is there a thread for Anniversary Edition somewhere on SRK?
i thought the name jeff schaefer sounded familiar. are you the guy profiled in the following attachment? i scanned it from this one super sf2 guide i bought when i was like 7.
also, who’s Graham? apparently he’s the guy who wrote the guide i have but i’ve never heard his name mentioned before.
You should get that gangsta mug shot of Mike Watson. He looks like a hightimes OG gangsta!
from Cole’s response, I assume that double kick does NOT instantly get off the ground first frame… if it were the opposite, he could escape throw everytime with reversal scissors.
u mean this one (see attachment)? when i saw watson for the first time (a while back at family fun) i had no idea that was him cuz i was looking for a guy that matched the pic in my sf2 guide.
hehe! thats the one! straight outta compton! 
Yeah…time food and money change a person. He’s still crazy ass mike watson!
That picture!
hehehe
I guess I was supposed to be afraid when you said you’de spit in my face with your borken writing skills. Now I’m just crying!
Has anyone done these combos with CE Guile:
CR. Short x4, ST. Fierce
Renda Kara:CR. Short x3,ST. ShortxxFlash Kick
in corner:CR. Foward, close ST. FiercexxFlash Kick
Can anyone please explain in depth how these combos work?
Peace
Damn…
One thing I think is very immature is how old schoolers talk trash not only about anyone that dares profain their holy name and avoid stroking thier ego, but also about games that are outside thier expertise. Most of the old Schoolers save for Watson, Valle and the like dont touch 3S or SNk 2 the least, but for whatever reason also give absolutely insane reasoning as to why they don’t (such as parrying messing up the game) and faulting the otherwise prime elements that allowed SF and capcvom fighters to evolve at all. I appreciate SSf2T more than any other fighter, but I’de never go as far as to say games like 3S and SNK are less skill based etc.
Oh well.
They don’t like the new skillsets required to play said game, and they have somewhat of a point. A lot of the things added do cheapen what is the “essence” of SF (namely, the ground game and fireball trap balance)
That being said- the new school has some good stuff too, it’s just more often buried behind BS like Valle CC’s, RC’s, parries, and stuff like that.
A lot of people would say that parries do mess up a game the waythey’re implemented in SF3. It’s not an insane argument, or a good portion of this board (not the majority, but enough) would be crazy.
It’s a valid argument.
in my opinion parry in 3s in a double edged sword. the only place that it is unbalanced is when there is a rift between the players skill level (but that can be said for any game and it goes without saying). if someone is getting their ass parried to hell, it’s because they don’t understand the parry. people who parry frequently or are just throwing it out are asking for a beating.
Yeah, I understand what you both are saying and agree somewhat, it’s just that I feel that, with the exception of RCs, the new elements introduced during and after the Alpha series really helped to fix a lot of broken and cheap shit IMO. O. Sagat and Ryu traps were just annoying as fuck, and I really don’t consider that skill. The new gameplay features helped players get out of shit that otherwise would be a test of true patience. I think they enhanced the games more than a lot of new school players are willing to admit.
I’ve always preferred the simplicity of SF2: Turbo and the console versions of SSF2 (Xband!) to the complexity of newer games in the series. I never got into super moves, air blocking, blah, blah, blah. I guess I’m not hardcore.
i really like the Meat and Potatoe style of SFII: AE and i REALLY enjoy the mind games of 3s. i am not a fan of anything in-between, but respect those who find them entertaining.
WTF? All this big talk and no results from the matches? LAME. Why is it i never see anyone who’s actually good at these games talking shit? When was the last time that guy who’s really good @ MvC2 (Justin Wang or whatever) coem here and talk shit? People with real skill dont need the ego boost i guess.
What results? What matches?
You and those other 2 douches A-Dhalslim and Jeff LAkuma whatefver. Whathappened? I thought i was watching Days of OUr lives with all the drama you people post.
I got beat 20 times with that CE Bison crap. It works, it’s not intuitive which way to block especially if your opponent mixes it up.
I’m very old school and must admit that the new stuff in EX or alpha really put me off the game. I actually stopped playing street fighter for a few years and swapped over to the SNK games, which were more like the old sf.
But then again, when I played 3s for the first time (which was online), I loved it. The amount of skill and concentration that I have to put into that game is more than I ever had to do for the older street fighters. I might be wrong, but I find 3s to be more reflex based while HF is mainly my strategy Vs your strategy which is probably why some characters in HF just cannot better others (CE bison VS dhalsim?)
