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
It has been some time since word gotten out that Ryu, the wandering warrior, had defeated Gill, leader of the Illuminati, and the Illuminati fell from grace. In the wake of it, peace has come to the world.

In time, a man known as Cyrus Gaudeamus has sent invitations out to the world's greatest martial artists, wanting to bring them to the man-made island of Shad to hold a tournament he dubbed "The Team Slugfest".

As a prominent fighter himself, Gaudeamus seeks to have them all come together to face one another. However, in the shadows, someone else is using this gathering on Shad for their own goals, in the hopes to achieve what they desire. However, what he is unaware of is that others plan to be able to use this tournament to their advantage, and that the fighters will be in for quite a series of surprises as the tournament begins.

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. Each character has their wide array of moves to use in their arsenal to fight, as well as help from their partners to be able to turn the tide.

Many elements of Street Fighter: The Team Slugfest stem from elements of Street Fighter III and its upgrades as well as Street Fighter Alpha 3, the Street Fighter IV games, Street Fighter V, and Street Fighter X Tekken, as well as other games like The King of Fighters (particularly XI and XIV), Skullgirls, and the Marvel vs. Capcom series. In all purposes, it plays like old school Street Fighter with elements of the new games and touches of the Versus series and The King of Fighters.

In terms of general display, each player has 3 life bars for each of the characters on their team as well as a Stun Meter shown around the character's portrait, and a Guard Meter under their life bar near the timer. The players also have a Super Meter.

The Stun Meter works as it had in Street Fighter III and its various updates as well as Street Fighter V and Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, where if it fills, your character will become dizzy, and thus able to take a free hit or even be left open for a combo.

The Guard Meter returns from Street Fighter Alpha 3, with some differences. Like in Alpha 3, the Guard Meter depletes each time a character blocks a hit. Eventually, it will empty, leading to a Guard Crush which leaves the character open for an attack. Over time, the Guard Meter will refill, but it doesn't shrink each time a Guard Crush occurs, but it will also encourage less blocking when battle occurs.

The Super Meter takes on a new form from its appearance in Street Fighter Alpha 3 as well as Street Fighter III and its updates. Now, it stores up to 6 levels, and as in the past, it is used for Super Arts and Critical Arts as well as EX Special Moves in addition to Tag Counters that are used with your team in many ways. Good strategy comes from using the Super Meter properly.

Rather than selecting your character's Super Art as you select them like in the Street Fighter III games or having just 1 Super Combo/Super Art as in Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V, The Team Slugfest goes back to each character having 2 or more Super Arts already in access for them to use in the battle itself in addition to a Critical Art, with the Critical Art taking a role similar to Street Fighter IV 's Ultra Combos, while sharing the same name as Street Fighter V 's Critical Arts.
