I just want to talk about ST and nothing new is posted.. and the 08/15/ ? of the day

Classic Fighting Games Super Street Fighter II Turbo
161

Ryu: O. Color is too bomb. CE/ST colors are great, screw you UltraDavid :mad: If I ever play N. Ryu, I use CE since back on Kaillera everyone seems to use the HF color. Plus Valle uses it so I don’t want to look like a jock-rider

Ken: HF Purple all day. It’s been an option in every SF game that Ken’s been in, must be popular enough of a color to warrant the ubiquity

Honda: Jab. Blue/Black, everything else kinda sucks

Chun: Almost all her colors are great except the dark green

Blanka: I only really dig the HF color

Gief: I like the red. All of his colors are great though

Guile: Everyone likes CE brown for whatever reason. I like Start White and HF Blue

Dhalsim: HF Black/Brown, but JCole already rocks it so I use Start Baby Blue/Pink lol

Balrog: I use the CE color since it matches the mis-colored icon they use in-game. Everything else except the Hold black looks terrible

Vega: RH blue/purple. A lot of great colors for such a terrible character

Sagat: RH blue/grey, similar to Ryu’s CE Color

Bison: Too many. I like CE green/orange since it hurts people’s eyes

Cammy: Jab, basically a less saturated version of her O color.

Dee Jay: I like the blue/black/greyish-purple, but Il use the Fierce Green since no one else seems to rock it online

Hawk: Pink hawk all day! No but seriously, the Alt O. Greyish-blue color rocks

Fei: RH Grey. The Strong Purple was pretty popular when the game was in arcades.

162

Ryu: Start costume gives you CLUTCH +1.
Guile: Start costume gives you SMILE +1.

Get it? No? Not that funny, right?

163

so damn annoying DeeJay has 3 green costumes. Really loved the original colours

164

I just LOL’d! :lol:

165

Does anyone else have prolems with the thows in this game. I fing hate these no startup sweep range command throws…and guile seems to have very short range one

166

This has been around since the first SF2 version, man. Zangief has never been a top tier character in SF2, still. As for Guile, his first sweep does not have a very good range, but one should not be using it too much in the first place. Most SF2 games, specially from CE to ST, are very much appreciated: Zangief’s SPD was not an issue at all. In fact, many did not mind losing often just so they could eventually smash people’s faces with that move.

167

Would anyone else play O. chars more if they could tech throws? I really like some of the O. chars a lot, esp Ryu, Ken, and Fei. The fact that they do not have a super is fine with me…but damn not being able to tech throws hurts. Wishful thinking and kind of out loud thinking on my part, but teching throws would be nice =]

168

I do not play O. chars very much, and a big reason is because they cannot tech throws. When I play against them, it’s a weakness that I try to exploit. But it’s hard to tick throw o. ken, and very strong o. ken players know that reversal dp beats anything. :frowning:

As a way to celebrate the new forum (yeah, right) I thought I’d give this gem of a thread a necro bump.

I know we have the Lounge thread (mostly offtopic) and the ST in da house thread (onpoint for ST), but I loved this thread back in its heyday as well. So let me pose a question or two for guys:

Who do you think has the best combos in the game? (and why?)
Now, “best” can be subjective here. You can define it as most damaging, most flashy, most challenging, etc.

I thought about this recently and I gotta award this one to Fei. He probably wins all of those categories I just listed.
Double fierce into rekka is just too godlike.

This new forum layout is making my eyes bleed. It confounds me how god awful it looks in its current state.

As far as “best” goes, I believe the best combos are the ones that can be used in a variety of situations and have a lot of utility during a match. For that reason, I award it to Ryu. Dude can combo off of any button he has, and he can do it at any range and situation where he holds frame advantage, and they always setup for the knockdown, where you have another opportunity to land combos. So while they may not have the best damage or stun ability, they’re far less situational, and practical in every match you play.

As far as badass combos go, Fei and O.Fei have it in spades. They got some serious stylish lookin combos that do beast damage.

171

I love Ryu, and I admit he is a very strong character. But I wouldn’t say combos are one of his strong points: even Ken has better combos*. Zangief and Chun Li have cool links. But I agree with Fuud: this would go to Fei.

*but his cross-up sort of sucks compared to Ryu’s.

Wow!!! I haven’t seen this thread in forever. ‘Thumbs up’ to Fudd. God Damn! I love this game. I was playing ST so much back then… All I wanted to do was either talk about it or play it! :smiley:

And now you play SFxTekken every night…

174

Did you mean Costa Rica?

175

Isn’t he supposed to do it? We’re in the SFxT section, after all!

176

Are we? I couldn’t tell in this clusterfuck of a forum system. It looks like we’re mixed in with Marvel1 and Marvel 2. Took me a good minute to find the SF2 and HDR sections.

177

Wizard told me that they’re working on fixing the ST section. I think it was supposed to be fixed last night but looks like it may take a little longer.

178

Oh man, getting burned all over!! ST brotha’s just taking their shots… No love, no respect in here for me! LOLz :stuck_out_tongue:

Ya’ll are haters!

Just kidding! :wink:

179

<P>Why are the avatars so small?  My beautiful avatar sucks now.  Ah well…</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I wish I could turn off signatures.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>My favorite combos are those crazy cross under combos that Cammy and Fei and Bison can (sometimes) do.  Cammy’s double Forward, crouch Forward, Super is just sick.  It’s very situational but one hell of an ass-whooping!  And very hard to block.</P>

If you happened across a genie who would improve your game in one of the following ways, which would you choose and why?
*Perfect execution
*Perfect safe jump timing
*Neutral jumps never result in landing on a fireball
