/vr/ - Retro Games

MK>>>SF

This game is tough, but if you stick with it, it gets super addictive.

>>514805
KI >>>>>>>>> Everything

>>514805
I can understand holding that opinion back in the early/mid 90s when young and dazzled by the gore and the grimdark graphics and fatalities, but it took them 17 years to equal the Street Fighter series in gameplay with MK9.

>>514825
wrong... it took many years for it to become douchey and over-complicated like SF, starting with the ones on gamecube/ps2/xbox

>>514825
MKII plays better than SFII any edition.

Every SF game>>>>SFIV

>>514820
Seriously?

Where I can download it?

>>514840
Well, it was kind of douchey at the start seeing how the factory setting for every arcade machine clearly didn't want you to play for more than two rounds and if you think the Street Fighter series is complicated you haven't played Virtua Fighter.

>>514843
It certainly looks cooler, but has wooden controls and characters who mostly play alike. I have nostalgic feeling towards it as well, but saying that it plays better than Street Fighter or most SNK fighters of the era is like still choosing a side in the console wars.

>>514867
And when I said douchey, I mean Mortal Kombat.
Street Fighter II actually allowed room for improvement to carry you trough the game until it became cheep in the final battle.

>>514860
Not every SF game. Certainly not the first and certainly not pic related.

>>514865
I think so. It's frustrating and difficult, but you have infinite continues to encourage you to continue with the challenge. I remember, back around 2010, a few angry reviewers gave it a shot, and even though they nitpicked it, all of them seemed to enjoy it.

>>514880
That game is shit.

The first SF game was not really bad.

I don't like how some fighting games have these overly complicated moves, and sometimes when you suggest that simpler controls wouldn't harm the game, people get defensive about it.

That being said, I never got into these because they require a lot of practice up front just to do moves and combos to stand any kind of beginning chance, and that's not fun for me. Fun for other people, I guess, but not for me.

>>514886
>The first SF game was not really bad.
It was gimicky and played worse than Yie Ar Kung-Fu. It certainly isn't good.

>>514895
>have these overly complicated moves,
Just some characters have those moves (akume i.e) others like Ryu are easy as fuck.

I don't have anything against people that prefer "easy" controls,but the movements are easy to learn for almost everyone,just play with easy characters.

>>514927
*akuma.

>>514880
this game was better than Street Fighter IV
>all those easter eggs
>all those hidden fights
>kombat kodes
>multiple supers and desperation attacks
basically it managed to have more depth than any SF at the time

>>514927

Some of them are easier, yeah. Even I can manage a quarter circle forward or backwards on a d-pad. Personally I struggle with anything else and that ends up harming the game's fun for me when that's more required out of the gate and I can't manage.

>>514964
>Not playing Honda and just mashing punch

In fact, if it wasn't for Honda (who I mainly play on SF2) I would never have gotten into street fighter the way I have now.

I've always preferred King of Fighters to Street Fighter, SF feels very barebones to me after being used to KoF.

That said, MK a shit, worst fighting series i've ever laid my hands on.

>>514989
>Not playing with chun-li and just smashing the kick button.

>>514997
you obviously haven't played many fighting games, especially MK's imitators

>>514989
>not waiting for noobs to do that so you can counter everytime

>>515004
True that, i've stuck to the main series like Tekken and Soul Edge/Calibur, including most of the SNK ones, and a few one-offs like Ehrgeiz.

Compared to all that, the only MK that's even borderline playable is MK9, the rest is "COME FOR THE HUGE ROSTER OF IDENTICAL CHARACTERS DOING IDENTICAL MOVES, STAY FOR THE EDGY GORE".

>>514843

Sweep the leg!

>>515013

I could play MK9 more reliably than other fighters, at least. Anything else at that point would be sitting down and doing practice, which I don't really have the time for these days.

>>515013
you're exaggerating heavily, post at least 3 examples of "identical characters doing identical moves" that aren't related to Smoke
>"edgy" gore
>friendships
>8 skulls and 12 ribcage explosions
>screaming legs

>>515028
I can't quite find the image right now (and i don't know most of the names, as it should be rather obvious i deeply dislike it), but there are like 6 recolors of Sub Zero (Scorpion, Smoke, Reptile... Ermac? Maybe more), several of Kitana, Cyrax/ red Cyrax...

Also
> friendships were only there to piss off the critics
> the entire reason MK was succesful in the first place were the showers of gore

>>515056
>MK poking fun at itself from the second game onward
>first game still had joke endings
also you said "identical characters doing identical moves", not characters that were just identical, there's like 14 ninjas by Trilogy anyway
>Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Rain, Reptile, Ermac, Noob Saibot, Human Smoke, Chameleon
>Kitana, Jade, Mileena, Khameleon
>Sektor, Cyrax, Robot Smoke

>>514998
But you can't move when doing it as Chun-Li.
>>515008
Well it's a good starting point for noobs. When it starts getting countered, you start being more smart about it. HHS can be deadly at any skill level.

I'd say Honda is the ultimate character for new SF2 players because of how easy all of his special moves are. The only problem that occurs is if you can't get your head around charging.

>>514998
>Not playing as Blanka and mashing all the buttons

Got me all the way to Bison as a kid.

>>515067

I heard that apparently what you do is hold the charge direction as you do a combo, then fire it off at the end. Which is kind of neat, I didn't know you could do it that way.

>>515075
Oh man I remember when everyone in my town played as blanka for its easy controls and the cool as fuck design.

It was the shit when hyper fighting allowed us play blanka vs blanka tournaments.

>>515075
Oh God I loved Blanka for the longest time. I loved cornering people and then shocking them to death. It took a long time until the neighborhood kids figured out how to counter my bullshit, and by that point, I figured out Blanka had other moves.

Zangief was a fucking beast if you could master his controls.

bumpity bamp.

>>515085
I liked how his vertical rolling attack could hit on the way down in Hyper Fighting. It was never able to do that again in any of the later games,

SFIII: 3rd Strike is easily my favorite. Ungodly amounts of time spent on this game.

Ibuki is the best chick fighter in the series.

>>514794
this game got me into fighters hardcore....golden era in the arcades when it was really gritty and people got punched in the face just for throwing someone 3 times in one round....i defeated sheng long....

so many crazy stories about guys coming outta nowhere to a random pizza shop arcade and whipping everyone's ass with dhalsim or zangief back when those two characters were never used...it was always ryu, ken, guile, chun, blankas...but the things this guy did to people with dhalsim and zangief was mindblowing...

question
has anyone played the version of street fighter where there was glitches that allowed you to change your character mid match?

and when you were blanka and bit someone , he would turn in2 ryu for a split second and do this 360 shoryuken thing then morph back into blanka then hop off you

SFA3 & SFIII: 3rd Strike, the best two street fighter games EVER.

i also remember using negative edge in combos and thinking i was the shit...i would jump roundhouse , into low forward then hurricane kick..with only 2 kick inputs instead of three...and i would feel myself....

funniest stuff was getting a crossup kick into jab hard uppercut for the dizzy..then doing it again and it was basically over

Street Fighter Alpha is probably my favorite.. dunno? Series in the series? Whatever, there is nothing cooler than alpha counter and alpha counter reversals

Best Street Fighter.

>>515374
i agree

https://code.google.com/p/mame-rr/wiki/Hitboxes
Lua scripts that let you see hitboxes in every Street Fighter, plus many other fighting games.

>>515425
Guile's low roundhouses always had BULLSHIT range, just look at that hitbox.

Street Fighter 2 sucks. The original was way better. This sequel is a shameful fucking disappointment.

UDON

>>515449
There's one of you in every single SF thread, you dense motherfucker you.

>>515512
>People pointing out the truth are dense motherfuckers.
>There's no way I could possibly be wrong.

>>515630

Well, you also need to give some evidence and I didn't see that in your post.

>Down R Up L Y B

>>514825
Actually, they didn't

Corner gmeplay and hitstun it's shit

>>514997
KOF is good, but gameplay is too simple, almost every character in roster is a shotoclone, even grapplers run and bunny hopping is tedious

>>515321
I love when someone posts the cover of the best fighting game ever made

>>515749

I neither understand the love for KoF. There are better SnK fighting games, like Garou or The Last Blade 2.

WTF happened with SF3 anyway? When it came out everyone hated it and it lost Capcom a ton of money. Now everyone claims they love it.

>>515749
>>515790
>>514997
Capcom vs. SNK was/is probably the best fighting game ever made, in my opinion.

>>515794
Well it took them like ten years to release a sequel. People realized it was a pretty good game when they were forced to play it.

bump

>>515425
Excuse my newfagginess but.

What is a hitbox?

My favorite fighting game period is Street Fighter Alpha 3 but I don't know if that's board-permissible.

>>516151

Of course it is. Also, good choice, but I think I like Alpha 2 a bit more.

>>516140

The part you can hit or can get hit.

>>515013
I see you've never played anything past MK1 either. Combos and set ups in MK2 and UMK3 are insane and satisfying when completed.

>>515067
You couldnt move with Honda until Championship edition.

>>515327
all those hacks should be included when you download SF2:CE for MAME. look for rainbow edition or red wave in the list of "roms" under the normal champion edition in the list.

>>515794
well, because it wasnt available on home consoles. SF3 came out at a time when Consoles where getting huge.

Coupled with the two revisions that capcom released within a year of each other, and poor distribution, it left a sour taste in peoples mouths... until dreamcast. Then people started to see how good it was. I still think its one of the best fighters today. My fav. is Super Turbo/HDRemix, CVS2, XMvSF and then 3S.

>>515327
would always leave me in awe when the machine decided to throw dhalsim or zangief at me as a challenge opponent instead of the usual cake they are.
the rate of speed he could teleport then hit you with light kicks and yoga flames to dizzyness was shocking. nonstop yoga barrage.
I'd seen that mod you're mentioning too but no idea, man.

>>514880
I like how they added a character into that game that wasn't even in the movie.

>>516346
That game was fucking awful.

>>515749
>almost every character in roster is a shotoclone
and yet the designs manage to be more interesting than 3/4 SF characters designs

>>516168
Yeah, I like Alpha 2 more than Alpha 3 too. And Night Warriors more than Vampire Savior.

>>516360
Sawada needs to be a canon character.

>>516415
Yes, bring back Sawada for SF5. And give him the HARAKIRI! and KAMIKAZE BANZAI! moves he had in the console version,

Who is the best character of the entire SF series?

>>516494
Geki.

>>516494
Akuma.

Such shame EX characters never got anywhere outside their home series.

>>516574
I was surprised when SFIV came and they were not there.

Is really that hard to put all the characters that once appeared in SF in a new game? Just for the sake of having them even if they are ultra low tier characters (like Dan)

>>516636
EX characters were designed by Arika which co-produced the EX series so they own the characters; all Capcom have to do is buy the character rights in order to include them in other SF titles.

Last I've heard the two companies were in good therms with each other so there's hope to that.

>>516494
Zangief.

Anyone who says otherwise is an elaborate ruse.

>>516546
>>>/90's/

Does anyone else here own SSF2 on Wii?
does anyone play online?

>>516636
Yes, it is hard, especially when you don't hold the license to them.

>>516724
I could.

>>516429
He committed seppuku as one of his moves...

Alpha 2 is best Street Fighter. This is scientific fact.

>>514880
I heard that one was actually pretty good since it played a lot like Super Street Fighter 2. Or am I thinking of the arcade version of Street Fighter The Movie? I heard one is good and the other is shit.

>>517256
The console one is the one that sorta plays like SSF2T (although it has a few new mechanics of it's own). The arcade one is the screwed up one. Although amusingly it's the console version of Capt. Sawada that has the crazy moves.

>>517091

I really thought if we saw more love for online adaptations of VC games we'd eventually see a rise of them on nintendo systems but look how that worked out

I am a scientist and it is a fact.

>>517470
Stop that. You are a bear.

If you guys didn't know, you can play all those super old Capcom fighters online on GGPO. Most of the people there are ridiculously good though.

>>517510
What are you talking about? I am a human. Look I even drive a car to work every morning.

>>517510

He's a scientist. Look at his glasses.

>>517541

That's why I organize my own get togethers on GGPO.

Some people here thinks that SFIV is shit.

Care to explain the reasons?

>>517957

Can't say much to the game since I didn't played it, but they should really stick to the classical art style. That 2.5D stuff looks horrible.

>>517957
lack of new ideas and the same "we're going to continue to make you pay for upgrades" idea

>>517957

I like SFIV, but I know most of their reasoning.

-Loose controls. This allows for mashing to be "effective" and messes up inputs for some seasoned players.
-Ultra meter which gives you a powerful attack for getting beat up
-ugly graphics
-bad soundtrack

Off the top of my head. Now I don't think the game is ugly, and I don't think ultras are inherently bad. I find it funny that SFIV got a bunch of flak for having comeback mechanics when it's nowhere near the first game to give the losing player some help.

>>518001
This.

Even when the idea of SFIV was to "go back to the roots (SFII)"

>>517983
I know that this is subjective,but I like the design,not as much as the anime-esque style of SFA,but I like it.

IMO It would be a good idea for next SF games to let you choose the style (2,5D or classical 2D) moreless like the language of the voices.

>>518015

Also I want to add that while I don't find most of the soundtrack great (it's good...not great) that I still kinda like it.

>>517983
If they do that all the graphic whores would go full apeshit.

"Why we have HD consoles and PC's if we are going to play games with ugly graphics lol,this looks like something from 1978 xDDD PC master race!"

2D grahics are awesome yes,but If a "new" game uses them,it will be considered "bad" and "old" just because they don't fully utilize the new graphic cards and all that shit.

>>518073
Forgot pic.

>>517957
To me it plays like a weird hybrid of Alpha and Third strike but no where near as good as those. I would rather just stick to those games instead of playing SFIV. Though it is not completely terrible. Also found it funny that they gave Dan of all people one of the most over powered ultra attacks.

>>514895
Take this in the spirit in which it is intended, but maybe Street Fighter isn't for you brah

Maybe you should go play some Super Smash Bros.

>>514895

Guy buy the GC/Xbox version of Capcom VS SNK 2. There you go.

>>514895
Try something like Virtua Fighter. The games technically only have two attack buttons and most moves don't utilize as much movement inputs as other fighting games.

>>515374
it was everything the first super street fighter should've been

I loved Blanka's new hop, ground shave, and all the new supers, and safe throws

>>518073
There's a third option. Most screens have a high enough resolution now that you can go full cartoon-mode without visible pixels. Detailed vector graphics.

Like playing the anime (but with a better story).

>>516705
I would have to agree, comrade

Check out this crazy throw video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQkV1gFPLB8

>grabbing dhalsim from across the screen

What can I say? I love a guy that loves his job. Zangief's job is to drive skulls spiraling into the ground, and he loves his job.

>>516705
>>518196
Pfft. He never even came back for round 2.

>>518186
Fully 2D games died long time ago m8.

Again 2D>3D (For some types of games like fighting games and maybe some platformers) but 2D now is synonym of bad quality or old,not for all the people of course,but with all those halos and CoD's the 3DHD fever is too strong to fight against.

i played alpha 2 gold the most, so i guess your right.

Am I the only one who thinks most of the stages/music VOices in New Generation/2nd Impact are better then 3rd Strike?

>>515790
I do, even if I think SF is better, KOF is a game that does a lot of things right.

-character design
-beautiful pixel art in stages
-Best OST in Fighting games with guilty gear IMO
-pseudo interesting story that, it's simple, yet is well executed

>>515870
As a tourneyfag, I can tell you that CvS2 is one of the best fighting games ever made, even with the recicled sprites and the horrible balance.

>>516379
Well, SF designs are clichés of late 80s, even if SF has worst designs than KOF, it has characters like chun-li, cammy and Karin to make an example, masterpieces of visual character design, Vega too (claw)

>>517957
Overall, fixing what isn't broken.

Ultras are a comeback mechanick and that is always a bad thing in fighting games, they changed the input lienency making doing combos a pain in the ass, and throws are mash-able, making the close combat flowchart boring and repetitive.

It isn't shit, but it's a bad game

I'm interested in /vr/'s opinion on this, because I have a friend who is pretty great at most capcom fighters and both he and his brother swear that Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the definitive street fighter game...I'm more of a SF2:CE oldfag who didn't really like anything after that too much, so I can't comment really but it's interesting to hear people itt championing SFA:2.

Opinions?

>>514880
Oh god! Street Fighter: The Movie(the game)
I can't! Them fighter animations!
>captcha: uncultivated gyetin

>>519431
No, SFA3 is unbalanced, because every character has airthrow, and V ism is broken as fuck, also, crouchcanceling in V-ism.

For alpha fans, alpha 2 is better, custom combos had a better balance between risk.reward, doing an alpha counter was harder and had better balance.

Yet again the best SF game is third strike, and is considered the best fighting game ever in general, by a lot of FG players

Darkstalkers is better.

>>519465

Cool thanks for the summary. I found the animation in SF3/Third Strike exceedingly well done, wasn't too crazy about the soundtrack....

Gameplay wise...it seems to have a learning curve that is pretty intimidating to an oldfag like me. Getting kara/thrown all day, getting all the different PAs straight and the parrying - it seems extremely technical right now, does it get more enjoyable if you sink the hours in?

>>517096

Never pulled off the Commit Sudoku move, but I've always wanted to do his Kamikaze Body press

>>519431
If you don't delve into V-ism too deep, Alpha 3 seems great. Once you start seeing crouch cancel combos, you'll see just what the problems are.

What's funny is that people seem to dislike Alpha 3 Upper even more, even though they fixed crouch cancelling in it.

>>519465
Which is sad, since SF3:3S is far from balanced, either.

>>519586
But 3s has the potential for tier change yet, due to the deep mechanics and the insane metagame, hell, last SBO (big ass tournamet in japan) was elena vs fucking alex, look it up, see a YT channel called The Shend or something, if everyona used chun and yun all day, was because toyrney fagging and money involved, even sean moved up on the tiers.

Alpha 3 IS great though, but is far to be the ultimate SF experience or something like that

>>519545
The more you play and the less characters you use the better, 3s is an excellent experience and rewarding if you like fighting games in general

>>514910
It wasn't gimmicky, and I found it to be very interesting. You played as the main character, and moved through the story.

Plus most of the characters were memorable, and even are remade as a homage, or brought back.

>>518818

Not really. I prefer NG's Leave Alone over You Blow My Mind, but I also prefer Killing Moon over whatever Akuma used in 2I.

Jazzy NYC and Crowded Street will always be a favorite, no matter what the version.

>>514880

I find it funny that the arcade version of this game has insane as fuck infinites like Ryu cancelling Tatsu after each DP repeatedly until the round ends (and even after).

>>515790

I wish those series got some more love. I'd like to see a Last Blade 3 somewhere down the line.

He seems bored fighting even the most skilled fighters

>>520054
I've always wondered why he keeps the handcuffs.

He is not THAT strong,maybe fearless,but not super strong or something.

>>516494
Dan. Everyone else is objectively inferior to his fighting style.

>>520082
He seriously keeps them on so fights will be a challenge

The guy fucked up a citywide gang along with Guy and Haggar, saved the city several times

Do not doubt his strenght

The only thing he lacks is drive, he doesn't care about world titles or being the world's strongest, but he's actually one of the strongest fighters in the street fighter universe

Fatal Fury's problem was that it was all over the place in terms of what it was trying to be.

But eh, a sequel for it or Last Blade would be alright. That said, I feel like a lot of press those games get lie in the aesthetics; KoF '98, 2002 and their Ultimate/Unlimited iterations deserve due props as solid fighters, even if they aren't quite as purdy.

>>516195
i think it might be red wave...trying to see if i can find a vid of someone using blanka to see the face-bite-morph ryu shoryuken thingy...thanks

>>515374
Nope
zero 2 alpha is bestest street fighter

In some earlier revisions of World Warrior, Zangief could grab Honda as soon as the round started. Now because this was World Warrior it meant that Zangief ALWAYS landed right next to his opponent since the bounce distance for his SPD in SF2:WW was so damn short and low, the second was the fact that there are no reversals in WW. So it was a free crossup splash into tick SPD everytime.

Which is amusing because Gief vs Honda in later matchups is fucking frustrating when you're a Gief player, especially in ST

>>520301
Yeah,is competent.

But its stir mid-low tier.

>>520207
Oh my god.

Hardcore players tend to say the PS2 Collection is the best port available (although the recent BXL/PSN one might have that honor now).

Hey guys.

I want to buy the PSX versions of street fighter alpha,but I've heard that they have less features.

Do you think that is a good idea?

Thx.

PS1 ports of Capcom fighters in general tend to have lots of missing animation and other inaccuracies. The best port of the Alpha games currently available is the PS2 Street Fighter Alpha Anthology. It has accurate ports of all the original arcade versions plus extra modes with all the additional characters and such from previous console ports. Also includes Pocket Fighter as a bonus.

>>523394
You can have that very same bgm again. No one gets busted for spc dumps so it's cool to post a link:

>Even in the 90's people didn't know shit about fighting games

Ah well. I guess leave it to Japan and South Korea to actually get good at them.

Here's how you beat SF2 on SNES.

-To beat the first 7 fighters, have them join in on player 2 and beat them while they stand still.
- To beat Balrog, pick Guile. Back up all the way, hold down, and keep tapping HK.
- To beat Vega, pick Chun Li and jump around and use HK.
- To beat Sagat, pick Ryu and throw fireballs and use sweeps.
- To beat Bison, pick Honda and jump and use LK.

Hey! Don't look down on my "I'm only 8 and it's the early 90s" strategies!

I still remember how easy it was to destroy all the kids from the block in sf2 because they thought the weaker attack buttons are just there for shits n giggles. They never catched on, even after losing dozens of times. I was truly the King of Street Fighter in my neighbourhood [/spoiler]everyone hated me[/spoiler]

>Oni and E. Honda are the only characters who recognize that Cody, while still wearing very loose chains, is in fact holding back on all his battles. Unusually, if Cody loses to Oni as a boss in Arcade Mode, Oni actually implies that Cody might survive a battle with him if he doesn't hold back.

>If Cody, who is one of the most blunt and honest about fights, wins in a fight against Akuma, he admits he thought Akuma was rather weak compared to his expectations, being the only Street Fighter to honestly imply that he was unimpressed by Akuma's strength.

Cody is used to fighting several people at once. He's one of the strongest fighters in Street Fighter.

Different != Better

I don't like KI's lack of depth compared to SF, quite honestly. It's fun to pick up again every now and again, but there's nothing to keep me coming back to it. I can't say I've played KI64, though, so maybe there's something there that I missed.

>>514880
I loved playing as Balrog and juggling 4-6 times with c.mk. Also, Vega's roll, c.hp combos.

I think her moves are different enough from Ryu's that she can't be thrown into the shoto pile.

If you want to blame somebody of HURR SHOTO you can look at Ken, Akuma, and Sean but both Dan and Sakura are different enough to not be thrown in the shoto pile

To me alpha 2 had the best music and best backgrounds

Was severely disappointed when Alpha 3 did not match it with the same awesome backgrounds/music

Charlie stage in Alpha 2 for best stage ever (fighting on top of a building with a plane flying behind you)

>>528197
To be fair, each shotoclone is just different enough from Ryu to be their own character.
Yes, Sakura is a shotoclone and you're crazy if you think otherwise.

>>528254
I prefer Rolento's stage.

>>528283
Yeah that was a good one too

In fact all stages in Alpha 2 were awesome, and the music in Alpha 2 Gold was unbelievable

Ryu with the calm snowy background

Ken with the pool party

Also one thing I loved about Alpha 2 was the one person story mode.

Instead of always meeting Bison at the end like in Alpha 3 you'd get to meet an opponent you were feuding with (Gen met Akuma, Ken met Ryu, etc.)

Much better than other Street Fighter games where you always meet the same final boss.

I wish more Street Fighter games did this

>>528313
Also if you got a certain amount of perfects or met a certain criteria you'd meet special character cutscenes

I think there was one where Dan called Ken "blondie"

>>528320
They don't have to be perfects. In the first five fights: don't lose and defeat your opponent with a super move or custom combo.

If you succeed, you face a mid-boss.

I remember going to this slumber party as a kid. I'd moved to a new town, and I was kind of pity invited to attend. One kid talked to me some, but otherwise I was ignored. The kids mom set me up to play Snes while everyone else were playing risk. Saw the kid had Turbo, so I popped it in and punched this code in. That little sound, an seeing what it unlocked, you'd have thought I brought group of twelve year old boys a box of titties and candy. I felt like a fucking god that night.

Anecdotal evidence time: every person I've know who like sf series has been cool, every person who has preferred mk has been obnoxious and lame.

>>528581
What if they like both like I do?

Although I admittedly have always liked SF more

>>525626

You can't combo like that in SF2 with anyone. Chain combos didn't exist for that game until Alpha 1 and that's because they did Darkstalkers combo system+Street Fighter. After that the only person who had chain combos was Gen.

Light attacks were just good as ticks and ways to beat out certain moves and to create "walls" against things like Honda Torpedo's and Blanka Rolling Balls.

I picked up Super Street Fighter II Turbo the other night and sat down with it properly for the first time since I was a kid (USB Snes controller finally arrived in the mail, fuck playing fighters with a 360 controller).

Set turbo to 3 and did a run-through with Guile, whom I'd always wanted to get good with, but never could. Gradually improved with him as I made my way up to M. Bison.

I had to stop a few matches into that, really needed a shower and it was getting late. But damn, the journey felt really good.

i'm just waiting for another crash by now.

>>529705
you're right smash bros is a party game it'd be like making a competitive scene out of power stone

>>528478
You were a god for disabling special moves? That's what the code did on turbo.

>>530597

In SF2 player 2 could use the same character as player 1 with this code, if I remember correctly.

>>529927

Me too, the entire industry needs to collapse and start over fresh without the burden of the idiotic mistakes they're trying to force on consumers.

We need another golden era of games.

>>530597

>>530945

I don't think you people know what a crash actually entails.

I also wish you idiots would stop assuming every goddamn vidya company is a AAA company. 9 times out of 10 someone complains about the modern game industry, it's a complaint that's directed towards a bigger company.

>>530870
yes, in WORLD WARRIOR

in turbo, it disabled special moves. If you entered it during the intro while T U R B O went across the screen, you could set higher speeds.

Companies go bankrupt when they're unable to remain solvent. Even cities go bankrupt when they're under enormous burdens they can't afford.

I'm thinking you don't understand the concept of bankruptcy/collapse. Suffice it to say, a drug addict will never make an effort to straighten out until they've hit rock bottom. This goes for people, companies, industries, and governments.

Feel free to continue believing whatever you choose but there's no need to be so hostile.

>Suffice it to say, a drug addict will never make an effort to straighten out until they've hit rock bottom. This goes for people, companies, industries, and governments.

But that's wrong.

Also, good job with the texbook definition of a crash. Now try thinking critically about what it means about video games, and don't use what happened in the mid 80s as the *only* logical outcome this time.

>>531040
But she can start a kick super that hits low, has a taunt that hits, and has an easier air punch juggle repeat than Ryu. Ryu also can't alter his standard hadouken to compensate for jumping opponents.

>>531005

Please stop showing your immense ignorance. You obviously don't understand how governments or companies work. I can bet you get you information from a mixture of both serious availability and confirmation biases.

Companies DON'T try to hit rock bottom. It is more common that you see them divesting from unprofitable divisions or changing the direction of their business model. If they go out of business, it's not a "rock bottom" thing. Its usually a slow, strategic sell-off of assets meant to give the greatest amount of value to debt holders, and if they can, shareholders as well.

Just because you use the word "solvent" doesn't mean you know what it means. Pro-tip, you can be insolvent in the short term and not be bankrupt.

>>530996
not the people you're replying to, but you're really mad. that's kinda funny to me.

SFII>>>>Everything else.

Hey /vr/ I found this cool little Street Fighter related thing, but I don't know if it's worth it.

It's basically a very small Plastic Mega Drive that has Street Fighter already on it. It can be connected to the TV using composite cables, and it has a power supply. It also has 2 6 button Mega Drive controllers already attached, and it was £10.

Should I buy it? I'm not a huge fan of Street Fighter, but it's portable, and can be connected to any TV that has composite, the two controllers were pretty decent, but small.

I'm not sure if it's worth a lot though, I sort of dismissed it because I didn't know, and I though £10 was expensive for it, but should I buy it?

Genesis versions are faster than the SNES versions.

That being said, if you want SF2 action, you have access to better versions of it, unless you really want to play on your genesis.

>>532819

Oh, I got the 25th anniversary set back when that came out. I just want it because its pretty neat.

>>532860

You get the stick that came with it too? I forgot what came in that pack because I didn't have a PS2/Xbox at the time and couldn't have bought it anyway

>>532795
There are better choices than the Genesis, but whatever works for you.

If you're against "teh romz" for whatever reason any of the arcade ports for Live/PSN are all really good.

If you don't care about legal gray areas an emulator is about as real as it gets without an actual cabinet. Or get hooked up with GGPO and come join us online.

Hey guys.

I know that this is not the place to talk about it but...I don't want to go to /v/.

I want to buy a street fighter game (yeah,is late as fuck,I know) and I don't know If I should buy SFIV arcade edition or SFxTK.

Recommend me one plox.

>>532976
Maybe I should.

>>532998
Cross is absolutely abysmal.

>>532948
lol, i start posting chen images and you respond to a post that's hours old
protip: i'm not the poster that got you all butthurt
>>532998
AE or SFxT are both good choices, although you're about to hear about how they both suck dick (xT especially)
if i were to tell you how to get in, i'd recommend AE and 3rd Strike

>>532987
Oh, a marvel3 player

>>533010
Not the same guy but.

Why?

>>533036
Because everyone was hating it for a while there and he's parroting what he heard to fit in.

>>533065
>No one is allowed to have problems with this game I like
God forbid someone wants a game without consistent time outs and rushdown that requires more than jab pressure.

>>532898
Not who you were replying to, but I got that for the PS3 for Xmas

>MFW the Blu-Ray box used "THAT" scene as the only picture for the animated series on the back of the case

>>533101
Like I said, you're parroting what you heard and haven't actually played it.
Updates are crazy, I know.

>>533101
But the problem with SFxT isn't that, the porblem is that the learning curve is easy as fuck

>>533115
Have you ever thought that maybe people have the same problems with it?

>>532998
I like AE.

Maybe I'm biassed because I haven't played tekken in years.

Also AFAIK capcom is being a total bitch again with the DLC's again in xTK.

>>533120
No, he was right in as much as what he said were the two big issues that got patched out ages ago. He doesn't know that, since he's never actually played it, but whatever. Stream monsters say stupid shit all the time.

As far as what you're saying, I think the learning curve was meant to be balls easy. If it's not the "flagship" SF title, Cap makes it beginner friendly (i.e. SFxT, any of the Marvel titles, etc.)

You say it's a problem, though. How so?

Bison slide.

That is all.

>>533125
I never said the problems weren't real. I just said you were parroting what you heard on streams and you've never played the game.

see
>>533142

>>533142
It's a problem when everyone can do crazy shit with minimal effort, also, big ass combos that make a lot of damage hurt the metagame badly.

2 of the best games in the genre don't have that problem, GGXXACR and 3s, every fighting game must be hard in order to be good, VF and TTT2 are good examples too

>>533125
Have you ever thought that the two big problems you mentioned were addressed and patched out ages ago?

Have you ever thought that you'd already know this if you actually played the game instead of just repeating what you hear on streams or read on SRK?

>>533205
>big ass combos that make a lot of damage hurt the metagame badly
>every fighting game must be hard in order to be good

I disagree.

I'm not sure I'm looking to argue over what "good" is, but if you're going to level that complaint at SFxT, you have to hit Marvel 3, BB, P4A, and several others, too. I think they're all "good" games, despite being beginner friendly and combo heavy.

I'd argue that "big ass combos" (since they're part of the game system) are a part of the metagame, rather than something that works against it. Marvel 3 is probably the best example of this I could give.

I think we're going to end up trying to hash out what "good" means in the end. Do you mean competitive? Balanced? What is good?

>>532898
The soundtrack part of that's getting a rerelease later this year, as well as a 6-disc Darkstalkers soundtrack collection.

Speaking of Darstalkers, and since this thread is sort of becoming a general retro thread anyway, if you want to see how broken the very first Darkstalkers game was, here's some tourney footage from late last year:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcQ-k6B4qms

I've never played SFIV because my PC was a piece of shit but am interested now.

Is it worth it or is it just EX with prettier graphics? (sage because not retro)

>>533606
It doesn't play like EX, it plays more like a mix of SF2 and SF3.

>>533606
It is worth it.

You don't need a great machine to run it.

I used to play SFIV in my old computer with pentium 4 and 2 gigs of Ram.

Is this >>532898 worth getting? I read that the SF2 movie is the cut version but I was already planning on getting the uncut DVD.

>>533962
Do you already own Yes, it has all of SSF4AE and half of SSFxT's DLC, the 3 PS1 Alpha Ports, Alpha 3 Max for the PSP, and HD Remix, and 3rd Strick Online with its DLC. so it has lotsa games too, The Artbook isn't great though, and the Music CD's only have the lates revisions for the SF games, (So no CPS1 Music of Alpha 1/2)

The Gem System and Pandora Mode didn't feel like they added a lot to the core experience, and instead existed so Capcom could sell more DLC packs.

And you want people to take you seriously stop throwing around buzzwords like sheep and hateboner.

>>539921
*if you

>>539921
So that's all you've got? You didn't like gems and Pandora? A lot of people did like them, but that's neither here nor there...

If those systems had never been introduced at all, would the game still be wasted potential in your opinion? If yes, how so?

DLC is irrelevant to your position, so we can just skip that nonsense. Wouldn't want the conversation to get derailed, would we?

Yep, that's what I thought. Sheep parroting what they hear on streams.
