known as the Mad Gear characters, and while players should certainly be allowed Gang began wreaking havoc. Mayor Mike Haggar called in some leeway -- especially given Capcom's rather some of his friends, including Guy and Cody, to deal with the ambiguous characterization -- the risk of this is the main problem. That they did, only to have the Mad Gear resurface reason I prefer original characters. All that said, the again and again, until the defeat of their leader. version of a given Capcom character you play is not the Even so, afterwards fragments of the Mad Gear still original, and can be expected to change from that remain afterwards, most notably Rolento and Sodom, both template over time. seeking to wreak havoc once more. 2. Old Setting, New Characters: As always, you can come up with original PCs. These can be completely original, Shadaloo or in some way related to other SF characters, whether Shadaloo is the criminal empire built by the infamous trained by or with them, related to them by blood, or Lord Vega. His true origins are a mystery, but he began his whatever. Of course, PCs trained in Ler Drit, Spanish budding empire in Thailand, where, in recent years, he has Ninjitsu, and such should be rare unless the campaign gripped control of a sizable piece of territory, creating the is built around such.

    STREET FIGHTER by Luis Filipe Based on Capcom's videogame "Street Fighter II" Copyright © 2019 This is a fan script [email protected] OVER BLACK. All we hear is the excited CHEER of a crowd. Hundreds of voices roaring in unison, teasing something to come. Under those voices, there is also the rhythmic sound of TRAMPLES on the floor that sound like drums. CUT TO: INT. CORRIDOR - NIGHT A dirty, dimly lit corridor. A few meters ahead, a beam of light leaks through a door that gives access to another scenario. Standing in the corridor hidden in total shadow, a barefoot MAN attired in a white karate gi uniform tightens a black martial arts BELT. We do not see his face. The cheer continues, seeming to be coming from beyond that door in the hallway. After putting on the belt, the man takes a pair of RED GLOVES from his duffel bag, which is on a bench beside him. He wears them calmly. Finally, he also grabs a RED HEADBAND from the bag and ties it around his head. All this is almost ritualistic for him. When completed, the mysterious man walks toward the corridor door where comes the intense light. INT. STREET FIGHTER ARENA - NIGHT A large warehouse-like room. Wooden boxes surround the boundaries of the fighting area. And behind these boxes are the spectators, some sit in stands and others stand on feet.

  • Adjustment Description Alterations to V-Shift's
    Adjustment Description Abilities granting invincibility or armor from the 1st frame, as well as low- risk or high-return moves invincible to throws have all been adjusted to have less effective throw invincibility. Alterations to V-Shift's Considering V-Shift's offensive and defensive capabilities, normal throws offensive/defensive should have enough impact to reliably handle V-Shifts, but characters with capabilities the invincible abilities mentioned above had an easy way to deal with throws and strikes. This gave their defense such a strong advantage that offensive opponents struggled against it. These adjustments seek to correct this issue. These general adjustments are a continuation of previous adjustments. Improvements to While V-Skills and V-Triggers have already been adjusted overall, players infrequently used V-Triggers tend to use one V-Skill and V-Trigger over the other, so we have further and V-Skills strengthened the techniques themselves and the moves that rely on their input. Some characters have been rebalanced in light of previous adjustments. We have buffed characters who were lacking in strength or who were Rebalancing of some largely left alone in previous adjustments. characters Characters with downward adjustments have not had their moves altered significantly; rather, the risks and returns of moves have been properly balanced. Balance Change Overview We've adjusted Nash's close-quarters attack, standing light kick, to yield more of an advantage on hit, and we have further improved Nash's impressive mid to long-distance combat. Standing light kick was previously adjusted to have faster start-up and to be easier to land, but we noticed that it didn't grant the same rewards as it did for other characters.

    c Copyright 2013 Alexander Jaffe Understanding Game Balance with Quantitative Methods Alexander Jaffe A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: James R. Lee, Chair Zoran Popovi´c,Chair Anna Karlin Program Authorized to Offer Degree: UW Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington Abstract Understanding Game Balance with Quantitative Methods Alexander Jaffe Co-Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James R. Lee CSE Professor Zoran Popovi´c CSE Game balancing is the fine-tuning phase in which a functioning game is adjusted to be deep, fair, and interesting. Balancing is difficult and time-consuming, as designers must repeatedly tweak parameters and run lengthy playtests to evaluate the effects of these changes. Only recently has computer science played a role in balancing, through quantitative balance analysis. Such methods take two forms: analytics for repositories of real gameplay, and the study of simulated players. In this work I rectify a deficiency of prior work: largely ignoring the players themselves. I argue that variety among players is the main source of depth in many games, and that analysis should be contextualized by the behavioral properties of players. Concretely, I present a formalization of diverse forms of game balance. This formulation, called `restricted play', reveals the connection between balancing concerns, by effectively reducing them to the fairness of games with restricted players. Using restricted play as a foundation, I contribute four novel methods of quantitative balance analysis. I first show how game balance be estimated without players, using sim- ulated agents under algorithmic restrictions.

Harper November 2010 © 2010 Todd L. Harper. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play by TODD L. HARPER has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Mia L. Consalvo Associate Professor of Media Arts and Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT HARPER, TODD L., Ph.D., November 2010, Mass Communications The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play (244 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Mia L. Consalvo This dissertation draws on feminist theory – specifically, performance and performativity – to explore how digital game players construct the game experience and social play. Scholarship in game studies has established the formal aspects of a game as being a combination of its rules and the fiction or narrative that contextualizes those rules. The question remains, how do the ways people play games influence what makes up a game, and how those players understand themselves as players and as social actors through the gaming experience? Taking a qualitative approach, this study explored players of fighting games: competitive games of one-on-one combat. Specifically, it combined observations at the Evolution fighting game tournament in July, 2009 and in-depth interviews with fighting game enthusiasts. In addition, three groups of college students with varying histories and experiences with games were observed playing both competitive and cooperative games together.

    4. The Street Fighter Lady Invisibility and Gender in Game Composition Andy Lemon and Hillegonda C Rietveld Transactions of the Digital Games Research Association December 2019, Vol. 5 No. 1, pp. 107-133. ISSN 2328-9422 © The text of this work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution — NonCommercial –NonDerivative 4.0 License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc- nd/ 2.5/).

The respective owners reserve all rights ABSTRACT The international success of Japanese game design provides an example of the invisibility of female game composers, as well as of gendered identification in game music production and sound design. Yoko Shimomura, the female composer who produced the iconic soundtrack for the 1991 arcade game, Street Fighter II (Capcom 1991), seems to have been invisible to game developers and music producers, which is partly due to the way in which the game is credited as a team effort. Regardless of their personal gender identity, game composers respond to themed briefs by 107 108 The Street Fighter Lady drawing on transnational musical ideas and gendered stereotypes that resonate with the Global Popular. Game music, as imagined as suitable for hyper-masculine game arcades, seems to draw on a masculinist aesthetic developed in Hollywood compositions. In turn, Street Fighter II’s music and the competitive game culture of arcade fighting games has been interwoven with masculinist music scenes of hip-hop and grime. The discussion of the music of Street Fighter II and the musical versions it inspired, nevertheless highlights that although seemingly simplified gendered stereotypes are reproduced within the game, gender identification itself can be complex within the context of game music composition.

  • Transgender in Games a Comparative Study of Transgender Characters in Games
    Transgender in Games A Comparative Study of Transgender Characters in Games Emil Christenson and Danielle Unéus Faculty of Arts Department of Game Design Bachelor’s Thesis in Game Design, 15 Credits Programme: Game Design and Graphics Supervisors: Ann-Sofie Lönngren, Hans Svensson Examiner: Masaki Hayashi September, 2017 Abstract This thesis contains an analysis of transgender characters in games. The method for selecting the characters was based on the importance of the character in the game with the requirement that the game must have sold at least half a million units. The goal was to analyse well-known characters in gaming history to get an overview of how the game industry has represented transgender in games. Out of 102 characters only six of them met the requirements and have been analysed with the use of queer theory. Gender and how the characters break the norms of what is feminine and what is masculine is in focus. In the analysis, the characters are examined through their mannerism, design, personality and dialogue. The analysis is then summarized into identifiable patterns. The result of this thesis is a better understanding of how transgender characters are portrayed in the game industry. Keywords: Transgender, Video Games, LGBTQ, Character Representation, Queer Theory Abstrakt I denna uppsats analyseras transgenuskaraktärer i spel. De karaktärer som analyseras har valts ut baserat på hur mycket karaktären syns i spelet och ett krav är att spelet måste ha sålt minst en halv miljon exemplar. Målet var att analysera välkända transgenuskaraktärer från spelhistorien för att få en överblick över hur spelindustrin representerar transgender i spel.
