The SF2 Hyper Fighting Thread

Agreed on Old Bastah. Other good players are damdai (doesn’t play HF anymore though), Marsgattai, and paskis.

Here’s the frame data/hitboxes for Blanka. You may notice a slight change in the page format, haha. Took me a long time to work out a decent way to format all the data - I’ve split it out into a movelist/frame data and separate hitboxes. I think it’s probably a bit more useful this way - and fits in with the wiki style guidelines a lot better. Any comments or suggestions welcome.

The rest of the chars will be done in this format (or one very similar, anyway), then I’ll go back and fix up the old ones. Then I’ll fill out the strats/matchups sections a bit. Got a lot of reformatting and data to add to the main HF page too. Where do the hours go?

Next char shouldn’t be too long away :slight_smile:

Just fantastic work again Flux. New format is even better than before. I am going to start adding to this, so have to chat to you soon about wiki editing. Is there capacity to add pictures to the character matchup setions, or only for the hitbox data? I’d like to put together some GamePro sequence style pics for strats / combos.
Btw, checked one of Ur replays on Supercade, cool that you play alot of low tier like me, so sick of Ryus.

EDIT* btw, looking at those hitboes just confirms why I love s.LK soo much!

Thanks :slight_smile:

It’s totally freeform, as long as you can work out how to express it in MediaWiki language, you can put anything in there wherever you like. There’s file upload for the images, so I’m sure it’ll work just fine :slight_smile: Some of these pages are already complaining about being too big for some browsers, but I doubt that’s a real problem.

Haha, sorry if this disappoints you, but I’d consider Ryu my main and probably favourite char in HF :smiley: I’d rather play Claw, but some matchups and against some playstyles is just so frustrating. I don’t really think I play any other low tiers…

Yep, Blanka has a surprising number of absolute trash normals, but some incredible ones too. cl.MP is nuts!

Oh, I should have mentioned that the frame data in the movelist section is in “new” style, that is a move that hits on the 5th frame is said to have 5f startup. Personally I don’t like that style, but it’s the way everything is expressed these days so I went with it. The benefit is that you can easily see just from the frame data what should combo (i.e. +5f frame advantage move can combo into a 5f startup move) rather than having to perform the very difficult mathematical operation of… adding one…
Of course, working out combos in that fashion is harder for HF, since you lose 1f of hitstun after the second attack, so the third hit needs to be at LEAST a 2f link to work. That and the random frameskipping making combos of 1~2f links practically worthless anyway. Might be useful for some combo makers though, hahaha…

Okay, so, not sure if this is the right thread for this or not. But I’m a Guile player and having a really hard time beating Chun. Any tips y’all could give me on the matchup? Thanks in advance…
HF>>>>>>>ST

imo.

Heh. I remember an old alt.games.sf2 thread about this match (from Chun’s perspective).

Sweet! Thanks for that! Pretty enlightening to read all that!

I guess I tend to play a more aggressive Guile than most and it sometimes gets me into trouble. >_<

Question for anyone that plays on Supercade. How is HF on Supercade running these days? I’m looking to get back into HF again and I was hoping that in plays well on Supercade.

^^^This. I sort of wish they would’ve split covering these 3 games into two shows. Plenty of stories

Damn, any idea if this is archived anywhere? It’s not working… just shows me a splash screen.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted but I come bearing gifts.

There was a HF tournament recently in Trinidad and I happened to get some footage recorded.

It still works, not sure what problem you’re having. Look at the time stamps, if they’re moving, you know the video is working . They don’t get started until maybe like 1 min. or 2 in the video. Click ahead in the video.

Ahh, yep. Didn’t think to skip ahead. Thanks!

Just watched the whole thing, very epic round of stories, particularly hearing about the Japanese CE tournament was cool. Thanks for the link, Crayfish!

It should be posted here at some point, tho ‘Tuesday Eps 15’ seems to be something different on the channel?

Ah cool, thanks Spoonz! I was really hoping to get a glimpse of the arcade / arcades there. Just interested to see such an exotic location with actual HF machines in a non retro museum / retro gaming bar setting. Is there any other info on the tourney, how many players etc. Do you guys have a regional website where u post?
Thanks again.

Canadian OG Old Mastah! Who in my opinion is the best Hyper Fighting player in the world at the moment talks possible HF tournament.

Subbed.

The boys jamming with K-1/MMA Legend Mark Hunt! Marks a Hyper Fighting player from way back who has two arcade machines in his gym. Enjoy!
