No vids of US SF's 'Golden Era' & best_ever player!?

thanks

heh too bad you didn’t experience Gian’s Dhalsim last evo.

Hey Jeff. In this thread: http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68090&page=7&highlight=schaefer

you mentioned something about writing a book with Tomo with footage included. What ever became of that project?

the only '93 footage I have is this SF2 Turbo tourney from Korea.

This thread is pure gold. Reading Jeff’s post and watching him handle Daigo’s Sagat brought a rush of nostalgia, although I never saw any play of that level in person back in the old-school era (I know that vid was AE, but still…)

As for that commercial, seeing that dude say that the Genesis version was even better than the arcade still cracks me up. It’s twice as authentic when you have half the buttons :clap:

thanks

Is there anything specific you and rest of the oldschool crew did to develop/maintain your freakish reaction time (besides play the shit out of SF), or is that just a genetic trait that can’t be taught?

oh god
can someone PLEASE upload these jeff vs daigo videos???

www.rapidshare.de

or any free hosting site!

PLEASE!

i am dying to see old, old school
!

Yes, I’d like to know this as well… I’ve been training my reflexes for a while now so I can be able to execute moves faster and more efficiently.

oh shit so that’s who you are. weren’t you in the ST guide?

Have fun.

Jeff

jeff is my homie irl. we still play DOTA together believe it or not. reactions are a skill that can be honed but i believe some are more gifted than others in this region. anyhow, i do have a commercial i would like to share. hope you all get a kick out of it like i did. and im 100% sure none of you have seen it. 100%

Well, the SNES version did have better music.
They pimped the fuck out of Ken, Blanka, Sagat, and Balrog’s themes.
I loved the chill remix of Sagat’s theme. I still prefer it to the original.

More oldschool sharing. This is the most comprehensive WW bugvid, from the now defunct CLN1.com. I knew some of these, freeze, handcuff magic throw etc… but had never seen Guile flying off the screen beating people up!:

AFAIK those were the only copies of the matches. If someone has a higher quality version of those matches please share.

Thanks for posting those up ShinjiGoha. I really liked the vid you had in the AE folder ‘KurtvsVietHSF2AE_1.mpg’. Was cool seeing Hyper Blanka in action. Do you have any more of these?

Is that the snes one? Where they have that wierd cartoon head commentary on the replays? Would be cool to share that.

Haha, you mean the Mean Machines SF2 video with Julian Rignall and Gary Harrod? “Dragon punches ahoy, Combos a’plenty!”

Lol, no shit, I remember that. I remember they had SF2 challenges on Games Master, I think with Julian Rignal commentary!

Man, I was talking with someone about Tomo Ohira a week ago or so. I never saw him play; he’s pretty much legendary. The kind of character that doesn’t hold back on anyone (which is what he is known for).

It’s not a character trait that is valued anymore. The advent of MvC2 and roll cancelling makes it so everyone has to try their best or just never get to play. I’m not quite sure why that is.

The Internet’s really spoiled people, I think. Most people don’t even know who Tomo Ohira is unless they’ve seen Sirlin’s website, or happen upon this thread. Maybe this is just Street Fighter or a game or whatnot, but a lot of SRK guys would do well to learn by his example.

Mr. Schaeffer, I’ve said it before, but it’s good to see you posting again. bows

…ohgodimsuchafag…

Jeff: My offer to host video still stands. Any old school footage you have, I can get hosted, and I can even capture it for you if you don’t have the time.

I know a couple of people were wanting higher quality encodings of those matches with Daigo, and I can take care of that for you too if you can send a copy of the tape. I can even pay for shipping.

It seems that SF: AE videos are a rarity. Do you guys know where I can find more AE match vids?

Jeff,

Do you have any other vids of your Blanka vs Daigo or anyone else other than the one that was posted? I’d like to see ST Ryu vs Turbo Blanka.

i love hearing about old school shit in general… just reminds us all of better times methinks…

anyway… i was always told that HF ken is a better overall character than HF ryu… can you validate this jeff, or call it out as bs? thanks in advance.

Could you clarify, I really didn’t get your connection. Tomo never held back, which isn’t valued anymore. Now everyone must try their best or else they don’t play. :wtf:
