I feel like the 512 rule can also have very, VERY negative effects as well. Namely, if the player is doing a blatantly wrong input when the move comes out, and they know what they were doing when it came out, they might get stuck repeating that incorrect input trying to recreate the effect.

@thelastgogeta

Fortunately, this is "good" for Capcom. They get a big moment to happen which might lead to putting it more quarters even if the player(s) never finds out why the move happened. Turbo mode was partially implemented for the sake of getting more people to put in quarters by Capcom according to Itsuno. Another 512 Rule issue may be getting specials when you don't want them which puts you into trouble but they tend to be pretty strong on hit or block in SF2, so it isn't necessarily bad.

I didn't learn how to do a dp motion flawlessly just to wake up and block. What are you gonna do, punch me, rc, carry me to the corner and delete 90% of my health? Didn't think so.

A better way would've been to use character intros to show special moves. DMC5 for example does that by constantly having Nero rev his sword during cutscenes and even charging 1 bar of exceed sometimes. For example in SF2 a round intro could start with Guile vs Ryu throwing a projectile at each other or if it was Zangief vs Ryu, Ryu would throw a Hadouken and Zangief could use a Lariat while getting into the starting position.

That's a pretty good idea which may not even need much more work. My only issue is that if it did exist in SF2, it would slow down things a lot unless it was skippable. Fatal Fury's solution in 1991 was to show the exact command and a video example directly in the game if you went far enough into arcade mode. I'm pretty sure the game shows all of the special moves for playable characters and that it is skippable. It also has the "New Challenger" idea from Street Fighter only that the second player joins you against an arcade opponent before fighting you and continuing the arcade run.

For anyone wondering why the number 512 specifically, very likely had to do with the size of the data type used to calculate it. Its likely to be a 2 in 1024 chance, not 1 in 512, as 1024 bits are the amount in a kilobit. They probably had an integer data type of size 1024 and randomly picked a number until it hit 1 or 2 for example.

@simplus1980

"an integer data type of size 1024" I presume you do not mean a 1024 bits integer, which would be stupidly overkill even today, but that you meant an integer able to hold a value from... hmm, nope, makes no sense. A 10 bits unsigned integer would hold a value from 0 to 1023 which would be fine to run a 2 out 1024 roll, but then, why not a 9 bits integer which would be fine to run a 1 out of 512 roll. The CPS-2 uses 16 bits registers and data bus, nothing is gained or saved by a 9, 10 or 11 bits integer data type. A 10 bits integer data type? I'd be curious to hear the justification for that. Or what they called it.

@TheMisterGuy

"They probably had an integer data type of size 1024" Why would they have a 10-bit integer type? I've never heard of that. And why would you think it's a 10-bit integer instead of a 9-bit integer? Why would it not just be a check against a regular old 16-bit register with a random value, and they treat it as unsigned and check if it's less than 32?

The CPU used was a Motorola 68000 (same as the Sega Genesis), which had 8-, 16-, and 32-bit integers. An 8-bit integer holds numbers from 0 to 255 (which is 2^8 - 1), which isn't large enough, but a 16-bit integer holds numbers from 0 to 65,535 (which is 2^16 - 1). My guess is they generated a random 16-bit integer and they zeroed out the top 7 bits, which would give you a random 9-bit number from 0 to 511 (which is 2^10 - 1). It's true that 1024 is the number of bits in a kilobit, but that has no relevance here. The reason the number 1024 was chosen for that is similar, though, because it's a power of 2 (specifically 2^10).

I remember learning about the 512 mechanic in the Trivia section of SFII: World Warrior in the 30th Anniversary collection, and thinking it was cool, but also strange.

I actually had a similar experience with Blazblue Central Fiction. It was one of the first 2D fighting games I really tried learning and I played (and still do play) Mai. She has a unique mechanic called Variable arts in that game were her normals can be canceled into other normals either on hit or wiff but those other normals can only be canceled into, they can't be done without first using the correct sequence for example any standing normal into 5A gives you a plus on block poke and if you then do 5C you'll get a low hitting projectile. Since these moves aren't on the move list I had no idea how to do them at first but I would occasionally misinput them and I thought a lot of them looked really cool so I found as many of them as I could and it was a ton of fun.

Gief was always my main, so landing my first clumsy spd after an empty jump, the only way I knew back then to have a 360° connect on the ground, felt great. By the time of champion edition and Turbo I graduated to buffering and hiding the motion behind normals and I finally started doing more winning than losing with Gief. And finally by the time of Super and Super Turbo I found out about the input shortcut, ➡️↘️⬇️↙️⬅️↖️⬆️ +P, that made the fabled walk forward spd possible and my commitment to grapplers in fighting games was set in stone. My point here is that while having access to everything you need to start playing a new fighting game is great it came at the cost of that sense of wonder you had back in the arcade days, when you never knew if there were still moves or secrets waiting to be discovered.

Just yesterday night, I played JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage For The Future with a 10 year old who has never played the game before.

I was trying to teach this boi dragon punch inputs, but ended up teaching him Shadow Dio's timestop first because he thought it was cool and wanted to do that. Shadow Dio's timestop command is C6A4S (I think, I may have gotten that slightly wrong, normally takes a minute of experimenting in-game to remember what it was) but he was fine doing it. He thought Shadow Dio's 623A command grab was cool so he did learn that one after, so yeah he still figured out dp's. Come on smash players, a 10 year old who has never touched a fighting game is better at doing motion inputs than you.

A mixture of reasons. One could be technical limitations since they wanted to use all of the storage on expressive sprites, effects and music. Another could be that they thought that secrets were cool. Tekken didn't explain the EWGF, the most famous attack in the competitive scene till Tekken 7 and didn't have frame data till it sold it in Tekken 7. The series also doesn't display combo counters during matches even if it does doing training mode. On the note of profit, they may also want to see that information as part of video game guides back in the day. I actually know a 1991 game which gives players the special move commands directly in the game. Fatal Fury 1. It told you commands for all special moves with video examples, but only when you got further in arcade mode. SNK arcade games also tend to show the basic control layout after you boot them up, but between arcade games needing to move fast to get your quarters and console games having manuals to stuff information into. They didn't think that making games give out the full movelist was that important if it potentially meant losing the ability to add music, characters or modes. Other game series are probably better with information than others.

When I first heard about this mechanic I thought it had to be a leg pull. But nope. I fired up MAME, kept mashing jab, being very careful not to even touch the D-pad or analog stick, and sure enough, eventually a hadoken came out.

This is like the opposite of the 1/256 rule in Gen1 pokemon

Hmm coming from the action RPG, Phantasy Star Online 2 (PSO2), I’m starting to see where the “Simplified Movement” or “Smart PA” comes from. Both PSO2 controls are a single button press or hold that has the game pick out something that is usually stronger than a normal attack like fireballs out of a mage class or charged projectiles out of a ranged class. Similarly the community is divided because they see people going through a whole encounter just holding that “do something cool” button because you can easily do more damage by selecting the moves yourself. Unlike the 512 rule though, it is an assignable button, so it allows players who want to learn the attacks to “take off the training wheels” simply by not assigning any input to Smart PA or Simplified Movement.

Back in my teen days, I liked fighting game only as casual (singleplayer content was very importent) and I hated when a fighting game have not a command list build in to see all moves. And thats why Soul Calibur 2 is my favourit (fighting) game back then on the Game Cube. Huge singelplayer content, a good command list, great music and Link. ;P

background song name? Sounds like Electric Wizard, Bongripper, Sleep, OM or something else in the drone/fuzz doom genre

3:02 - Is that Viscant in the blue backward hat?

I totally agree with MajinObama - I hated fighting games for years until I played Dead or Alive 4, and could actually do the cool stuff. I sucked at SF style games because I can’t reliably do quarter- or half- circles, and I just got bored and frustrated quickly. Some people make fun of DOA and its fans, and I guess I understand why - it’s like the fighting game equivalent of an isekai anime or something - but as a gateway to other games, I think it’s genuinely a good one. It’s easy to do cool stuff, the characters have a unique feel to how they play, you start to understand the importance of blocking and countering, and most of them look cool or pretty or badass. And it’s still going to make you learn some combos and such which you won’t get from Smash Bros. After I understood why fighting games are cool, I did eventually learn to play SF4 and DBFighterZ. I’m not amazing, and I have to use a game pad rather than a stick, but I can actually play them and occasionally even win matches online, so I’m actually glad I stuck with it.

Doing a hard combo in practice mode is fun, but doing it in a match where your muscle memory takes over and tells you to do the easier combo, and actually nailing that tough combo and not missing an input, that's some real satisfaction right there.

3:40 "patreons" lol I hope people don't think that's the actual word haha

Seriously, I find it annoying when playing old (even current fighting games) where the move doesn’t have a visual, or even a name. One of my favourites is tekken because it doesn’t show what the move does from the command list, but one click, and it shows it for you in game and also shows the commands if you have it on when in training, so you can see how to time the inputs.
