1. ^ abIn the PS2 port of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike that crowded-street/3s-decomp rebuilds, the Super Art gauge fills from _add_arts_gauge, a table by character, by the move's gauge points (the top four bits of its attack data's piyo byte), and by one of four columns. The attacker gains column 0 when a move starts a new attack, whether it hits or not (unless bit 0x20000000 of its spmv_ng_flag2 is set), and column 1 when it's guarded (set_guard_status, for an attack with any hit stop). When damage is applied (subtract_dm_vital, which the parry statuses also run), a nonzero column 2 gives the defender a third of the table value as read. The attacker then gets the value plus a difficulty bonus, asagh_zuru (−2 to 4), if the attacker is CPU-controlled (operator 0), at least 1, cut to (32 − 2(n − 1))/32 for the defender's nth hit of a combo (at least 1/32), and raised by 120/100 for a CPU attacker when Break_Into_CPU is 1; so the combo cut reaches only the attacker's share. Column 3 goes to the defender when its parry status starts, plus asagh_zuru if the parrying player is CPU-controlled, and nothing while sa_stop_check() is nonzero. add_super_arts_gauge multiplies each gain by 120/100, by 150/100 more when Battle_Number is 0, and by an Extra Option factor of 0, 24, 32, or 44 over 32 (0 stops all gain), and adds nothing while the stocks are full, in a bonus game, or in a few other states the function tests. Past gauge_len the gauge adds a stock and keeps the rest, and at store_max stocks it stops. Each Super Art's gauge_len and store_max come from the super_arts_data table, or from super_arts_DATA when cmd_sel or no_sa is set for that side, shifted by Extra Options and held to 64 to 128 and 1 to 9.Codecrowded-street/3s-decomprevised
