Street Fighter 6 Spead Sheet

Street Fighter 6 Win streak Bonus   Today I made a spread sheet to record information about the game Street Fighter 6. I was curious to see if a player was able to win every match how long it would take them to climb the rank latter. There are 8 ranks in Street Fighter 6 Rookie, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Master. The first couple of ranks up to Gold have win streak bonuses to make it easier for good players to climb. However, the later ranks Platinum, Diamond, and Master get rid of the win streak thus making it take longer to rank up.    I calculated this by first finding the league points need to get to each rank. Since each rank is divided up into 5 stars, I recorded the points needed for star 1 to star 5, for example Gold 1 (1 star) - Gold 5 (5 stars).  This was not to difficult to find since many people in the community wanted to estimate how long it would take them to get to Master rank. The other parameter I needed to was the win streak multiplier. I found

Found Character #6 Glide -Eye

-
Image
  Inspiration  Today I decided to use this oriental design I found in the Stout building for my character. When I originally saw this, I thought that it looked like a kite thus making me think of how I could make a kite into a game enemy.  Character Lore/Theory  Glide Eye is a common enemy that can be found within an open world rpg. It will shoot blazing laser beams at the protagonist and attempt to slice them with their sharp robotic claws. Despite their robotic claws and metallic make up it is unknown if Glide Eye's are actually robots or biological cyborgs. They are unable to communicate however they do have the capacitary to understand humans and exhibit a plethora of strange behaviors. When something enters the confines of their territory, they strike without mercy.  Psychology: Glide eyes have a history of learning and adapting to the world around them. Some think that this may be the reason for their mysterious behaviors. Glide Eyes study the strategies of the protagonist an

Found Character #5 Narakagana

Image
Inspiration Today I decided to use a manhole cover as inspiration for my character. When I first saw this  the  simplistic  pattern made me think of earrings or some form of jewelry.  While thinking of how to make this creature uncanny I decided that human hands were the best way to go about doing this because it's difficult to make those fit naturally on to any creature. Character lore/Theory  These creatures were once known as followers of the Hindu God Ganesha however after falling victim to greed they became corrupted and devoid of emotions they once had not only distancing themselves from the real Ganesha but creating an entirely new god out of Ganesha's image. Narakagana are found in the Astral crossroads. They travel in groups similar to that of a pilgrimage searching for the distorted vison of Ganesha that dwells in their minds. Narakagana are very agile using their limbs to leap across and climb long distances in a matter of seconds. These beings attack with advanced s

Found Character #4 Zukugallu the Feathered Fury

Image
  Inspiration  Today I decided to develop a system to find my character. After taking 3 pictures of clouds while walking across campus. After that I sketched all of them onto a sheet of paper, merging different lines to get new shapes.  Once I finished doing that, I discovered two characters immediately. One was shaped like a dog while the other had a bird like outline. I eventually decided to go with the bird.  Sketches  Zukugallu takes inspiration from the Mesopotamian god Quetzalcotal. its design is a cross between a tropical bird and a dragon. Its wings are vibrant like macaw appearing a variety of colors usually shades of red.   Zukugallu is known to breathe fire and command large tornados at will. During this boss fight Zukugallu will use a variety of wind-based attacks and begin using fire if its health is low enough. The player can only battle Zukugallu at the Sky bound Sanctum during sun rise. This fight can be initiated by using the Sunwing Sigil at the temple's altar. Th

Found Character #3 Oyashio

Oyashio    Inspiration for my character  While walking to the library I stumbled across this odd structure next to Roberts Hall.  On closer inspection I noticed that the top part of this structure had something that looked like a head. The 2 loops also looked similar to ears or horns which gave me an idea for a possible NPC.  Character traits/Theory  The Oyashio are dragon like creatures commonly found in riverbeds, streams, and hot springs.  These creatures are peaceful towards humans with their diet consisting mostly of grapes and fish. Furthermore, due to their ability to communicate and establish relations with humans they were able to facilitate hot springs that welcome Oyashio and humans alike. Oyashio are good at heart always looking to help which makes it nearly impossible to dislike them. Many of them are blacksmiths and shopkeepers sometimes making their way into human society.  Changes to the Character Troupe One-way Oyashio differs from standard NPCs is through their vast k

Found Character #2 Abzu Champions

-
Image
Inspiration for my character  This is a lamp I found right outside the Com building.  When looking at the top part of the lamp I noticed that it looked similar to the horns found on a ram. The slight curve to the right and the twirl in the middle made me consider the possibilities of what creatures I could add it to. Character traits/Theory  Abzu champions are a warrior race of dragons with ram horns. They value honor and war, often competing of territory. After becoming an adult, a coming-of-age ceremony is held where they receive the challenger's scarf to as proof, they are now an official warrior. As a warrior they must vow to never interrupt established duels.                                                                                        Theory Gameplay                                                                       During the game Abzu Champions will be enemy characters found in the underwater caves known as the Abzu depths.

Found Character #1 - Amaterasu

                                                            Found Character #1 8/25/2023                                                                             Inspiration for my character  This storm drain found behind Cottrell featured a series of unique patterns that enticed me to look deeper into it.  At first started drawing the different circles on paper to see if I could make anything out of it. I eventually noticed that some of the circles featured a humanoid like torso that I could work with. Religious Concept  Behind the torso I noticed a ring which gave me the idea to make my character a deity of some sort. Furthermore, there are many examples of God-like beings in Japanese mythology that have symbolic rings them like Asura and Raijin. With this in the back of my mind and the boiling sun on the back of my neck I finally decided what character I should make. Thunder God Raijin Asura  I found that drawing my own take on Amaterasu, the Shinto goddess of the sun, was a tad
