Street Fighter The Team Slugfest

Street Fighter: The Team Slugfest is a 2.5D team-based fighting game running off Unreal Engine 4 with many of the characters of "Street Fighter" appearing in teams of 3 fighters against one another, in a manner similar to The King of Fighters, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Skullgirls, but with more of the classic Street Fighter engine.

Story
Some time has passed since the mysterious organization known as the Illuminati had been scattered. In the wake of those events, a relative calm had come across the world, but calm does not often remain for too long.

Now, word has spread across the world to fighters all over that a new tournament is set to begin on the mysterious man-made island of Shad, developed in the Pacific and full of many cultures. This tournament has been considered unique.

This tournament has been called "The Team Slugfest", with special rules in place, stating that battles will be held across the island of Shad and that it will require fighters to be part of teams of 3.

"The Team Slugfest is designed in order to test the abilities of warriors that work together. In order to see who the strongest team among all of you who compete, we will need to see teamwork, confidence, skill, and the ability to adapt to any situations. That is what the essence of a warrior is! Please come to my island and show me this skill!"

These words were spoken in a press conference with Cyrus Gaudeamus, a billionaire who was known for being the head of the famous and ever-growing Gaudeamus Corporation, as he had revealed he was the tournament master for the Team Slugfest.

But what did he mean by his words? What is the secret meaning? Could there be something menacing in the midst of this tournament? Fighters flock to Shad to compete in the Team Slugfest, and to prove their worth! But who will succeed in the 3-man team system, or who will fall short?

Gameplay
Street Fighter: The Team Slugfest is a fighting game that has you selecting 3 characters to go up against teams of 3 other characters in order to come out on top. In battle, you will use your team's various Command Moves, Special Moves, Super Arts, and more in order to win! However, victory isn't achieved by working alone. You can utilize your team's various skills and assist moves to be able to turn the tide as well as call them in to back you up if you need a breather. You also have a 5-level Super Meter to use EX Special Moves as well as Super Arts, your current point character's Critical Art, and Team Counters.

Remember, using your team wisely is the key to victory. If you lose all of your characters, or your team has the least total health at the end of the time limit (if active), you will lose the match. However, if you can beat your opponent's team or have the most total health at the end of the time limit, you win!

Street Fighter: The Team Slugfest combines elements of various Street Fighter games as well as other games of the genre with similar gameplay, with all kinds of combos and possibilities with your team if used right. Good luck and come out swinging!

Characters
Each character is divided into teams of 3 fighters, with each team having their own stories and reasons for being invited into the Team Slugfest. Many are classic Street Fighter characters, even some having not been seen in a long time, and others being new challengers. Each has their own set of throws, command moves, special moves, Super Arts, and Critical Arts to let them stand out.

Super Arts require your current point character to have a Super Meter at Level 1 or higher, while Critical Arts need the Super Meter to be at Level 3 or higher before they can be executed, but they compensate with power.
