Got a couple questions…

I played CVS2 for a little while when it was released, but i dropped it and I am trying to pick it up again with S-groove. But I was wondering what are some of the new ways to play it I guess. Like, strats and ways people have changed the way the game is played now. Like, is there more footsies now? It seems the game has become more of a slowed pace then it used to be. I guess I don’t want to be using 2001 strats in 2004 lol…

What’s a dragon punch?

[System_1]

a shoryuken

if ppl say dp k
it means shoryuken motion using kick.

forward ,down dorward punch = dragon punch with ryu, ken akuma etc…

[popoblo]

is there an article somewhere on the 2P throw glitch that could be added? or if someone could explain it properly, that would add something worthwhile to this thread. i have an idea of what it is, just not exactly sure how to put it into words and what exceptions there are.

peace

If P2 knocks his opponent down so that their head is sticking out of the corner, any move P2 does that is in the air and can get over P1’s prone body will put P2 into the corner.

A bunch of throws set this up. That’s pretty much the main way to set up the glitch. Not everybody has a throw that sets it up but most do.

The other way (comes up far less frequently) is to be cornered, your opponent jumps, you get under and behind them then knock them out of the air… they are hit into the corner, but they land as if they were hit from the front… hard to phrase it any other way but to say it hits them so that their head is sticking out of the corner = P2 glitch setup.

In the game, each character has two avatars during character selection. Depending on what groove you select, you either get the more fiercesome character or the less fiercesome one. Does the avatar matter (does the character become better if you select a groove that makes him look tougher)?

Also, if you play the computer, sometimes you face a souped up Akuma after the final stage in Osaka. What triggers this since he doesn’t pop up every time you face him (even if you faced Geese or Bison and haven’t had to restart)?

yes, the more “fiercesome” ones get a damage increase of 5%. that’s why capcom grooves (CAP) are better than SNK grooves because they clearly look more fiercesome. thus, SNK grooves are for pussies due to the lack of fiercesomeness.

don’t believe him!

SNK grooves are clearly more fiercesome. I mean all the characters are laughing AT you! clearly SNK grooves are the grooves that get the 10% bonus by trashing you just by being there.

wow…

slipkid: i can’t tell if your post was serious or not.

so i’ll answer it…

NO, AVATARS DO NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

and i’ll request that you think more about what you write, before you post it.

shhhhhhhhhh, it’s plain to see that capcom characters get a 5% damage increase due to the fiercesomeness of the avatar. come on man, i thought everybody knew that. and noodleman, they’re laughing because they’re pussies, plain and simple. it’s a reverse psychology thing to make themselves feel better.

Gamecube: I don’t know exactly for sure, but it should be exactly the same as the XBox version. I’ve heard random rumors about stuff like Sagat not being able to buffer supers off of his low fierce, haven’t had a chance to check them though.

This is true.

[System_1]

How do you use Reversals? I don’t mean the specials that grab opponent like Geese’s, but making any move like Shoryuken a Reversal?

If there’s any general questions that I’ve missed, list em here and I’ll add em in.

• this is TRUE I know gc version of cvs2 fairly well … its all I have at home, you CANNOT cancel sagat’s crouching fierce punch to any super. There’s also other differences in this version out there …
