I’m just curious why theres such a huge rank difference between Deejay and o.deejay.
I can’t read Japanese, so could anyone decode all of those other charts please… and what are they for…
I would personally say Old is a better overall character than New - his normals are hella better and so is his DP which, IMO, is far more important than his Super.
Then again, I suppose you could go off the theory of “can you land the Super consistantly? If yes, use New, if no, use Old”.
Off the top of my head O. Deejay loses the easy to abuse, monster crossover j. MK, his projectile has slightly more recovery time, having no upkicks kinda sucks since it is a decent anti-air which can lead into free Super… there really isn’t any reason to use Old over New unless you totally love the MGU.
when you guys said old, does it mean any old street fighter or there is a specific old street fighter for each character? Or the one before the last street fighter?
what
my bad, i mean when you guys said old ken or old guile, which version you mean.
We’re referring only to Super Turbo here. “Old” refers to the special modes that can be selected in ST by inputting a code at the character select screen. These “old” characters play mostly like they did in SSF2, but there are a few small differences.
i thought boxer was the best???
Boxer isn’t as braindead easy to use as O. Sagat, and Boxer doesn’t create as many bad match-ups. Some of the cast literally can’t do anything against O. Sagat.

A mate of mines gave me this tier list ages ago, and it looks very accurate. Theres a chance the list may have changed in the last few years
For DJ being ranked so highly, it’s not very often you see him in Jpn tourneys. I thought he was more represented in US play?
Are there any standout japanese DJ players?
I wonder if it’s time to lift the Akuma ban for Evo. I’m a little tired of seeing him high in rankings and no videos/results to back it up. Who’s with me?
There’s a reason why he’s banned, it’s because he’s broken. If we were to lift the ban on Akuma, everyone would use him (if you want a fighting chance of winning).
Whenever someone tries to say that Akuma isn’t broken because he always loses in tourneys, they fail to mention the fact that the person playing him is almost always complete trash.
The guy is broke, plain and simple. To a point where it ruins the game. Granted, I feel the same way about O. Sagat, but at least you can do ‘something’ about tiger shots. Can’t do shit against air fireballs with a lot of characters really, and god help you if you he gets you in the corner.
Old DeeJay is a horrible character. ST DeeJay will deal massive damage from a multiple blade kick juggle if you jump at him. O.DeeJay has a 2 pixel damage one hit antiair machine gun. It really sucks - just try using him and you’ll just give up in disgust. His fireball also got a serious upgrade. It’s bigger and faster. So he connects with more of them (due to their speed and size) and can actually zone you effectively and play like Guile with the threat of a very damaging blade kick.
