Playstation 2 (Hyper Street Fighter II Anniversary Edition, only the ST characters will be addressed)
This version has not been thoroughly tested, but the known differences are:
-O.Sagat’s Tiger Shots have been toned down considerably
-Ken, Dhalsim, and Sagat can do reversal supers (which they can not in the arcade version)
-Claw’s wall dives are way too hard to do (they just randomly won’t come out), but using the release method seems to work more consistently
-if an ST character is facing a non-ST character, the ST character can not tech the throws (in ST, New characters can tech Old characters’ throws)
afaik there could be numerous other changes the CE and hyper versions and WW have on AE from their arcade counterparts not yet discovered.
but then this is AE, a whole different game then ST so changes from ST shouldn’t be much of a concern.
I dont think that this should break down to the differences from HSF to ST.
HSF is its own game and should be left alone. Play it the way it is or dont play it at all. Its not like the ST players wont have a choice at evo. Ill be having more then enough ST to please every one.
I don’t know that the xbox version is much different, i think NKI was just saying that he tested the ps2 one.
I don’t see the xbox ae being used ppl prefer ps2, and ps2 already can be used for cvs2 and tekken, so it seems like ps2 is the better choice. I can’t say for sure though.
i think the best to do for hsf2 for this upcoming evo is to;
**1.**play hsf2 in turbo3 (now im talking about hsf2 for xbox speed, i guess its the same for ps2 aswell) which is as close you can come to the speed which has been played in ST for all these years. i know hsf2 aint ST, but why change the speed of sf2 if you aint gonna play turbo3… turbo1 and turbo2 is slowmo compared to ST, and turbo4 is way to fast… just play the god damn sf2 in same speed as its always been played in?? (ST)
**2.**ban ww chars (not because they are broken or anything like that or bla bla whatever ppl thinks) just ban the god damn ww chars becuase you cant pick same chars innit… unless! someone can hack the god damn game and make it possible to choose 2 ww guiles vs. eachother. why even discuss this? just ban ww!?
yeah i’d say for simplicity, stick to the ps2 version of AE since people already own sticks and converters for ps2 and we don’t need huge ass xboxes taking all over the place, and etc. As for the speed, I also feel turbo 2 is hecka slow and it should be turbo 3.
as for WW, i think a coin flip is going to be used to see who gets first pick.
so if 2 guys has ww guile as main char and gonna play eachother in the tourney, whoever loses the coinflip loses his main char, what is he gonna pick then? CE Guile or just whoever he likes except ww guile?
You know, I don’t understand why everyone is bitching about WW characters. Only WW character even worth picking is guile… and that’s not Even that good. Guile slaughtered everyone in WW b/c no one else was worth picking. When other chars got beefed up in CE/HF, guile got pulled back into the pack. Still a good character though.
Let’s see, by picking WW Guile you get
1.Redizzy combo w/ jabs (i think this is fat characters only?)
2. Flash kick safe on landing.
You also get
Whacky sonic boom speed. Speed depends on last punch thrown, not actual buttom press.
I said it before, if you use a ww character, learn one counter matchup to pick if you lose the toss. You only need to learn one matchup with another character, AND you get to counterpick it. Now, what are ww guile’s worst matchups?
