***** THIS APPLICATION FOR ANDROID AND iOS DEVICES IS NOW FREE OF CHARGE SO GO DOWNLOAD IT AND PLEASE RATE IT GOOD IF YOU ENJOY IT!! *****
First of all I just want to say that I asked SRK staff if this was okay to post on the forums and he said it was okay, so that I’m not just spamming crap w/out approval.
So the past 2 weeks I have been working on an app for the iPhone that is a strategy guide to have in the palm of your hands. The best part about it is that once you have it, there is absolutely no network connection required. All of the data is contained in the app. So it will work if you are in someones basement playing at a tourney in a hotel w/crappy reception, etc.
I finished it last Thursday and submitted it to the iTunes store. For now, I left out Frame Data and Move Data, but they are going to be added and completely free upgrade. I left it out for the time being so I could work on the Android port of the app before I gathered that data, since it is going to take some time.
The past few days I started my Android version and I actually ported it quicker than I thought, and it went live last night. So for now, the Android version is the only live version, but the iPhone one will be available probably in about 2 days. I will update this with the link when it is available. Below is the information.

As some of you may know, I wrote a similar app for SSF4, linked below
http://shoryuken.com/f315/edit-12-16-2010-ssf4-guide-v1-3-live-iphone--now-android--237478/
That was my first mobile app, and I learned a lot from some mistakes I made prior, so this one feels a lot more polished than the SSF4 one, and looks a lot nicer IMO. I took a bit of the feedback I received from the SSF4 app and incorporated that into this one, including the most wanted feature by far … COMBOS!
While talking about the looks of the new app, I want to give a shoutout to my buddy who is into the fighting scene as well, Avalon for all of his hard work he did with the graphics. He tweaked em and did hi-res versions to make it look tons nicer than the SSF4 app. And while on that note, ALL GRAPHICS ARE 100% USER MADE, NO GRAPHICS OR IMAGES WERE TAKEN FROM MARVEL OR CAPCOM!
So now onto the app…
Included in v1.0 Right now, for all 36 characters, is the following:
- Vitals, including health, combo type, assists, and command attacks.
- Special Moves
- Hyper Moves
- Combos, 7 per character, from beginner to advanced
- Notes, where you can store notes about the character on a per-character basis…
I have place holders for the Frame Data and Move Data sections for the time being, and it gives you a notice saying they will be available in v1.1.
I also have place holder spots for Jill and Shuma-Gorath, who will be updated in the app FOR FREE once they are available from the DLC March 15th.
I’m going to be checking this thread and using this kind of as the “official” bug list and stuff like that, so if you download it and find any issues with it please feel free to let me know in this thread. I already know of some bugs, and will keep a tally of them at the bottom of this post and update it as ones come through, and fix them. If there are BOTH PLATFORM bugs I’m going to be fixing them at the same time to keep the apps in sync.
If you purchase this app and enjoy it please rate it high and leave a good review so people know it is useful!
Thanks a bunch and enjoy!
