I will never accept changes to Arcade ST. I’m sure STHD will be fun and great and all, but it will never replace this game. Arcade ST: The Last of the Purity!
And ST even has its own sub forum on srk! Crazy!
Old men unite!
That’s what classic mode is for. 
^^amen.
Though I’m flying the flag for HDR and I hope people really make an effort to learn the game. The fact that we will effectively have the DC version (the standard at the moment) on new hardware is pretty damn awesome. So we could easily go back to it if HDR doesn’t take off.
Word up.
Gonna play both here mang so no need to resist. And yes I am an old mang
I can’t wait for threads and threads of complaints about how classic mode =/= arcade ST…
Remix mode is just for fun to me. I don’t think I will get serious with it. Vanilla ST is where it’s at, baby!
It is simple.
If the game is shit, I will not play it. You shouldn’t play with shit…
If the game ends up being fun, balanced, and can provide a quality player base, I’ll play it. (But you bet your ass I’ll still play classic mode when the opportunity arrises!)
It is pretty much somed up this way : Wherever the best quality players play, I’ll play. It is no fun beating scrubs all day. It’s a waste of time.
If you’re looking for some reall old school quality game play, then play on GGPO. There is top notch players there. Giga, Jodim, Jesse, Alex, Cigar Bob, Graham, and several other top Japanese / US players play there. I am sure if HD is subpar they’ll still play there. I konw I will!
Serious question, who is Jesse and what is his GGPO name so I can spectator-stalk him?
Look for the tag: JumpSuit. (I am pretty sure that is it). He plays Fei Long.
jesse is mad cool. I’ve had ggs wit him every time.
Thanks man, another one to study up on, and enjoy I guess.
hd remix is pretty fun, but vanilla st will always be my fave!!
I find it kinda sad that some guys are interested in now HD when they didn’t give a shit about ST before.
I also don’t think the game needed all those changes. ST is a very good game as it is, and that’s why it’s still played today after all those years.
HD remix is fun though, and I adapted to it quicker than I thought (I still have problems with spacing my crossups right). But this will not make me buy a next gen console (I don’t have one at the moment), and ST will remain my reference for “serious” playing.
Hey, let me join the club! I’m glad to see people not jumping on the bandwagon and ditching ST altogether. It will certainly be interesting to see how HD Remix affects (divides?) the global ST community. General consensus is that Japan won’t really touch it or take it seriously, thanks to their established, high level arcade scene and relatively low console penetration. Will it split the community? Will people be stuck choosing between a classic and something that’s undeniably good? Is Akuma broken – and will he ironically end up banned for tournaments? … Time will tell. 
ST:HD is awesome. I’m glad SF2 is getting all this attention now, seriously it’s an awesome thing to happen to our game. Newcomers are great for everyone: more tourney attendees, more comp overall, relaxing evenings pwning xbl scrubs that berate you for throwing. The old ST was truely a prolific and amazing game and still is- it lasted as a fun competitive game for a long time. So far I like most of the changes, but even if in the long run the game is equally unbalanced I’m just grateful my favourite game got released in this way, for cheap and with the best commercial netcode I’ve seen. Also blanka is better now so I’m biased.

I never participate in these largely pointless threads, kinda fun.
–off topic–
you can do that? just spec somebody?
I saw somebody named jhow(some numbers) and somebody named jumpsuit, same guy? Jesse Howard.
edit lol, thought this was on the HDR forums, muscle memory had me click over to these ones.
I love EVERYTHING about this post. I agree with everybit. :tup:
However, I could not resist… I bought a NGen for the game… Hey man ,I have to feed the need…
Yaa I only get myself in trouble when I post about this. Agree with the Professor. Sent you a PM dude.
I nag him there cause I was trying to get my little project done but Valle is precisely right on that point.
EDIT: oh classic mode is fine. Old sprites on new backgrounds a little goofy but it plays great. I’m not one of those cats who’s picky about ports though. PS1, CCC2, ST-only HSF2, HDClassic, DC, fuckin’ laptop games. Don’t care.
I vote that we all acquire matching purple robes to wear when we get together to play original ST in some kind of underground cave.
Like the Stonecutters on the Simpsons or those floating monks in Mortal Kombat 2.
Also we’ll have to call each other by creepy cult names. I’ll be Brother Boom.
I will be brother Yellow Head.
