I play Honda and do pretty much just as well whether playing ST or HDR, I also used to co-main Chun back in arcade days (still like to use O.Chun in ST) and I think studtrooper had a point, Chun Super should have been toned down some. I do think she should have gotten O.Chun’s SBK to help compensate. The HDR SBK has uses but it’s very situational amd hard to set up.
I don’t think that anyone is putting down ST, I still love ST but there are some things about it that are dumb and needed changed (Claw, Boxer,O.Sagat). That doesn’t mean that HDR got everything right either (Akuma, Zangief) but it is a step in the right direction. I like having to actually try beat Fei and Cammy players now, for instance, LOL. I just wish we could all work together to keep moving in the right direction, keep things HDR did right, work on things that could be better and move SF2 forward instead of fighting and holding it back.
Zaspacer, since you made this thread are playing ST/HDR any thrse days? Haven’t ran into you anywhere in forever, would love to play you again.
I am not really playing HDR or ST much these days. I have a weak internet connection currently, so I don’t bother with online play. And for offline, I only have been playing infrequently at tournaments (Revelations being the latest, and then EVO before that), though I am generally more focused on helping run events than on playing.
I am sure that sooner or later I will be back to spending a lot of time playing SF2 again, but I don’t know when offhand. But it would be fun to get some games in with ya again.
I don’t know if CapCom will tackle a follow-up patch or full sequel to HDR. But it’s good to have direct and accurate feedback from the customers on what they want most if it ever happens.
Regarding “gonna happen” outside of a CapCom effort, this post in the ST forum came out after I posted the initial post in this thread. Basically it covers that the poster (Born2SPD) can now reproduce HDR (or any base gameplay modified version of ST) on an emulator at a gameplay level (no new graphics).
Indeed. HDR is pure, joke garbage, and I just want a refund basically. Coulda spent the points on something way cooler, like Radiant Silvergun, or some more VF costumes. Of course, as a download only game, we’re stuck with it, nice huh? Same deal with 3s. If these disasters were physical releases, they’d be traded back in at the shops en masse, and that’s a fact. Even the highest ranked player admits above that Zangief is flawed. Helloooooooo Mr Sirlin?
Enjoy your horrible game now largely populated by 35 year old losers smiling away as they press buttons on a programmed controller. Most tragicomic sub-scene I’ve ever seen on Live.
LOL. Chances are very good there’s at least 3 HDR players in this thread that could hand you your ass in ST or HDR. Go complain to the ST forum, you’re contributing nothing here.
More “forgiving buffering” like in Soulcalibur. - Simultaneous grabs cancel instead of just going random. There’s a lot more I’d like to change, like Chun’s Upkick which should be upgraded to a point where it can be used as a decent reactionary reversal.
