Don’t hate on my thread and the in-depth Rainbow strategy discussion going on here.
Hahaha, best SF ever.
I say we just drop Marvel and replace it with this at next year’s Evo
Sagat’s J. Roundhouse - C.S.Short (2 Hits) - Fierce “Tiger Flame” = instant death.
But then, anyone can break out of combos in that game by spamming specials. Is it like that with all hacks or just the Kouryu?
Is the Rainbow Edition the one that the shoryuken also released a wall of fireballs?
Okay, these are off the top of my head, but here we go…
Red Wave: Nothing really changed here, except you can air throw when you’re above an opponents head and they get sucked up and thrown. Also IIRC Claw can do his wall grab on any map.
Rainbow: This has tons of weird shit, but pretty tame in comparison to Koryu.
Accelerator: Probably my favorite. It’s very tame, but it’s still very much a hack. DP’s go full screen and go through fireballs, some move properties changed, like the fireball is jab slow, strong fast going down, and fierce is fast homing or something. Also Ken’s RH hurricane is 3/4 of the time a redizzy.
Koryu aka Subdue the Dragon: Probably the most craziest, stupidest and most mind numbingly fun SF2 hack there is. There’s so much about this game that I could describe but would take forever. Everyone knows about the wall of FB’s when you do dp with Ryu and Ken. Sagat has yoga flame where his knees are when he does dp, and can ohko if positioned right. Bison can cancel headstomp into each other and just fly up til time out, only Gief can get him out by doing 360 throw near him. You aren’t “grabbed” when you’re thrown so you can be in mid move and die from a throw. There’s also the “random” black screen that doesn’t go away until round ends, but there’s something (secret) that triggers it. Sim has crazy fast walk speed, make it seem like Shin Akuma in CvS2 is tied down to rocks, and also you can cancel hitstun and blockstun with a special move, so Bison can do like inf. counter Psycho Crushers if they try an attack and the like. There’s a cap on fireballs on screen, so you can be a dick to your opponent if they’re a FB char and spam random dps to use up FB cap so they can’t use it.
There’s also the M7 hack, and this other hack, but I didn’t find anything cool about them to remember.
In Koryu IIRC it was hcf punch.
Just as much bullshit going on screen, but 10x much faster.
Only Koryu.
No, that was Koryu.
