Awesome, thanks.
Can I combo a close standing forward strong after neutral strong on corner hit like I can in ST?
Does Blanka have an instant dizzy combo?
And is it just me or is Blanka’s jumping short way less effective in this incarnation?
Yes, close standing Strong-> towards or back+Strong (the headbutt) is a combo in CE.
Cross-up jumping Strong-> close standing Strong x 2-> crouching Fierce has very high percentage of dizzying. You should probably check T.Akiba’s data to see just who will actually be stunned after this combo.
Also, try cross up jumping Strong-> close Standing Strong-> headbutt for a similar results.
The jumping Short still has its usefulness: anti-Psycho Crusher, anti-Killer Head Ram, setting up tick throws etc., but without the easy cross-up ability of the ST version and the combos and mix-ups that can lead from that, then, yes, it probably is weaker.
Hey, some friends and I want to go traveling in China to play games out there. Can someone tell me more about the CE scene out there. I heard in some arcades they soft ban throwing.
Soft ban? Does that mean you’re only allowed a certian number of throws in a round or something?
probably means if you throw someone they get a free throw/combo on you.
That’s pussy. If you can’t handle the simple throw/attack mixup in Champion Edition then don’t play.
Chill dude, some countries are well known for wacky rules in games, and is seen as a must by them. Take Korea for example they play weird broken games over there which most others don’t. I know SS4 is or was quite big out there, and they enforced all kinds of rules, stuff like you can’t do the same CD combo twice and stuff even crazier.
I guess for them it makes the games more balanced, enjoyable and makes the games lifespan longer as you suddenly got all these restrictions making you think up new tactics.
also going off topic here, but needs to be said. Try playing a game like ST without using throws for awhile, you’ll probably find that your zoning, footsies, and mind games will improve, as you attempt to keep your opponent from throwing you and find new ways of scoring hits at close range.
He has a point, a solid one too
Yes i agree somewhat, ticks and throw skanks are simple in CE, but can be really difficult to get out of.
people still play ce?? wtf?? that game has invisible wall on one side, easy bison redizzy, bison auto block jab then phsycho crusher over and over… hf is overall a much much better game, just wondering what you like about ce??

I like it better than Hyper Fighting because of the major speed difference and in HF Capcom gave the characters moves they didnt need to be successful.
Ex.) Air hurricane kick with Ryu and Ken, Blankas vertical roll, Chuns fireball, Dhalsim’s teleport ect.
Although some of the moves did help alot, like Gief’s turbo lariet and Balrogs turn punch gained invincible frames, but you still dont need these moves to be successful in CE.
Bison can be hard but not impossible to beat.
Speed is the main thing I don’t like about Hyper.
It’s a matter of preference.
SF2ce will always be best for old shool players like me.
don t mind watts, he s a newbie to the sf scene. he just got into sf about a year or two ago and thinks he knows what s up with the old school .
:smokin: :razz: 
What i find funniest is that Watson shows up 6 months later, “hey you guys are playing CE? WTF?”
yeah, i dont really read up too much stuff… not really into the whole forum thing. just come in to bash idiots once in a while 
i just think HF is a much better balanced game and the speed of the game requires quicker reactions. nothing much, just my opinion. have fun and keep the old games alive.

Any new information, korea?
As soon as possible(maybe this month?), we’re going to live cast sf2ce gaming in ‘WORLD SF2CE HOMEPAGE’.

These days, we already have broadcasting lively free on internet,
but you need to log in a site and download a special player.(free broadcast)
(If you know Korean, 1. register 2. download player 3. find “??” in player.)
But we’re going to have our own server (normal computer ; not so good - may have difficulty to cast too many viewers) and a internet circuit, then you just need to make ‘windows media player’ to be basic player in you computer.(check in player option)
