Did you say Ehrgeiz!?! I LOVE that game!! The entire cast is worthy of
conversion. Maybe if no one else does it, I will. Oh wait, I still have
mucho trabajo to do on my Rival Schools conversions. Oh well. I'll be
going back to my hole now.

I used Ravana too, only mine could "shadowport", "split form", and had his
own mini-dimension where he kept zombie versions of his victims. My
characters were pretty freaked after they fought one of their friends, and
after defeating her, she turned into a pile of dust. It was probably my
most graphic adventure ^_^

Maybe I should clarify what I meant by "bad guys" They aren't evil, in the
sense that they don't go kill some innocent bystander for no reason, they
don't plan to rule the world in any way what-so-ever, basicly the way the
have been playing their characters is that they are "family" and they look
out for each other. Ultamitely they do what is best for them, inside or
outside the law. If someone double crosses them it's their life. They don't
kill for fun or for no reason but they also don't tip toe around being nice
guys.

They don't go around righting wrongs unless there is something in it for
them, they don't do charity, they don't do "good deeds"

But at the same time they give back to there "people" (They kinda own a city)
their people are taken care of and they protect them. Not out of love for
there people so much as they consider it there's so anyone who attacks their
people attack them and the respond with force as well.

The reason I went this way is that my players like the darkside of the law.
The don't work well with government agencies, or law enforcement agencies.
They do it their way, it isn't as pretty, it isn't always right, but it's
their way. They don't abuse it, they enjoy it.

They are kinda Mafia...only as Street Fighters. It's been alot of fun, and it
was something that we had never tried before. They don't backstab each other
because we all know that isn't fun, they get along with each other well and
back each other up 100%.

You should try it sometime, see what your group does...it is truly a
different way to play

Well to myunderstanding Northern styles or chang chuan,focus on more
acrobatic and aerial techniques, while maintaining a circular range of
motion and movement. Conversely Southern styles, or nan chuan, focusses more

on a lower center of gravity and more linear movement. Wushu is inherently
Northern, but not all Northern Styles are considered wushu. Another term
that was created during the last century was kuoshu, which is a more
specific term for Kung Fu meaning "national art"

none of my players had the guts to fight him, unfortunately. They kinda
turned tail and ran when they saw him decapitate a Ninja from behind.

Me: "The flashlight beam wobbles for a moment, then drops sharply to the
floor. A moment or two later, a severed head wrapped in black lands in the
beam."

Players (in unison): "Goodbye".

  I know some people enjoy those kind of games, but "dark side" characters should be bad guys. If you have a character taking pleasure out of beating the living crap out of someone who called him a jerk, or would shoot him through the spine for getting double-crossed, you've lost something important, in my opinion, about role-playing games. They should be played hero = player. I don't know about you, but I don't root for the villain when i go to the movies.

  I suppose if you're players like it, and all of them have no problem with it, I have no real argument. Still, it would be fun to get them going against true hero-types and get a lecture from them in morality.

Not bad someones Knows his stuff. yah the styles seem toto be divided
exactly the way most Kung Fu is in china. Northern Styles having more high
Stance and Southern stance more Lower. Nan Chuan and Chang Chuan arnt the
only forms though. Actually Chang Chuan, Broadsword, Staff have all just
recently been revamped. An the new broad sword is NICE.
The ballance is more centered.

for other Wushu Forms there's Tom Bei, Jing Pow(eagle claw), Joi
Kuen(drunken fist). And as for weapons theres, The three I mentioned before
plus Southern Staff, Southern broadSword, ChainWhip, Knife, Kwan Dao and
Double combinations.

Hello Everyone!

My real name is Jerome (I am french). My nickname is backick (due to
street fighter rpg!). I have a french site on Conspiracy X
(www.sden.org/jdr/conspiracyx).

I started playing a Street Fighter RPG 7 years ago, before White WOlf
bought the license. When WW issued their RPG I switched to their game
because the fighting rules were excellent. I played this game a lot.
I stopped 2 years ago because, my players and I wanted to change (we
got involved in Star Wars, Conspiracy X and Warhammer...). But, SF
remains one of my favorite rpg because there is a lot of fun in it
and my players and I developed a very rich background (which the main
thing that is missing in the WW conversion I think).

I always had a question, I wanted to ask to other gamemasters. Don't
you think that tha cartwhell kick manoeuver is too powerful? I
changed the damage to -1 if not my nijitsu player was crushing anyone
with it.

Thanks!

Jérôme > backick

not if you remember that Kick Defense, Maka Wara, Toughskin, and several
other maneuvers cause it serious problems, and also that once the kicker
(and victim) hit an obstacle, such as a wall, THE MANEUVER ENDS. Unless
your fights always take place in big wide open spaces, the Cartwheel Kick is
harmless.

Once I shake this fever, I really gotta finish that FAQ.

no, it was str + kick + 0. The Move bonus was +4. In a wide-open space you
have the potential to do a lot of damage, but it's far from unstoppable.

I always thought that the cartwheel kick was a very cheap move because
any style could get it..I'm sorry, but I just couldn't see a sumo
wrestler doing a cartwheel kick, players could jump over it, or do the
dex vs. dex thing, interrupt and punch em in the nuts!! cartwheel kick
me now!! after we put some difficulties on it from that low blow

but that's me, hi :)

Dhakmar was a participant in a tourney on Mriganka I held once. I haven't
used the others yet, but I really like the Unspeakables as a concept.

M. Bison grinned evilly as he prepared to unleash his
latest terror team on the unsuspecting World Warriors.
His scientists had analized everything that
frightened good, decent folk, and come up with forms
that would throw the world into utter chaos. 'Yes',
he thought to himself with an evil chuckle,
'Operation: Teletubbies would be his vilest plan

Sorry, had to do that. The T.T. just creep me out.

watch it with people who are rip-roaringly drunk. it takes on a whole new
meaning.

on a similar vein, what was your favorite 'ripoff' weapon that you borrowed
for your campaign? Currently, I'm having fun sending my players all over
the globe to stop United Enforcement from building a prototype lightsaber so
that they may allow Bison to complete Project Dark Force. Which is, of
course, a 'clone' of Darth Maul. (IE, a highly-trained Wu Shu fighter with
Focus powers). United Enforcement also manufactures Battle Droids and their
Destroyer variants, along with the ED-209 (which I've populated Mriganka
with; they could eat those Elite Robots for lunch).

Well... At last I've been able to connect, albeit temporarily. That
bastard modem of mine gave up the ghost - I think. I just can't make it
work properly. I hate device drivers :)

Why can't we all just be ... friends? :)

Anyways - I'm pleased that I won. Or rather, that The Dragon Reborn
won. Here's what he's got to say:

... The Dragon Spirit's presence is evinced by the tell-tale blue glow
around the body of The Dragon Reborn. The Dragon Reborn looks at his
opponent, and says "Your strategy may need rethinking. We are honored to
pit our skills against yours."

My players shiver when I use the M-word...
one of my fellow gm's or storytellers ran an adventure where some sf's

I used the infinty gems once, time,mind,soul,power,reality
and I used the rings to make a shadoloo version of captain planet
(captain pollution)
I'll think of more take care!!

You know it's funny you ask this. Anyone who knew my rants before my
self-imposed hiatus, are well familiar with my quest to get this book. Well
last february I was finally able to procure a copy for retail price off
eBay. Finally, my collection was complete, the elusive sourcebook in my
hands. So I sat down to read it.

WARNING: WHAT FOLLOWS IS ONLY MY OPINION. PLEASE DO NOT FLAME. THANK YOU; WE
NOW RETURN TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING.

To be honest, the Contenders characters, with few exceptions, are just about
the silliest things I've ever read. PArt of it was the uninspired character
design; I'm a kind-of manga artist, so visual design is part of a
character's appeal for me, especially for Street Fighter. In fact, I found
most of the character art ot be pretty boring with thier oddly proportioned
staures (especially the women)and bland, monochromatic costuming. Everthing
else was just kinda so-so.

What I did like:

Dhakmar was a pretty interesting character, both in terms of visual and game
design. I think he had/has real potential to be a third party in the World
Warriors vs Shadoloo conflict.

Eric the Red So Fine. Only becasue his name was funky.

Ravana. All sorts of cool. He even LOOKED frightening.

The non fighter NPCs: Actually a pretty fun bunch. Groupie aside, I found
Marcie Calahan, Master Takeshi, and Dr. Lao to be fairly interesting. I did
find it odd that if Marcie used to be a pro wrestler they didn't give her
the style or any accompanying maneuvers. Sai, the Green Ninja was a little
too hokey but she had her merits. Heck I even like Wolff Sprenger, though he
was justa little too cookie cutter sleazeball-with-a-golden-heart reporter.

The War House: Even though I didn't like a few of the characters (see below)
it gets points for originality.

What I thought was okay:

The Gibson Girl: Interesting concept, but done before. Aslo, her character
design looked like she had two sacks of water down the front of her shirt
and she had a glazed look on her face. and no, I DON'T think it was to
convey the fact she was artificial.

Praetorian: I'm a little against the inclusion of aliens in Street Fighter,
but if they put him in, they should have provided more on this Intergalactic
situation he was in. At the very least they could have included a kit write
up for his "style". I will say however, I do think an intergalactic
gladiatorial conflict would make a great chronicle, but in a different
setting.

Team Extreme: Other than sounding like the gymnastics team that visits
elementary schools, I found it highly implausible that they would set up a
brother and sister duo to handle military operations alone. William Stanton
could be great as a NPC and the Cooper siblings are actually decent. I just
think they should have rounded out the team with more fighters.

Shan Lung: Better as an NPC than as a player character. Too easy to abuse,
though the concept is cool.


What I didn't like:

Midnight: Generic Ninja+Batman = boring. It's just another instance in a
long line of misunderstandings of the ninja. the one thing I ninja doesn't
want is to be noticed.

The Unspeakables: While this could be a good point of reference for
Darkstalkers characters, having obvious monsters really came across as
tacky. "The Thing That Should Not Be" also sounds like a 5o's horror movie.

K.O.: Not only did he look like Boris Badenov, if this weirdo ever showed up
in my campaign it would be to be brutally, yes BRUTALLY murdered. Probably
involving bloodthirsty dung beetles. Also, what was up with White Wolf's
affinity for Irish-Asian characters? Nothing against it, but it was unusual.

The Chain: What the HELL was this freak doing anywhere NEAR Street Fighter
material? Not only did he have THE most annoying face in the book, what was
UP with his obsession on his legs? Disturbing.

That's my rant, I guess. I was just a little diappointed, especially after
waiting so long to find the book. It of course has its merits, mostly due to
the style kits. I have to give White Wolf props for including lesser known
styles such as Lua and Pancriatium a presence in the game.

On that note: does anyone else find it odd that There was never an official
writeup for a Tae Kwon Do kit? I know there are more than enough
fan-produced kit available, but I do find it strange that one of the most
popular arts was never given its own writeup.

Anyway, I remain...

My biggest problem with Contenders was that most of the fighters in it were
too weak. I remember a while back flipping through the book looking for a
challenge for my players and kept going "weak, weak, weak, hmm, could be...
eh, weak, weak, weak..."

For the most part they were too badly constructed. Rolling Thunder, for
example, had no obvious advantages to being cybernetic. I mean, Nychus
didn't even have stats for her blades or claws? And Rix, Rank Four with
every damn move under the sun listed on his sheet.

You'll be happy to know that Eric the Red and the Chain were the first two
victims of Ravana during his debut in my game. The Chain is much more
tolerable when he's had his spine ripped out.

Except for the "concept" characters who were supposed to be badasses, all of
the fighters were just ineffective.

I liked the Unspeakables, though. I'm a big Lovecraft fan so I thought it
was funny.

Well as I'm a child of 80's pop culture, I tended to use a lot of characters
more than weapons.

My most unusual import to date was the appearance of Nemesis Enforcer from
the GI Joe movie. He was part of the alternate universe storyline and had a
lot more powers.

As far as an actual item, I'd have to say pulling out the Guyver Unit from
the anime BioBooster Armor Guyver was s lick trick. Also part of the
alternate universe storyline, it was attached to one Charles Nash.

You know it's funny you ask this. Anyone who knew my rants before my
self-imposed hiatus, are well familiar with my quest to get this book. Well
last february I was finally able to procure a copy for retail price off
eBay. Finally, my collection was complete, the elusive sourcebook in my
hands. So I sat down to read it.

WARNING: WHAT FOLLOWS IS ONLY MY OPINION. PLEASE DO NOT FLAME. THANK YOU; WE
NOW RETURN TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING.

To be honest, the Contenders characters, with few exceptions, are just about
the silliest things I've ever read. PArt of it was the uninspired character
design; I'm a kind-of manga artist, so visual design is part of a
character's appeal for me, especially for Street Fighter. In fact, I found
most of the character art ot be pretty boring with thier oddly proportioned
staures (especially the women)and bland, monochromatic costuming. Everthing
else was just kinda so-so.

What I did like:

Dhakmar was a pretty interesting character, both in terms of visual and game
design. I think he had/has real potential to be a third party in the World
Warriors vs Shadoloo conflict.

Eric the Red So Fine. Only becasue his name was funky.

Ravana. All sorts of cool. He even LOOKED frightening.

The non fighter NPCs: Actually a pretty fun bunch. Groupie aside, I found
Marcie Calahan, Master Takeshi, and Dr. Lao to be fairly interesting. I did
find it odd that if Marcie used to be a pro wrestler they didn't give her
the style or any accompanying maneuvers. Sai, the Green Ninja was a little
too hokey but she had her merits. Heck I even like Wolff Sprenger, though he
was justa  little too cookie cutter sleazeball-with-a-golden-heart reporter.

The War House: Even though I didn't like a few of the characters (see below)
it gets points for originality.

What I thought was okay:

The Gibson Girl: Interesting concept, but done before. Aslo, her character
design looked like she had two sacks of water down the front of her shirt
and she had a glazed look on her face. and no, I DON'T think it was to
convey the fact she was artificial.

Praetorian: I'm a little against the inclusion of aliens in Street Fighter,
but if they put him in, they should have provided more on this Intergalactic
situation he was in. At the very least they could have included a kit write
up for his "style". I will say however, I do think an intergalactic
gladiatorial conflict would make a great chronicle, but in a different
setting.

Team Extreme: Other than sounding like the gymnastics team that visits
elementary schools, I found it highly implausible that they would set up a
brother and sister duo to handle military operations alone. William Stanton
could be great as a NPC and the Cooper siblings are actually decent. I just
think they should have rounded out the team with more fighters.

Shan Lung: Better as an NPC than as a player character. Too easy to abuse,
though the concept is cool.


What I didn't like:

Midnight: Generic Ninja+Batman = boring. It's just another instance in a
long line of misunderstandings of the ninja. the one thing I ninja doesn't
want is to be noticed.

The Unspeakables: While this could be a good point of reference for
Darkstalkers characters, having obvious monsters really came across as
tacky. "The Thing That Should Not Be" also sounds like a 5o's horror movie.

K.O.: Not only did he look like Boris Badenov, if this weirdo ever showed up
in my campaign it would be to be brutally, yes BRUTALLY murdered. Probably
involving bloodthirsty dung beetles. Also, what was up with White Wolf's
affinity for Irish-Asian characters? Nothing against it, but it was unusual.

The Chain: What the HELL was this freak doing anywhere NEAR Street Fighter
material? Not only did he have THE most annoying face in the book, what was
UP with his obsession on his legs? Disturbing.

That's my rant, I guess. I was just a little diappointed, especially after
waiting so long to find the book. It of course has its merits, mostly due to
the style kits. I have to give White Wolf props for including lesser known
styles such as Lua and Pancriatium a presence in the game.

On that note: does anyone else find it odd that There was never an official
writeup for a Tae Kwon Do kit? I know there are more than enough
fan-produced kit available, but I do find it strange that one of the most
popular arts was never given its own writeup.

Anyway, I remain...

Darrick

Well as I'm a child of 80's pop culture, I tended to use a lot of characters
more than weapons.

My most unusual import to date was the appearance of Nemesis Enforcer from
the GI Joe movie. He was part of the alternate universe storyline and had a
lot more powers.

As far as an actual item, I'd have to say pulling out the Guyver Unit from
the anime BioBooster Armor Guyver was s lick trick. Also part of the
alternate universe storyline, it was attached to one Charles Nash.

Subject: [streetfighter] Here comes a new challenger!

Hello Everyone!

My real name is Jerome (I am french). My nickname is backick (due to
street fighter rpg!). I have a french site on Conspiracy X
(www.sden.org/jdr/conspiracyx).

I started playing a Street Fighter RPG 7 years ago, before White WOlf
bought the license. When WW issued their RPG I switched to their game
because the fighting rules were excellent. I played this game a lot.
I stopped 2 years ago because, my players and I wanted to change (we
got involved in Star Wars, Conspiracy X and Warhammer...). But, SF
remains one of my favorite rpg because there is a lot of fun in it
and my players and I developed a very rich background (which the main
thing that is missing in the WW conversion I think).

I always had a question, I wanted to ask to other gamemasters. Don't
you think that tha cartwhell kick manoeuver is too powerful? I
changed the damage to -1 if not my nijitsu player was crushing anyone
with it.

Thanks!

Jérôme > backick
