Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

I myself remember Time Killers. Anyone else?

 

Time Killers...OMG...way back in the day, like 1992 I think...

 

Musashi, a samurai with two katana blades is the coolest of the cool...maybe excpet for the punk cyber dude with a chainsaw....

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

Man, I forgot all about this thread. It's good to see it surface again. Re-reading it, however, reminds me that the city in Final Fight was actually Metro City, not Mega City.

 

Anyone remember the name of the city in Double Dragon?

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

Let's see, we could also toss in the Soul Edge. I'm sure some of those Samurai Showdown types would go after that.

 

I really just want to see Sagat kick the crap out of Joe Higashi.

How can you hate Joe? 'Sides, Sagat does that & Joe's just gonna get up again, if only so he can moon Sagat.

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

One thing wrong with the writeups:

 

They don't have RAGE Meters!

 

If you are going to write up characters from an SNK fighting game, you have to give them a Rage Meter to fuel their Desperation Moves! It needs to consist of two powers: Absorbtion (to End Reserve) and Aid (to Endurance Reserve). The Absorbtion represents the characters getting hit by attacks and fueling their Rage. The Aid represents the characters using Chi to fuel their Rage, as you are able to do in the actual games (by pressing three attack buttons simultaneously) and when the "meter" is full, they can do their ultimate attacks (later versions of the KoF games, each character had at least 2 Ultimate attacks that needed to be powered up)

 

Some games have the characters build "levels" on their Rage Meter...each time they fill it up, they get a "level". The specific Desperation Move they can use depends on how many "Levels" they've built up on their Rage Meter, up to a maximum of Level 3. To simulate this, simply have an End Reserve of up to 30 points with every 10pts representing 1 level. A Level 1 Desperation move would cost 10 End, a level 2 Desperation move would cost 20 End and a Level 3 Ultimate Desperation move would cost all 30 End. Simply use the Increased End limitation to adjust the Enurance cost of each move accordingly (or Reduced End if necessary, but no level 1 Desperation Move should be over 100 Active points!)

 

See Ninja Hero page 29-30 for more on Absorbtion and Aid in building Rage Meters....

 

Similar power constructs can be used to simulate Limit Breaks a'la Final Fantasy and other Console-style RPG's...

You are right! I have it on my Rugal Bernstein... But Andy, I forgot!

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

Sweet thread! Wish I had known it was here from the beginning! I'm a big fighting game fan, after all. The one thing I'd like to add is the explanation of Dan Hibiki's dislike of Sagat( (why?) as put in the disad.)...his father, Go Hibiki(an homage to SNK's monstrous Mr. Karate) fought Sagat, and was the man that took his eye...Sagat in turn took Go's life(as seen in several SF Alpha 2 pics).

 

Back in the day I converted characters from Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Battle Arena Tohshinden, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Rival Schools, Darkstalkers, etc. for the old Street Fighter RPG from White Wolf. It'd be fun to try and re-build them in Hero. Not to mention some original characters, plus the three lieutenants of "Shadaloo" created by White Wolf(Sagat's pupil Hu The Tiger, M.Bison protege/fellow Ler Drit user Lady Death, and the evil Kabaddi practicioner...)

My pet project for this year is "The World of Edean" my consol Fantasy World. I've run a bit dry while my life unravels a bit, but I sense I'll get pretty far in completing it by fall, so next year? A "Fighting Game" World. I want it to be fairly generic, recognizable, but not copyright violating. Will probably see what genre conventions need to be set for a good Fighting World.

 

anyway. give me a second here....

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

I've made little background changes on the characters; ages and such to keep them at the point where they'd be about now. Also I've done a lot of work to make them all share a single world.

If I actually go through with my Fighting Game World, I'll need to use original, if generic characters. But for my conversions we used a shared SNK/Capcom world. I am thinking of adding the Tekken fighters to my "Game World" simply because they have been really good at maintianing a storyline and the characters are quite interesting. They also have several exhibiting nearly superhuman powers which is a requirement

Okay, I've got Karin almost finished, I think but what is her Rekaken? If I know what it's supposed to accomplish and what it looks like I can work it.

 

 

BTW, one of the things I was planning on using when we played in the "King of (Street)Fighters" world was the option of playing in the future where Mel Masters, Sara (Guile's daugher) and others would be neophyte warriors and the top notch fighters included Sakura, Shingo, Karin, Bao, Athena, Chris, and the other "Fighting Children" of today...

Food: Strawberry cakesStrong Sports: LacrossImportant Things: Peter Rabbit teacup setDisliked Things: GrasshoppersAthena is said to be the present incarnation of the Greek goddess Athena (Saint Seiya?), the goddess of the earth. However, even if she did have a divine reputation, Athena always tries to act like a normal girl, doing such typical stuff for girls such as going to school, shopping, and of course, listening to music! In fact, Athena likes to sing a lot. Her voice almost lets out her divine attributes, and Athena seems to put a lot of feeling in it (although most people think the contrary!).Athena has always been concerned of the evil roaming around the world, and the increasing amount of crime as well. Having been born with a special psychic power, based on the power of the resurrection bird, the Phoenix, Athena vows to use her powers in order to fight for justice, and make evil recoil! However, even a resurrected, psychic, goddess, justice fighter needs some help. While she was traveling back to home from school, she finds a pair of Chinese fellows fighting against a local criminal tough guy. One of them was about Athena's age; the other was just an old drunkard! Both seem to have problems with the big lug, since they don't seem to take the battle too seriously. Athena, taking everything seriously, blows the thug away with a psychic blast; much to the surprise and delight of the two sidekicks. The young boy, later introduced to her as Sie Kensou, proved to take an immediate liking towards Athena. Athena asked the two if they would be willing to help her fight evil. Sie agreed immediately, and as for the old man, soon known as Chin Gentsai, well, he decided to tag along as well...Soon enough, all three began to fight against crime and evil in Japan. Since Kensou also seemed to manage psychic powers as well, the trio was soon to be known as the Psycho Soldiers! All three fought bravely against any evildoers, although most of them didn't pass from your run-of-the-mill criminal or a mob leader.Meanwhile, Athena decided to continue her studies in high school. She is certainly very attracted to Kyo Kusanagi, one of her classmates, but she decided to leave it alone, since she is also a very good friend of Yuki, Kyo's girlfriend (even though it causes quite a scene of fury from Kensou!). She then begins to hear rumors of the King of Fighters tournament, and soon enough, she receives an invitation to participate. Taking along her sidekicks, Athena decides to show the world what true justice does, and in the meanwhile, fight those who threaten mankind. During the pass of the tournaments, Athena has grown more mature and responsible in order to keep up with her duties as a justice fighter. She also has to keep up rejecting Kensou, since the young man doesn't seem to understand when to quit proposing himself to Athena! However, after three tournaments, the Psycho Solider team begins to spark more and more popularity among the world, especially among the young people, who are encouraged with the actions of the brave Psycho Soliders. Athena always forces herself to be the best, not pretending to lose the confidence of thousands of young men and women around the world who send her thousands of letters each week! It was even one fan letter from a invalid girl named Kaori which encouraged her to enter the King of Fighters '97, competition which she did not accept to enter at first. After all, Athena is fighting for the goodfare of all mankind, so she is always up and ready for the challenge! After defending justice for so many years, Athena and her Psycho Soldiers got a well-deserved rest for two years...Period of time in which Athena met Bao, an adoptive student of Chin. Athena liked the kid very much, since he was so cute and so friendly. Bao seemed to like Athena very much as well, and since he too, had very potent psychic powers, he decided to take a cue from Athena's psychic techniques in order to get started. However, Athena could not resist her worries about Kensou, who had begun to lose his psychic powers for some unknown reason. This brought the team to the The King of Fighters '99....Athena fought bravely along her comrades, but once she realized the real purpose of the tournament, being a set-up by Krizalid, Athena decides to take the bad guy down! However, before Athena and the Psycho Soldiers could arrive to the underground base, there was an explosion, and the passage began to fall down! Athena demanded an escape, but midway through, a heavy rock falls on Athena's leg, and can not budge it free. Another rock is about to fall atop Athena and Athena faints before it can hit her. However, Kensou, turning on what remained of his psychic powers, manages to rescue her and exits to salvation....Athena is known to be a very sweet girl among her friends, and very polite too. She is never rude except among gangsters and sometimes, Kensou (whenever he decides to pester a lot). She always helps her friends, and always takes her time to live her life as a normal girl. After all, she has a lot more to live, and life is short! Athena also respects master Chin a lot, although she wishes she will stop drinking for his own health. Being very concerned to where the world is heading to, Athena decides to fight hard for all mankind!Profile from King of Fighters 2003.BTW - they might have done a reboot on the birthdate for some characters. Athena is on the "Highschool Girls Team" and IIRC she should be 23 by now. So.....Background cheefully taken from Tormented Battles, and indepth look at the King of Fighters games (2001)

Athena Asimaya and King of Fighters are owned by SNK.Personality/Motivation: Athena is a dedicated battler of evil, she spends much of her time either training or fighting. The rest of the time is spent trying to be a singing idol. Depending on who you ask, she's either very good or very annoying. In combat she seeks to protect innocents first and win prestige second.Quote: "Take that, Evil!"Powers/Tactics: A trained marital artist with psychic powers. Athena generally fights defensively at first to gauge her opponents strengths, then she lets loose with her psychic attacks or physical attacks depending on which is more suited for the opponent.Campaign Use: A crusading teenager. Athena is a standard girl fighter in terms of physical characteristics, if she's too tough for your fighters drop her dex to 20 and her CON to 18, make her defenses 8 and 12 respectively and drop afew of her special maneuvers. If she's too weak, consider lightning reflexes, a few more combat skill levels and some new psychic abilities.Appearance: Pretty teenager with purple hair and blue (or brown depending on who you ask) eyes. She tends to wear red and purple. Always with hearts and/or stars in the design.

I've decided that I'll be running a game like this this summer, once our King of Fighters expert gets back from Chicago. So far I've got Street Fighter, KOF, AOF, Fatal Fury, Final Fight, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, World Heroes, Bad Dudes, and Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

Well, if it's anything like Fei Long's, a Rekaken is a series of 3 lightning fast punches. Fei Long slides about two steps forward with each punch, and his fist is on fire. I'd assume that hers would be the same.

 

 

BTW, one of the things I was planning on using when we played in the "King of (Street)Fighters" world was the option of playing in the future where Mel Masters, Sara (Guile's daugher) and others would be neophyte warriors and the top notch fighters included Sakura, Shingo, Karin, Bao, Athena, Chris, and the other "Fighting Children" of today...

 

That's pretty sweet. I think I'm setting ours in the mid 90s, to take advantage of all the gang violence going on at the time.

Okay I noticed I have two maneuvers that do 2x KB and then only do Knockdown. One is limited' date=' the other not. Do you think KNockdown only is worth a limitation?[/quote']

 

Sure. The majority of the point cost from x2 KB comes from (IMO) knocking them into an object because of it.

So far I've got Street Fighter, KOF, AOF, Fatal Fury, Final Fight, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, World Heroes, Bad Dudes, and Mike Tyson's Punch Out. [/quote']

Sweet. Look up "Rage of Dragons" its an updated fighter using the Double Dragon Heroes and some interesting new fighters...
