Taking the definition to its greatest degree, Sure Killing Technique could be defined to include total game mastery. In fact, Street Fighter Alpha/Zero introduced a victory icon in the form of a piece of cheese, to denote when a character has won by way of tick damage, or what I would argue, is true Sure Killing Technique. Unofficial game guides of the time also introduced the concept of вЂњCheeseвЂќ, which, at face value, is a derogatory translation of the slightly expanded definition that I offer. These are just a small sample of the references to this concept that persist throughout the history of the game. One of SakuraвЂ™s Alpha 2/Zero 2 quotes: вЂњThat sure killing technique, from you will absolutely be made mine wonвЂ™t it!вЂќ Street Fighter Zero, Capcom 1995 arcade cabinet move set sticker (part number SFZ956A03-3): notes character moves as вЂњSpecial MoveвЂќ (However, a sure-killing technique still does approx. Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Capcom 1991, 1993, 1994 arcade cabinet вЂњHow to PlayвЂќ instruction card (part number SSX943A01): contains the language вЂњWhen you continue to use sure-killing techniques, increased energy will be shown on the Super Combo gauge!!вЂќ and вЂњYou can defend against your opponentвЂ™s attack by moving the lever backward without attacking. Super Street Fighter II, Capcom 1991,1993 arcade cabinet move set sticker (part number SS2939A03-4): contains the language вЂњTHE ART OF THE SURE KILLвЂќ, the sticker illustrates the special moves of each of the new challengers Super Street Fighter II, Capcom 1991,1993 arcade cabinet move set card (part number SS2939A01-2 and SS2939A02-2): Sure Killing Technique is listed under each character as their individual special moves Street Fighter IIвЂ™ Hyper Fighting, Capcom 1991,1992 arcade cabinet move set card (part number S2T92CA02): Sure Killing Technique is listed under each character as their individual special moves Street Fighter IIвЂ™ (Champion Edition), Capcom 1991,1992 arcade cabinet move set sticker: Sure Killing Technique is listed under each character as their individual special moves Below are examples I have found of the application of the concept Sure Killing Technique: From the point of Street Fighter IIвЂ™ through Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Sure Killing Technique is prevalently emphasized. To the best of my knowledge, and as far as I can confirm by a lack of finding, no move sets were officially provided for World Warrior or Street Fighter (what has now become known as вЂњStreet Fighter 1вЂќ). To establish a definition of the concept of Sure Killing Technique, I reviewed strategy guides and arcade cabinet labeling as far back as Street Fighter IIвЂ™ (Champion Edition, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the cross-market naming conventions employed at the time). In the gameвЂ™s most recent iteration, Super Street Fighter 4 AE 2012, Sure Killing Technique, at this expanded definition, still exists. Should the opponent execute a move that produces enough invincibility for them to escape even the tick damage, they still remain vulnerable, and a follow-up attack will kill them. Whether blocked or unblocked, the damage from the attack will kill. In its earliest form, an example from Street Fighter II: World Warrior would be gaining a knock-down on your opponent, leaving him with a sliver of life, then executing a shoryuken, hadoken or blade kick with such precision that the opponent has no ability to escape defeat. I argue that at its slightly more expanded form, Sure Killing Technique is the application of what has become known as вЂњSpecial MoveвЂќ so that tick damage assures your opponentвЂ™s death. Sure Killing Technique, synonymous with Assured Killing Technique or Irrefutable Killing Technique. However, the name of this concept seems to imply a guarantee of some sort. In its simplest form the Sure Killing Technique appears to be nothing more than a characterвЂ™s special move(s). Perusing my collection of memorabilia from days of Street Fighter past, I find an overwhelming recurrence of a single theme: Sure Killing Technique.
