A proof of concept http web service providing frame data for Ultra Street Fighter 4 and Street Fighter V. My data is brought to you by the great ToolAssisted

Quick Summary (NOT a tl;dr): The 2 games above run at ~60 frames per second (fps). Each attack runs at some number of frames during a game. This service will yield you the number of frames for all moves given a character.

Read this for a detailed explanation

My reasons are many.

1. I want a programatic way to access frame data for the games that I :heart to play.
2. I want a way to expose myself to unused technolog(y||ies)
3. I want to apply the data in new and unique ways

1. Install node
2. Install npm
3. Install packages from package.json
4. Run npm start

After bootstrapping and starting the server, you can make http requests using common http utilities. Below is an example request with curl and assumes you started the server on port 3000.

curl http://localhost:3000/sfv/s2/ryu

So, let's say we run the curl command above. This is a snippet of what you got back:

  {
    "metadata": {
      "health" : "1000",
      "stun" : "1000"
    },
    "attacks": {
      "st_mp" : {
        "command": null,
        "damage": "60",
        "chip_damage": "10",
        "attack_level": "h",
        "stun": "100",
        "cancel_ability": "sp",
        "frames": {
          "startup": "5",
          "active": "3",
          "recovery": "10",
          "block_advantage": "1",
          "hit_advantage": "6",
          "counter_hit_advantage": "8",
          "counter_hit_damage": "8",
          "counter_hit_stun": "72",
          "knockdown_advantage": "120",
          "knockdown_recovery_advantage": null,
          "knockdown_recovery_back_advantage": null
        }
      },
      ...
    }
  }

There's 2 top level keys. metadata contains the health and stun values of the given character. attacks contain a collection of key-value pairs where the keys are abbreviated and non-abbreviated attack names. The values contain metadata specific to the attack. Most attack frame state names (startup,active,etc...) are spelled out, but certain values may be abbreviated. Below is a key for abbreviated values
