I never had a problem with this game and wish they would have HD’d/Remixed this one instead of crap super turbo.
Many would consider that statement blasphemy.
That was golden!
Ya, those that would consider that statement blasphemy are the same people who weren’t that good at Hyper Fighting and the older SF2s…
This game isn’t as “broken” as some people cry it out to be, I mean for real, if you’ve played CvS2 (Fucking Blanka or Cammy Hello!), A2 (Chun, Rose, Ken, Ryu?!), A3 (Sim, Gouki???), MvC2 (Big 4???) or any other on a competitive level once before and trying to cry that AE is too broken is the most fucking retarded thing I’ve ever heard.
CE. Dictator was never as bad as people boast him too be (good Shoto’s and Guiles will ass rape a good CE. Dictator when played correctly, I saw this shit go down alot during the height of CE, and it really must be a lost form to current players today, because it seems everybody forgot that good zoning, spacing, footsies will beat out Dictator), hell, I’d be more fearful of really good CE. Ryu’s and Guile’s over Dictator, because their zoning, footsie games when played correctly is far more dangerous then any dizzy combo setups Dictator could ever do.
Another thing is, although CE. Dictator in AE does more damage, he is not as beastly as the arcade version, and the simple notions are that blocked Psycho Crusher is only 4 hits on AE while at the CE arcade it was a devastating 6 hits on block.
Sure, damage is the exact same on block, however those 3 extra hits on block do absolute wonders in lockdowns, and simply makes his game that much better, not to mention the slower speed also benefits Dictator alot as well.
However, the idea that only OG SFII characters do good damage is laughable, considering, the ST characters do almost as much damage as the old characters, in fact, the ST characters do even more damage then the HF cast. The WW characters although they overall deal more damage then the ST characters, almost all of them are trash besides Guile, not to mention the WW cast overall seem to move slower then the rest of them.
If you look at it as a whole, only four CE characters really stand out, and that’s Ryu, Guile, Dictator, Sagat, and to a lesser extent, Claw. After that, you’ve got solid running characters from HF with Blanka (Vertical roll on block into throw is full of lol), Ken, Gief as examples (Has everyone forgotten that c.mk into SPD on block rapes?), and you still have the powerhouses of ST with Sim, Rog, Chun etc, etc.
The idea of this game being broken is again, garbage, when in contrast to the stated above FG’s, the amount of playable characters is roughly the same, if not better then. However, I feel that the real reason this game gets more hate then usual, is the fact that most players today are simply not used too, or don’t/haven’t played much against Cps-1 chain characters, which is the real factor.
Why is this still a discussion? We were given HD Remix so that SF2 would not get booted from the lineup, it’s what’s being played. Period.
necroooooooooooo
I don’t think that anyone was actually arguing that the game is broken. The issue was just that it was significantly less balanced than ST.
(I don’t want to get into the whole balance vs. fun argument or the HF vs. ST argument or any of that shit… I just wanted to help clarify this one thing!)
Good stuff… Also, Champion Edition Bison doesn’t even have his old, slide in re-dizzy combo either.
True that
I wanted to bring up this topic again for a few questions maybe someone can answer, as I didn’t see answers in this thread. I read several other threads, but maybe somebody knows the answers since there’s so many versions of this game. edit: I answered some of these through the Wiki page
-
The CapKore version (Korean version) of AE HSF2 is for the arcade version right? I don’t see this on the web. I only see the Asia and Japan version. Is CapKore = Asia version?
The CapKore version is the Japanese PS2 home port of AE. All arcade versions of this game are without fixes -
As for home ports, is the Japanese Xbox version the same as the CapKore version? I have the Japanese xbox version as an import. Was this the version used at Evo 2k6?
**The Japanese Xbox version is identical to the arcade, not the PS2 version that has fixes. ** -
From what it sounds like, this game isn’t popular just because CE versions are too strong?
???
Many thanks. I hope this may answer questions for others who want to run an AE tournament of their own.
The answer to all you questions is you are still with HDR and HDR only.
