He didnât beat every character without a fireball though. Honda loses to Vega and Rog is slightly in Rogâs favor. And the rest, only Gief and Cammy are truly lopsided matchups.
As for USF2 itself, damage-less teching is a terrible idea. ST is well balanced because both defense and offense are very strong. Weakening throws will heavily favor defense. Coupled with that terrible speed, the game will be a turtlefest.
I think the reason they reverted to SSF2 IS so they can balance based on match data and are going to be patching the game periodically 2017 style based on feed back from the new playerbase and match data they get.
The Brook guys already said they were looking into adding Switch compatibility for their Universal Fight Board pcb. I believe the Hori Switch arcade stick is rumored for $150 unfortunately.
SSF2 balance was horrible? Says who? Honestly when you think about it, the tier list between Super and ST would probably be very similar. The only characters that are a lot worse in Super than their ST counterpart are probably Deejay and Bison.
Many chars aren´t exactly the same in his O. Mode on ST.
O Sagat is nowhere like Sagat in SSFII, Gief has his magic SPD glitch etc. SSFII was hit more by its lack of speed and heavy competition the same year (MKII, FF SP, SamSho, etc)
Gief only has his reversal suplex glitch in the asian version of Super and ST. Youâre right though, some Old ST characters are slightly different than their respective characters in Super. The only one that comes to mind is Super Sagat/O.Sagat at the moment (Super Sagat lacks some special cancels and the super fast tiger shots IIRC). Heâs still a good character but definitely drops out of the top tier.
I really, really hope that this game doesnât dethrone Super Turbo as the definitive version of the game. It just wouldnât feel right at all if it didâŚ
In Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, the original cast of Super Street Fighter 2 is selectable via code in the arcade version (console versions just let you select between the two). The âSuperâ characters in ST are usually referred to as âOldâ, âOâ, or more rarely âSâ. So, O.Sagat or Old Sagat are what youâd usually see to refer to that specific ST character.
