Ultra SF2 General Discussion - We need the CPS1 music!

Any bets on when the following characters are banned in tournaments:

Akuma
Evil Ryu
Violent Ken

look like Violent Ken.

Mode Suggestion
1.) ST Classic Mode -for the purist and the hardcore.
2.) Tournament Mode -Bringing back the nostalgic classic SNES mode now with options to skip CPU-vs -CPU Matches with a settings that can adjust the match/battle and round count for the whole tournament playthrough.
3.) Group Battle - Same with the nostalgic classic SNES mode.
4.) Buddy Mode - That has 2v1 and 1v2 options
5.) Extra Survival - The best new mode from GBA revival

6.) Extra Arcade - With Enchanced CPU Shadaloo 4 Bosses = with unlimited super or max super in a beginning of a round.

Final Bison - with SF4/SFA Teleport, WW Scissors and WW Psycho Crusher (SFA tribute)
Angry Scar Sagat - with WW Uppercut and Faster Tiger Shots (SF4 tribute)
Revenging/Fallen Vega - with WW Wall crawl (Cannon Spike)
Uber Balrog - Invincible WW Turn Punch and has better damage in normals

Ahhh the good old levels of damage… so far.

I’m not actually against low damage provided the game is offensive like SFA3. But after SFV where attack options are scarce and a full meterless combo does the damage of a SF2 mid, it is kind of refreshing.

That said, how much difference does it make a new ST rehash? Can’t people just get MAME, Fightcade or any other emulator and play the original for free? Doesn’t sound like a good deal even if you own a Switch, much less a reason to jump in.

That’s why we’re asking for an mode with original ST in it.

ST Mode should definitely be a thing here.

That was really detailed… :s

I watched this on stream the other night and Boxer’s dash straight didn’t hit crouchers.
GGs Capcom

…I thought that’s how it worked in ST as well?

I hope there is an arcade release on Nesica or some other platform. That way Round1 in Japan/America will have it in some capacity

Ugh… brain fart. for a second I confused him with HF Boxer.

This.

Arcade release might save it from going the way of HDR… if the questionable changes don’t kill it first.

Who are the other 2 new characters? Akuma and Hyper Zangief?

Sawada and Jean Claude Van Guile.

Slightly Sexier Cammy.
Bodacious Chun-li.

People keep talking about this being ST when its SF2.

They should just release ST but they aren’t doing that. No point in releasing a new game if you’re gonna add in the old one.

Really just release ST and call it a day.

Can’t fault people when even Capcom talks about it as if it were ST.

hmm… Haven’t really seen too much but here’s my first impressions so far:
What I like:
-The fact that it’s SF2, so many things I love/hate about that game heh
-I like how there’s throw techs instead of randomly choosing who get’s thrown. This also get’s rid of the dumb meta of taking a jump attack to get a free throw. You had to do a deep jump attack because of how low the hitstun was so low.

What I dislike
-The speed… Why is it so slow? ST’s fast paced gameplay made it super fun.
-Violent Ken dashing through fireballs. Capcom just hates fireballs don’t they?
-40 dollars for this? Wow lol

I’m still looking forward to it, hopefully capcom fixes some of the issues (ah who am I kidding? PFFT)

That’s one of the things that killed HDR. People can talk about it having wack balance but so does ST. Only difference is that we already understand the strats, tools and tech for things. ST is fully developed and still very much engaging to play.

More importantly it is still played in arcades in Japan which means that all of the FG world is on the same page. Man, I could do a good 1,000 words on why USF2 being exclusive to the switch is a bad idea.

You just need to say:

USF2 is an updated version of HDR for the Nintendo Switch

Just 11 words and you can pretty much see how this is a terrible idea
