What is the greatest SF game of all time

Ok, Sf4 can not be at the top of any list. Top 5, Maybe but thats pushing it.
5.3s
4.Alpha 2
3.HDR
2.ST
1.World warrior

Also, This has become my new favorite poster. <3 spudly. No one else has ever shared the same liking towards the EX series’ music :frowning:

The EX music is godlike; we were posting about that in the EX thread around here. It has Shinji Hosoe, Ayako Saso, Takayuki Aihara working on it throughout the series and they even released arranged albums on top of the original Arcade BGM. Shinji was working on Stuff like Bushido Blade, Ridge Racer, Tekken remixes and a shitload of other stuff. Ayako worked on F-Zero GX soundtrack, Final Fantasy and other albums. Takayuki Aihara is a bit less known to me, but worked on most of the soundtracks with the previous two (think they’re part of the SuperSweep group) as well as good namco OST’s in general.

SFIV shouldn’t be at the top of any list except for maybe sales figures.

hilarious

I have to agree now, System Direction 3s is fucking CRACK
2348845 hit combos for days.
IBUKI
KENZANNNN

Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation is obviously the best Street Fighter game of all time.

Once again:

WTF IS THIS SHIT TIER:
3s
SSFIIHDR

God tier/broken
Super turbo

S
Alpha 3

A
Alpha 2

lolling at all the people who suck at IV, and think it doesn’t belong on any list.

Greatest? I’d go with WW.

Overall Best? I’d go with HDR.

Current Favorite? SF4 by FAR

Don’t have to be a top competitor to have an opinion of a game. SF4 is just a really sub-par and unfun game, imho.

Cool guys quote themselves.

B???

cause hdr is less fun than st

a2 is my fav but its flawed just like any other

hf is the best

Quoted for great justice.

definitely! But is it crap? I cannot phantom how a game that in essence is still ST is suddenly one of the worst SF games.

Mine too, but put 3S above HD. It’s close though.

Art sucks.

Music sucks.

Gameplay sucks.

IMO, HDR feels slower to me, compared to ST.

Since one-liners don’t really explain much, I found some in-depth posts in the ST forum:

The main reason I like ST over HDR is due to the fact that execution is tighter.

^ See, those links you provided are all fine criticisms that cite their sources, but it doesn’t all speak to HDR being this horrendous abomination of a game. It’s not perfect, of course, but being different isn’t a crime.

EDIT - That’s not me counting the information not backed by hard evidence (what players say “feel” different).

Dr. B needs no HD Remix though. He’s always HD.

nah def. not but the premise of it really sets itself up for being hated, which is trying to take a really old and classic game and make a do-over. anything it gets wrong or people even remotely dislike is going to be amplified by the fact that st is such a classic and established game that people think ‘man why did you have to go and fuck with it’

I think Dandy J hit the nail on the head.

This is pretty much how I feel about HDR.

Roger that.

Dr. B never makes this face: :xeye:. If he did, it would be so mind-bogglingly hilarious that everyone on Earth would orgasm simultaneously. Disgusting.
