My second thread on kirupa! Thought it was about time for a new one!
I’d like everyone to get something from this tute, not just people making fighting games. Although this will not be aimed directly at people starting out using flash, I’m hoping that they will get something out of this.
I’ve tried to make my flas sort of OOP, being that it should be easily adjust for you’re game, ie just change a few variables, animations and it should work out. But unfortunately every game is different (I hope!) so some things may need to be altered, but if you understand it all, it shouldn’t
be a problem!
I’d like this to be a more community based tute, rather than making an ‘official’ one on the main site only because I’m constantly changing my mind etc, and I would probably ever get around to finishing it! At least here something will be done. I’ve noticed the trend of tutes on this forum is that they get half done then washed away in the sands of time…(sorry!), like Marz’s two tutes, no offence of course to Marz, I know you’re very busy and have a life! But hopefully I’ll be able to complete as much of my
objectives as possible.
Because I’m using sprites I’ve got from a game (Little Fighter 2) some files will be bigger than can fit on the kirupa forums, so I’ll have to host on a different site, and because I only have free hostings it might not be too reliable, but should hopefully not be a problem. I mean all the flas will only be over the limit by a few kb, so it should be alright! I’m also going to base this on the game Little Fighter, only because I have it already and I think it’s pretty cool, and has everything you need in a fighter like this.

I’d just like to have these so this thread won’t turn out like the RPG thread, 7 pages of posts but only 1 (post not page!) with the tutorial! Feel free to post if you have a question about what I’ve done, or would like something explained clearer, but for any specific question with a game you’re making,
please make a new thread and ask it there and i’ll see if i can fix it. Also feel free to post any suggestions or other comments you have on here,I would like any feedback! And of course any bugs you can find, I’m a shocking speller!
I’m posting all files in MX format, just because I don’t see any real benefit doing it in 04 format. And it will also increase the amount of people that can use this tute. I’d like it if everyone else contributing could do this as well.

I would like your input for these suggestions, they are sort of in the order they’ll be added, unless I find that it’s easier doing them a different way, anyway here they are:
- jumping
- scrolling (including limits, walls etc)
- combos
- items (baseball bats, crates etc)
- 2 Human Players (ie damage, health, game over)
- AI <-- if i can manage!!!
