Well, do they have different special attacks when in their Hybrid Forms? I can't remember. I tended to buttonmash with the game and never picked up the intricies.

They have more powerful effects and some creature specific attacks, so I'd say yes ...

THen Multiform it is...

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

Of all the boards for me to forget to check out(too much time in the NGD LOL)...so I'll be giving my take on a few of the recent topics here...

 

I like the student of Akuma, Enforcer...cool stuff.

 

For the birthdates of the characters, I like to use them. When I created Street Fighter 4 I used them as a bit of a benchmark for aging the characters and establishing the setting. I actually also re-worked my own game ideas with these in mind. The years the games came out, at least with SF, did establish ages and a game continuity. These have been thrown out the window by Udon, but I like to think of their continuity as their own thing(Lee only existing as an afterthought, Geki seen only as a corpse). Street Fighter came out in '87, SF2 in '91. I put the Alpha series in between, like one game per year, starting of course with '88 for the first Alpha. That makes Sakura 15 in '89, so she's about 30-31 now. This would also mean Rival Schools took place around the same time, and the fashions actually work. Considering this, I was thinking about running a SF game that takes place now where Sakura is following Ryu's path even more so...maybe Karin could be made a new boss character.

 

Okay...fave game character...OMG that's hard. I could only do that on a game-by-game basis, as it always changes that way. It would also require a separate post!

 

As for Bloody Roar...hmm...when the Zoanthropes transform, they often gain strength, speed, agility, et cetera in addition to new maneuvers...so I'd probably use a Multiform, otherwise you get a lot oh OIHIDs and linked "Aid"s.

I woulden't make Karin a "boss" charater. Instead, I would make her the reasion for the PCs to get together as a team. She should be the one (via her father's company) to fund the charaters on there touriment journy (thoes plain tickets are not cheep, World Wariors). Also, that gives them a reasion to do certan "jobs" for her ("Do this for me, or your walking to China.").

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

Right yer Boss Characters would be Rugal Bernstein's Children. They are cool as sh*t

[Tengu King]

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

I know I statted out boss characters somewhere. In the original SF4 continuity, I had 4 "big bosses" akin to the original SF2, and each was a returning World Warrior from the SF2-3 era. As the "secret" super-boss I had amped up Ryu to be a sort-of anti-Akuma...a true master of Shotokan Karate. The thing was that the "uppercut twin" main characters were Mel (Ken and Eliza's son) and I think Naoko, who was the daughter of Ryu and Chun-Li(The game took place in the 2000-teens). Not sure if it'd fit in the new story I want to do though. Actually, I drew a pic of the adult Sakura yesterday and she came out pretty good.

 

Steriaca-I like that idea for Karin, though i think she'd be funding and may be like a penultimate boss or something. Up her skills and age her accordingly, and she's be a cool foil to a grown Sakura.

[Enforcer84]

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

I'd always liked the idea of grown Sakura and Shingo as (at least) friends.

Quite true. Especaly if you can make her father the one big boss. Basicly imagion all the grace of Karin, with added power in his strikes. Then give him some new attacks which are also graceful.

 

I do wish I could remember his name, thoe. Anyways, he has to be one of the villians. I mean, he pratacly abandoned his daughter in the middel of a forest and said to her "Survive or die".

Interesting...I didn't even know she had a background other than being Sakura's rich rival...

 

Shingo, alas, is a SNK character, and I only know limited info on some of the fighters, mostly the primaries from Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. Found Rugal a bit over-the-top in power level...he just wasn't fun to fight. I hear Mr Karate(aka Go Hibiki LOL) is obscene as well, esp. in "serious" mode.

[Enforcer84]

Re: Fighting Game Hero

 

Shingo is a "Dan" style joke character. He tries to learn the Kusanagi Style from Kyo, but the latter has precious little time for him. He has similar moves but as he is not a Kusanagi he cannot summon flames. He was shown once summoning green flames and rumors persist that he was intended to turn evil.

After the last game KOF2003 (the first of a new story arch) Shingo has been offered training by Kyo Kusanagi's father.

Well, that infomation was learned from the manga Street Fighter Zero Side Story: Sakura's Fast Stand. And since Capcom says that no manga is cannon...

 

By the way, what Karin experenced was a tradition in her famaly. All members who trained in her fighting style had to be brought in the middel of a wild forest, and then abandoned. If thay survived and made it out, thay are considered masters of the fighting style. Karin herself killed a bear in the forest during her stay.

Impressive. Canon or not, a little insight into characters is something I've always liked.

Thanks for the rep. I ment this martial art style for thoes who want to play living fighting video game charaters (as opose to "what if theas charaters are from the reeal world" charaters). Basicly I took all the basic rules I know from many difrent fighting games, and just cramed them into one martial art. In theory, you can simulate the base fighting style of any Street Fighter charater with theas manuvers and some powers.

Background/History: Fighter from Seattle

 

Personality/Motivation: Thanh has an inability to mind his own business. He realizes that he is a powerful fighter and feels it's his responsibility to protect those who can't protect themselves. He has a strong code of honor but can easily get his dander up at the abuse of innocents.

 

He enjoys his skills and privately wishes some hollywood producer would notice him and offer him a life in the movies. He's never told any but his closest friends about this dream however.

 

Quote: "Like Clockwork."

 

Powers/Tactics: A master of Tae Kwon Do and a physically impressive fighter. Thanh is known in some circles as the "Rain Dragon" his ki powers most often take a 'Thunder and Lightning' aspect. Loud crashing blows and lightning energy auras.

 

Campaign Use: Sample character for a FGU

 

Appearance: Above average height with a thick athletic build. He wears his hair short and is impeccably groomed most of the time. He favors modern western fashions. When in scheduled bouts, he wears the traditional 'Gi', sleevless and with the jacket opened to show off his impressive build. His Gi is dark blue at the top fading to white at the bottom of the jacket, the pants fade in from white at the belt to dark blue at his feet.

I'm probably the only guy out there that liked Dhalsim, huh? I mean, come on... how can you lose when the other guy can't even get across the screen to hit you?

 

I've been using the SF characters (don't really know SNK) as heroes and villains in my campaigns since forever; stick with what you know, right? Never actually considered a straight out Fighting Characters campaign... that actually sounds pretty cool.

You could hit Dhalsim's extremeties and his air hang time was a bit much. His 'fireball' throwing speed was slower than most so you could just wear him down with a constant barage of them. The classic 'fireball trap' worked well on him.

 

The beauty of the street fighter series of fighting games was in its addition of a ranged attack. You didn't have to get in dhalsim's face to do damage to him.
