man, I used to love playing EX yuri and Ryo. Sigh. . . those were the days.
It was her fucking ambiguous free crossup that made her good IMO.
like someone said earlier, this was the game that got me back into street fighter. i played this game every day until my local arcade closed down.
snk groove ken – abuse the shoryureppa juggle + finish off with shinryuken.
Dude Ken was just as worthy as ryu… He had soo much easy damage, and way more ways to use super than ryu. I’d say that Ken is probably better than ryu overall though it’s too bad his fierce dp isn’t better.
I’d say the best Ratio ones should be of course Dhaslim, Ex Yuri and move king out of honorable mention and into top tier, roll+sweep+cr.fp+lvl 1 super of god is free wins all day.
But I’d say after that you really need to put in Blanka in there, grab into super lvl 2 or 3 is wayyy too buff. Combos into cr.mk into a ball that knocked the fuck down = wayyyyy to buff and I don’t remember for sure but I think you could still do some good elec cross up cheese.
Nice.
Since the B5 Alpha 3 stuff was OKd to be put online, someone should really upload a few of the CvS1 matches somewhere, if only for posterity. Even people who don’t play the game would get a kick out of the finals and Chikyuu’s Raiden, if nothing else.
CvS1 makes me nostalgic. Back when I had an arcade to go to. I swear I’m picturing the Birdcage Game Room and smelling old smells right now for some reason .
CvS came out back when there were 1 or 2 new Capcom fighting games coming out every year, still. Not so much anymore…
Does anyone by chance know where to find any latest match vids of this game? i know Orochinagi.com has some old ones, but some latest ones are what I’m looking for.
A few questions tho-
1- What are the Tiers?
2- What’s the difference between Guile and his EX ver.?
Tiers are a little hard… I don’t know someone will have some different Ideas, but I’ll do 2, tier by ratio (unless noted that both are good when I mention an ex or a regular over another character it means I don’t think you should play the other version) and then like a few of the top top characters.
Ratio 1
Dhalsim (ex or regular), Ex Yuri, King(debatable), Blanka, EX Vice, Ex Beni(Debatable), Sakura, Cammy
Ratio 2 (sorry if I forget someone)
Nak, Ex Balrog, Ken + Guile, Ryu + Ryo, Kyo+Iori, Kim, Ex? which one had rekkas?Raiden, Terry, Ex Terry (both are worth mentioning for various reasons),Morrigan, Zangief, EX Honda
Ratio 3
Yamazaki (either?), M.Bison(regular, zomg super), Ex Geese, Vega
Ratio 4
Akuma, Evil Ryu, Evil Iori
Ex Guile gets only the flash kick super, but gets the awesome guile ducking strong with a dwnB(f?) crouch fp generally considered worse, but many a person has made a game out of just how awesome the dwB(f?) crouching fp.
Basically Mix and Match with a weighting system where the lower your ratio the better except with an expential negative growth the lower you get into each ratio’s specific Teir List and you have your characters that are good list. Of course this is a little debateable but it’s how I view it.
Shiki speaks truth. Gief’s next best appearance would be in A3. A-Gief is NOTHING to fuck with. Same goes for V-Gief.
That was another thing that made her good. She had some many different tools to use in a match, she was basically unstoppable.
Here is what you need to know about CvS tiers,
Nak > You
She will eat your soul
ex sim shouldnt be tiered at the top, he loses all the things that make sim good in this game, like yoga stream super (good for antiair from far away if they committed to a jumping attack, yoga blast super at lvl2 and 3, b. fierce for antiair, and jump back fierce for air to air which is godly. EX Yuri, no argument there, shes just as good if not better than sim. King falls somewhere in the middle, both normal and ex versions are good. normal version had godly flashkick super which is safe and spammable and combos and links off everything. EX King has easier midscreen bnb (c. short, low jab x2, into her rapid fire kick, into dp+k or fb super. Everything else I pretty much agree with. Cammy shouldnt be the absolute worst, i think that would go to sakura, both her normal and EX versions have uses (normal has long combos, ex sakura has easy link - low short low jab standing fierce into fierce dp.
imo should be something more like nak/guile/exrog/ryu for the top tier. Ken is decent, but ryu’s shinshoryuken alone ranks him waaay above ken in his game, its too good. Rog is decent but has a disadvantage against Guile, his sonic boom and sobat kick control the pace of the fight for the most part. After that its really hard to ier. EX Kim, Raiden (this char won B5), EX Terry, Morrigan, and EX Honda (2 hit headbutt) all have their specific uses for sure.

Ratio 3
Yamazaki (either?), M.Bison(regular, zomg super), Ex Geese, Vega

Your list forgot Sagat but its cool…EX Sagat and Yama def should be at the top of this list, for the most part everyone after that isnt worth playing for the most part.
no argument there.
normal guile’s sobat kick makes him better than ex guile - and so does his opening gamit super, both moves are too good. low strong is buff, but doesnt outweigh these two factors. for the most part, your tier list is a good point of reference tho!
if i had to rank chars without ratio heres how i see it (for top tier only, after that it gets a little murky
Nakoruru, Guile, EX Yuri, Dhalsim, EX Rog are imo top 4 in this game for sure, everyone had 1 of these chars on their team come tourney time for the most part as well.
EX Yuri and Guile fight Nak really well, for the sole fact that they give her shitloads of trouble on the ground, and they have options when she takes to the air as well. EX Yori has c fp for anticrossup, s. rh for ground game, if nak lands a combo and goes for crosup, her running super in EX will get her out of this situation. It’s pretty dope because she doesnt have to burn meter. Guile sobat will fuck her up as well, if she takes to the air early c.fp and his long roll fucks her shit up. Of course i’m oversimplifying it a lot nd Nak is still the best char in the game, but its def not free by any means. The best Nak player (Ricky) was just hella broken, lol.
[ot]IMO SFEX+a was Gief’s best version. No missed throw animation, brick wall of pokes (that sweep, my god), only hokuto can reliably beat him, FAB can grab out of oppnents blockstun. [/ot]
I did enjoy CvS1. I still remember the excitement when the game first came into the arcade. It used to annoy me that Rugal was so shit. I used to play EX Geese/King
Like people have said, the presentation is better than in cvs2. Lots of people I know to this day still get a kick out of seeing the car accident stage.
I have to get a hold of the soundtrack. The music is just too good.
I convinced to acquire this game again
Yo, you plan on coming to any more C3, had some fun casuals (CVS2)…that place needs some A/C and carpet though…bleh
Too many memories playing that game. First time I played it in the arcades I didn’t know you could roll, got beat down by some guy’s Yuri and his crew laughed at me.
I think he won using R4 Evil Ryu actually. But either way, it’s very impressive.
that tier list forgot Rugal D:
Raiden (or was it EX Raiden) and EX Balrog were beasts. EX Balrog is the closest Boxer will come again to his ST glory days.
Speaking of which–I thought it was neat that EX Chun and EX Honda had their “stored” super from ST intentionally added into the game. Also EX Vega’s super works exactly like his ST version in that it doesn’t use meter unless you actually land it.
I thought the EX character system was a good idea, but it seems like it was a little tacked on simply because Capcom couldn’t decide between different versions of SNK characters (KOF or Garou Terry? 95’ Kyo or 98’ Kyo?). The Capcom EX characters could’ve used a bit more thought into them, as most of them just ended up being worse versions of their ST incarnations.
I recently downloaded it on my PSP, but deleted it within a month because I remembered (from back when I played it on PS1) it’s roster was horrendous…
about zangief, he really was damn good in this game. i remember seeing zangief do a max final atomic buster on cammy and that shit took out her entire life bar. funniest thing i saw that day. 
finally found it.
