I think the confusion is trying to discern between 'coolness' (ie,
how others perceive you), vs. professional cool (ie, not freaking out
when the lead starts flying).

I can understand a stat for the 2nd type... it's like a fear check of
sorts in, say, D&D. :)

Boo. She's a Muay Thai kickboxer. Lightning Leg, Fireballs... the
only unaccounted-for move is the Leap-on-you-and-Kick-You-Lots move.
But, thats only a single maneuver and certainly not enough to
generate an entire style -- you can certainly convert the maneuver to
an Athletics move:


Leap-on-you-and-Kick-You-Lots
Athletics maneuver
Prerequisites: Atheletics 4, Kick 3, Flying Heel Stomp
Description: <Play as Duck, do an uppercut with Kick.>
System: Knockdown; Avoids projectiles as Jump; straight-line movement
only; Aerial; attacker can attack and then finish moving; Non-
blocking opponents suffer 3 damage tests
Cost: 1 Willpower

by the way, the stupid AI for cap vs snk 2 lets you just breeze
through the whole game on any difficulty by rolling at them and doing
zangiefs 360+K move (move depends on how close you are)

then as theyre falling away walk at em, right before they get up roll
again and grab em as they stand.

over and over.

sad.

btw, yes King is Muay Thai. thats what ive always heard.
Ive heard rumor the new girl in vf4 is too(Vanessa Lewis), can anyone
confirm?
Everywhere i see it officially it says her stle is "unconfirmed" or
some such.

Group: streetfighter Message: 12672 From: nat_drest Date: 3/1/2002
Subject: Re: I love the Dreamcast
Is King officially muay thai? I checked various story/bio websites,
and it seemed unclear whether she was muay thai or savate. Her stance
does look rather muay thaiish, though.

Anyway, I think there are more differences than was stated... mirage
kick isn't really the same as lightning leg (sure, it hits several
times, but it also begins by sliding forward, and ends with a big
roundhouse), and King herself clearly has repeating fireball... eh, I
guess SF:STG's muay thai is close enough, but I like King so much that
the differences bother me. ;P

Incidentally, the "leap up and kick you lots" move is called surprise
rose, and it's not much like the description you gave. She does all
the kicks whether or not the victim blocks, and she bounces off a
short distance away afterwards. Also, you missed the important bit,
that it hits an extra time in midair if you use it on someone as they
come down at you. I'd suggest something like this:

Surprise Rose
requires: Kick 4, Flying Heel Stomp
Spd +0, Dmg +2, Mv +0
cost: 1 willpower
Aerial. Attacker bounces 2 hexes away after dealing damage. If used
to interrupt an aerial maneuver, make two damage tests.

I don't think King has flying heel stomp, actually, but it wouldn't be
fair to FHS to give a move like this to people who haven't bought FHS.
And yeah, I know she kicks several times in the animation, but I
don't think the damage is high enough to justify multiple tests.

Ok, let me shut myself up here. I forgot repeating fireball is
available to any... (Somehow I got its availabilities confused with
those of improved fireball, which isn't allowed for muay thai.)

You could note her fighting stance? Is a classical Muay Thai stance? I´m not
an expert but all fighting movies the stance is very similar to King
fighting stance or better saying fighting position. About Flying Heel Stomp,
I always make confusion with the manuver one is using Kick Technique and the
other is using Athletics, I think she have the manuver with kick. But we can
just talk, god a good biograph is missing for her and for most part of snk
people, it´s a shame...

Close enough to Muay Thai to make it her style. But then again, I
threw out Majestic Crow as a distinct style, too (its "just" Kung
Fu). Of course, I'm pretty lenient with letting players design
maneuvers as well, so, for example, you'd have to go to a Praying
Mantis sifu to have him teach you the Mantis Hook, though any Kung
Fu practitioner could learn it.

I like working it this because from what I understand of Kung Fu,
the forms and stances developed into the flowery-type styles because
masters wanted to hide their secrets from those who would watch them
practice... which seems to imply that if you knew a little Kung Fu,
you could probably learn a maneuver or two from the right people.

If I get the right bug up my butt, I'd rewrite 'Kung Fu' and 'Tai
Chi Ch'uan' into "Kung Fu (External)" comprising all the external
Chinese styles and "Kung Fu (internal)" comprising all the internal
styles (Pa Qua, Taiji, etc.). I certainly think that Taiji should
be more useful outside of Focus powers, but then there's game
balance issues.


> Anyway, I think there are more differences than was stated...

Ah, still a Lightning Leg. I figure Terry Bogard's 'flaming lunge
punch' (ABSOLUTELY no familiarity with the SNK move designations) is
a Dashing Punch, flames aside. (I figure the flames are just a cool
special effect... no use making a new maneuver up for such a similar
move, especially coming from a 'generic-style' brawler like Terry).

Its all that early gaming exposure to Champions. Makes me reduce
everything to its basics.

Yeah, just played the game a bit. Its could be considered a weak
version of Adon's Jaguar Knee followed by multiple Flying Heel
Stomps.

Personally, I'd classify it as an 'Athletics' maneuver.


> And yeah, I know she kicks several times in the animation, but I
> don't think the damage is high enough to justify multiple tests.

I'd disagree on this one. A Whirlwind Kick (or DeeJay's Hyperfist)
don't really do a lot of damage each hit, but they do count as
multiple hit maneuvers. Though I'm loathe to do it (its just
not "clean"), 1 damage test at +1 (only when interrupting an Aerial
maneuver) and 3 tests at -2 (always).

The part I really don't like about this is that the initial move is
SO similar to a Jaguar Knee that I have to purposefully ignore it,
otherwise I end up with...

Surprise Rose
Athletics Maneuver
Prerequisites: Jaguar Knee, Flying Heel Stomp, Athletics 4
System: 2 tests at -1 when Interrupting an Aerial opponent
3 tests at -2 against all.
Knockdown.
Cost: 2 Willpower
Speed: +0
Damage: Special (see above)
Move: +1

...which is too 'flashy' for me (it encourages players to come up
with ridiculous moves with 'Flaming Dragon Punch' and 'Knife Hand
Strike' as prerequisites). I generally like to keep the moves
similarly powered, with the high-damage maneuvers really sticking
out, like Dragon Kick, Improved Fireball, Spinning Pile Driver, etc.

I was looking around a while back and came across a page chok-a-blok
full of SNK and King of Fighters conversions for the Street Fighter
RPG. I can't remember the damn address though.

All I can distinctly remember about the page is that it had little
animated GIFs of the various fighters on their respective HTML
character sheets.

Anyone know the site? I went looking around today to try and find
it and came up with nothing.

If you mean her super (Desperation Move), the name is "Illusion Flash."

I've converted every KOF character up to 98 for the SF STG game I run,
including most of the maneuvers where I didn't feel ones already in the book
would suffice - but I just use combos to recreate Desperation Moves. This
one being: Jumping Short Kick to Mirage Kick to Tornado Kick.

Those are from the very first game, just-plain Street Fighter. (At

SF:STG is based on Street Fighter 2, like pretty much all subsidiary

Re: King's desperation move:
No, we're talking about her special called "surprise rose". It's a
fairly recent addition to her repertoire; she may not have had it
back in KoF '98.



Re: Terry's "burning knuckle":
Yeah, it is very much like dashing punch, but... if I really wanted
to use it in a game for some odd reason, I'd probably make it an
improved version of dashing punch, like flaming dragon punch is to
dragon punch. Dunno what stats... just dashing punch with an
additional chi cost and a second damage test plus knockdown, or
something. And as a special effect, have the user move through the
victim's hex to the hex on the other side. (IIRC, in the videogame
Terry charges straight "through" the opponent as she falls.)

Basically I just want to reflect that burning knuckle is a really
powerful maneuver, not just a run-and-punch. ^_^

    Those are from the very first game, just-plain Street Fighter. (At
    least, Eagle is. Don't recall the names of most of the characters.)
    SF:STG is based on Street Fighter 2, like pretty much all subsidiary
    SF material.

    Re: King's desperation move:
    No, we're talking about her special called "surprise rose". It's a
    fairly recent addition to her repertoire; she may not have had it
    back in KoF '98.



    Re: Terry's "burning knuckle":
    Yeah, it is very much like dashing punch, but... if I really wanted
    to use it in a game for some odd reason, I'd probably make it an
    improved version of dashing punch, like flaming dragon punch is to
    dragon punch. Dunno what stats... just dashing punch with an
    additional chi cost and a second damage test plus knockdown, or
    something. And as a special effect, have the user move through the
    victim's hex to the hex on the other side. (IIRC, in the videogame
    Terry charges straight "through" the opponent as she falls.)

    Basically I just want to reflect that burning knuckle is a really
    powerful maneuver, not just a run-and-punch. ^_^

    doesnt she have any kick moves?
    also, boxing and muay thai overlap a great deal, so her having boxing
    moves i dont think rules out muay thai.

    Ok, I doubt anyone but me cares about her, but I just wanna say that
    I've been looking her over, and I'm pretty sure her style is savate.
    Her stance does look very muay thai, but none of her moves bear that
    out.

    1) She's heavily kick-based. AFAIK, muay thai is primarily a
    punching style. Savate was initially created as a kicks-only style,
    and later had boxing mixed in to round it out for combat.

    2) As far as I can tell, she never kicks with the shin, which is a
    muay thai trademark.

    3) Several of her kicks appear to hit with the toe, which I believe
    is more or less unique to savate. (Most styles emphasize using the
    sole or the back of the foot, to avoid breaking off your toes if
    you're not wearing hard shoes.)

    I am, of course, talking about RL muay thai. This has little to do
    with SF:STG, I'm afraid. Mainly just my fangirl obsessiveness.

      This is the Bio that was snagged for King from:  http://www.tekken.nu/fightermania/   Maybe he's not as official as stright from SNK, but he does seem to have done his reasearch for everyone.     Hope this helps your discussion a little.
       
      DoB: 1957/1971 Height: 175 cm Weight: 58 kg
      Gender: female Land: England
        A waitress at the french restaurant l'Amour. She pretended to be a boy, and hid her body in formal clothes. During a fight with Robert, her shirt ripped and her secret was destroyed. This all happened in the first Art of Fighting game.
      In KoF however, she joins the female Team English with Yuri and Mai. She has short blond hair, and in KoF there's no doubt she's a girl. Later she opened a new club together with Duck King. I thought this was l'Amour, but apparently not. She's the only Team English member who isn't officially in love, however; several fan fics put her and Ryo together...
      Up until KoF'2000 she was the leader of the female team, but joined Team Kyokugen then.

      Nah, she's Muai Thai.
      Lots of kicks in MT use the ball of the foot, and I remember seeing something on her profile from a website saying her style was MT, and she got a lot of crap for being a woman studying MT.
      Tho, when I was in Thailand, I did meet a MT woman (foriegn at that...) who was training and fighting there.
      So just in KoF you got: King, Joe, Benni, uhm... can't think of anyone else...
      But I admit that her style does look satave-ish...

      that also explains why in one of the KOF games she's blown outta her

      Yep. I just wish I knew why that happens to Yuri as well.

      And yeah, I've read that bio, but I also read somewhere that SNK once
      did a KoF manga in which Joe explained to Terry that King was using
      savate... I can't remember where I heard this; I'll try to find the
      source again if I can.

      Besides, doncha think that if she were using muay thai, she'd fight at
      least a little bit like the other muay thai characters?

      Subject: Re: La King? maybe....
      I've read that too, but my understanding is there's another SNK
      source - I think it was some sort of manga? - in which Joe explained
      to, I think, Terry that King, being French, uses savate.

      Anyway, even if they say muay thai, I'm going to keep saying savate,
      because of both the evidence I wrote before, and 'cuz she fights
      nothing at all like Joe. :P

      welcome to fantasy island.

      kicking a game off.. i find its best to start small. dont have them
      take on mriganka yet, just a local streetgang or something. clean up
      the neighborhood. then branch outward into the world as they rise in
      power.

      good (or bad) 'clean up the neighborhood' plots can be swiped from
      bruce lee or jackie chan movies:) I especially like Rumble in the
      Bronx.

      btw, on the vanessa thing:

      I went to the Official site @ http://www.sega-
      am2.co.jp/vf4/fighters2.html#vanessa and ran it through altavista's
      translator. the ONE word that is her fighting style does not
      translate (what luck huh?)

      So I asked my friend Masayuki to go there ( i work @ a japanese
      company) and read it for me. He said it didnt translate because it
      was a portuguese word for no holds barred fighting.
      (altavista was set to japanese-to-english. it wont work in
      portuguese-to-english either because its a portuguese word written in
      japanese)

      well we all know the portuguese word for NHB fighting is Vale Tudo.
      like theyve been doing in Brazil for the past forever or so.

      so looks like me and tony are both wrong. shes not muay thai OR
      boxing. she's Vale Tudo.

      This plays as a jump onto Opponents head. And start Kicking.

      Hello there!

      Well, I will left my lurker-state to answer this
      one: as I am a Brazillian guy, I think I can talk a
      little bit about this Vale Tudo.
      What we call "Vale Tudo" is something like you can
      see at UFC or Pride. A mix of a stryker art (like Muay
      Thai, Boxing or Karate) and a solo-style (like Jiu
      Jitsu or Judo). Ah, and there is no "official" Vale
      Tudo Style, anyway. We just call it like this because
      we do not have a better name. ^_^
      Thinking like this, you can say that she have a main
      style (I suggest, just for the records, Western
      Kickboxing) and a secondary style, probably Jiu-Jitsu.

      Well, that's my suggestion.

      []'s

      yeah that is my impression of Vale Tudo too. Just 'no holds barred'
      and not really a style.

      kinda like JKD, each persons 'no holds barred' will look completely
      different.

      while its not really a 'style' it looks better on a resume
      than 'brawling' or 'mixed' and is often listed as a style just cuz
      its easier to say you do 'Vale Tudo' or 'NHB' than to list all the
      things in your mix.

      so do you do jiu jitsu, brazilian guy?
      i love watching the Gracies fight..

      I started judo and brazilian jiu jitsu after seeing Royce in UFC 1-4

      My point. I don't know Jeet Kune Do, even the SF
      version, but the part of being very different from
      praticinoner to praticioner is right.

      Look like a pretty good description. ^_^

      Me? No, not me. I do Kendo. Once did Goju Ryu Karate
      (I adapted this one to my SF list here in Brazil. I
      don't know if someone translated it, but I can if
      someone wants it) and nothing more. Bu t I do like to
      see Rickson Gracie fighting.

      heres a good king link:
      http://kingkof.tripod.com/biography.htm

      this guy looks like he has done his homework on king more than any of
      us.

      he says in her story/past that she began hiding her gender when she
      went to thailand to learn thai kickboxing.

      he also says that in every profile he's seen of her it lists thai
      kickboxing as her style.

      he goes on to say that the manga says she is savate, and he sees a
      lot of similarities.

      he compares her style to savate in great depth.
      --------------------------------------
      so i guess the KOF games and Manga disagree on her style.

      It's just another case of a company saying 2 different things, like
      when we argue SF storylines and half of us are going by the games,
      the other half going by the anime series.

      heh.
