Yeah, which is why I said “100% damage” rather than “infinite” since your foe will be long dead before you can even do 2 reps of that =/

I’d be interested to know why Alex is down on your list. He’s basically the same as he is in third strike except no DDT and an easy way to combo into boomerang raid (which has a very small meter).

IMO next gen and 2nd Impact plays like a true sf game more than 3S. I would say 2nd impact is the ST of the sf3 series. Everyone is good in 2nd impact IMO.

my 0.02

What is the window of parry opportunity for both games? I know 3s is like 16 and the previous two are more strict. Anyone know?

If you’re talking about frames 3S parry window is 10 frames. Slightly less if you dont return the stick to neutral immediately after hitting forward/down.

That list isn’t mine. I can’t remember who originally posted it. I wanted to know why he’s bottom as well. I also wanted to know where Ryu is at in 2I. I remember hearing he was high tier, right behind Sean. Thought someone on here might know for sure.

Yeah I remember hearing Ryu was pretty high up there in 2I as well. One of the reasons being the 2-stock Denjin. But what else did he have that made him so great?

stupid jump fierce infinites in the corner that started off of shinshoryu

Wasn’t that in NG? I don’t recall if that existed in 2I…

It went something like

Top: (Sorry, I hate the term “God” in tier lists)
Akuma
Ibuki
Sean
Yang

Upper:
Ryu
Ken
Dudley

middle:
Everyone else

Low:
Alex
Urien

Bottom:
Hugo

I think Ibuki was considered the best character.

What’s funny is how Hugo is worse than he is in third strike, even though in this game he has a brain-dead infinite and incredibly easy combos like LPx5, SA3.

I blame the shitty hitbox issues with Hugo. Considering throwing Hugo backwards with Sean or Ryu was a free super.

Thanks man! Hmm…List mostly makes sense, but why is Yang up where he is?

Good target combo, allows linkage to Mantis and EX Mantis slashes. First two super arts allow abuse of the EX Mantis slashes. Super Art I does INSANE amounts of damage, plus Yang has a good amount of EX Slashes to use.

Mad time on Seiei Enbu, the bar is way longer than it is in 3s. In 3s it is the same size as Genei Jin. Genei Jin is about shippu size, Seiei is about shinsho size in 2I. Not to mention he has those bad ass Tenshin Senkyutai set ups. Sending people to the other side of the screen then chasing them with a Tenshin n shit.

Do Urien’s Aegis unblockables work in 2I?
Also is it me or do Necro’s limbs extended a lot shorter than in 3S?

Not that I’m aware of. Urien is very bad in 2I, he can do a few things with Aegis. Not enough to make him what he is in 3rd strike.

Im not a Urien user though, so don’t take my word for it too serious.

Say, Spinning Beat, since you’re on a roll, how about a NG tier list? And maybe some Ryu strats for 2I? Really appreciate what you’ve got for us so far!

Can someone give me a list of all the infinites in New Gen (and 2i, if there are any)?

So far I’ve seen Ryu’s j.HPx5, Shinshoryuken
Hugos palms
Necros c.lkxmpxtornado hooks (not sure thats actually infinite, but it looks like it could be)
Alexs MP flash chopsxxstun gun on elena

Anything else?

In New Generation, when fighting Gill, does he only use the resurrection super art or does he use another like he does in 2nd Impact?
