At the 2012 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships, Shields lost to Marshall, the only loss of her amateur and pro boxing career. Never one to hold back, Shields is ready to end any debate over who the better fighter is.
Marshall made her pro debut in 2017. Marshall won the WBO middleweight title in October 2020 and has defended it three times. Her last fight was a knockout win over Femke Hermans in April. Marshall is ready to add knockout No. 11 to her record.
With a ruling expected soon to affirm a broader jurisdiction for Cherokee Nation courts, the tribe has already begun a massive expansion of its criminal justice system, Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. told the Tulsa World.
The terms listed below are used when referring to versus fighting games. In this context, moving the control stick forward refers to moving it in the direction that the character is facing, and moving it back refers to moving it in the opposite direction.
Many specific terms that are being searched for may be grouped into broader/similar categories to allow for a more connected & universalized understanding of key mechanics and/or concepts across multiple fighting games. Certain keywords are highlighted near the top of their corresponding sections in bold or bold italics to help users distinguish between more important fundamental terminology.
A type of blocking scheme in a fighting game where once a player blocks a string of hits that combo together, letting go of the block/back button will not make them stop blocking until the hits no longer combo or otherwise give an opening for retaliation. This allows players a bigger window to input a reversal move and/or guard cancel. Vampire Savior (as well as other games in the Darkstalkers franchise) can serve as a prime example of fighting games that have absolute blocking.
This ability is featured in some fighting games as either a viable option for amateur players to deal substantial damage without the need to learn inputs or combo routes and timing, and/or a safe & convenient execution at higher-level play. However, since auto-combos are usually limited to a single type of first hit and execution, they may be easy to predict and punish, and are therefore commonly discouraged among higher-skill players. Another reason for their lack of representation within skilled competitive play can also be inferior damage compared to manual and learned "natural" combos.
A built-in feature in various fighting game characters that originates from the older Street Fighter series. Moves with autoguard have a specific set of animation frames, during which any move that comes in contact with the defending character is automatically blocked; this is different from regular move invincibility in that autoguard usually nullifies any move that comes in contact with it during its duration by blocking it and thus rendering it harmless (unless the blocked move chips the opponent), while moves with invincibility might run out of invincibility while the attack is still able to connect with the defender, causing the character to get hit regardless.
French-Bread fighting games such as the Melty Blood series & Under Night In-Birth have also implemented a reverse-chain system, known as a reverse beat, which allows players to also chain attacks from heavy to light, as well as other unique patterns (i.e. L > H > M, H > L > M, etc.)
A clone character is a character whose general moveset is extremely similar (if not identical) to that of another character, despite a potential difference in appearance. In the original Street Fighter, for example, Ken and Ryu were clones. It is not uncommon for clone characters to gain distinct difference with later versions of the game, as well as over the subsequent installments of a series (e.g. Ralf and Clark from KOF, Yun and Yang from Street Fighter III: New Generation, Fox and Falco or Marth and Roy from Super Smash Bros. Melee). A clone differs from a palette swap in that a different actual sprite or model is usually used, but the movelist is still the same; the most obvious difference is that the clone takes up an individual spot on the roster and has a different name. Palette swaps are simply differently-colored sprites (or alternate costumes in rarer cases) for 2D fighting game characters that may still have unique movesets which differ distinctively from each other (i.e. the various ninja & cyborg characters in the early Mortal Kombat era).
Counterpicking is when the player picks a character with a statistical matchup advantage over that of the opponent's chosen character. Some people tend to look down upon this practice because it is easy to argue that the player has an unfair advantage over their character, whilst counterarguments claim this is a strategic choice and a matter of opinion, as well as skill among both players. Despite its obvious advantageous nature, counterpicking is usually allowed in tournaments, provided the counterpick character themselves is not competitively banned due to being actually overpowered or broken by default. However, most fighting games online (besides NRS games) force the player to pre-select a character before actually going online, so there is no character select & thusly counterpicking is not as prevalent in online matches.
Damage scaling refers to the system programmed into the vast majority of fighting games, by which attacks may sometimes inflict less (or occasionally more, as seen in Guilty Gear) than normal damage due to any number of reasons. Damage scaling can be a result of the number of hits in a combo (many games; numerous), the specific move used to start a combo (Guilty Gear or Third Strike), the amount of damage that has been inflicted so far in the combo, number of uses of a certain attack, or other factors. Damage scaling may also be referred to as proration.
In most of these cases, damage scaling's main purpose is to reduce to overall potency of combos by reducing the damage of individual attacks and moves as the combo progresses, while not negating damage completely. This severely hinders the ability of a player to perform infinites or TODs, and is a standard of balancing in fighting games as a result.
A tool or mechanic in a fighting game that allows a player to defend themselves beyond the conventions of normal blocking, sometimes resetting the neutral or even reversing the momentum of the match [somewhat offensively].
Starting from The King of Fighters 2003, SNK included another new type of move: Leader Desperation Move (LDM), which is virtually identical to SDM. However, unlike SDM which can be used by any character in previous The King of Fighters games, only one out of three characters chosen in the team can use LDM (this character is called the leader). Since the bosses usually do not form teams, they are already capable of doing LDMs as well.
While not explicitly described by this term (as DM was more of an esoteric term used all but exclusively within SNK games), many fighting games have introduced super moves (and/or special augmented properties) that are only granted to players after they have fallen below a certain level of health; these supers could be affectionately referred to across multiple fighting game communities as desperation supers. One modern mechanic called Fatal Blow, which was newly introduced in Mortal Kombat 11 (replacing the X-Ray super move from its previous titles), could also be considered a desperation super since it is a super move that is only available to the player when they are below 30% health.Fatal Blows are also only available to each player once per match; however, they have a cooldown period in which the Fatal Blow will return if the initial attempt whiffs or is blocked, allowing it to potentially be saved and re-attempted in the next round.
To download one's opponent is to analyze the mannerisms, reads, habits, & overall playstyle of said player in order to gain the advantage over them. Sometimes, a player will dedicate an entire round to testing and observing their opponent without actually trying to win, using the rounds ahead to capitalize on that time they used to gain information on said opponent.
A type of match where two teams of characters are fighting each other, all of whom are fighting at the same time. The first instance of this was in the original Fatal Fury, however the term is derived from the Street Fighter Alpha series, where two characters fight a single (usually stronger) character at the same time.
Footsies refers to the mid-range ground-based aspect of fighting game strategy. It refers to a situation where both players are outside of attack/combo range and are attempting to attack each other with mid- or long-range, generally safe attacks (e.g. pokes). The ultimate goal is to control the flow of the match, bait the opponent into committing errors, and attempt to punish every action.
Behind the aesthetic of the sprites in fighting games lies the actual coding. This includes hit boxes or hitboxes. Hit boxes are named as such because the windows for the virtual space that comprise individual attacks, as well as zones of player collision detecting a hit are actually boxes. For instance, when a character performs a short forward jab, the actual attacking zone is a short rectangle in the approximate location of that character's arm. When one instead performs a low sweeping kick, the hitbox would be a skinny, low and long to the ground rectangle. The player's themselves have hitboxes. For an attack to hit, it has to make contact with the opponent's hurtbox. It is noteworthy that performing any attack (or motion) changes your character's hitbox. Hitbox data is another powerful study tool in addition to frame data. Hitbox data shows visual images depicting the hit boxes of individual attacks, as well as how a character's hurtbox is affected by a particular attack. 2ff7e9595c
