Presented by HiddenStuffEntertainment.com Table of Contents Street Fighter 5 Game Guide Unofficial Preface Fighting Strategies In Game Mechanics The Motions Beginner Tips Conclusion Free Bonus for our Readers Fighting Strategies In Game Mechanics The Controls Since Street Fighter 5 will be arriving to PlayStation 3, a lot of players are forced to use controllers which are different to what they’re used to. Examples of those would be FightPads, Xbox controllers for PX, and Arcade Sticks. Therefore, this guide was designed to present a few conversions of basic controllers to the PSA4 pads. Here they are: Now, some people will advise you that sticks are all you need, with pads being extremely effective for this Street Fighter version. After all, the Street Fighter 4 EVO champ used PS1 pads to play. Therefore, comfort should be your top priority when playing this game. If you’re having problems with your controller, you may switch into a stick and pad if you wish. Blocking Blocking is a fighting game control often forgotten by many newbies when starting out. This is a necessary control to learn, especially in Street Fighter 4. This is done in the game, where blocking is done through holding yourself away from the opponent. A “Back” for a standing block and “Down and back diagonally” for a crouching block, are viable methods to prevent getting hit. Certain moves are slow to hit, and are therefore blocked best through crouching. Other moves can you break you from a crouch block, and thus you should take care. Always remember than during blocks, you should activate the V-reversal on opponents for an advantage, where the move is described below. Dashing This is a vital part of movement in Street Fighter games, and one that is often ignored by newcomers. Through a Double Tap of the stick forwards or backwards, you can allow your character to perform a quick dash in the selected direction. A back dash will many times allow you to evade an attack’s range, while a forward dash may allow you to come within range of someone for grabbing, or for close- range moves. Thus, you should learn to use move properly. Dashes vary from character to character in range. Thus, make sure you are familiar with the distance that your character can dash while training. EX Moves & the EX Meter The majority of the game’s special attacks have an “EX” mode available for them. The EX variant will cost a segment of 3 from your Super Meter, yet it is a stronger and more powerful variant of the actual special move. An example would be the “EX Hadouken”, with faster travel, double hit, knock downs, and additional damage. It is excellent for catching opponents off-guard. An example if presented below of the Hard Punch Fireball and its EX variant below: EX skills are performed through performing the normal special attack, while hitting more than a single attack button during the move’s end. An example would be the Hadouken which is a “Quarter Circle Forward + Punch”. The EX variant is done with a forward Quarter Circle, and 2 punch bottoms during the finish. If you allow a buildup of the EX meter to the end, you can utilize all 3 bars for a skills called a “Critical Art”. This is also known as Super Moves, which will be described in the skill trees of each character. V-Skills Street Fighter 5 does not have a single overall mechanic for fighting. Every character is provided with unique skills which can be utilized by pressing down both medium buttons at the same time. The skills being unique for each character forces you to practice and learn more about the character’s skillsets. V-Reversals This is a new implementation of Street Fighter 5, which is the reversal. This allows you to strike back at very aggressive opponents. After a forward tap out of a block, simply hit all of your punch buttons. This will cause a character reversing the attack, enabling a knockdown to be performed on them. Timing is crucial when you use a crucial. If you miss, then you will be in a position to be attacked by your opponent again. V-Triggers This system is a replacement of the Revenge Meter and the Ultra Moves. The more damage you take, the more this meter is filled. After the meter gets full, you are allowed to enter a power up state. The states re unique for each character, but they do add to the lethality and power of each. Throws Each character has the ability for throwing when they are close to an opponent. This is done through clicking LP & LK together. Click back when doing it and you may throw the opponent backwards, which will cause a reversal in the screen direction. There are a few characters in-game with the ability to throw midair. Make sure to check the move lists of each for that. Breaking a throw can also be done through clicking LP & LK together when an opponent tries to toss you. Below are pictures which allow you to see a succeeded and a failed through, for timing illustration: Always remember than when an opponent is close to you, it is not likely that they’re doing so to throw you back! Quick Rises & Back Rises During any fight, errors are a possibility, where you may mess up and find yourself thrown to the ground. When doing so, you have 2 options. The first would be to remain on the floor, while waiting for your character to auto rise. The 2nd option would be to perform a quick rise, getting you off the floor quickly. Doing so can give you an advantage, or put you in danger, depending on your opponent’s distance and next move. There are 2 forms of quick rises: In Place (when hitting the ground: Two Punch Buttons OR Down) – Your character gets up in the area they fell in. Away (when hitting the ground: Two Kick Buttons OR Back) – Your character backs up from the area they landed in, before quick rising. There is only 1 instance where you can’t quick rise after getting hit. This is when you get hit with a critical art attack. Being thrown in a situation like that, you only have the ability to quick rise in the place you’re in. Understanding this fact allows you to prevent getting combed as you’re trying to get on your feet. Stuns & the Stun Meters Receiving a blow in the game isn’t just damaging to your health, it also causes a drop in your stun power. Even blocks can cause alterations to your stun bar, albeit at a much slower rate. When this meter gets full, you enter into a stunned mode where you lose power to react appropriately. In such a situation, your opponent can land in free blows on you. Stun Meters actually run out if you take no damage from enemies or are blocking attacks from them. If you are about to be stunned, then it is best to take a step back for a while, then waiting for the bar to exhaust. You’ve Just Finished your Free Sample Enjoyed the preview?

    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. Our mysterious man comes in, revealing his face for the first time: RYU. A Japanese experienced martial artist. The audience goes wild to see him there.

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.

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.

Perinteisen animaation periaatteet, kuten ajoitus ja liikkeen välistys, pätevät pelianimaa- tiossa samalla tavalla kuin elokuva-animaatiossakin. Pelien tekniset rajoitukset ja interaktiivisuus asettavat kuiten- kin lisähaasteita animaatioiden toteuttamiseen tavalla, joka sekä tukee pelimekaniikkaa että on visuaalisesti kiin- nostava. Vetoava hahmoanimaatio on erityisen tärkeää taistelupeligenressä. Varhaiset taistelupelit 1990–luvun alusta käyt- tivät matalaresoluutioista bittikarttagrafiikkaa ja niissä oli alhainen määrä animaatiokehyksiä, mutta nykyään pelien standardit grafiikan ja animaation suhteen ovat korkealla. Viime vuosina monet pelinkehittäjät ovat siirtyneet käyttämään 2d-grafiikan sijasta 3d-grafiikkaa, koska 3d-animaation tuottaminen on monella tavalla joustavampaa. Perinteiselle 2d-grafiikalle on kuitenkin edelleen kysyntää, sillä käsin piirretyn animaation ainutlaatuista ulkoasua ei voi täysin korvata
