it’s like my ST parents are fighting, i feel sad.
Hmm, well the PAL version of CCC2 seems to have minimum to zero input lag, atleast from my personal experiences with it, or am I totally wrong ?
I don’t know how the NTSC version of the game plays, but the PAL version has some things fixed but you guys are probably already aware of that.
LOL!!! :lol: LOL… I just bust out laughing in my office… LOL … :lol:
Yeah, I bitch hella about CCC2. But I think most of it is justified. It ruined Evo’s ST tourney for me and for the Japs and for a lot of other people.
Also keep in mind that Gian, KKY, nekohashi, Tokido, and Nuki (who all spent thousands of dollars to come here, expecting to play on a decent version) have no voice to bitch, so I have to be at least 5x as vocal.
But I still <3 you nohoho, and your curry allergy.
OH EKS COME HERE you get a hug. <3
There there.
I hear you. Between HSF@SBO and CCC2@Evo, 07 was a lousy year for these guys. I’ve said my piece, anyway.
Just to be clear about one thing: the dreamcast version is a-ok for Gian and co. right? I mean, hypothetically speaking, if someone were to run a DC ST 3on @ Evo 08 they wouldn’t have a problem with the port?
ACHOOOOO
You know what sucks, I show up at CTF on a friday night to play ST and found not one person even play ST on the arcade cabinet. It just sits there isolated except I was the only one there playing it against the cpu, so I walk over to the Third strike crowd where Jwong was dominating to ask the fellas to have battles in Super Turbo, they all had the awkward look in their faces like I was insane and expressed negative comments on ST.
Blasphemy I tell you. It’s a shame what the fighting community has become. Heck, I doubt any of them play Neo fighters besides Jwong.
If I’m not mistaken, I believe Justin really doesnt like ST to begin with, so it comes as no surprise that he and others playing with him would say something like that. Maybe you just came on a bad night?
Still… blasphemy!!!
^^Usually the Friday night before a tourney I show up to CF to get some practice in but opted to go to a Halloween party instead. :party:
I know the feeling, when I’m at CF nowadays I stand around hoping someone will play ST or VS. Some nights they both get no love at all. :shake:
I’ll be there this friday. heh
FWIW, CvS2/A3(and, recently, DDR) players are more likely to dabble in ST than 3S players.
st is da best hell yeahs
if im at cf u might see me playin a few games with psychic ryu (i suck)
It’s cool to see some of you are in the NYC area. I will try to hit CF around 9pm friday after I finish work.
Long live Super Turbo.
I know Gian personally prefers the PS1 version, but DC should be fine too. I’ve never heard them gripe about it.
A several-part video called “Street Fighter II - The History” has recently been uploaded at Nicovideo. If you don’t have an account there, check out nohoho’s blog for info on how to set one up. Starts here. Just a little Japanese documentary on SF2’s history. Nothing that most people here won’t already know about, but it might still be a fun watch. Lots of official character art from the entire course of the series.
I laughed at one of the comments posted as the section for CE began. Something along the lines of “Yeah yeah, the psycho crusher, throw, psycho crusher, throw game.”
X-Mania 8 Dec 23 @ Iruma (Saitama) Plaza Capcom.
Kurahashi (Guile), Nuki (Chun) & Nakamura (Cammy) a tentative team.

Thanks for that link, felineki. Some times it seems crazy to me that everything fell into place (gameplay, graphic design, etc) as well as it did.
Turbo WHAT?
The whole discussion about speed setting confuses the hell out of me.
What are the proper settings to play on World 940223, USA 940223, and Japan 940223?
This is great, really nice to see all that old artwork. One thing I never understood is why they had such great promo and concept art for SF2, yet some of the in-game art (especially on the early versions) is horrible 
On another note, anyone ever notice that the castle in Eagle’s SF1 background appears to be the same one you’re fighting on in Cammy’s ST background?
Something random I’m not sure about:
Say you’re Honda and Guile is doing sonic boom, walk up, throw. You’re charging back, and right after the sonic boom, you press toward (and hold it) and drum fierce and strong. Does this act as an option select between headbutt, grabby throw, and strong throw such that if you mistimed the toward, you’ll get one of those throws instead?
I think if you’re charged the headbutt will take priority over the throw, but I’m not sure. Only way to find out is to try it.
I can’t picture why you’d get the throw instead of the headbutt.
