Evo HDR results = proof of a great game

If you had trouble doing moves in OG ST, chances are you aren’t going to do well in HDR.

Well I’m among the camp who had a hard time with the CW motion. IMO, I thought the motion was complete bullshit. One of many reasons I never got into ST. It was very difficult to do on pad (I was a pad player in the past) and failing to do the move results in an accidental jump or forward + HK to come out. I think its obvious that ST was designed around Arcade Sticks as moves are impractical on pad.

Now in HDR, I don’t have to worry about whether or not moves will come out and just concentrate on the fight.

As far as me not doing well in HDR if you couldn’t do the moves in ST (Since I apparently fall into that category), I’ll have to let the players I fight decide. :nunchuck:

I think he got worse overall. He has a slightly easier way to get in, but once he gets in his options aren’t as scary as they were before. Kind of like Hawk but on a smaller scale since Fei isn’t completely worthless in HDR.

I have to respectfully disagree. Getting in is almost the same as ST, but staying in is what makes him scary in a different way from his ST counterpart. It’s possible to do things upclose thanks to LK CW that you wouldn’t dare try in ST out of fear that a projectile would smack you in the face and push you back.

If your opponent attempts to jump out of being pressured, he/she risk being caught by an CW out of the air which leads to flame kick juggle for decent damage. Catching people out the air with CW into flame kick happens more often than a Fei player landing a CW combo in ST.

I dunno, I never had any problems with CWs on pad. Actually, I have a harder time doing them on a stick than on a pad. What pad do you use? If you play on a standard dual shock/360 controller yeah I could see why you have a hard time pulling the old motion off.

Yeah I used the PS2 controller and practiced in Anniversary Edition on PS2. I play on stick now, but going to Classic Mode in HDR and ST on GGPO with a stick (I just signed up on GGPO about a week ago) I still have a hard time doing it consistently. It’s a little easier for me on stick, but it’s still a pain in the ass.

Yeah, PS2 controllers aren’t very good for SF. I’ve always used pads with “floating” directionals, and CW / 360s / TKs aren’t that hard on those, you just need some practice at first. I currently use this one and I’m loving it. Good d-pad and the analogs have square “restrictors”, seems made by a SF fan lol.
