Subject: Re: Offical Rules Discussion
You can interrupt someone at any point during their action. They can also
abort at any time during *their* action up until the point they've finished
or rolled damage.

If my move rating is ten, and someone interrupts me after I've moved nine
hexes, I can still abort to a Jump and move, say, another five. I
technically haven't finished my move so this is allowed.

Sigh, and so it begins...
No way! Once you have COMPLETED the FULL movement of Move then you are
through with the Maneuver... you chose NOT to abort it, because the Maneuver
has completed doing everything it could possibly do. You can't Abort
something DURING if it's DONE. This is exactly why the character with the
highest Speed is allowed to wait to interrupt. So you can choose a Maneuver
like Move and then wait to see if that was a good idea, if not, aborting to
a defense that suits you.

Subject: Re: Offical Rules Discussion
ack. I just scanned over what I originally wrote. I didn't mean to say
"full alotted movement", I meant to say "close to full alotted movement". I
just meant you could move a fairly obscene distance with a combo of
Move/Abort to Jump.

These nitpicking discussions with Jade are frying my brain...

Group: streetfighter Message: 5566 From: Azathoth05@aol.com Date: 2/10/2000
Subject: Re: Offical Rules Discussion
Again, common sense must prevail. A vertical rolling attack, even if it's
not used to hit anyone, still gives the user (per it's description) a higher
jump than normal (4 ft) and thus even if used (per the description) to jump
over a fence or chasm would incur the willpower cost. Also, while it's true
a regular move grants +3, a regular jump does not. Aerial attacks that move
further than atheltics should definitely incur the cost regardless of whether
damage was rolled or not, because you are doing something you cannot do with
a normal jump maneuver.

<< Obviously, people are now talking about the "fact" that Maneuvers with
bonuses to Move should warrant Willpower expenditure. Why? Every Street
Fighter in the world has a Maneuver called "Move" which gives them a PLUS
THREE bonus to their move, and it does NOT require Willpower expenditure. >>
Group: streetfighter Message: 5567 From: Azathoth05@aol.com Date: 2/10/2000
Subject: Re: Combos of combos
I agree, as long as the maneuver was played in the last turn the combo takes
effect (barring our homemade knockdown-kills-combo rule). So the first
example is fine. Hell, even if you abort to a block the next turn still
grants you the speed bonus.
Group: streetfighter Message: 5568 From: Azathoth05@aol.com Date: 2/10/2000
Subject: Re: Combos of combos
that's a real good point! because only one of the combo's is dizzy, I'd say
the middle fierce in the first maneuver only gets one bonus: +2 speed as
part of previous combo or add damage to dizzy, but possibly not
both(storyteller call ultimately) If both were dizzy combos it wouldn't be
an issue

Subject: Re: Offical Rules Discussion
I always played you can't abort to a jump if you've moved, and it's always
worked fine. Never had a player complain.

Hmmm good luck, the Street Fighter game is no longer in print. You MIGHT
find one out there on the net for sale, but I wouldn't want to begin the

Group: streetfighter Message: 5571 From: J. Scott Pittman Date: 2/11/2000
Subject: Re: Dark Streets, Chapter 3, turn 2
Chapter 3, Turn 2 (recap of responses)
Remember, when your exp % reaches 100, you gain a point of exp for
role-playing)

Sago:
One of the joys of being a sawed-off runt is that size doesn't impress
you. When everything and everyone is bigger than you, it all becomes a
matter of degree. I push myself upright and do a jumping roundhouse at
Mr. Metal. (role-playing bonus: 25%, nice use of thoughts instead of words)
Sammi:
Sammi froze for a moment when the two robots appeared.
Fighting humans was one thing, and she could deal with
Ryuu's 'unique' appearance since she loved cats. But
fighting a pair of metal monstrosities like
those...she silently wished that Sago's joke about
"Magical Wrestler Pretty Sammi" was real, so she'd
have some means of fighting back. Cursing under her
breath, she grabbed Ryuu and dove behind a nearby
table, scrambling for cover. (Role-playing bonus: 35%, liked the fact that
she is protective of Ryuu, consistant with previous turns)
Ryuu
Ryuu cocked his head to the side as he stared up at the towering robots.
They looked silly, not like the Aesti Valis in Nadesico. He was about to
go closer to get a better look when an arm wrapped around his waist. He
let out a startled yelp as he was pulled off his feet and the room spun for
a moment.
Tucking himself into into a ball, Ryuu rolled with the impact when he
landed. Looking around, he saw that he was behind some cover and Sammi was
nearby. Crawling over he whispered "Sammi-san? What do we do now?"
(role-playing bonus 35%, good job acting as a kid)
Jean Paul:
*this sign means what Jean Paul is talking the other words are only actions
or
thoughts.
First step: get dressed and recover equipament.
Second step: Begin conversation.
*Jean Paul: Well, it´s a weird thought but it that kids stucked in glass
containers remember me that M.Shelley book Frankstein...
*Jean Paul: Good lord, this room is amazing look all these strange things
but,
why I can´t remeber nothing
*Jean Paul: Your name is Donavan right, I see you´re busy at this moment but
why that conteirners do? It´s a new medical treatment to help that
childrens? I
remember in my city that dammit and bad people making kids working in the
factories for hours without care and minimal condictions.
Looking and heard the noise of doctor radio he appears surprise and litle
scared *Jean Paul: What is that litle box? And for the great maker that
thing
can speak? This place is more than I can imagine, say me doctor what happen
why
the things change so much?
Jean Paul walking around room trying to see the size of it and what he can
see
and must important understand, other topic Jean Paul try to heard the
conversation of Doctor and discover the subject.
Jean Paul pick a cigar and use a matche from matches box and start to smoke
it,
now he´s looking for the all things with words and try to read it, maybe he
understand a lilte better, put the hat and take the cane and hold it with
left
hand and put the bible at his overcoat pocket.
I wait for doctor response or better the talking box info (If I heard it
better). :) Good start for me.
(role-playing bonus 40%, can't ask for much more than that list of thoughts
and ideas)
Eric:
Jumping Roundhouse at one, wall spring off of it, and same on the second
(role-playing bonus 0%, good action, but what's Eric thinking or saying? How
is he pulling off that jumping roundhouse? Does he look like he's mad or
concentrating or having a good time?)
Sabrina:
This matchstick won't do anything against those machines, Sabrina thought as
she slid the baton into her belt. Fortunaty Sabrina had something for
emergencies. She coldly drew her gun.
(Liked the descriptive wording. Role playing bonus 25%)

Chapter 3, Turn 2

Sago's winced in pain, but he didn't think the blast had hit him directly.
He was easily able to pull himself up. The machine-guards didn't have thier
weapons pointed in his direction. Leaping up, he sprang into action, taking
a few steps and leaping into the air. The world around him seemed to become
a cascade of colors as he positioned his body into a kicking form, smashing
his foot down onto the closest robot's chest.
(ago rolls for damage on his Roundhouse Kick: 11 dice, minus the robot's
Stamina. Roll is three for damage)
Sago's well-placed kick made a CLANG sound, and he landed squarely on the
floor. The robot staggered back, but didn't seem that much worse for the
wear. Sago swallowed. "Uh oh."
A similar sound came from the other robot's area, and Eric could be seen
doing a similar maneuver to the second foe, with similar results. (Eric
rolls damage - Stamina, result of 2 damage for his Jumping Roundhouse Kick)
Sammi grabbed Ryuu as he was in mid-roll and landed behind the nearest
table, hoping to keep the kid from danger. "Kid, are you OK? These things
are mean, stay down!" Sammi peered over the edge just in time to see Sago
and Eric striking the robots with little effect. She had better think of
something, and think of it quick if they were to survive.
The large androids raised thier arms, both in the same fashion and at the
same speed. From their palms, a bright red ray flashed. (damage roll-Stamina
for Sago, roll 0 damage and a botch, damage roll-Stamina for Eric, roll 3
damage, but see below).
The hand and it's continuous ray followed Sago as he moved to dodge. Eric,
however was in the sights of the metal man he faced. The arm reached foward,
the electronic eye of the guardian placing perfectly on Eric's forehead.
Leaping past Eric, the first red ray from Sago's attacker suddenly ripped
into the arm of the second robot, cutting it cleanly off of it's body.
Sago's foe stopped his attack as the arm of his "partner" fell to the
ground.
(Eric does not take damage as the Sago's attacker's botch stops it's
attack)
Not bad, Sammi thought, but the second robot, now missing it's arm, didn't
seem to be stopping it's attck, but moving to grab Eric now. But what could
she do?
Ryuu watched in amazement. His ears twitched as he heard something coming
down the hall. Another robot? he wondered. He stayed close to Sammi,
wondering what she would do next. Should he try to fight too? He wondered
what is parents would say, and what his grandfather would say. His parents
would no doubt be furious, but his grandfather always seemed to be more
willing to let Ryuu get into trouble, as if he knew something about Ryuu
that he didn't...

"... and my name is Jean Paul?"
"Yes, as i said. Really, I know you have lots of questions, but something
is going on here and I need to take care of it now." Donovan said rather
quickly, as he began to move away from the room and down the hallway to the
other, noisy area.
"But sir, I really hate to think that I bother you with all of these
strange questions, and I must admit I feel rather foolish asking some of
them, but i don't seem to be able to remember many things, and this
Frankenstein-looking laboratory is the last place I would imagine being -
not that your work is in any way similar to that, of course, I would never
insult a man of science - but nonethless, these children, are they going
through some kind of medical treat -"
Jean Paul's doctor did not seem to be interested in staying in the room,
much less hearing his questions, at least not right now. he seemed
interested in Jean Paul, even facinated by him, but at the same time he was
also rather preoccupied.
Jean paul gathered his things and went with Donovan to the hallway.
Donovan Raised his tiny box to his mouth. "The intruders are attacking! Kill
them!" he then reached over to a nearby computer on the wall, punched in
some kind of code, and began to board a tiny boat as a door opened up to the
river-side of the building. "Come with me, jean Paul, and I'll answer your
questions."

Sabrina Took her gun and aimed carefully at the robot that still had both
it's arms. At the moment, the team seemed to be doing fair against thier
opponents, but one wrong move and she would fire. But if she could wait, and
not reveal her presence, that would be very god, at least until she knew
more about what was going on here.
Suddenly, down the hall, she saw Donovan Shark slip out and onto a boat,
but he was now out of view, but obviously still talking to a man just
outside the doorway. He was getting away, but if Sabrina was to go after
him, she would give herself away...

(role-playing bonus 40%, can't ask for much more than that list of thoughts
and ideas)

Well it appears good to me this start about points how much I have at this
moment?
I count 2 exp point at this moment is right? I write it with character. But well
it´s time for some action.

"... and my name is Jean Paul?"
"Yes, as i said. Really, I know you have lots of questions, but something
is going on here and I need to take care of it now." Donovan said rather
quickly, as he began to move away from the room and down the hallway to the
other, noisy area.
"But sir, I really hate to think that I bother you with all of these
strange questions, and I must admit I feel rather foolish asking some of
them, but i don't seem to be able to remember many things, and this
Frankenstein-looking laboratory is the last place I would imagine being -
not that your work is in any way similar to that, of course, I would never
insult a man of science - but nonethless, these children, are they going
through some kind of medical treat -"
Jean Paul's doctor did not seem to be interested in staying in the room,
much less hearing his questions, at least not right now. he seemed
interested in Jean Paul, even facinated by him, but at the same time he was
also rather preoccupied.
Jean paul gathered his things and went with Donovan to the hallway.
Donovan Raised his tiny box to his mouth. "The intruders are attacking! Kill
them!" he then reached over to a nearby computer on the wall, punched in
some kind of code, and began to board a tiny boat as a door opened up to the
river-side of the building. "Come with me, jean Paul, and I'll answer your
questions."

*Means Jean Paul speak
#Means Jean Paul thoughts
@Means Jean Paul actions.

@First recover all equipament and put them at his pockets. With this he stand up
and stay near the door.
*Jean Paul: Well at last we move out here, this good if I´m stay much time at
this container the better thing to do is a walk to keep my strenght and breath.
#Thinking to himself: Well I can´t do nothing stuck here, It´s better move now
and see what I can learn of this place and where I am, but I´m belive it isn´t
London 1880. He talk with polite manners but at that strange telephone he
changed, kill all of them... Much suspect, he don´t have fear from law? Kill
someone, could give to him a piece of cord around his neck, but it doesn´t
matter to me I just let the show continue and discover why he wants these
persons dead. I can´t say much about this guy and that strange tanks but I
belive they can´t hurt after all I known this for experience.
*Jean Paul: Just show the way doctor, but I´m sorry to ask and hear your
conversation I don´t want to but now is late, you say about intruders here, who
are them?
what they want here? This a medical lab why they want stole something from here?

@Walking... outside lab.
#Jesus, Mary and Joseph how bigger this place is? Let this emotion pass... Well
returning to actual subject doctor Donavan could be interesting person, his
temper change from curious to wrath in seconds but he wants someone dead let´s
discover something else this subject could be a offense to doctor.
*Jean Paul: Doctor Donavan you take me out of that tank for something, I don´t
known why but I have a debt with you by the way you need a help?
#Oh my! Dear god what non sense question, of course not he have a advance
technology and a full army of security (well I can see this because he talk for
different persons using his strange telephone because to expression Kill them,
if the intruders are in good number the security must be in good number too.)
@We are moving... around hallway and wait one more of that strange box with a
strange typewriter attached in it, hey he using it this important (see the code-
and commands) and write it in his notebook (later and when he´s not looking).
#Good a river travel, we are out of lab the outside is strange different of my
normal reality but at last don´t smell bad (In victorian age cities have a bad
smell because with farm people left their house and go to city and make the city
grow but without infrostructure the saneament system left much to desire), if he
have important things in his lab why he left so early it appears a escape and
not a tour travel.
*Jean Paul: I known we going to left this place but your research of something
important isn´t there and about these kids if that intruders are dangerous they
could hurt them, why we don´t call the police? Well doctor I trust you, a man of
science but I beggin to understand somethings and a quick response could me make
better... When and where we are?
#His response... I suspect it´s isn´t my time his technology is much advanced
too much any of book writers make a description of his scenarios using things
like that...Well M.Shelley did but is much weak in Frankenstein Lab and frankly
isn´t very weak description.
End of my thoughts, actions and speak I wait for next turn and see what Jean
Paul discover from doctor, see ya...

Sago grins a savage smile. Apparently he damaged
the targeting system, at least temporarily, with
that last kick. We will win this yet! The grin
slips as the burn on his back flairs up. That
laser cut through the metal arm like a sword
through silk. He's lucky to still be in one
piece. Got to end this fast, before serendipity
swings the other way. Sago pauses for a moment
to gather his resources and then unleashes the
lightning leg upon the same robot he attacked
before.

This is VERY consistent with the other ideas/rulings that have been discussed here, and I wouldn't be the one to break your no-complaints streak...

However, if I played a Jab with a move of 2, but only moved 1 hex, and I was then interrupted by a Suplex, shouldn't I be able to Abort to a Jump and move 1 more hex? Failing that, could Grappling Defense become an Abort Maneuver? There has to be SOME way to deal with fast Grabbers... otherwise everyone will start learning Block-Suplex Combos!

OOC: This is gonna seem like a long shot, but...

IC: Sammi's eyes narrowed as she noticed some of the
loose wiring behind the 'bots, then an evil smile
crossed her face as she remembered something her dad
showed her. Quickly looking around for a pair of
rubber gloves, she whispered to Ryuu, "Stay put until
the coast is clear."

Sammi then grabbed the gloves and put them on, trying
to slip around behind the 'bots, which were otherwise
occupied. Grabbing a pair of wires, she jammed them
into the open arm socket of the one making a grab for Eric.

Check out this example:

1st Combo: Jab to Fierce (dizzy)
2nd Combo: Fierce to Fireball (dizzy)

I guess the only real arguable point here is whether you get the +2 speed bonus from the Fierce Punch in Combo 1 to the Fireball in Combo 2, but I think the rules for Combos spell out quite clearly that you do. The above Combos are what I refer to as Linked Combos.

But as for the Dizzy: You DEFINITELY add the damage of the Jab to that of the Fierce to determine if a Dizzy has been scored, AND you add the damage of the Fierce to that of the Fireball... BUT, you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT add the damage of the Jab to that of the Fireball, because they're not part of the same Dizzy Combo.

Say the Jab scores 1 point, and the Fierce scores 3 for a total of 4. If your opponent has a Stamina of 3 or less, he's Dizzy. Let's say his Stamina is 4, though, so he's still with it. Then say you score only 1 point with the Fireball. He's STILL not Dizzy, because the Jab is no longer a factor. Of course, if you had a Jab-Fierce-Fireball(Dizzy) Combo, you could add up all 3, but with Linked Combos, the damage of the VERY FIRST Maneuver does NOT carry over.

Subject: Re: Combos of combos
Whether or not a GM chooses to allow it or not, however, is a different
story. I do not believe for a second that a player should be allowed to get
+2 speed for the entire combat if he chooses to only throw Jabs and has a
Jab to Jab combo. It's too much of a bonus for four experience points and I
believe it goes against the spirit of what the dev team was trying to
accomplish with the combo system.

I'm not sure which example you were referring to, Steve, but in THIS example (above) he's not claiming any Combo benefits from the Fierce Punch to the other Fierce Punch. He's just saying that he thinks you need to play the second F.P. to get the speed bonus with the Fireball. I disagree, and here's my song and dance:

A Combo is a "link" between two (or more) Maneuvers. This "link" gives the second Maneuver a +2 speed bonus when it is played on any turn FOLLOWING any turn during which the 1st Maneuver was played. So you could play the Jab, then play the Fierce at +2 speed (because they're in a Combo together), THEN play a Fireball at +2 speed (because the Fierce and Fireball are in a Combo together) You can add the damage of the Fierce Punch (BUT NOT THE JAB!) to the damage of the Fireball for purposes of Dizzying your opponent. For 3-Maneuver (or more) Dizzies, you MUST purchase a 3-Maneuver Dizzy Combo for 3 Power Points.

Look at Dee Jay for example: He has a Jumping Fierce to Strong to Double Dread Kick (Dizzy) Combo, and a Fierce to Strong to Sonic Boom (Dizzy) Combo. This costs a total of *6* Power Points. Because both Combos are 3 Maneuvers long, he can score Dizzies rather easily with either Combo, but he can't "link" the Combos together...

But if he had a greater number of smaller Combos, he could do all kinds of crazy shiznit! Ex: Fierce to Strong (Dizzy), Jumping Fierce to Strong (Dizzy), Strong to Double Dread Kick (Dizzy), Strong to Sonic Boom (Dizzy). This costs a total of *8* Power Points.

PROS: He can go into the Strong Punch at +2 speed after playing EITHER Fierce OR Jumping Fierce, and after the Strong Punch he can play EITHER a Double Dread Kick OR a Sonic Boom at +2 speed. This means he can keep his opponents guessing as to what Maneuver is coming next, and he has greater flexibility without slowing down.

CONS: He can't add the damage of all three moves (whichever three he uses) for purposes of Dizzying his opponent. Only 2 Maneuvers that are part of a given Dizzy Combo can be summed up for a Dizzy. Also, he's spent more Power Points on Combos. Seems like a fairly even trade-off.

RECAP: You can "link" one Combo to another (for the +2 speed bonus) if the LAST Maneuver in Combo A is the same as the FIRST Maneuver in Combo B, but you CANNOT combine the damage of two "linked" Combos for purposes of Dizzying an opponent.

But that's okay... my tournaments HAVE been a little screwy, although my players are still having fun.

Subject: Re: Offical Rules Discussion
Eh, don't worry about it. You should have seen some of the rules I came up
with when I first started running Street Fighter. My biggest mistake was
allowing any maneuver to be Aborted to. And before you say "what's wrong
with that?" Consider the following:

player 1 goes to punch player two.
player two aborts to block
player one aborts to knee basher. thump thump thump.

I later tried variations. Like, for example, letting people abort multiple
times so that player two could then abort to Jump if he saw the basher
coming. That didn't work well either and people wound up with no willpower
at the end of their fights. So I finally said you couldn't abort to a move
that was slower than the one you were currently performing. But finally I
said fuqit and just left the rules as written.

and actually, no rule is "wrong" as long as it works for you and your
players. Some people make guns do aggravated damage. Some don't. I apply
damage as normal except when the gunman is two hexes or closer to his
target. THEN I make it aggravated. Which is better? None of them are.
Witness all the discussions we've had over Blind Fighting lately... I
*still* think we haven't come to a conclusion on that one.

opponent. four or five dice every combat round that either can't be blocked
(too fast) or can only be blocked at the expense of a counter attack.
Sorry, but my money would go on the Jabber almost every time. All of that
for four experience points? Too powerful.

REPLY:
Right! The Jab-Fierce Combo is non-Dizzy... but even if it was, you would not add the Jab damage to that of the Fierce Punch and Fireball. You get the +2 speed with the Fireball, but the Jab is no longer involved.

Here's the catch: Jab-Fierce-Fireball (Dizzy) costs *3* Power Points. Jab-Fierce and Fierce-Fireball (Dizzy) cost a total of *3* Power Points. So even if you made Jab-Fierce a Dizzy, the end result would be LESS EFFECTIVE AND MORE EXPENSIVE than a Jab-Fierce-Fireball (Dizzy) Combo. So why buy two separate Combos?

Because... you could ALSO have a Block-Fierce Combo, which would let you do this:
1st move: Jab
2nd move: Fierce (+2 speed)
3rd move: Fireball (+2 speed)
...or...
1st Move: Block
2nd move: Fierce (+4 speed due to the Block)
3rd move: Fireball (+2 speed)

However, the other guys here have been shooting me down on this one. So I'm probably wrong again.

I lost all discution I only get the history of no end combo like jab to jab for example you make only jab in all moves the question is if you receive +2 in speed for example
move 1 jab normal for combo
move 2 jab combo speed +2 and begin combo
move 3 jab combo speed +2 start combo again
move 4 jab combo speed +2 and go on..

I think the book say all you only can get 3 manuvers combo and not more...

I lost all discution I only get the history of no end combo like jab to jab for example you make only jab in all moves the question is if you receive +2 in speed for example
move 1 jab normal for combo
move 2 jab combo speed +2 and begin combo
move 3 jab combo speed +2 start combo again
move 4 jab combo speed +2 and go on..

I think the book say all you only can get 3 manuvers combo and not more...

Dex 5 Jab.  Speed 7 on round one.  Combo.  Speed 9 on every move for the
rest of the fight.  If you have a decent Wits you can beat out many other
fighters because a Speed 9 Jab can defeat a Dex 5 Block (Speed 9 also).
You'll rarely get grabbed or hit with a heavy maneuver as well, as you can
merely interrupt and step out of the way.  If your opponent decides to Block
your Jabs, he's not attacking you and you're pinging away at him for a die
or more a round.  And Strength 5/Punch 5 Jabs do 9 dice of damage prior to
any other bonuses from Musical Accompaniment, Flaming Fist, Psychokinetic
Channeling, Brass Knuckles, etc; so that's four dice against a Stamina 5
opponent.  four or five dice every combat round that either can't be blocked
(too fast) or can only be blocked at the expense of a counter attack.
Sorry, but my money would go on the Jabber almost every time.  All of that
for four experience points?  Too powerful.

*Jab TO Fierce

This is problem. Peharps the most correct was:

Actually, I had _exactly_ this situation in my Street Fighter game last
night. One character (a kung fu practitioner) was running away from
self-destructing robots (had chosen a Movement maneuver), and, at the end
of the Movement maneuver wanted to use a Willpower and abort to a Jump
(to get up the stairs from where the Terminator-do people were). No way, I
said, that's not possible. Okay, he said.

Here's what *I* feel Aborting to a maneuver means:
* When you pay that willpower to change maneuvers (aborting to an abort
maneuver), you essentially change maneuvers! This does not refresh your
'allotted move' or anything... oh darn. I'll explain by example what I
mean.
Example 1: I have chosen Movement, and have a move of, say, 9 with that
maneuver. Because of other special maneuvers and so on, I have a basic
Jump (an abort maneuver) with a move of 5. Okay. I start running along
(Movement), and then suddenly decides jumping would be a good idea (some
goon is right around the corner and tries to hose me with his AK-74). But
when I do so, *I change my maneuver for that turn*. Thus, with a Jump my
total allowed movement would be 5! Therefore, if I've run up to 5 Move
with my Movement, I'd still have a remaining portion to Jump hexes
with. However, if I've run more than 4 Move, I won't be able to Jump hexes
because I've maxed out my movement. I'd still be considered Aerial to
dodge the projectile attack, though - basically, I'd be jumping in my hex.

I hope everyone understood what I meant. That's how I handle Aborts in my
game.

Subject: Re: Combos of combos
Combos of Combos, and 10-hit maneuvers.

Well, I don't know. I've never really considered the Tekken maneuvers to
be 10-hit combos, considering the Street Fighter paradigm. Perhaps naive
of me, but still, consider this example.

Yoshimitsu has several spinning 10-hit and 7-hit combos. If I were to
build such a maneuver in Street Fighter, I would possibly build it
something like this:

* Turbo spinning clothesline to cartwheel kick to lightning leg.

For instance.And, considering that combo, I would probably have one hell
of an experienced Street Fighter, and I would get a *truckload* of damage
tests - not merely the measly 10 tests which seem inherent in the 10-hit
combo system.

Another example: The 5 or 8 hit punch combo of Marshall Law (or Forrest
Law for that matter) are 5 (or 8) hit punch combos in the Tekken way. In
Street Fighter, they would likely be one, possibly two maneuvers, or two
maneuvers linked, thus:

Five-star stepping punch TO Up-down-up stepping punch (two separate
maneuvers linked in a combo), two maneuvers like:
Five-star stepping punch, Eight-star stepping punch.

Thus, that which _seems_ like an eight move combo in Tekken, would really
be aeither one special maneuver in Street Fighter, or a linked
two-maneuver combo.

Okay. Therefore, I believe the three-combo way of Street Fighter is
neither superior or inferior to the Tekken way of linking every maneuver -
it is merely different. Consider this: In Street Fighter, the Lightning
Leg is _one_ maneuver, with three damage tests (a flurry of kicks). The
nearest you come to a flurry of kicks in Tekken3, would be the kicking of
Hwoarang. Yet, you still have to press the one or the other kick button on
your pad _every time_ he kicks.

Besides, I never allow seamless transitions between combos. The combo may
be broken, or you may do moves that would 'seem' to be seamless combos,
but they are still divided into separate parts. When one combo is ended,
you have to _start_ another combo. Thus, the jab to jab combo (dizzy),
would in my game be:

Jab to Jab (+2 Speed, possibly dizzy) to Jab to Jab (+2 Speed, possibly
dizzy with the previous Jab) to Jab to ... I think you get the point.

Oh well, gotta go buy some clothes and whatnot.

>

I don't see any Cartwheel Kicks on his move list, but I agree with the Turbo Spinning Clothesline. I would suggest this for one of his 10-strings:

Jab-Triple Strike-Turbo Spinning Clothesline (Dizzy?)
...Tiger Knee-Fierce Sword Strike-Sword Sweep (Dizzy?)

This would follow the SFSTG 3-Maneuver limit, but allow for a ton of damage rolls. Even if you don't allow Combo Linking, the Tiger Knee's speed bonus should allow you to pull it all off.

If you allow Linked Combos, his Combo list might look like this:
Jab-Triple Strike (Dizzy)
Triple Strike-Turbo Spinning Clothesline (Dizzy)
Turbo Spinning Clothesline-Tiger Knee (Dizzy)
...etc...

The advantage is that you can get the speed bonus every time, but the disadvantages are that you'll end up spending more points on these Combos AND the Dizzies won't carry over from one Combo to the next. If you're dead-set against Linked Combos, just ignore this and use my 1st example.

>Another example: The 5 or 8 hit punch combo of Marshall Law (or Forrest Law for that matter) are 5 (or 8) hit punch combos in the Tekken way. In Street Fighter, they would likely be one, possibly two maneuvers, or two maneuvers linked, thus:

Never heard of a Stepping Punch. But if you're talking about the Left Fist Fury (aka Machine Gun Punch) Combo, it might look like this:

Jab-Jab-Rekka Ken Jab (Dizzy)

This follows the 3-Maneuver limit, and allows two more Rekka Ken Jabs after the fact, for a total of 5 fast punches and two big Dizzies!

>Besides, I never allow seamless transitions between combos. The combo may be broken, or you may do moves that would 'seem' to be seamless combos, but they are still divided into separate parts. When one combo is ended, you have to _start_ another combo.

this is precisely what I'm trying to disprove...Take Ryu for example. He has these two Combos:
Jab-Improved Fireball (Dizzy)
and
Improved Fireball-Dragon Punch

If Combo Linking is allowed, he could do this:
1st turn: Jab
2nd turn: Improved Fireball (+2 speed, Dizzy)
3rd turn: Dragon Punch (+2 speed)

The Dragon Punch doesn't add to the Dizzy. Without Combo Linking, he'd have to launch a second Improved Fireball (at normal speed, with no Dizzy) to play a Dragon Punch at +2 speed.

The general consensus here seems to be that Combo Linking is either unfair or unnecessary, so perhaps I should just admit that the horse is dead and that further beatings are unwarranted.

I totally agree. This makes perfect sense. Another example: Say I begin a match with a Flying Knee Thrust. My Athletics rating is 3, so I can move up to 4 hexes before delivering the Knee. I move 3 hexes to end up adjacent to my opponent... but he interrupts me with a Suplex (for sake of argument, let's say he gained a speed bonus by Intimidating me before the bell...) I can Abort to a Jump, but since my Move with a Jump is only 3, and I've already moved 3 hexes, I can't Move! If I had a higher Athletics rating, I'd still have 1 more hex and I could escape from the Suplex.

A Jab is a quick, snapping Punch that is designed to catch you off guard and annoy you. It doesn't have Knockback. And you can Move every time you Jab, so even if the opponent is moving away, or trying to enter your hex and Grab you, you can keep Jabbing him. Again, even at higher speeds, Jabs alone will not take you to the winners' circle...

This example is perfect if you have a Jab-Jab (Dizzy) Combo AND allow Combo Linking. Consecutive Jabs add up for Dizzies, but ONLY TWO JABS accumulate damage this way: so if you got 2 points of damage with every Jab, you'd never have more than 4 points to score a Dizzy.

Ryu, on the other hand, has a Short-Short-Short (Dizzy) Combo, that allows him to tally up all three kicks to check for a Dizzy. And if Combo Linking is allowed, he could bust right into another three without slowing down. However, if I have a Combo that starts with Kick Defense, I can make him cut it out and do something else!

If you allow Linking Combos, you WOULD get the +2 speed with the Fireball, BUT: you DON'T add the damage of the Jab when checking for a Dizzy. Only the Fierce and the Fireball add up.

This example is "correct" if Linking Combos are allowed. Again, you don't add ALL the Jabs together when checking for a Dizzy: you add the current Jab to the Jab from the previous turn ONLY!

>Fabio:I think what the problem 2 can be resolved not permitting repeated-maneuvers combos.

I would agree, EXCEPT Ryu has this Combo: Short-Short-Short (Dizzy)

My suggestion, if you want Linking Combos but not "infinite" Combos, is this: No matter what Combos you have, or what rules you are using, you can NEVER play the same Maneuver more than 3 times in a row. I think this rule would keep people from just using the same Maneuver over and over, while still allowing Combos to be "linked." Or, you could just give out Glory and /or Honor penalties to people who did the same thing turn after turn. After all, the crowd doesn't want to watch two guys Jab eachother all night.

If you allow Linking Combos, this example is correct. But only the Fierce Punch and Fireball are added together to Dizzy an opponent. The Jab is NOT part of a Dizzy Combo.

If Linked Combos are NOT allowed, then THIS example was correct.

Again, if you allow Combo Linking, then this is correct, but only two jabs can eve4r be added to eachother to score a Dizzy.

>I think what the problem 2 can be resolved not permitting repeated-maneuvers combos.

The only problem I have with that rule is that Ryu has a Short Kick-Short Kick-Short Kick (Dizzy) Combo. This means he gets to add ALL THREE kicks together to score a Dizzy.

If you allow Linked Combos, then he can go right back to another Short Kick after the third one and start all over again with a +2 speed bonus...

I would suggest this: No matter what combos you have, and even if Combo Linking is allowed, you can NEVER use the same Maneuver more than 3 turns in a row. So even if you had Jab-Jab (Dizzy) AND allow Linked Combos, this is the best you can do with it:

1st turn: Jab (normal speed)
2nd turn: Jab (+2 speed; add damage of previous Jab for Dizzy)
3rd turn: Jab (+2 speed, add damage of previous Jab but NOT first Jab for Dizzy)
4th turn: Anything but Jab!

Would this satisfy anyone?

If you have STR 5, DEX 5, PUNCH 5, and high WITS, then you're a goddamn boxing machine and can do whatever you want. Flaming Fist is okay if you're a Flamer, but I wouldn't reccommend Elemental rules in ANY chronicle. Psychokinetic Channeling is expensive (especially if you've already sunk that many points into STR, DEX, WITS, and PUNCH...) And any Storyteller who allowed Brass Knuckles in a Tournament Match deserves whatever headaches he gets.

All of that
>> for four experience points? Too powerful.

Maybe... I'm not MARRIED to the idea of Linking Combos, I just think it can be used without too much imbalance. If you add a rule that you can NEVER use the same Maneuver more than 3 times in a row, I think it'll work out okay. Also, a Jab-Jab (Dizzy) Combo costs 2 Power Points (8 XP) whereas Deflecting Punch-Move would Block the Jab, inflict damage, and get you outta Dodge for just 4 XP...
