SF:20 Release! Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game 20th Anniversary Edition
The fan-made 20th Anniversary Edition has just been released by Street Fighter Paradise! This compiles all the published rules/systems and is a must-have for any fan of the game!
SF:20 – 20th Anniversary Edition Review
Friday I got my hands on a pre-release copy of the fan-made 20th Anniversary Edition from Street Fighter Paradise, which I posted about previously and let me just say: It. Is. Awesome.
(Rest assured, I will let you know when it is available publicly)
For those of you who haven’t been following this project it’s basically a nicely formatted, printable, (and ctrl+f searchable) PDF re-release of the game system organized into one volume covering the game system. The volume covers the game setting/rules/mechanics (everything you need to play) but NPCs, Adventures, etc will be available later in the “SF:20 Companion”.
Rather than just leaving the source material disjointed like the official releases, forcing players to look for moves in several different places, all the information is organized logically by chapter. So for example all the special maneuvers from the Core, Players Guide, Secrets of Shadoloo, Contenders, Shades of Gray, and Perfect Warrior, can now simply be found in Chapter Eight: Special Maneuvers. No flipping back and fourth. One stop shopping.
Besides just compiling, formatting and reorganizing, he also deals with the errors and omissions of the original release very gracefully. He carefully explains his decision making process (which usually involves his impressive knowledge of White Wolf mechanics) and allows you to go with his logic, or decide your way is better. That’s a perfect representation of the games “Golden Rule” (there are no rules, do what you want) and I much prefer it over the “THIS IS THE RULING!” version of making calls.
The Book breaks down as follows:
Chapter One: Introduction
Hello, this book is ____, original book overview, chapter overview, the world of street fighter, championship role call, styles summary, geography, summary of shadoloo…
Chapter Two: Playing Street Fighter
What is storytelling, dice, rolls, difficulties, examples…
Chapter Three: Character Creation
Pretty similar to the core character creation section but expanded with the new styles etc…
Chapter Four: Character Traits
All the attributes, abilities, backgrounds (including the new stuff like animal hybrids, and various staff members etc)
Chapter Five: The Expendables
Chi, willpower, renown, rank
Chapter Six: Styles of the Street Fighters
All of the styles.
Chapter Seven: Combat & Supplemental Rules
All of the combat rules, including duelists, weapons, stunts, fighting under water, etc…
Chapter Eight: Special Maneuvers
All of the special maneuvers
Chapter Nine: Storytelling
How to DM this crazy game.
Conclusion
This is my favorite chapter, where the author goes over all his design decisions, error corrections, errata, etc. Also introduces the reader to the SF:STG fandom with links etc.
R.Mika Reveal! (sf5)
For the record, there have been a few other character announcements for SF5 that I have not covered them here because I don’t consider them “newsworthy” (it’s a no-brainer that Ken is in). Getting to see R.Mika again however, is pretty unexpected after such a long time!
It looks like now instead of having a huge wrestling ring appear to jump off of (Alpha3) she simply has a tag team partner that comes in for certain moves. This is a nice way to continue her tradition of dragging corny and unorthodox wrestling elements into a street fight, while also fitting into the game better in my opinion. The wrestling ring was hillarious but it really worked better as a cartoony hand-drawn sprite. In 3d it would be a little weird.
Vega Reveal! (sf5)
Necalli Reveal! (sf5)
Not many details are known yet about the new Brazilian fighter Necalli who was just revealed. Here is the footage:
Edit: More details have shown up!
This guy so far looks to not have any discernable martial art, so pain in the ass for me basically.
This was taken from SRK, who translated it from 4Gamer:
Necalli, the Soul-slaying Darkness
An ancient warrior who consumes the souls of the strong. He sniffs out mortal combat and stands in the way of the mighty. With his overwhelmingly destructive power, he slaughters everything.
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 113 kg
Occupation: Ancient warrior
Likes: The souls of the strong
V-Reversal: Michibiku Yobigoe (“Guiding Call”)
Necalli blows the opponent away with a powerful roar! After striking back, rush in.
Ken Reveal! (sf5)
