SFJenn v1.5a patch.
-=The Story So Far...=-
500 Years Ago...
The Demon Shang Tsung, banished from the Outworld by Shao Khan, took over
the tournament of Mortal Kombat, regularly held by Shaolin Monks. With
the aid of his pupil Goro, he took over the tournament, moving it to the
Island of Shang Tsung, somewhere in the South Pacific.
Defeated by a Shaolin Monk, Liu Kang, in the tournament which was to open
a portal from Earth to the Outworld, Shang Tsung returned to Shao Khan to
meet his fate. His mission to allow Khan to enter the Earth during the
final tournament had failed.
Facing execution, Shang Tsung formulated a second plan. By firstly
humiliating the original seven members of the last tournament and their
allies, Shao Khan would open a portal to Earth and stage a second
tournament. During this second tournament, a portal would be opened near
Chicago and Tsung would ressurect the wife of Shao Khan in the Earth realm.
With the death of Johnny Cage in the final round of fighting, Shao Khan had
won the tournament. With his new plan in action, Khan sends his personal
assassins Kitana and Mileena to scope out the strength of any possible
warriors the Earth God Raiden might wish to protect.
Using the portal to the Island of Shang Tsung, Kitana and Mileena
disperse and enter a new tournament...one they've not encountered
before. Destroying the warriors Dhalsim and E. Honda quietly, they enter
the tournament making Japan and India places of their own...

-=Frequently Asked Questions=-
Q1: Can I write to the authors?
A1: Yes you can! And here are the email of two of the authors. :) Comments,
suggestions, requests, or even a word from you would be appreciated!
Your letter will probably be the only reward we will ever get, so feel
free to write to us!
Derek Liu - http://syste.ms/mail.html
Brian Chan - chanav@sfu.ca
Jenn Dolari - jenn@dolari.net
Q2: When's the next version of SFJENN coming out, and what can we expect?
A2: Will there be another version? No. I've mentioned that SFJenn 2.0
would be out as early as 1994. It's 2006 as I write this. Doubt it'll
be anytime soon - but you never know.
Q3: Can you put in bonus rounds/joystick/mouse/GUS/PAS support?
A3: Unfortunately not, since we didn't originally program the game. However
you CAN use a keyboard emulated pad. I had an SNES Pad to PC coverter,
with some special software. Worked great. For DOSBox and Microsoft
Virtual Machine, try JoyToKey.
http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm
Q4: SFLIU runs too fast on my computer. Is there any way to slow it down?
A4: Turn off the turbo :) Go into OPTIONS and turn the speed down. A
Pentium 200 MMX will play it at a respectable speed on setting 4. Also
go into SETUP.EXE (always a good idea) and have it check the video speed
automatically.
Actually, that was one of the main complaints we had about SF2IBM V1.96 -
there was no longer a slight slowdown after a hit, This is not a problem
in SFJenn 1.5a. Go into Options and turn HITPAUSE up or down to fine tune
it.
Q5: SFLIU runs too slow on my computer. Is there any way to speed it up?
A5: Buy a Pentium :)
Q6: Why does Bison's Head Stomp miss? Why can't Vega air slam after
a wall jump? Why can't Chun Li/Vega jump off the walls? Why
does Blanka's roll hit multiple times? Why doesn't a jumping
jab last for the whole jump?
A6: In SF2IBM, the movement of each attack must be mapped out exactly.
There is no way to tell where the opponent is at that particular
time. Similarly, there is no way to detect where the player is
at that particular time, so wall jumping cannot be implemented.
Also related to this, there is no way to tell if a move has
hit the opponent or not. That is why Honda's torpedo can be
blocked multiple times, and why Blanka's roll can hit/be blocked
multiple times (Honda's torpedo knocks down). That is also why
jumping jab/short attacks cannot last for the whole jump - otherwise
they would start hitting multiple times (like the original versions
of SF2IBM).
Q7: Why does the computer sometimes start attacking the wrong way?
A7: That's because the computer is in the middle of a computer combo.
See Q6 for a more complete explanation of how SF2IBM works.
Q8: Why can't Ryu/Ken/Chun Li do Cyclone Kick/SBK in the air?
A8: SF2IBM has a number of problems regarding the ability to perform special
moves in the air. Firstly, it cannot detect where the ground is, or
where in the jump that the CK/SBK was called. Therefore, we cannot
program a proper CK/SBK without having Ken/Ryu/Chun Li "float" back to
earth, or disappear below the ground. Secondly, continual use of moves
in the air has the potential to hang the game by having Ken/Ryu/Chun Li
go higher and higher, off the screen. Thirdly if we did do moves in the
air, it wouldn't exactly match the arcade anyways. In HF, an aerial
CK/SBK has no ascending motion, while in SF2IBM it would. Also see Q6
for further details.
Q9: Can you give everyone Hyper colors?
A9: Graphics editing for SF2IBM is a huge pain in the butt. It would take
way too much effort to recapture every single frame of a character,
edit out the backgrounds, and match them to SF2IBM's palette.
Q10: What's the difference between Ryu and Ken, anyways?
A10: 1) Ryu's CK knocks down. Ken's CK will hit on the way up.
2) Ryu's FB recovery time and FB speed is faster.
3) Ryu has a slower DP.
4) In SSF2 mode, Ken's DP strong hits twice, fierce hits three times,
and sets you ablaze.
5) Ryu's cuter.
Q11: Why are the interruptible moves still able to be interrupted when I
haven't hit my opponent?
A11: SF2IBM interrupt feature makes no distinction between previously hitting
or missing your opponent. Besides, it is possible in the arcade to
interrupt without a previous hit (although it is nowhere near as easy
as SFJENN!)
Q12: Why was Terry and Andy distributed with past SFLIU versions?
A12: The original author substituted Terry and Andy for Balrog and
Vega in the original SF2IBM V1.96. SFLIU V2.00 included Balrog,
but not Vega. So Andy was used to fill Vega's place.
Q13: Who the hell is Terry and Andy, anyways?
A13: The Bogard brothers, from the Fatal Fury series.
Q14: I've looked into the KEY file and noticed that there are many moves
starting with a number followed by an "U", should I edit them so we can
use the move?
A14: Hey, those are for the computer only! :)
Q15: Why is the computer so stupid? The game isn't much of a challenge.
A15: SFJENN.EXE merely does normal moves and the special moves (specified in
the KEY file) somewhat randomly.
Q16: The Ryu opening SUCKS! How do I get rid of it?
A16: Go into OPTIONS and turn DEMO off.
Q17: Why isn't there charging built into the game?
A17: Actually, charging IS built into SF2IBM, but it doesn't add anything
to the gameplay. You cannot jump and charge, so Guile wouldn't be
able to do any combos. The charge time is too long, longer that
Guile's jump time, so Guile still wouldn't be able to do combos! :(
A single keystroke would erase the charge, so one cannot punch and
charge at the same time.
Note that charging is used on Balrog's level 3 TAP.
Q18: Why is the delay after Guile's Sonic Boom so long?
A18: Well, see the above for the charging aspect. Also, if the delay was
any shorter, then one would be able to do Sonic Boom/Sonic Boom/Sonic
Boom/Blade Kick as a combo. (Yikes!) Also, it would be too easy to
do a Sonic Boom/Blade Kick trap, much like Ken and Ryu's FB/DP trap.
Q19: How do I Cyclone Kick over a fireball? The game always makes me block.
A19: "Timing", in the arcade sense, is not needed to perform special moves in
SF2IBM. The game merely detects a series of keystrokes within a certain
time "window". If it matches a special move, then that special move is
performed. Try pressing "down", release, then press "back", release,
then finally hit a kick button. Ryu/Ken should still do a CK, despite
the fact that the keystrokes were not "consecutive". Of course, this
doesn't apply to Sonic Booms or Yoga Fires.
Q20: Why do some combos still redizzy?
A20: The internal dizzy meter works a bit differently than the arcade. When
dizzy in the arcade, one's dizzy meter should be set on empty to make a
re-dizzy extremely unlikely, if not impossible. In SFLIU, dizzy power
cannot be tuned-it is directly proportional to the damage of the move.
Besides, in SF2IBM, the dizzy meter is extremely crude. In SFLIU, the
"big" combos might redizzy, such as the Fierce/Fierce/DP combos.
However, there's not much we can do about that, since the dizzying power
of all attacks were already lowered as much as possible.
Q21: Why is it that if I throw a fireball close up, and my opponent blocks,
his blocking time is shorter than my fireball delay time? Then he
combos me back.
A21: In the arcade, different actions cause different blocking time. For
example, the "block stun" time of blocking a fireball is exactly the
same as the fireball delay. The block stun caused by a jab will be
shorter than the block stun caused by a fierce. However, in SF2IBM,
there is only one blocking time. We had to shorten it to allow
blocking a high attack immediately followed by a low attack.
Q22: Why can't I do moves if my opponent is holding down too many of his
keys?
A22: It's a hardware limitation in how many keystrokes a keyboard can send
at the same time.
Q23: Why doesn't the close range attacks work if my opponent is directly above
me?
A23: The .EXE only calls up the close range attacks when the opponent is on
the ground.
Q24: What happened to Bison's blue torpedo flame?
A24: There aren't enough hit reactions to implement that.
Q25: Why is Player 2 always green?
A25: The color choice for the second player is hard-coded into the EXE
for some strange reason.
Q26: Why didn't you put in more SSF2 characters, graphics, etc.?
A26: See Q9.
Q27: The music is too slow, why? (or I'm playing is DOS, and there's no sound!)
A27: You're playing under Windows 9X or XP. While this doesn't KILL the game
it can sound kinda funky. Best to play in Pure DOS, although DOSBox is
pretty good. But if you decide to play in Pure Dos make sure your
soundcard has DOS Drivers (good luck with that).
Q28: I keep getting an error about SFJenn not playing well, and that it
should play in DOS mode.
A28: See Q27.
Q29: Where is the energy bar?! Where are my Shadows?! WHERE ARE THEY! WHERE?!
A29: Turn on SHADOWS in the Options menu if your shadows dissapear. Turn on
SCBOARD to turn the energy bar on if it goes blank. you can also hit the
spacebar to get the energy bar back.
Q29: Why did I do this?
A29: Well, I'm crazy that's why. :) I had always wanted some kinda dream
tournament which would've been fun and I set my heart on making an
SF2IBM patch (The easiest game to mess with). Originally planned as a
Kitana only patch, I added Mileena after seeing just how easy it was to
pallete swap the characters!
The 1.5 was done simply to update the old XSF196 engine up to the newer
LIM198 engine, which has less bugs and actual features in it. The SFJenn
2.0 game I've been planning for a very long time is still in the works,
but frankly, I'm so lazy this was easier. ;)
Q30: Hey, my fonts look all funny!
A30: HOLY POTATOES SOMEONE IS STILL PLAYING THIS! The original program was
built in 1992 or 93, well before the world of Windows XP (heck, before
Windows 9X), and 3 digit Megs of Memory, and Gigs of HDD space and
whatnot. The fact that it plays at all anymore is pretty amazing. :)
Anyways, somewhere along the line something got upgraded that SFJenn
didn't like, and all the fonts went crazy. This is only a pain if you
want to get into the OPTIONS mode. I've included a screen shot of the
options page in OPTIONS.PNG. That should help you there.

SFLIU V2.00alpha -> SFLIU V2.00
=============================
To thank: Chan Chee Meng (*)
Stan Warman (**)
List of changes since SFLIU2.0à : (hope we got them all!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR BUG FIXES
===============
1. SF2196 has a bug where it is possible to slam a opponent that has fallen,
reeling back, getting up, or in block stun. Now is it not able to slam
an opponent that is lying down or getting up. This change does have its
side effects, such as Chun Li losing her Flipping Neck Kick when the
opponent is lying on the ground. But we felt that this change in gameplay
took more priority than the drawbacks. However, it is not possible
to fix slamming during reeling back or in block stun, so take it easy on
the ticking!
**2. The bug that caused the game to crash in an Andy vs. Andy or Terry vs.
Terry match has been fixed. Thanks to Stan Warman for this fix.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRAPHICS/SOUNDS
===============
IN GENERAL
1. Balrog is here!!!!
2. Edited FACEW: Winning faces, selection cursor, vs sign, countdown sign
3. Edited FACEX: Losing faces
4. Edited 4KING: Boss winning/losing faces, small/greyed faces
5. Edited SFACE: Small faces, greyed faces, plane, x mark.
**6. Terry and Andy now have electricity/yoga fire/torpedo hit frame, thanks
to Stan Warman.
**7. Got rid of that annoying "blip" in Zangief's standing pose. Thanks to
Stan Warman for this fix.
8. Captured fireball dissipation for all projectile characters.
9. Added/modified sound effects:
-Tiger
-Tiger Uppercut
-Sagat's slam
-Terry/Andy's attacks
-You win/lose
-Round x, Fight
RYU/KEN
1. Captured Knee Attack (Close Standing Forward)
E.HONDA
BLANKA
GUILE
1. Captured crouching fierce.
2. Captured first frame of Sonic Boom, new Sonic Boom frames.
3. Captured Hopping Knee.
CHUN LI
1. Captured Fireball.
2. Captured Flip Kick frame.
3. Captured Flipping Back Kick frame.
ZANGIEF
DHALSIM
1. Captured crouching fierce.
SAGAT
1. Captured Tiger Fireballs.
2. Captured Tiger Knee.
3. Captured standing Jab.
4. Captured standing forward
M.BISON
1. Captured slide kick delay.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GAMEPLAY
========
IN GENERAL
1. When characters are "overlapping", (which doesn't happen in the arcade
anyways, just in SF2IBM) the hit ranges were edited so the following will
now hit:
-Ken/Ryu's crouching fierce
-E. Honda's crouching fierce
-Zangief's crouching kicks, standing punches
-M. Bison's standing kicks
-Guile's standing strong, fierce
-Sagat's standing kicks
This should take care of all the annoying times you've tried to hit an
opponent but missed.

SFLIU 1.1 -> SFLIU V2.0alpha
============================
-Updated for 1.96 compatibility
-Character's movements, attacks, special moves, reeling back frames, hit
damages, hit ranges, winning poses, losing poses all edited
-Attacks modified to hit only once
-Attacks modified to be blockable (Many attacks in the original SF2IBM 1.96
were unblockable)
-Combos are still possible for the 10 SF2 characters, but on a 486, they are
hard to execute, if not impossible, due to the game not slowing down when
one gets hit. Hopefully they will be easier to execute in the final release.
-Computer combos are unchanged for the original 8 characters, the new
characters do not have computer combos yet.
BALROG/TERRY BOGARD
-Key sequences for special attacks/slams changed to mirror FF more closely
-Dash backwards now invincible
-Losing (lying on floor) pose now does not move
-Exploding Power Wave now does not disappear when it hits
-Burning Knuckle now knocks down

-See "In General"
SFLIU V1.0 -> SFLIU V1.1
========================
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS:
-Getting up is now interruptable (eg. you can now "break out" into DP while
getting up. This should stop people standing by you waiting for you to get
up so they can slam you. Just do a DP motion as you get up)
-EXE changed so the score bar doesn't overflow when the score turns negative
(Thanks to Stan Warman for this one!)
-Honda's hair in losing pose fixed (Thanks to Duc Tran for this one!)
-HYPCHAR.SF2 now has correct (metric!!!) stats
-New music from SF2IBM 1.96!
-Getting hit by electricity/fire, falling dizzy subroutines adjusted to
match more closely with the arcade
-Can now air slam with neutral direction. Air slam with up removed. This
change was implemented since unlike the arcade, one usually does not hold
onto a direction when jumping.
-Blanka's jumping fierce, Dhalsim and Zangief jumping attacks no longer hit
below the ground
-Some computer combos upgraded in strength
RYU/KEN
-Dragon Punch now hits Dhalsim's slide
-Ken now has "instant" DP (Do a crouching fierce/DP and you'll see what I
mean)
-Added standing (close) forward attack
-End of crouching fierce was accidentally made interruptable. Fixed.
-Standing (far) fierce was accidentally made interruptable. Fixed.
-Ken's DP descending speed rewritten
-Vertical range of CK increased

go through projectiles

out of electricity)

ZANGIEF
-SPD changed to Up + Fierce (a lot of people were complaining that the SPD
was too hard to do. We discovered that the difficulty was not due to the
diagonal direction required, but rather due to a bug in the extended-throw
range flag the SPD was given. Fixing the bug required the keystrokes change
to just Up + Fierce. In any case, it should be a lot easier to do a SPD now)
DHALSIM
-Walking/jumping speed adjusted to HF speeds
-Crouching fierce can no longer go under a Sonic Boom
-"Dead spot" for Yoga Fire decreased

=============================
In General:
-Faster gameplay!
-Hyper Fighting moves added! ( Blanka's vertical roll, etc.)
-Computer can perform combos and does "pattern" moves like the arcade
(e.g. Ken does 3 DP's in a row, jumps back and forth, Fierce/DP combo)
Pattern moves inflict massive damage, making the computer a real threat!
-Intense .VOC's! Recorded from Capcom SF2 soundtrack! Country Names! Sound
effects for punches/kicks!
-True interruptible moves! Try your favorite combos! (Fierce/Fierce/DP!)
(Fierce/Fierce/Blade kick!) All combos in the arcade are possible here!
-Attacks only hit once (no more quadruple jumping shorts, double fierces)
-Damage index lowered (no more redizzies like Fierce/Double DP until death!)
-Shortened block recovery time (this makes it possible to block high attack
followed by low attack)
-Dizzy period varies with character (e.g. Zangief shorter, Chun Li longer)
-Increased delay time after "charge" type attacks, as no charging is needed
in SF2IBM
-Characters jump higher/longer/further when jumping backwards
-Fixed everybody's winning/losing pose
-Many other fixes regarding things like knockdowns, hit ranges of moves,
adjustment of movements during attacks, interruptability of moves, jumping
and walking speed, special move speed and power or all characters, slide
back time after getting hit, etc.
-In general, a much more fun SF2IBM! Human vs. Human is much more playable,
and even Human vs. Computer is fun! (The computer beats me if I'm not
careful!)
