Visualizing Offensive and Defensive Tendencies in Fighting Games

Abstract

This paper proposes a prototype visualization interface designed to represent offensive and defensive tendencies in fighting games. A previous method visualizes offensive and defensive tendencies by independently charting characters’ forward/backward movement distances and annotating intermittent damage dealt. However, the previous method makes it difficult to grasp offensive and defensive tendencies as the match progresses. Therefore, this paper extends the previous method to visualize changes in characters’ movement distances, amount of cumulative damage dealt to the opponent character, and resource fluctuations as the match progresses.
