Fighter: The Storytelling Game</i> using only the core rulebook and <i>Secrets of the Shadoloo</i> but you still
want <a href="http://streetfighterrpg.blogspot.com/2010/11/street-fighter-martial-arts-styles.html">a wider range of martial arts</a> to be available to the characters. This post
offers a quick and dirty way to accomplish that. It’s based on a simple
premise—that you can create a reasonably large range of styles with a few
tweaks to the existing martial arts in the game.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve been meaning to do a more extensive job of creating and
organizing a large list of styles, but it is a very time-consuming process. This
is an attempt at a workable system that gets me to a large style list without
the time investment needed to create entire styles from scratch. In campaign
play, I imagine I would expand on this to develop a full suite of styles over
time. For now, though, this will do for pick up games. (<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3028860/Street%20Fighter/A%20World%20of%20Martial%20Arts%20for%20SFtSG.pdf">pdf copy here.</a>)</span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Notes</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">These are cinematic styles, so they play very fast and loose
with reality. I’ve made some adjustments to named styles to make them at least
somewhat better resemble their video game or real world counterparts where I
had some relevant knowledge, but they’re still very loose. For example, there
are still punches in styles that don’t include much punching, and so on. There’s
a whole lot of artistic license in here that won’t hold up to the scrutiny of
martial arts connoisseurs. I'm ok with that.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Where the new style differs from the base style in terms of
starting Chi and Willpower, the new style’s starting Chi/Will is given in the
text. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">You’ll need to reinterpret many existing moves to fit the
look of the style. I haven’t included much in the way of description, but
Google and Wikipedia are good starting points. For example, a move like Siberian
Bear Crusher might be reinterpreted as a shoot and slam for a wrestler, a
flying power bomb for a professional wrestler, and a quick forward dash
followed by a wrist lock throw for Aikido. For a brawler from the streets,
Flying Head Butt may stay a flying head butt… or it may be the result of
dashing into someone and straight up shoulder checking them or just slamming
into them, as countless <i>Final Fight</i> battles
have shown.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I haven’t included many heavily weapon-based styles in the
list, and the styles that are included are a fairly ad hoc collection.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Multiples
are included for certain styles in order to bring the number of items on the
list to 100 (there are 71 unique entries on the list), in case you want to roll
up random styles from this list</span>.</span></li>

What do you think about that?Sometimes you have a tournament and need to establish some prior history or attitudes between NPC fighters. You can choose one fighter to roll for and read the table from that fighter's perspective, or you can roll once for each.<br />
<br />
Also available in <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3028860/Street%20Fighter/We%20have%20a%20fight%20booked.%20What%20do%20you%20think%20about%20that.pdf">a printer friendly format</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This is a sport, and I'm looking forward to a good fight.<br />
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You have a problem with me for personal reasons. I stole your girl/guy, and I'm not going to apologize. I'll try not to make you look too bad out there.<br />
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I always beat you. This time won't be any different.<br />
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I always win this one. It's just a good match up for me.<br />
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I've beaten you before. This fight is going to go just like the last one.<br />
6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Remember the last time? I beat you so bad it was embarrassing for both of us.<br />
7.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>For me, it's just another fight, but for you it seems to be personal. I don't know why.<br />
8.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're jealous of my skill. You've been trying to copy me. We both know it.<br />
9.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm successful, and you want that, and it's making you hungry. Good. But don't forget I got to where I am for a reason.<br />
10.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're just another W on my record.<br />
11.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I have to beat you to move up. It's the next logical step for me.<br />
12.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I have no respect for you as a fighter.<br />
13.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I just don't like you.<br />
14.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Nobody likes you. I'm doing everybody a favor here.<br />
15.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're famous, and that makes this a no lose fight for me.<br />
16.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're tough, but I can handle it. That just makes me work harder.<br />
17.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're not even a real fighter. You're just a martial artist.<br />
18.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're school/style isn't very good.<br />
19.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You don't do your homework and study the tapes like I do, and it's going to cost you.<br />
20.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Everyone knows you're a natural, but you don't train hard enough.<br />
21.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Everyone falls. It's your turn.<br />
22.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I've been working hard, and it's my time now.<br />
23.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm going out there and I'm going to outwork you.<br />
24.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You've got heart, that much we know. But is it enough?<br />
25.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm going to take you deep, and test your heart.<br />
26.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You never work enough on conditioning. You're going to get tired and sloppy, and I'll be ready.<br />
27.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're going to make a mistake, and it'll only take one. I'm going to capitalize on it.<br />
28.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It's always a joy to watch you fight, and I'm looking forward to going up against you.<br />
29.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Let's go out there and put on a good show for the fans.<br />
30.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I always give everything, no matter who my opponent is.<br />
31.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm going to get you out of your comfort zone.<br />
32.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm going to beat you at your own game.<br />
33.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I've been studying your tapes, and I know your openings.<br />
34.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm a warrior, and this is going to be a war, not a sport fight.<br />
35.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You crossed the line when you said those things about me in that interview. I'm going to go out there and shut you up.<br />
36.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Your last fight made you famous, but it was a fluke, and I'm going to prove it.<br />
37.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're a legend/rising star, but you're getting slow/old/careless, and I'm going to take advantage of that.<br />
38.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It's my night.<br />
39.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We've trained together, and I know your game.<br />
40.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You've beaten me in training but this is the real thing, and it's going to be different.<br />
41.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're a good friend. Let's test each other out there.<br />
42.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm better than you.<br />
43.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You don't even deserve to be in the ring with me.<br />
44.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're a wannabe.<br />
45.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You've got no heart, and I know it. You've been lucky so far, but I'm going to hurt you, and you're going to quit.<br />
46.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm going to make you look bad in front of your friends/sensei/girl/guy/family<br />
47.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You've had it easy, just like everybody else. You haven't had to work as hard as me to get here. You don't want it like I want it.<br />
48.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I don't care who you are -- it's all the same to me. They keep putting 'em in front of me, and I keep knocking 'em down.<br />
49.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Last time, our fight ended in a controversial decision. This time we're going to set the record straight.<br />
50.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We're one-for-one. Let's settle this.<br />
51.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I've beaten everyone else from your camp/dojo/family. I don't think you're going to be the one to change that.<br />
52.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I've beaten your sensei/trainer/teacher. You're not going to be any trouble.<br />
53.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Last time, we got in a fight in the hotel bar/elevator/parking lot. This time you don't have your friends with you.<br />
54.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You worry too much about advertising and self-promotion and your pretty abs and not enough about fighting.<br />
55.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're just a fighter, not a true martial artist.<br />
56.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I fight to test myself, and you are a worthy test.<br />
57.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm an animal in there. You're going to regret taking this fight.<br />
58.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You betrayed me when you switched camps. That hurt. This is going to hurt too.<br />
59.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I train with people who've trained with you, and I have your number.<br />
60.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You hired my old trainers to prep you for this fight, but it's not going to help.<br />
61.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Our teams/schools are longstanding rivals, and I need to win this one for my team.<br />
62.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Our teams/schools are longstanding rivals, but that doesn't matter to me. I just want to have a good fight.<br />
63.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I've seen you fight, and you're always safe. You won't be safe in the ring with me.<br />
64.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I've seen you fight, and it's boring point-scoring. I'm going to make this one exciting.<br />
65.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm going to get on you and smother you, not give you room to move, make you play my game.<br />
66.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I've seen you fight, and it's always exciting. This fight won't be any different.<br />
67.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This is a great opportunity for both of us to get some new fans and raise our profiles.<br />
68.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I respect your skill as a fighter, but I'm going to win this one.<br />
69.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Mutual respect.<br />
70.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I have to admit, you beat me pretty bad last time. But I'm a different fighter than I was back then.<br />
71.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What exactly is your beef with me?<br />
72.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm going to pick you apart.<br />
73.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Mutual disrespect.<br />
74.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We've been trying to make this fight happen for a long time. Finally we're going to find out who is stronger.<br />
75.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It's been a while. Let's see who's stronger now.<br />
76.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If I didn't know any better, I'd think you have an unhealthy obsession with me. <br />
77.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You have a chip on your shoulder. You need to get over that if you're going to grow as a person and a fighter.<br />
78.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You think you're stronger than you are. This is going to be a wake up call.<br />
79.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You've had a good run lately, but you're due for a loss.<br />
80.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You've had a few wins, but you keep getting lucky.<br />
81.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You gave me my first loss, and it's time to avenge it.<br />
82.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Your game has holes in it, and I'm going to exploit them.<br />
83.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You've dishonored/disrespected your school/team/dojo, and you've got this coming.<br />
84.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You've dishonored/disrespected my school/team/dojo, and you've got this coming.<br />
85.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You killed my teacher!<br />
86.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're secretly in league with Shadoloo, and I know it.<br />
87.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're good. But not good enough.<br />
88.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Your style is unusual, and hard to read, but I'm going to go out there and break it.<br />
89.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm going to go out there and fight my fight, and win.<br />
90.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're looking past me to your next opponent. That's a mistake.<br />
91.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You've got no soul, kid.<br />
92.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're all business, no heart.<br />
93.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I'm a fan. I'm looking forward to seeing how I measure up.<br />
94.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You always choke in the big fights, and we both know it.<br />
95.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're a known cheater, but it's not going to save you.<br />
96.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You're basically a bully. And I hate bullies.<br />
97.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We have a friendly rivalry.<br />
98.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We have a bitter rivalry.<br />
99.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I've taught you some things. Now you're going to get your chance to prove yourself.<br />
100.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Remember that time I kicked your ass? Yeah, so do I.<br />Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-14049806386364380642011-10-30T16:18:00.001-04:002011-10-30T22:03:29.476-04:00Tell me about your Sensei<b>Roll 1d100 </b>(<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3028860/Street%20Fighter/Tell%20me%20about%20your%20Sensei.pdf">pdf version</a>)<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">In the core rules, no attacks have higher than a +2 speed. Higher speeds are reserved for movement and defensive maneuvers, exclusively. The highest speed core moves are Jab, Cannon Drill, Air Throw, and Stunning Shout. Air Throw is limited by the requirement that the opponent also be aerial for it to work, and Stunning Shout deals no actual damage—it just causes some degree of stun that will, hopefully, cancel the opponent’s attack or give the opponent a penalty next round. Its usefulness in a one-on-one fight is limited if used to interrupt—it amounts to spending a Chi to stop an opponent’s attack. If the opponent has chosen a heavy-hitting move, this could be fairly useful. If the opponent is doing something simple, however, it’s best to take the hit and then use the Stunning Shout in the hopes of setting something up next round. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Secrets of the Shadoloo</i> introduces Tiger Knee as the fastest attack in the game. In the right combo (especially a Block combo), it can beat most fighters’ Block speeds. It makes for a good “backup plan” type maneuver. In a Block combo, it could be aborted to and used to do some serious damage and cause knock down. Elbow Smash is also a powerful addition—with its Speed and Damage, it is like a cheap Cannon Drill in some ways. The extra movement of Cannon Drill would often not be worth the Willpower cost, since unlike the video game, the maneuver doesn’t cause knock down in the RPG. Elbow Smash is also great just about anywhere in a combo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-34610085793682106982010-12-13T23:03:00.002-05:002010-12-13T23:03:51.191-05:00Diving Attacks in Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game<div class="MsoNormal"><b>Diving Attacks in <i>Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game</i><o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">The main rules are inconsistent here about straight line maneuvers—some of these are, others aren’t, and the only possible game balance issue that might be related is the difference between maneuvers that must be executed in the opponent’s hex. Even this is suspect, though, as most of these maneuvers have high enough movement that it shouldn’t matter. It is conceptually odd that T. Hawk can weave all over with Diving Hawk, not worrying about moving in straight lines at all while poor Dhalsim has to move in a straight line and hope you don’t step out of the way.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Flying Heel Stomp is a nice maneuver that makes it possible to hit your opponent but stay out of their reach. Beast Roll is weird, but could be useful in a group battle because it moves away at -2, hits anything there, then moves forward at +2, hitting anything there. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Overall, these special Athletics maneuvers rival Focus maneuvers for “weird effects.” They aren’t all easily summarized with a few “effects” descriptors, and they often include very specific instructions about how they move. Flying Punch continues this tradition. It has a fantastic movement, one of the highest in the game, offset by the fact that the fighter must move past the opponent and then return in order to execute the attack. </div>Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-58623289983310769682010-12-13T22:59:00.002-05:002010-12-13T22:59:51.373-05:00Grabs in Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><b>Sustained Holds in <i>Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game</i><o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Throws have a lot more variety, and they are the place to go for the high-damage wrestling maneuvers. There is little repetition in the maneuvers—each throw is at least somewhat different from the others. I’ve included Knee Basher with the throws as well as the holds because it is, in a sense, both—it has the sustained effect of a hold and the KD effect of a throw. This makes it either one of the best holds in the game, or one of the best throws, depending on your viewpoint. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Spinning Piledriver and Storm Hammer are nearly identical, except that Spinning Piledriver has a movement of Two while Storm Hammer ensures that the characters land in the same hex. Both are advantages, although the second one is only effective if you’ve already managed to catch your opponent in the Storm Hammer to begin with. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Slow wrestlers often have trouble landing many of these maneuvers if facing savvy opponents. One strategy to get around this would do well to have high damage dizzy combos to set up opponents whom they could then crush with high damage grabs while dizzied. Combos are another, though they aren’t guaranteed to hit either. Otherwise, only Spinning Piledriver and Siberian Bear Crusher could be counted on as relatively likely to hit, and those only as long as the opponent hasn’t interrupted the grappler immediately and caused a knock down or put them in a grab or other move that cancels the attack. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Even though the heavy damage maneuvers in Grab are throws, a good sustained hold is often a better way for a slow, high strength fighter to go for the win. The high strength helps ensure that the hold will not usually be broken off too early, and it keeps the damage output high over the course of multiple rounds.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">In spite of its low damage, Flying Tackle is a potentially problematic maneuver. It has excellent movement, causes knockdown, and provides a bonus to speed with grabs the following turn. Large speed disparities can result when you also put it in a combo. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Choke Throw and Air Suplex are also strong alternatives to Air Throw. Air Suplex is fairly well balanced because of its low speed and reliance on the opponent being airborne. It’s the poor man’s Air Throw—not as powerful, but doesn’t cost a Willpower, either. Choke Throw is more powerful because it hits standing or aerial opponents, regardless, and it lands the fighters together in the same hex. It and Flying Tackle are the only two grabs that have good movement without a Willpower cost.</div>Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-16174199575284459772010-12-13T22:48:00.000-05:002010-12-13T22:48:30.882-05:00Rising Attacks in Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few years ago, I wrote up some short analyses of the special maneuvers in the core book. I used to have these online elsewhere (and they're still up), but I thought I'd move them over here to put everything in one place.</div>

I'll start with a short comparative analysis of rising attacks,
such as the Dragon Punch, Thunderstrike, etc., in <i>Street Fighter: The

Dragon Punch is mechanically identical to Flying Thrust
Kick, and Flaming Dragon Punch is identical to Dragon Kick, aside from being
based off different techniques. This reduces the number of unique “rising
attacks” to 7. It’s worth noting that Flaming Dragon Punch and Dragon Kick only
hit twice if the fighter is adjacent to his opponent at the start of the round.</div>

Thunderstrike is interesting. It is fairly powerful due to

by other rising attacks: 1) it does not cause Knock Down, even on Aerial
opponents. 2) The fighter must start the round adjacent to his opponent and
must enter the opponent’s hex in order to use Thunderstrike. These drawbacks
are offset by a nice benefit: <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">after</span>
dealing damage, the fighter can finish their movement.</div>

game—they work differently and are not overpowered. Tiger Knee is incredibly fast
and causes Knock Down, but its stats are offset by its high Willpower cost. Forward
Backflip Kick is excellent if you catch the opponent in the air, but it isn’t a
complete loss if the opponent doesn’t go aerial.</span>Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-30590029182070115322010-12-08T22:47:00.000-05:002010-12-08T22:47:52.086-05:00Automatic Successes (the Storyteller System's "take 10" rule)<b>Preliminaries</b>: Street Fighter uses the original Storyteller system, which is a dice pool system. You add your score in an attribute (generally rated 1-5, though it is possible to go higher) to your score in an ability (also generally rated 1-5). You then roll this many dice and count as successes those dice that come up with results matching the target number or higher. In the original Storyteller system used in Street Fighter, the default difficulty is 6.<br />
<br />
<b>Automatic Successes</b><br />
<i>In Street Fighter, if your dice pool equals or exceeds the difficulty number of the roll, you automatically succeed on the action, with one success (p. 33). </i>This means that for most tasks, having a 3 in an attribute and a 3 in a skill is sufficient to get an automatic success, without rolling. Somehow I never really used this rule. It would have improved our Street Fighter games if I had.<br />
<br />
A dice pool of 6 isn't that hard to get. Characters should have routinely been able to do things like notice something in the environment without rolling (Perception + Alertness), climb a typical obstacle (Dexterity + Athletics), or gather information about recent local Shadoloo activities in an area (Charisma + Streetwise).<br />
<br />
I'll certainly be using this rule now.<br />
<br />
How I managed to miss this useful, actually <i>good</i> rule, which is pretty clearly stated, yet managed instead to follow the bad parts of the game's GMing advice (White Wolf's wrong-headed, common advice to ignore the results of die rolls in order to protect the GM's story, to lie about rolls instead of letting rolls stand and seeing where they'll go, and so on), I'll never know.Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-2456850425796948622010-12-07T15:11:00.000-05:002010-12-07T15:11:08.598-05:00Sustained HoldWhile browsing the SFtSG rulebook last night, I noticed something interesting in the section on "Sustained Holds" on page 140. It's not something I had noticed before, and it's not something I've seen discussed on other street fighter rpg sites. I'm not sure if that's because it's a dead end or because it was obvious to others. Here's the quote: <blockquote><i>If a wrestler executing a Sustained Hold scores at least one Health Level of damage, he has tied up his opponent. The opponent can do nothing until she escapes from the hold. The victim is allowed one escape attempt just after the end of the combat turn, before the new turn begins. The victim must defeat the wrestler in a contested roll of Strength versus Strength. </i></blockquote><blockquote><i>If the victim does not break free, she loses her action next turn. The wrestler can choose to play the same Combat Card next turn and automatically gets to inflct damage on his held opponent whenever his Speed allows him to act during the turn. The wrestler may also decide to drop the hold and play a different Combat Card the following turn.</i> </blockquote><blockquote>Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game, p. 140</blockquote><div>We always played it that if a sustained hold was released by the fighter, both fighters could choose a new maneuver for the following round, and I think that's a good interpretation of the intent of the section. But there's another interpretation here, and an interesting one: that after winning the contested roll to maintain the hold, the wrestler can voluntarily choose a different attack next turn. The victim (who lost the roll to break free) cannot choose an attack because they have lost their action. </div><div><br />
</div><div>This would open up seriously interesting options for grapplers, who could use one of the faster grabs from their repertoire to snare an opponent and then switch to a more powerful attack the following round if they have succeeded in keeping the victim in the hold. This might be too powerful -- fast grapplers are already holy terrors -- but it's an interesting thing to think about. </div>Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-83853792047392141762010-12-07T14:59:00.000-05:002010-12-07T14:59:18.771-05:00Renewal of ConnectionAfter a few years of playing a game, a lot of rulings, rules drift, and full fledged house rules accumulate. If you have a pretty steady group, this accumulation is gradual and can seem much more minor than it is. One of the interesting things to come out of the "retro" gaming movement, and the OSR in particular, is the idea of going back to the source. The OSR expects and encourages house rules, but at the same time, there is a real interest in digging into the original texts and seeing what's in there before interpreting and modifying away. <div><br />
</div><div>The last time I embarked on a Street Fighter "Revision," I was steeped in years of game play. This time, picking up where I left off, I find I have a bit more perspective on the house rules we developed back then. In fact, in reading some of the interesting rulings and rules scattered about on the various Street Fighter fan blogs that are still out there, it's interesting to see the same core sets of issues being discussed that we ran into in our games, and in many cases similar kinds of solutions being reached. But not in all cases! And where they differ, there are some very interesting ideas. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Between the influence of the retro-movements and some time spent reviewing Street Fighter RPG resources online, I've found myself more and more wanting to go back to the source and start from there. This doesn't mean I'll be throwing away all the work we did over the years to develop additional moves and styles, but I do think I'll be approaching the rules discussions and additions on this blog from a different perspective than I would have five or six years ago. Instead of deep structural changes that effectively transform Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game into "my version," I'll be hewing much more closely to the original. I'll talk about our house rulings but refrain from making quite as many fundamental changes. I'll approach adding new special maneuvers and styles from just that perspective -- <i>adding</i>, not replacing wholesale. </div><div><br />
</div><div>In that spirit, I'll note that for my purposes, Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game will consist of two books: </div><div><ul><li><i>Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game</i></li>
<li><i>Secrets of the Shadoloo</i></li>
</ul></div><div>I think players of the game will know why I've made that decision. I'll also be beginning from the beginning, by rereading these two texts and seeing what I can discover. I've already noticed some interesting things that have me thinking. </div>Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-64052965495204475812010-12-06T23:32:00.001-05:002010-12-13T01:12:57.912-05:00Street Fighter Special Maneuvers -- An Expanded ListI've nearly covered the preliminaries for my house styles list for Street Fighter, but before moving forward I need to set out one more basic piece of information: the list of special maneuvers. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our main Street Fighter run lasted roughly from the game's release in 1994 until 2003. The bulk of this covered three campaigns, and I still have copious notes. In that time, we added a lot of additional special maneuvers and martial arts styles to the game. What I'm working on now is in many ways little more than a reorganization and clarification of those materials, though of course it is influenced by the other gaming (and thinking about gaming) that I've done since. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few years ago, I put together a working table of all the special maneuvers we were using in a single table. That document will be a starting point for the martial arts style project. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3028860/Street%20Fighter%20Expanded%20Special%20Maneuver%20List.pdf">Street Fighter Special Maneuvers</a> (pdf)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I use a lot of shorthand in the maneuver list to make it possible to squeeze all the information into the table format. Some clarifications can be found <a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B5Fy9dv57GVUZTk2MzUyZDctZTljYS00Y2YyLWI3MGQtOGYzMzc0Y2M1Zjgx&hl=en">here</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These are both "living" documents, which I'll be updating as we progress.</div>Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-16165189182592491122010-12-06T17:59:00.000-05:002010-12-06T17:59:18.989-05:00Martial Arts Design for Street Fighter The Storytelling Game: Core PhilosophyHere are the basic assumptions, principles, and guidelines I'll be following to develop the new martial arts list for <i>Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game</i>. These are in no particular order, and probably aren't complete, but they're an indication of where my thinking lies right now.<br />
<br />
<b>Inspiration, not simulation</b>: Many of these styles are inspired by real martial arts, but I won't be attempting to model real martial arts in any particularly rigorous way. I'm more interested in a fantastic version of a style that captures something unique about it than I am in detailed, real world accuracy. In the real world, glima, an Icelandic belt-wrestling folkstyle, has a number of restrictions on posture and movement. In the street fighter world, that form of glima exists as a highly ritualized version of the contest, but as used in the street fighter circuit it is a style that combines fierce throws with rune-based chi powers, the icy breath of the north wind, viking berserker rage, and techniques for immediately returning to a standing position if knocked prone.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Account for video game interpretations</b>: That said, I'd like to be able to account for all the video game characters, and video game interpretations of the martial arts will heavily influence the style lists. In the street fighter universe, <i>yoga </i>is a martial art, and Dhalsim is its most famous practitioner. My first stop for representing some styles will be the street fighter video games, but other quality fighting games have a lot to contribute. To that end, I'll take inspiration from SNK games like the Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, King of Fighters, and Samurai Showdown series. I'll also leave room for inspiration from Tekken and Virtua Fighter.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Look for patterns, and interpret them:</b>This applies to the video game as well. There is a rough correspondence in the video game between Japanese martial arts and the use of <i>hadouken</i> style projectile attacks. It isn't a perfect fit, but it is a tendency. Of the kung fu stylists, only Chun Li has a real projectile attack. That's interesting, and I'll be building it into the style designs on some level. I'll also be looking for similar kinds of patters wherever I can find them. <br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Styles do not need to be balanced</b>: Game balance won't be a primary issue when designing the styles. Players choose a martial art for their character based on a number of factors, only one of which is the effectiveness of its actual combat maneuvers. The aesthetics of the style are also an important influence. I won't be particularly worried about making sure that all styles have an equal number of maneuvers, for example. I will be trying to ensure that every style has some top-level special maneuvers. This way, if we're using our "multiple styles" rules, there will be some reason to top out in a style to get access to its highest level maneuvers.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Uniqueness, not effects-based design</b>: There's been plenty of talk on blogs and forums about the value of glorious idiosyncrasies when it comes to powers, and I think this approach is the most true to the spirit of the original street fighter rpg. The alternative is a thoroughly effects-based design, which I've pushed the system toward in the past. It's time to pull back from that. An effects-based system can certainly be used to construct a wide variety of unique maneuvers, but they're all built from essentially the same set of core options. Street fighter maneuvers (and by extension, styles) certainly do have shared features, but I will be erring on the side of introducing uniqueness rather than systematicity when it comes to filling in the style lists.Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-18359679194351346622010-12-05T22:14:00.003-05:002010-12-05T23:29:49.642-05:00Every Style is UniqueThis post is a follow up to the <a href="http://streetfighterrpg.blogspot.com/2010/11/street-fighter-martial-arts-styles.html">Street Fighter Martial Arts Styles</a> post from last week. <div><br /></div><div>Last week, I put together a list of canon Street Fighter characters and their martial arts styles. Today, I'm doing the same thing from the opposite perspective. My basic question is something like this: </div><div><br /></div><div>"What martial arts would I like to have available in a Street Fighter RPG campaign?" </div><div><br /></div><div>My answer is <i>a lot of them</i>. The styles represented in the video games would be desirable, but they don't exhaust the list of even fairly well-known martial arts. Even Tae Kwon Do has only really been represented in a Street Fighter game since the release of Super Street Fighter IV. A number of other major styles are lacking as well, and in general the focus of the video game is (understandably) on characters rather than styles, leading to a proliferation of hybrid fighters who have essentially developed their own fighting styles. </div><div><br /></div><div>As an aside, this strikes me as fairly realistic. It seems like every martial artist eventually opens a school, puts his name on a style, and calls it a unique martial art.</div><div><br /></div><div>In any case, I have a draft list of martial arts for development for Street Fighter RPG play. I haven't prioritized these yet, but this is a current starting list. There's some overlap in the list, which is intentional. I have some ideas about overlapping styles that I may implement as part of developing these. </div><div><div><ol><li><b>Acrobat</b>: Chun Li, Pullum, Skullomania</li><li><b>Aikido</b>: </li><li><b>Ansatsuken</b>: Gouken, Gouki, Ryu, Ken, Gen</li><li><b>Bio/Cyber</b>: Necro, Twelve</li><li><b>Boxing</b>: Mike, Mike Bison (Boxer), Dudley, C.

The "Book Off" stores in Shibata, Murakami, and Niigata City were treasure hoards to me at the time, carrying gamest mooks, "All Abouts," other strategy guides, and manga that I could never have even known had <i>existed </i>before coming to Japan. </div><div><br /></div><div>In those primitive, ignorant times before the internet became what it is today, we had few ways to even know these kinds of things were out there. We had to trust in Capcom USA and a pirated, fansubbed copies of the Street Fighter II movie, and yes, God Help Us, even in the story related material in licensed <i>Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game</i> products from White Wolf. And Capcom USA told us that Ryu and Ken studied Shotokan Karate. </div><div><br /></div><div>So first, we had Shotokan. </div><div><br /></div><div>And then, Japanese strategy guides told me something different. These guides and my limited Japanese told me that Ryu and Ken studied 暗殺拳. <i>Ansatsuken</i>. Assassination Fist martial arts. And that was a revelation.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was also wrong. Not because the books didn't say that, in some sense, but because they didn't mean it the way I thought they did. We know better now. See, those same sources also tell us that <i><a href="http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Gen">Gen</a></i>, the dying assassin in search of a death match, is a practitioner of 暗殺拳. <i>Ànshāquán</i>. Asassination Fist. But of course, Gen's fighting style looks nothing like Ryu and Ken's. </div><div><br /></div><div>There's a good reason for that, of course. Because what the strategy guides were saying was this: that these fighters studied martial arts designed for the field of battle, not for sport. "Combatives," to use some contemporary US Army lingo. <i>Ansatsuken </i>isn't a martial art. It's more like another <i>word for martial art</i>, though with a particular connotation. Battlefield hand-to-hand. Unarmed killing techniques. Old style martial arts, with an emphasis on <i>martial</i>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Indeed, Gouken's innovation was to transform Goutetsu's <i>ansatsuken </i>a martial art designed for battle to the death into an art of fighting that doesn't mean killing. In a sense, Gouken does for Goutetsu's unnamed killing techniques what real-life figures like Kano Jigoro and Funakoshi Gichin did for jujutsu and Okinawan te respectively. Transform them into modern sporting systems (judo, shotokan karate). </div><div><br /></div><div>Now, this isn't really news. It's in version 4.9 of <a href="http://fightingstreet.com/folders/variousinfofolder/variousinfopages/streetfighterplotguide.txt">the Street Fighter Canon Plot Guide</a> (and may have been in some of the earlier iterations), and even Udon's recent <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Street-Fighter-World-Warrior-Encyclopedia/dp/1926778014">World Warrior Encyclopedia</a> may be hinting at it. But I thought I'd set it down in a blog post anyway, in the interest of laying the groundwork for developing RPG styles, and as a brief explanation of some of the thought behind <a href="http://streetfighterrpg.blogspot.com/2010/11/street-fighter-martial-arts-styles.html">the tables I posted earlier</a>. </div>Superhero Necromancerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00829551945470884096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-17362418583437743332010-11-30T18:21:00.004-05:002010-12-05T22:17:53.567-05:00Street Fighter Martial Arts Styles<div><div>One of the joys of <i>Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game</i> is selecting your character's martial arts style, but after playing the game for a while, the list of styles offered in the core rules starts to feel a little slim. This is made worse if you're much of a street fighter canon fan by the fact that the RPG gets so much wrong about the characters and their martial arts. A lot more information is more readily available about the game characters now than it used to be, and the game itself has been expanded quite a lot since the early to mid-nineties, when the RPG was published. </div><div><br /></div><div>Over the years of playing the RPG, we've added a lot of martial arts styles to fill these gaps. Now I'm thinking about embarking on a redevelopment of our styles, and I thought I'd share the process on this blog. </div><div><br /></div><div>My first stop will be the street fighter video game series, which will give me a core list of martial arts styles to include. Later I'll fill out the list with major styles that are missing, or just with cool styles I'd like to see available in the game. </div><div><br /></div><div>Below, I've listed all the characters from the street fighter series of games, along with my notes about their martial arts styles. These notes probably don't line up perfectly with any particular list out there, but they're pretty close. There's a certain amount of room for interpretation in the canon, and these are my current thoughts. I've gleaned this list from strategy guides and artbooks (both U.S. and Japanese), manga, <a href="http://fightingstreet.com/folders/variousinfofolder/variousinfopages/streetfighterplotguide.txt">the Street Fighter canon plot guide</a>, and Udon's recent offerings, like the very cool <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Street-Fighter-World-Warrior-Encyclopedia/dp/1926778014/">Street Fighter World Warrior Encyclopedia</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'll talk more about my thinking process on some of these in the comments or in a future post. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Abel</b>: Martial Arts, Judo</div><div><b>Adon</b>: Muay Thai</div><div><b>Alex</b>: Pro Wrestling, Special Forces Training</div><div><b>Balrog (Claw)</b>: Ninjutsu, Bullfighting</div><div><b>Birdie</b>: Street Fighting</div><div><b>Blanka</b>: Self-Taught Amazon Jungle Fighting</div><div><b>C</b>. <b>Viper</b>: Secret Agent Training, Gadgeteer</div><div><b>Cammy</b>: Shadoloo Assassin Training, Delta Red Special Forces Training</div><div><b>Chun Li</b>: Kung Fu (aka 中国拳法), Taiqi, Police Training, Acrobat</div><div><b>Cody</b>: Street Fighting</div><div><b>Dan</b>: Saikyo-ryu, claims to teach Judo, Karate, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do</div><div><b>Dee Jay</b>: Kickboxing, Sonic</div><div><b>Dhalsim</b>: Yoga</div><div><b>Dudley</b>: Boxing</div><div><b>E.

It is much less kind to slow grapplers, like Zangief and Hugo, who are at decided disadvantage if they rely on their grab game in a fight. In the video game, characters like this tend to have decent range on grabs and throws: enough that they can get their hits in. In the RPG, not so much: the requirement to be in-hex to hit with any grab limits their ability to ever hit with a grab against even a basically savvy opponent. The original SF:tSG rules make a slight nod to this in the rules for "Spinning Piledriver," by giving it a Movement of two rather than the usual one that typifies grabs. Its value is very restricted, however, as only this particular maneuver has it as a feature. <div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/12043856208501081795">Goutetsu</a> has been thinking about this issue for a while now, and he's suggested the addition of a special maneuver to make up for this. Here's a draft version. <div><br /></div><div><b>Giant Attack</b></div><div><b>Prerequisites</b>: Athletics 1, Strength 5</div></div><div><b>Power Points</b>: Sambo 3, NA Wrestling 3, Any 5 (<i>In our house game, I would also give this to Professional Wrestling and other house styles, but these styles aren't part of the core rules.</i>) </div><div>Giants walk the earth. From the patriotic world warrior Zangief, to the violent man child Hugo, and even to the Mayor of Metro City and the King of Muay Thai, giant fighters have often found a home, of sorts, in the street fighter circuit. Fighters are wary not to let these giants get too close... because once they grab you, it's already too late. </div><div><b>System</b>: This maneuver may be used to modify any other maneuver that does not already cost Willpower. The card must be played alongside the modified maneuver. A Fierce Punch becomes a "Giant Fierce Punch," a Throw becomes a "Giant Throw," a Suplex a "Giant Suplex," and so on. The speed, damage, and movement of the modified maneuvers stay the same, but the maneuver gains +1 to its reach. This means that a Giant Attack applied to a Punch or Kick can hit an opponent one hex away from the fighter, and a Giant Attack applied to a Grab can catch opponents in an adjacent hex. </div><div><b>Cost</b>: <i>1 Willpower</i></div><div><b>Speed</b>: (+0)</div><div><b>Damage</b>: (+0)</div><div><b>Move</b>: (+0)</div>Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-47998931204142213202008-12-19T21:04:00.011-05:002008-12-21T17:13:04.818-05:00Who's Who of Street Fighter -- 1968We're talking about setting up a historical Street Fighter campaign, set roughly around 1968-1972. This is the era of <span style="font-style: italic;">Johnny Quest</span> (and by extension of the first generation of Team Venture). It also is a good fit for setting a space age tone, and it matches up to the beginnings of the kung fu movie explosion of the seventies.<br /><br />One interesting question is what the "who's who of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Street Fighter</span> canon" would be at this time. I've gone to my strategy guides and the Street Fighter canon plot guide, and using 1968 as a point of reference for the campaign, here's what I've come up with.<br /><br />First, we only have birth dates for the core 15 characters (minus Lord Vega) from the SFII era of games and for wrestlers from Muscle Bomber. In 1968, most of the main Street Fighter characters are young children or haven't been born yet (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Ryu</span>, born in 1964, is 4 years old). But there are a few who are nearing fighting age, especially considering how early fighters seem to get into the game in Street Fighter.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The year is 1968.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Zangief </span>is 12 years old. The man who will eventually come to dominate the fighting circuit, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sagat</span>, is 13 years old. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dhalsim </span>is 16. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mike Haggar</span> is 27. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Oro </span>is already a hermit in Brazil and is currently 108 (born 1860).<br /><br />These ages are definite. What else do we know? Well, the Japanese strategy guides estimate <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gouki</span>'s age in SSFII Turbo as around 48, which would put him at around 21-23 in 1968. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gouken </span>would be roughly the same age.<br /><br />We can extrapolate other ages from there.<br /><br />Here are some canonical characters who would probably be of or near fighting age in 1968.<br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gen </span>(based on his age in SF Zero, he'd be 50-60 years old in 1968)</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Go Hibiki</span> (Dan is roughly the same age as Ryu, which would suggest that Go Hibiki should be old enough to have a young son. Go could easily be about the same age as Gouki and Gouken -- in his early 20s.)</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zeku</span>, Bushin-ryu Master (roughly the same age as Gouki and Gouken?)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Retsu </span>(same as Gouki and Gouken?)</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Li </span>(a little younger --maybe 16, Dhalsim's age)</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kanzuki Juro</span> (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Karin</span>'s father, he'd work well at around 18-20 -- Karin is born 1973)</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rolento </span>(he's late 30s to early 40s in SF Zero, which would put him around 20 in 1968)</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chun Li's father</span> (Chun Li is born in 1968, so her father could be in his early 20s)<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Remy's father</span> (13-18)</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Belgar </span>(end boss in Final Fight -- maybe around 21-23)</li></ul>Dudley's father would be a character of the right age, but he wouldn't be a fighter (he would be a wealthy businessman or aristocrat, from what I understand.)<br /><br />In addition, there's <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lord Vega</span>, who I mentioned before. His age is unknown. If he's around the same age as Chun Li's father, he'd be in his early 20s -- the same generation as Gouki and Gouken.<br /><br />And then there are a few teachers from Rival Schools who might be young fighters in this era.<br /><br />I'm not sure if Goutetsu would be dead yet, or not. Ryu doesn't come to train with Gouken until he's around 8 to 10 years old (again, roughly), which wouldbe around 1972-74. I think Goutetsu is dead before Ryu comes to train with Gouken. So either Goutetsu would be dead when the campaign started... or the clock would be ticking.<br /><br />Some of this info is based on the Japanese strategy guides and Gamest Mooks I have laying around here. Some is based on <a href="http://fightingstreet.com/folders/variousinfofolder/variousinfopages/streetfighterplotguide.txt">The Street Fighter Canon Plot Guide (v4.6)</a>. Much of it is basically guesswork and creative interpretation.<br />Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-33030258520294668102008-12-19T17:50:00.010-05:002008-12-19T19:00:16.633-05:00Character CreationCharacter creation follows the standard point values, with a few additions and clarifications. This is a summary -- refer to <span style="font-style: italic;">Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game</span> for the default rules.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Assign Starting Points</span><br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Attributes</span>: 7/5/3</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Abilities</span>: 9/7/4</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Backgrounds</span>: 5</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Techniques</span>: 8</li><li style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Styles</span>: 5</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Special Maneuvers</span>: 7</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Willpower and Chi</span>: Determined by primary Style (highest level style, or select a primary if more than one style is tied)</li><li style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Freebie Points</span>: 18</li></ul>During this first stage of character creation, Abilities and Techniques cannot exceed a rating of 3 and Attributes cannot exceed a rating of 5.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Freebie Points</span><br />Characters begin with a few more freebie points than in the default rules. However, these points are also spent at a slightly different rate. One problem raised by the default core rules is that freebie point costs and XP costs are different. This creates breakpoints during character creation that can be mostly removed by unifying the costs.<br /><br />The new XP costs will be described in a later post. At this point, it is sufficient to note that the freebie point costs listed below match up to the XP costs.<br /><br />As in the core rules, you can exceed a rating of 3 in Abilities and Techniques using freebie points.<br /><br />When spending freebie points, use the following point costs in place of the costs in the core book (p. 39).<br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Attributes</span>: 6 per dot (12 per dot past 5?)<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Abilities</span>: 1 per dot, 2 per dot past 5<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Backgrounds</span>: 1 per dot<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Techniques</span>: 1 per level of the desired rating, paid for at each increase (e.g., one point for a new technique at 1, two points to raise a 1 to a 2, three points to raise a 2 to a 3, etc.)<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Styles</span>: 2 per dot<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Power Points</span>: 1 per dot<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chi</span>: 3 per dot<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Willpower</span>: 3 per dot<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Health</span>: 4 per dot<br /></li></ul>There are two important notes worth considering at this point. First, Backgrounds can only be bought during character creation. Second, a long-term decision about attribute totals needs to be made during character creation. Points added to attributes during character creation determine the maximum pool of attribute points the character can have in a particular category. The default is 15 (the equivalent of a 5/5/5 attribute outlay). Only if freebie points are spend to increase attributes during character creation can this maximum total be increased: a character who spends 6 freebie points to add 1 physical attribute during character creation can potentially reach a total of 16 attribute points, and so on. <br /><br />This is a draft based on a discussion we had last night. I've made a couple changes after thinking about things a bit: first, we originally considered the "frontloading" of attributes to be sufficiently restrictive that raising them past 5 wouldn't need to cost more. After thinking about it a bit more, I'm not convinced that it's enough, so I've suggested an extra cost to go past 5. (I'm not sure <span style="font-style: italic;">what </span>this cost should be, but I think it's preferable to keep attributes from jumping past 5 immediately, and increasing the cost should help here by making the jump more of a commitment.)Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-51450893286858927482008-12-19T17:18:00.005-05:002008-12-19T17:44:12.934-05:00Street Fighter House Rules: OverviewThis is part one of a series of posts where I'll review the current state of our house rules. We're preparing for a new Street Fighter campaign, and these are the rules changes we'll be making. In this post, I'll give a little bit of context. Then I'll move on to specific cases.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rulebooks</span>:<br /><ul><li><span style="font-style: italic;">Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game </span></li><li><span style="font-style: italic;">Secrets of the Shadoloo</span></li></ul>Only these two books will be core. We'll be using the base combat rules and special maneuvers from this book, as well as the base character creation rules. We'll be changing how XP is awarded and spent and making changes to the martial arts styles and maneuver lists, but unless otherwise noted, these books form the core rules set. None of the other published supplements will be used.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Changes</span>:<br />Briefly, here are some of the changes we'll be making.<br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Glory and Honor</span>: We won't be using these. They don't work in long term play. The numbers simply don't add up when characters enter regular tournaments, especially when the characters face each other in tournament matches. They break down in the case of NPC villains, as well, who can't succeed in tournament play because they have no way of regaining Chi and Willpower. The only positive outcome we've noticed in play is that honor does make the decision of whether or not to hit a dizzied opponent a <span style="font-style: italic;">real </span>decision. This doesn't match up with how the video game works, but it is generally good in the RPG because of the length of the health track.<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Recovering Willpower and Chi</span>: Without Glory and Honor, we'll need another way to regain spent Willpower and Chi. We'll be using a simple method. If you win a fight, you can immediately roll your <span style="font-style: italic;">permanent </span>score in Willpower and in Chi. You regain a number of points equal to your successes. We can then simply add other conditions that allow for a roll to regain points: not striking a dizzied opponent would be one, for example, that would allow you to make this roll in the middle of a fight. Spending a round showing off / posing might be another. In a later post, I'll draft a list of conditions that allow for Will/Chi recovery rolls.<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Multiple Styles</span>: We'll be using the "multiple styles" rules I mentioned in <a href="http://streetfighterrpg.blogspot.com/2008/08/multiple-styles-in-street-fighter.html">my last post</a>.<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Styles and Maneuver Lists</span>: We'll be replacing the style lists from the core book. Some styles will go (Kabaddi and Native American Wrestling, I'm looking at you) and be replaced by other styles (Yoga, for example, replaces Kabaddi). In addition, we'll be taking a "style proliferation" approach. Having a large number of styles with relatively small maneuver lists works well with the multiple styles rules and allows for a lot of great character customization.<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Freebie Point and XP Streamlining</span>: The XP system needs an overhaul. We've used it for years, and if there's one thing that needs simplification and improvements, it's that. I'll outline our current changes soon.<br /></li></ul>That isn't all we'll be house ruling, but it covers the core issues. We'll also be working with the combo rules clarifications and updated maneuver tables (and other rules notes) from our "Street Fighter Revision" project from 2003 (at the time of this writing, these files are still available <a href="http://home.centurytel.net/tribe22/Sfindex.htm">here</a>).Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-29554528373226605072008-08-11T14:28:00.003-04:002008-08-11T14:37:20.747-04:00Multiple Styles in Street Fighter: the Storytelling GameOne thing I've always wanted in Street Fighter is a way to model characters who study multiple styles. This is an idea for how to do that without making major changes to the system. If someone has already done this, I'd be happy to hear about it. And if there are obvious reasons this wouldn't work (or simply issues that would need to be sorted out), I'd love to hear those too -- I'm dashing this post off pretty fast, but I'll try to get back with replies if there are any comments. <br /><br />The basic idea is to simply to a) add Style ratings to the character sheet, so characters could be level 4 Karate, level 3 Kung Fu (for example), and then b) treat the power point costs listed for the maneuvers as prerequisites. The special maneuver "Dragon Punch" has a power point cost of 4 for Shotokan Karate and 5 for Kung Fu and Thai Kickboxing. This would translate to a simple requirement that a character must have achieved the 4th level of mastery in the Shotokan Karate style to get access to dragon punch, whereas a kung fu stylist would need to be 5th level in their style before getting access to the same maneuver.<br /><br />Using this system, characters would need a starting pool of points to place in different styles, with a standard maximum rating of 3 (before freebie points). How many? I'm tempted to simply say 3.<br /><br />The "any" category would simply default to your highest level in any style: if you have a 3 Karate, you'd also have access to any maneuver from the "any" list with a cost of up to 3 power points. This is a fairly simple system for allowing characters to be masters of multiple styles, and it works best if you're taking a "style proliferation" approach to the martial arts in the game. With this system, you could create Ryu as something like Karate 5, Tae Kwon Do 3, Judo 3, and so on.<br /><br />The system isn't perfect: I haven't checked it for breakpoints (why go to level 5 in style X, if there's no maneuver with a cost of 5 in the style?). If you're using standard experience point costs and rules, it also makes the power point costs doubly important -- they limit access to maneuvers which also will cost more when access is gained. If you're not using the regular SF:tSG xp system, this problem can be avoided.<br /><br />The system doesn't only restrict, however: it also opens up options for characterization and for character building (in terms of combat). Previously, there was no way to build a character with certain combinations of special maneuvers: you had access to the maneuvers in your style, those in the any list, and that's it. For story based reasons, it was sometimes desirable for a character to be able to learn a particular maneuver, but the only way to get this access was simply to make an exception to the rules on a case by case basis.<br /><br />That's the basic idea, essentially back-formed from ideas for multiclassing in the d20 street fighter hack I'll also be talking about sometime. As always, I'm open to suggestions.Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-20251282301089063122008-08-04T13:21:00.006-04:002008-08-04T13:40:24.926-04:00Fist of the Assassin -- Aggression (version 1)<span style="font-style:italic;">Fist of the Assassin</span> is a martial arts rpg idea I've been kicking around for too long. It's been one of those "always in development, but never <span style="font-style:italic;">really</span> in development" things, a game I always come back to and mess around with. <br /><br />The blurb goes like this: <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Fist of the Assassin</span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A game about Life, Death, and Kung Fu<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">It has always existed, just beyond the reach of civilization. It can be felt at the crossroads, on a storm-tossed ship at sea, in a windswept desert, and at the heart of an uprising.<br /><br />It is home to heroes, masters, and boxers, to cultists, revolutionaries, and assassins, to villains, demons, and ghosts.<br /><br />It is the martial world.<br /><br />And it is your home.</span><br /><br />A few months ago, I put together a rough draft document (thanks to some kind comments about the game made by <a href="http://thouandone.wordpress.com/">Jonathan Walton</a>), and I got some useful feedback in this thread started by Lukas Myhan at <a href="http://www.story-games.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=6322">Story Games</a>. At the time I got swept up in Game Chef and failed to respond properly to the thread, but I'm still thinking about revisions to account for the problems in the game as it stands right now. <br /><br />The draft folks were working with is <a href="http://richforest.googlepages.com/Fist_of_the_Assassin.pdf">here</a>. <br /><br />The main current problem is pretty simple: the only smart thing to do is to turtle. There are too many defensive options and not enough offensive options. I've considered solutions that are based on reducing the number of options in play and handing them out by martial art style: so at base, the game might use only the numbers on the cards -- only simple, single card attacks and dodges. Suits are ignored. Then your style might give you a few strong attacks by allowing certain suits to be active for you. These strong attacks couldn't be dodged normally: they could only be stopped by playing blocks (cards of matching suits). Different styles would have access to different sets of strong suits and block suits. Combinations and reversals would be similarly restricted: you'd only get access to combinations and reversals for certain suits, ones granted by your style.<br /><br />The advantage of this is to make styles matter in a fairly straightforward way. One disadvantage is that it ramps up the complexity of the core system, increasing how much you need to track to play the game. I'm not sure yet if it's a working solution. <br /><br />Combinations need a buff up too, regardless of what is done with the styles. Right now, my idea for combinations is to make them more effective by stating that they cannot be dodged or blocked. Only a "reversal" (card of both higher rank and matching suit") could stop them, and it would only cancel them out -- not act as a counter-attack as it would against a single card. I think this helps offset the weakness of attacks, but only partially. I'm still working on the implications.Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-80514923065684785472008-08-03T09:55:00.003-04:002008-08-03T10:10:50.088-04:00Sirlin's "Yomi" street fighter card gameDavid Sirlin, top level street fighter tournament competitor and designer of the upcoming <span style="font-style:italic;">Super Street Fighter 2: HD Remix</span>, has recently updated his "yomi" fighting card game. The game itself isn't new, but it's new to me, and definitely worth a link. It looks like a clever take on a street fighter themed card fighting game, and it's something I'll be interested in trying out when I get a chance. <br /><br />The main page for the game is <a href="http://www.sirlin.net/yomi">here</a>. It's password protected, but the password isn't a secret: it's <span style="font-style:italic;">daigo</span>, as mentioned by Sirlin on his own <a href="http://www.sirlin.net/forums/showthread.php?s=189d4ad7fb59ed038baca45254440292&t=586">yomi message boards</a> as well as at <a href="http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?s=8ebcce5ea36b64261a49220366bd7262&t=157883">shoryuken.com</a>. <br /><br />The rules, faq, character card decks, and design discussion are all available at the main site. <br /><br />Here's a related article by Sirlin talking about how he uses the term "yomi" in relation to fighting games: <a href="http://www.sirlin.net/archive/yomi-layer-3-knowing-mind-of-the-opponent">Yomi Layer 3: Knowing the Mind of the Opponent</a>.Ansatsukenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08277135197996701201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090133581257765146.post-79910295301783908382008-08-01T18:01:00.003-04:002008-08-01T18:06:55.263-04:00Roleplaying.
