Here’s another challenge posted by Maj: Classic Combo Challenge 01: Ryu

“In any SF2 series, combo 2 of Ryu’s cr RH sweeps without dizzying the opponent in between.
SF2 series titles: WW, CE, HF, Super, ST, HDR, HSF2”

I’ve been racking my brains trying to figure this one out. Anybody know how this is done? I’m starting to think of Rainbow Edition. :rofl:

Edit: I just found a [media=youtube]W_lRihs6Icw"]youtube response by ultracrazy1. * Damn*, that’s a crazy combo. I knew it involved a fireball and sweep comboing at the same time, since I’ve seen that happen before and knew the sweep would not knock down, but I was trying to figure out how to combo the 2nd sweep. Cancel into Super, of course.:looney::bgrin: Apparently, it can be done [URL=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcqkmLHGxUo”[/media] too.

I’ve also seen Guile’s Sonic Boom and cr Forward combo at the same time, and if the opponent was blocking high, they don’t enter hitstun animation, but rather stay in blockstun animation, but they lose the same amount of health as if they had been hit by the cr Forward.

Thanks again Maj, these are some awesome challenges.

Answerscan be found here. Many thanks to Maj. = ) That was an awesome trivia challenge, and I learned some new stuff too. I didn’t do as well as I thought: 15/50 correct.

Also, I had a question about this answer:

  1. WW: Which character can be OTG?d?
    Vega is vulnerable to OTG attacks after he?s dizzied.

So after Claw is dizzied, you can do 1 knockdown sweep and then hit him again on the ground before he wakes up? I would love to see a vid of this.

Here’s an [media=youtube]Dyl6iUrU6qI#t=2m38s[/media] which works because Magic Throw preserves dizziness. There’s also a few examples in an old TZW video, parts of which were rereleased on the Combo DVD that came with Yoga Book Hyper. Can’t remember the original volume number though.

9

Funny how WW would include unplayable bosses in answers. That alone would throw me off.l

10

Pretty cool quiz!!

11

Wow, I can honestly say I’ve never seen WW Claw hit off the ground after a dizzy. Thanks Maj. Yet another new thing to learn about this game. :rofl:

Ah dammit man, i only answered half of every damn multiple answer question. I need to find the SF cliff note version before I take this exam. Damn, we getting old or maybe it’s just me!

I’m sure over 90% of these are accurate but there might be one or two worth discussing. If you find any mistakes, don’t hesitate to bring them up here or there.

Thanks again for the awesome quiz Maj! Even the oldest OG can learn something from these quizzes. LOL Didn’t do as well as I thought: 13/35 :L

SSF2 question 03

Spoiler
  1. SSF2: Which characters have projectiles that dissipate on-screen?
    Ryu and Chun Li

Ryu? Really? Which Hadoken? And when does it dissipate?

SSF2 question 14

Spoiler
  1. SSF2: Including new characters, how many new air throws were introduced in this game?
    Four: Zangiefs MP/HP air throw, Zangiefs MK/HK air throw, Cammys HP air throw, and Cammys HK air throw

Shouldn’t Ken, Claw and Fei also be on that list? Tho Fei is by default, since it was his first appearance.

SSF2 question 15

Spoiler
  1. SSF2: How many characters can perform more than one air attack while jumping?
    Five: Ryus j.LP xx air Hurricane Kick, Kens j.LP xx air Hurricane Kick, Chun Lis c.MK stomp followed by whatever, T.Hawks j.LP xx Condor Dive, and Vegas wall jump after an air attack to set up another air attack

Chun Li should also be on that list, right?

SSF2 question 16

Spoiler
  1. SSF2: Which of Kens Shoryukens has the most invincibility?
    HP Shoryuken (haha baited)

Doh! I got baited hard. LOL

18

Blitz she is :looney:

19

Never mind. LOL

20

Yeah this one was fun to write up. Though even my first draft had a bunch of missing answers. Anyway i was just trying to make it more interesting than hard. Hopefully it was enjoyable for ST veterans.

Both red and blue versions of his LP Hadoken disappear if you chase them from one end of the screen to the other. They have an animation for it and everything. If you start from the corner, it happens a couple of character lengths short of the opposite corner. Ken’s keep going forever cuz his fireball is OG.

Ken and Fei didn’t get their air throws until ST and Vega has had that air throw since CE - maybe even WW.

21

Wow, ok. Never knew that. It’s kinda weird that only Ryu’s Hadoken dissipates and not Ken (not to mention Sonic Boom, Max Out, Yoga Fire and Tiger Shot).

LOL I guess that goes to show you just how much I use Claw. Dang, I need to fire up that old SF2 Collection again. = J

22

nice quiz. that was fun.
