Basic understanding of fighting offense: uma proposta para treinamento de habilidades em jogos de luta

Abstract

Electronic games are responsible for establishing a new category of cultural movements. An example of this are the fighting games and their consolidation as a competitive modality, which gained many fans and with televised events for millions of spectators. The traditional, physical gaming environments of arcades and gameplay houses gave way to social networks, forming new bonds between players and enthusiasts, which has also changed the way in which information about games is discovered, conveyed, and shared among the members of that community. The genre of fighting games stands out for the use of commands in real-time in a strategic battle where competitors establish risk and benefit. However, the ability to execute combinations of movements is a basic skill for the player to be competitive. Thus, the present work reports the development of a tool entitled Basic Understanding of Fighting Offense (BUFO) as a proposal for skill training in fighting games. This choice is due to the fact that fighting games are complex to implement, but the offensive aspect can be seen as an intersection between most titles, in the hope that the tool can help most players. That said, this report aims to describe the technical choices and implementation steps of the BUFO prototype.
