==Some articles created by me==
'''''Street Fighter: The Movie''''' is a {{vgy|1995}} [[fighting game|head-to-head fighting game]] released as a [[arcade game|coin-operated arcade game]]. The game is based on the [[1994 in film|1994]] live-action ''[[Street Fighter (film)|Street Fighter]]'' movie and uses digitized images of the film{{'}}s cast posing as the characters in the game. While a home video game also titled [[Street Fighter: The Movie (home video game)|''Street Fighter: The Movie'']] was released for the [[PlayStation]] and [[Sega Saturn]], it is not a port but a separately produced game based on the same premise. The arcade version was developed by Chicago-based [[Incredible Technologies]] and distributed to the arcades by [[Capcom]].

==Gameplay==
[[Image:AC SF Movie Gameplay.png|thumb|left|Ryu faces Akuma.]]
The arcade version of ''Street Fighter: The Movie'' differs from the previous ''[[Street Fighter II]]'' games in several ways. The game gives a greater emphasis towards air combos or "juggling" than previous games: the player can continuously attack their opponent while they're falling in the air with a series of attacks. Additionally, players can cancel any Special Move while performing it into another Special Move. This can even be done with projectile attacks.


====Internationals====
Many of the returning ''Street Fighter'' characters feature new Special Moves exclusive to the game, such as [[M. Bison|Bison]]{{'}}s "Electric Arc" and [[Guile (Street Fighter)|Guile]]{{'}}s "Handcuff" (a Special Move based on a glitch in the original ''Street Fighter II''). Characters such as [[Zangief]] and [[Balrog (Street Fighter)|Balrog]] now have the ability to deflect projectile attacks back to their opponent. Many of these new Special Moves require for the player to hold down a specific attack button, input a directional-based command on the lever and then release the button.

The method for grappling attacks was reversed for the game: perform the throw command while holding the joystick towards an opponent will throw the opponent to the opposite direction and vice versa. Player has the option of inputting a specific to "escape" a throw with no damage or perform a "counter throw". However, a character can counterattack a "counter throw" by performing a "reverse", while a reversing a counter throw can ultimately be countered with a "slam master" technique.


====Interstate====
Other techniques exclusive to this game includes "interrupt moves", which are perform after blocking an opponent's attacks, and "comeback moves", which are special moves that can only be used when the player{{'}}s life gauge is on the "danger" level. The Super Combo gauge from ''[[Super Street Fighter II Turbo]]'' is featured in the game. Most of the characters in the game (with only a few exceptions) has at least two Super Combo moves: one which leaves a trail of blue shadows and another which leaves a trail of red shadows. In addition to Super Combos, player can also perform a "Regeneration" move when their Super Combo gauge is full and restore a portion of their vitality gauge.

==Characters==
The game's cast is contains most of the characters from ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'', with the exception of [[Fei-Long]], [[Dee Jay]], [[T. Hawk]], [[Blanka]] and [[Dhalsim]]. [[Akuma (Street Fighter)|Akuma]], who was a hidden character in ''Super Turbo'' and ''[[X-Men: Children of the Atom]]'', was a regular character for the first time in any game. Two new characters were also introduced [[Sawada]], an original character from the film, and Blade, a character dressed as a member of Bison's shock troops from the film. Arkane, F7 and Khyber, who were all [[palette swap]]s of Blade, appear as [[secret character]]s. A powered-up version of Bison appears as a final computer-controlled opponent exclusive to the game's Tag-Team Mode.


====Australasia====
''Street Fighter: The Movie'' is the only game in the series where the boss characters [[Balrog (Street Fighter)|Balrog]], [[Vega (Street Fighter)|Vega]] and Bison, as well as Akuma, were addressed by their western names in Japan. The Japanese instruction card features the original Japanese names of the characters written next to the western names in parentheses to avoid confusion.

====Europe====
All of the characters are billed as being portrayed by the actors who played them in the film (with the exception of Akuma and Blade, who were not in the film), with some of the actors dressed differently to more closely resemble their video game counterparts. While [[Raul Julia]] was credited as Bison, his likeness only appears in the game{{'}}s attract sequence and cut-scenes, which used footage from the film. Julia{{'}}s stunt double, Darko Tuscan, was used to digitized the character in the game instead.

The question suggested itself quite naturally this week: How many caps would [[Peter Gill]] (or [[Paul Gill]]?) have won, if he had been born British?

The London Broncos back-row forward comes instead from Toowoomba and, before he was named in the Stones Super League Dream Team this week, his only representative honour was more than a decade ago for a Queensland Residents' XIII.

===Club football to be included===
As much as I think a case-by-case approach will just lead to more problems down the track, it seems that hard and fast rules about which club football is to be included and which is not for all players are unworkable. Maybe the best thing is if a ''guidline'' could be agreed to for different general types of players' cases. It should be understood that an article's infobox is not a substitute for its body text. The infobox is merely an added extra, to be used as a common point of reference amongst all individuals for quickly locating the most pertinent/commonly-sought information about them. When it comes to what football an individual played or coached is to be included, an exhaustive list, regardless of notability (e.g. a list including school-age representative teams alongside full international test teams) is a poor option for rugby league. I find the following tests useful when deciding on inclusion:

*Considering the row of 'Totals' (for matches, points, etc.) at the bottom of the 'Club' sections. Will these totals give a skewed representation of a player's career in cases where lower level data is mixed with top-level data?
*Considering whether, during the time spent at a club, it is/was likely, or even possible, for a player to be selected for representative football (which would be present in the "Representative information" section). If, while playing at a particular club, a footballer is selected to play representative rugby league, then clearly that club football is noteworthy. This is also important as time spent in a representative team must have corresponding time spent in in a club team so as to avoid the impression that a player came from retirement or obscurity to play representative football.
*Considering continuity. Will excluding football played at a club leave unexplained gaps in the data that are likely to raise questions in the minds of readers? If so, this will strengthen the case for inclusion.
*Considering whether data for years, games, tries, goals, field goals, points, etc. is available for football played for a side. If it is available (and citeable), this will strengthen the case for inclusion.

Perhaps the following (which are based on the above), if agreed to, could form the basis of such a guidline.

|-
| style="border: solid 1px silver; padding: 8px; background-color: white;" style="text-align: left;" |

#For players like '''[[Brad Fittler]]''', if information on his pre-NSWRL teams was located and included, I think the 'Club' section of his playing career would suffer because of how neatly the figures total as they are now. These totals are a good reflection of his top-level playing career. His junior club matches should not be included in those totals, so I think the status quo for his article is fine (although there is a question mark on the inclusion of the 'City Firsts' team in his representative career. See Ian Walsh below).
#As for players like '''[[Arthur Beetson]]''', the same point could be made about his NSWRL club career totals being adversely affected by his BRL figures. However I think the case made (and apparently agreed to) previously about the inclusion of pre-1988 BRL football (even if it means putting up with blank spaces in some columns) is stronger, particularly as Beetson played for Queensland while at Redcliffe. It should not appear as though he came from retirement to play for the Maroons, so in his case the lack of a neat row of NSWRL totals is the lesser of two evils. Ideally figures could be located and inserted for his time at Redcliffe and included in the row of totals. Therefore I think the status quo for Beetson's article is fine too. ([[Wally Lewis]]' case is similar. If the infobox only allowed for figures from his NSWRL career his row of totals would be skewed indeed. Not only that, it would also appear that he played for (and captained) the Kangaroos years before he ever played club football!).
#For players like '''[[Adrian Lam]]''' it is different again. His 'Club' section also contains time spent at a Queensland club with several blank columns, however his is a post-1987 Queensland Cup team. Even if data were located and inserted for these games, they should not be included in his 'Club' total for the same reason that Brad Fittler's (see above) pre-NSWRL career shouldn't. However as most people seem to agree with treating Super League as equivalent to the NRL, his Roosters and Wakefield figures being summed would be appropriate, to give a general impression of his career just as Brad Fittler's row of totals does. So in his article's case, the status quo is not acceptable and the Wests club career should be dealt with in the body text.
#In cases like that of '''[[Darren Smith (rugby league)|Darren Smith]]''', who went from Super League to a post-1987 Queensland Cup team, yet from there made the occassional appearance for an NRL team, there is no need for the Queensland Cup team's figures to be listed in the 'Club' section and added to its totals. The body text's explanation is sufficient.
#In '''[[Wayne Bennett (rugby league)|Wayne Bennett]]''''s case, as already stated, all pre-1988 BRL footy should appear in the infobox. However informaition for Warwick, a Queensland country club, should be moved to the body text if he didn't play representative footy for Queensland whilst there.
#With '''[[Duncan Thompson]]''', as his representative career spanned time spent with all the clubs in his career, it appears no exclusion is necessary. However, the 'Ipswich Starlights' club, who he appears to have briefly played for after returning from the war before resuming his career in the NSWRFL, might be better placed in the body text (as per Darren Smith above). More information would of course be helpful in deciding on cases like this though.
#For players like '''[[Billy Wilson]]''', whose NSWRFL career was punctuated by spells playing for clubs in the bush, I think the bush clubs should stay in his case. It shows that he didn't stop playing footy between his time at the Sydney clubs. It could be argued that he didn't play for any representative teams from those country clubs, but in his case for the sake of continuity, the status quo is acceptable (ideally with further explanation in the body text).
#With '''[[Ian Walsh]]''' a decision needs to be made about the 'Western Divison' team that appears under the representative section of his infobox. To be consistent with the above, if it's decided that 'Western Division' should stay, then the clubs from where he was selected should also stay. However, I think City and Country should be the minimum representative level included in the infobox, in which case Walsh's football for 'Western Division' and all the clubs up until Eugowra (from which he was selected for New South Wales) should be moved to the body text and detailed there as, unlike Ian Walsh, there is no continuity issue. Deciding on the fate of 'Western Division' is not so simple yet. More information is needed on this team. If it was assembled to play against touring test teams, then I think it would be of a sufficient level to remain in the infobox.
#For players like '''[[Wally Prigg]]''', who never played for a Sydney team but represented Australia and New South Wales, his Newcastle club data should be retained in the infobox or it would appear that he came from obscurity to play for the Kangaroos.
#For players like '''[[John Dorahy]]''', who moved back and forth beween Australia and England in the days before Super League, I vote that all clubs be included for the following reasons. He was selected for Country while playing for Wests Wollongong. It's agreed that Country should appear in the representative section, so in his case Wests Wollongong should appear in the club section so it doesn't seem as though he played representative footy before playing anywhere else. The time he spent at English clubs should also be included, as looking at the years he was there, they appear to have been in the top flight at those times. Even if they weren't, just including them all might be best anyway (see below).
#The case of '''[[Josh Hannay]]''' is more difficult still. His infobox shows him moving from an NRL club to [[National League One]] club [[Celtic Crusaders]], a non-top-level team from where representative selection would be almost impossible. If he retired tomorrow it could be argued that the Crusaders figures (if located and included) should go into the body text and not be summed with his NRL figures. However Celtic Crusaders will become a Super League club next season and in all likelihood Hannay will continue to play for them, in which case it would be odd to have nothing for 2007-08, but 2009 figures included. This kind of case could form the basis of a rule stating that if, during a player's time at a lower level club it moves to the top level, the player's whole time there should be included for the sake of continuity.

Based on the above, I propose the following guidlines (remember, 'exclude' does not mean exclude from the article, it just means from the infobox. Information about this football can be detailed in the body text or even other additional tables in the article):

Football played (or coached) at clubs in the:

*[[NRL]] - include all
**Toyota Cup - exclude all
*[[Super League]] - include all
*Pre-1996 [[Rugby Football League]] (regardless of division) - include all (unless someone has a better idea. I don't)
*French domestic competitions - include all
*New Zealand domestic competitions
**Pre-1995 - include all
**Post-1994 - exclude all
*[[NSWRL premiership|NSWRL]]/[[Australian_Rugby_League#1995-1997:_Control_of_the_first_grade_competition|ARL]]/[[Super League (Australia)|SL]]:
**First-grade - include all
**Non-first-grade - exclude all
*[[Brisbane Rugby League premiership|BRL]]:
**Pre-1988 first grade - include all
**Pre-1988 non-first-grade - exclude all
**Post-1987 - exclude all
*post-1995 Rugby Football League (e.g. [[Rugby League National Leagues|National Leagues 1 & 2]]) - include some (see guidelines)
*Queensland country competitions - include some (see guidelines)
*New South Wales country competitions - include some (see guidelines)
*[[Queensland Cup]] - exclude all
*[[New South Wales Cup]] - exclude all

The Greatest Game of All

Oh, there's nothing like the spectacle of a test match in full roar,
with the forwards charging, backs are stepping, running at full bore.
The Pommies and the Kiwis and the Frogs all play real keen,
but we take on all comers and Australia reigns supreme.
So whether you're on the Cricket Ground, Lang Park or the bush,
you're still gonna run, you're still gonna tackle and the scrums have got the same push.
You give it some then you get some more and you really give your all,
playing rugby league football it's the greatest game of all.

The question suggested itself quite naturally this week: How many caps would Peter Gill (or Paul Gill?) have won, if he had been born British?

The London Broncos back-row forward comes instead from Toowoomba and, before he was named in the Stones Super League Dream Team this week, his only representative honour was more than a decade ago for a Queensland Residents' XIII.

As much as I think a case-by-case approach will just lead to more problems down the track, it seems that hard and fast rules about which club football is to be included and which is not for all players are unworkable.
