Holy, that is quite the set of minis.
Thank you for the quick answer! It matters for the people who are, like me, fans of 3D games (since Virtual Fighter, I should add). I've never liked being unable to sidestep - although ironically, I don't even do it that much with some* characters.The rules for 3D emulation take a couple forms. First, modeling a 3D game is more likely to use a battle map rather than the presumed back-and-forth of the normal Range system. Second, you can use the rules for Attack Strings (which were also in 1st edition, though they were cleaned up in 2nd edition). Attack Strings prioritize short Combos of Basic Moves with an effect at the end of the them that duplicate the effects of Special Moves. So, for example, you might do an Attack String that consists of Basic-Basic-Basic, but which then Knocks Down the opponent. More Attack Strings and fewer "Special Moves." That's how you can take a Tekken's character's move list of 90 moves and reduce to about 20-25 (which is still pretty huge!)
The Keywords are an addition to Elements, not a replacement of them. The Keywords are intended to provide a "standardized vocabulary" of how Special Moves work in themselves and with each other. For example, rather than include the phrase "This move allows movement of 2 Ranges for a cost of 1 FS" on several Element descriptions, we just use the Keyword "Mobile." Keywords also sometimes affect how much an Element costs. In play, you will usually ignore Keywords.
Yes and no. In VF, I tended to play with Jackie, Pai, Sarah or Kage Maru...depending on my mood. However, that was on arcades. I've never played VF on anything else.If you are a competent Akira player, than I don't want to play you in VF. I'm a hack Sarah Bryant player who has mastered two moves.
What fighting game fan would need that explicitly explained?Your observations nicely demonstrate that the game rewards players for learning how their Special Moves interact with other kinds of characters, who may fight very differently. I tried to demonstrate this in a simple way in the upcoming Quickstart rules.
The three original books are only USD $25 on the Kickstarter.I think SW is a much better system for play since I love the goofy gonzo setting of Rifts but could never get into the rules system but the prices for the pdfs are a bit too rich for my blood at least with the current CAD exchange rate. Will have to wait for a sale or a Bundle.
Sounds great!If you are familiar with the Mobility Quality from 1st Edition, it has been expanded into 4 related Qualities to better distinguish between Fighters who are better at Jumping or Fighters who are especially fast grapplers or Fighters with fast ground movement. So you can even choose what being a "mobile fighter" means.
There's a challenge in playing Zangief?I wouldn't call King Big by the definition of the Quality, and he is definitely a Mobile Grappler.
Zangief *is* Big, but I also don't think he qualifies as a Mobile Grappler. Getting him into position is definitely one of the challenges of playing him.
I haven't played Street Fighter for over 20 years, but I've got some friends who would swear that there isn't any difficulty...For me there is!
More generally, I'd offer that pulling 270s is harder than throwing fireballs, especially when you have to get in close and have somewhat slower ground speed.
I hadn't played in at least ten years, when my son picked up one of my old SF games. He was just doing basic fighting, then I sat down and started busting out Fireballs and Dragon Punches. His mind was blown.
I'm in for all the newness, plus a few addons. Damn you SJG, I get paid too little to really be able to afford all this.
I'm going to addon another hardcopy if In the Labrynith. My copy isnt lasting from the rigors of play.
That's distressing. Is it the hardcover or softcover falling apart on you?
I've been intending to get a HC version.
So, the big question now is ... green and purple battlemat, or tan and red?
Tan and red. What kind of whacko would want green and purple?

That's unusual; you should contact SJG for a replacement. I'll bet they will be happy to do it.My hardcopy is falling apart. The binding isn't that great or I got a dud. Mine came packaged with a bent corner too.
