Bonus Stages

In the Street Fighter II series, bonus stages consisted of beating up various inanimate objects. Though they are not optional, these stages are only purposed for gaining additional points to achieve a high score. There are three different stages:

Car Stage

In the car stage, the player has to destroy the car in under 40 seconds. Each hit to the car awards 100 points, and if all hits are landed successfully a maximum of 24400 points will be awarded along with 100 points per second left on the clock and a bonus 30,000 points for achieving a "perfect" round. Players must destroy the left side of the car, then the right side, and then the body of the car from either side. The bonus stage takes place in a port town in the United States, and the stage is similar to Ken's stage, Battle Harbor.

Barrels Stage

In the barrel stage, the player has to wait below for barrels to drop down from above and then smash them using any attack. At first glance there appears to be a 20-second timer, though it is actually a count for how many barrels are left. Players must smash the barrels as they land to gain 1000 points each, which adds up to 20,000 points if all are broken. This combined with the 30,000 point "perfect" bonus will award the maximum score of 50,000. There is no time-limit.

Drums Stage

In the drums stage, the player has to destroy in 40 seconds a pyramid made of oil drum cans set on fire. The oil drums sometimes will spread fire and hurt the player.

Gameplay and mechanics

We are gonna explain all the mechanics and gameplay taking in mind that we are playing in SNES, so, all the controls will be translated at the SNES controller.

The button configuration can be changed using the option mode.

Movement

Forward (F): Used to walk forward.

Forward flip (FF): Used to jump forward

Jump (J): Used to jump straight up

Backward flip (BF): Used to jump backward

Back defense (BD): Used to block high attacks from enemy

Defensive crouch (DC): Used to block low attacks from enemy

Crouch (C): Used to crouch

Offensive crouch (OC): Used to make low attacks.

We are going to use the shortcuts in order to explain how to execute the Special moves.

Punches and kicks

There are three basic punches and kicks in Street Fighter II:

• Light Punch (lp): Press Y button. Quick and low damage punch.

• Medium Punch (mp): Press the X button. Does a fair amount of damage.

---

Close attacks

Close attacks can only be used when two players are right next to each other. There are basically two basic categories: Throws and Holds.

• Throws: Allows you to grab an enemy and toss them across the room. Some characters can do mid-air throws. The Ryu's signature throw over his shoulder can be realized pushing the L button while pushing forward.

• Holds: Allows you to grab an enemy and then smash them repeatedly. For example, to do Blanka's Head Bite, Blanka must push forward and then push the L button.

Special moves

Each character has developed his or her own special moves to use in battle before mentioned in the Playable characters section. Special moves are very powerful, but they are also very diffcult to learn and master. Now we are going to see how to execute all the special movements before mentioned.

Remember: We are using the movement shortcut keys to explain the execution of the attack.

Difficulty

Since we are analyzing a fighting game, it is hard to set a specified difficulty to the game because each player has his/her own skills and that's difficult to rate. On the other hand, in the arcade mode we have seen that the further you get through all the battles, we feel that it gets more complicated. Furthermore, in the option mode, you can set the CPU difficulty from 0 to 7.

Although we can't rate the game difficulty, we are going to detail a bunch of tips that can help begginers players to improve their fighting skills.

1. Use the Back Defense (BD) and Defensive Crouch (DC) positions to block the attacks.

2. Wait for a mistake by your opponent and then attack.

3. Do not use special moves too much. They will often leave you vulnerable to attack.

4. You can nullify a Fireball with a Fireball.

5. You can make the enemy dizzy if you hit three strong hits to him. When your opponent is dizzy, inflict as much damage as possible.

6. If you are dizzy, keep pressing left and right to shake off the stars generated.

7. If you practice all the characters, you will know their strenghts and weaknesses in battle.

8. Set the difficulty level in 0 to make it easier to learn how to use your punches and kicks.

The Option Mode

The option mode allows the player to change characteristics of the game. You can get in this mode in the title screen. These are the following features that you can change.

• Difficulty: This option changes the difficulty of the computer opponent. There are seven levels of difficulty, each one of them getting more complicated.

• Time limit: This option allows the player to turn on or off the Time limit.

• Configure: This option allows you to change the button configuration for your fighter's punches and kicks. These can be changed both for player 1 and player 2.

• Stereo: This option allows to select either STEREO or MONOAURAL sound.

• Music Test: This option allows you to hear various pieces of music used in the game.

• S.E Test: This option allows you to hear varius sound effects used in the game.

Frame Data/Damage and Score points

In the SNES version, the full life meter of each fighter consists of 175 single tiles, each of them "worth" 100 points. Therefore, the full life bar is "worth" 17500 points. By hitting an opponent with an attack, the life meter (naturally) decreases, until it reaches a point LOWER than zero. At this point, the round ends, either with the fighter having zero or more energy left being declared the winner of the round or with a double-KO.

Each attack after the first one has the tendency to add 100 points of damage to the initial attack damage. This goes for all moves

With each attack, you receive a determined amount of points. These points just give you information about high-scores and rankings.

Next, we are going to detail all the frame data, damage and score points from all the characters and their respective moves and attacks.

• Misc:
  • st. = standing
  • cr. = crouching
  • j. = jumping
  • The numbers in bold are the hitting frames.
  • In each attack, there are three rows. From top to bottom: Light/medium/hard attack.
  • We can not guarantee that this document is error-free

We have to mention that in this list there are not all the attacks of the game, so it is not 100% complete.
