Hi I was just looking over some of the changes of the game and Im just wondering is Super Street Fighter II HD Remix going to replace Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for tournaments? Or is it really still going to be all about Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo when it comes to tournaments in the US and Japan?
Thanks
Two question you need to ask is, why wouldn’t HDR replace ST and will HDR/ST even be played that much in tournies with SF4 out in arcades and soon to be on consoles.
There’s still such a huge following for SFII, that even if HDRemix bombed, I really really doubt that people would stop playing ST in tournies even when IV hits.
I would LIKE to see HDRemix replace ST, as it is [supposedly] the newly balanced ST anyways, right? Balanced by some of the best SRK members/community. However only time will tell.
That statement is asinine.
Yes, HDR will replace ST in the U.S./Europe at tournaments but it wont be replaced in Japan. Even with HDR there still will be people who will like ST a little more.
Didn’t ST take the place of SSF2? and 3S take the place of Second Impact?
i’ll try to explain what I meant better…
Its a numbers thing. Take say EVO2K8 line-up ST, 3S, SMBB, T5:DR and CVS2 now add all the new games thats come this year SF4, TVC, BlazBlu, HDR, T6 and eventually KOFxii. A few have to go and few will be left out. Theres just not enough time in the day to make everyone happy… why am I typing this?
turns PS3 on
I highly doubt that KOF12 will be at Evo.
When I said that statement is asinine I ment the one about how there will be few people playing HDR because of SF4. SF2 and SF4 are completely different.
Yeah, but SFZ2@ didn’t replace SFZ2, SFZ3U didn’t replace SFZ3, and VH2 and VS2 didn’t replace VS.
For the time being, SF:HD will definitely replace ST in the US (or at least go alongside it). In the long run, it depends on whether anything extremely broken is found.
Japan is more arcade oriented, so they’ll probably continue with ST. Now, if Capcom ends up putting HDR on arcade like they did AE, then I could see them picking it up over ST.
As for here, as long as it isn’t broken it should be running over ST at least through Evo 2009. After that I expect it depends on if the game really is better than ST, much as the routine went with AE.
STHD>SF4.
/thread.
…but you must play SF4! Sagat is top tier! :wgrin:
i jest.
Not really, Already two Majors have decided to keep ST over STHD. One is east coast Final Round, and i also believe NEC is doing both ST and STHD so his statement is not so asinine after all.
Ah, but the reasoning for the Final Round pick is because the organizer is convinced that ST is about to go out, and he wants to have the last big ST tournament at Final Round. So even his reasoning suggests that HDR will replace ST at future Final Round events.
But when I was there last year I never seen any ST arcade machines. And when I was there I hit up a lot of random arcades, but maybe just somehow I just missed the ones that had it and Im sure that now ST 4 is everywhere now.
All I seen there was Guilty Gear and Virtua Fighter 5.
They should just make a CPS2 version of HDR, just putting in the gameplay changes without any of the fancy graphics. Much cheaper and the graphical overhaul is pretty controversial anyway
I post it all the time in every thread but I hope Japan gets themselves an arcade release of SFHD. It’d be a pity if they didn’t switch on up with us.
HDRemix has a way better chance at attracting new players then turbo would.
As of now Im pretty certain that there are alot of new xbla and psn players.
I played against a Japanese player today on the 360. He said he also plays on GGPO. So who knows, maybe it’ll catch on over there.
Oh, and he played a crazy T.Hawk. Man, Hawk is really scary now in the right hands! 
I meant for a japanese arcade release. Doesn’t look like the japanese are riding the console fighter wave any time soon
Ok…question is japan even ok with the fact that ST was even messed with in the first place?
It’s too bad E. Honda is so broken in the new version. Beefing up charters is one thing but overpower them so they can spam hands and flying sit is terrible. Too bad, hope that patch that.
