Let's Fight! 3D Fight System

THIS IS IN DEVELOPMENT

The system is demonstrated through a fighting game. This contains:
• Arena (gameplay area)
• Menu/UI
• Implementation of Let’s Fight! as the primary mechanic in the game.

The orientation-based input is based off three things.

• The rotational yaw, where the player is looking, Split into top, mid, low. 1D
• The directional input they are pressing, split into forward, backward, left, right and neutral (for no direction input). 2D
• The action. Attack, move, block, etc.

This is combined to produce one of 12 versions of that action producing a 3D result in the direction they are indicating. Each of these 12 move slots can be customized with a specific move to create new characters.

• F = Front
• L/R = Left or Right (usually a mirrored action to make either choice viable)
• B = Backward

Some techniques have the effect of charging the character’s orientation

Actions:

• Attack
• Block
• Interact
• Jump
• Movement (or lack thereof)
• Cancel

States a character can be in:

• Neutral state (where a character normally battles)
• Sprinting State (currently in motion, has a limited set of actions and limited direction)
• Air State (in air. Has a unique set of actions to take)
• Grounded State (on the ground. Has a unique set of actions to take.)
• Block State (Will automatically block an attacks)
• Parry State (Will block based on conditions and retailiate)
• Grabbed State (You are in this state when held by something else)
• Holding State (You are in this state when holding something else)
• Reeling State (Someone who is stunned and cannot take an action)
• Dodge State (Character has invincibility frames)
• Cancel State (A transition state for self-interrupted actions)
