What are the tiers for SF2 Rainbow Edition?

[System_1]

Actually, Indigo has a soft ban like O. Sagat, I remember hearing about it way back when.
You need to get with the times, Morris Day.

And Infrared is banned in some tournaments.

can someone give me the 411 on this game I remember seeing as a kid in a pizzeria and was like wow as I got older I just figured it was a glitch but is there more to it than just it being a glitch

Who ever it is who can change characters and do practically all the moves in the game, them…

One thing to keep in mind about Subdue the dragon is you can always SPECIAL during it stun, so if you get hit by the electricity, you can just shoryu out of it.

Also, you don’t go into “getting thrown” animation when someone throws you, so if you SPECIAL before hitting the ground, you won’t take damage.

There is a limit to how many projectiles you can have on screen. If you throw the slow zoning hadoukens, you have to wait about 2 seconds after they leave the screen before you can throw another wave.

Blanka can duck the wave of shoryuken projectiles, and then ball or electric to close in. Guile gets killed because he simply cannot compete with the projectile onslaught that the shotos can do with their shoryukens.

I still think Koryu is the best of the hacks. The Hadoken Walls were just full of wtf. The trick would be to be a shoto, then switch to Dictator and Dimension Hop and win by timeout.

I lol’d at the video

I think guile would be top tier lol

[Master_Bigode]

Changing characters midround makes a tier list kind of irrelevant. On another note: Does anyone know how to do the teleport thing? I saw it in desk’s Vid of Dreams.

Hold Fierce+Roundhouse for about 2 secs then release.
Some versions might not have the teleport though.

[Rhio2k]

Now can we get some tiers for Karate Champ, and SF1? Oh, and nes Double Dragon 2 while we’re at it?

Koryu = Subdue the Dragon, no? “Life is too short to be little”?

Some MK shit right there.
And Guile seems to a god on that shit.

[Laishin]

shit man, this game is too funny. Sagat hanging in mid-air made me lol

Depends on which version we’re talking about here. There were like six different versions, all messed up in different ways.

In the most standard version we had, Balrog was the most broken. Dash Straight sent out two projectiles at once, high and low, and needed to be blocked low. It did about 35% damage, and could combo with itself. Two would dizzy. Three would kill. The only character who could stop him was Chun-li, whose SBK sent out Hadoukens with every rotation. Thus, she would do SBK at the statr of the round to pin Balrog down. However, Chun lost to shotos, Guile, etc.

Ken was up there. Half screen Jab DP goes through waves of projectiles, and roundhouse HK dizzied and redizzied, and the mid-air version was superb for jumping over a screen full of projectiles. Guile was also good with Sonic Boom x N and air throws from the ground. Everyone else was merely okay, and Bison and Vega were garbage.

I find this to be the most effective Vega combo.

Tier list for Rainbow? That’s like asking for a tier list of MUGEN. These games have no competitive value, they’re meant for silly entertainment only.

people remember my vids, I’m so happy! lol.

You teleport by holding fierce and roundhouse for a second then releasing them. It doesn’t work in all versions though.

[KillerKai]

Everyone had something stupid

Guile was the most braindead across all versions as mentioned. Ryu and Vega were really the only ones who could beat him the second he started firing sonic booms. Ryu’s hurricane kick just went right through the entire field whereas Vega could do izuna drops from any height.

CE Bison was still a beast and he probably had among the fewest modifications out of any character. He could still hang though as he was, well, CE Bison

Ken and Chun had insta dizzies with their hurricane and spinning bird kicks. There was one version where chun could fire sonic booms out of her legs as she moved with her lightning kick

Boxer had a version where he could shoot two fireballs with each dash punch (no charge) for insta lockdown.

Blanka could move with his electricity and shoot sonic booms as he moved

Gief had a version where he’d jump twice as high and had a yoga flame coming out of his wang when he did lariats. Every version he could spd from the air.

Dhalsim was 10000x as fast walking. That led to stupid tick throw games

Honda I’d say was the least modified overall across most versions.

That headbutt part had me rolling.

[System_1]

I think Ken. The game simply reduces to timing at the beginning of round, who makes the first shoryuken with hadokens.
Also Blanka with his electricity goes in front of you instantly, you can’t do anything after that.

I’ve seen many variations of Rainbow. I don’t know if we are talking about the same version.

anyone know how to do blanka’s teleporting electrcity attack??? Sorry for stealing thread
