toyotasupra1980 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Grown up playing every single version of street fighter, from the original to 3rd strike, hope Fei Long and Guy are still in the 4th, would also like to get the Street Fighter 2 HD re-mastered version.

I downloaded HD from Xbox live, it's well worth it. Can't wait for this next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal me in....I reckon I would take you all with Vega although thats on sf2t I used to be very good at a game called killer instinct back on the day as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I used to be very good at a game called killer instinct back on the day as well was that the game with ridiculous combos? like 180 hit combos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 imo the street fighter games started to go downhill soon after the introduction of cammy, deejay, fei long and t hawk. the editions they were bringing out were just milking it abit too much. ok the 'capcom vs' games were enjoyable but no where near as good as the original street fighter 2 (although the turbo blackbelt edition was the best one imo). anyone remember the very first street fighter game? im sure they had a character on that named hard-on (could have been spelt ardon). does anyone remember the beat em game where the bonus round was against a white tiger? and another great beat em up game was king of fighters.

Seb Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Shit the bed I'm excited! Can't frickin' wait! Aavailable on PS3 and 360 - only £28 off Play, bargain! Looks epic, read all the reviews and general concensus is that it's possbily the best 2D fighter yet. In case you don't know, they've made the moves easier to pull off in order to make the matches more balanced and more about strategy rather than trying to pull off a move at that critical moment. Full character line up as follows: Abel, Akuma, Balrog, Blanka, Chun Li, C. Viper, Dan, Dhalsim, E. Honda, El Fuerte, Fei Long, Gouken, Guile, Ken, M. Bison, Rufus, Ryu, Sagat, Sakura, Seth, Vega and Zangief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 was that the game with ridiculous combos? like 180 hit combos? Yeah that was the one I became a bit of a master in the arcade near me and spent a lot of pocket money on it ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, all the reviews and comments I've read have said it's a positive thing. You still need to be able to do the commands, it's just that the recognition is a lot more lenient, meaning in the heat of battle you can be a tiny bit sloppy with your dragon punch and still pull one out, that's all. Makes fights a lot more balanced it seems, as people who are less experienced, say, should still be able to hold their own. Very far removed from the ridiculous one button press special moves of CvS2 on home console. From the Edge review: "It’s impossible to overstate what a change this is for the series, and the fighting game in general. Street Fighter is now more about planning your attacks and responding to your opponent rather than worrying about whether you can physically accomplish what you want to." Combo system has been improved too, so the window of opportunity for chains is bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 out of curiosity has anyone here ever managed to pull off zangief's spinning pile driver during game play and not in practice mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve A Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 out of curiosity has anyone here ever managed to pull off zangief's spinning pile driver during game play and not in practice mode? yeah is hard work best bet was to do it as part of a combo, as it ment you could get in close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Played this at my mate's the other night... Awesome game! I was slightly drunk at the time, so don't ask for any more info from me... I was Chun Li btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I've been waiting for them to release the SF2 HD remix to the PS3 store for ages, XBOX has had it for a while already Tekken 6 out soon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 out of curiosity has anyone here ever managed to pull off zangief's spinning pile driver during game play and not in practice mode? Yes, not only that but I managed to pull off his Super Spinning Piledriver (720º on the d-pad) in Capcom Fighting Jam to finish off an opponent which is exactly what I needed to do to unlock a specific secret character. Was one of my greatest fighting game moments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 yup cant wait for it! I have it on preorder, yey. Anyone remember 'Street Fighter'? I had it on the ZX Spectrum!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC even Akuma's unblockable Kongouko-Kuretsuzan Super Art from SF3 would not do 100% damage, so I'd like to think you're exaggerating slightly In fact, if you go back to SFII special moves used to do ridiculous amounts of damage - I swear one fireball would do about a quarter of a bar. The latest games have pretty advanced damage limitations placed upon multi-hit attacks so that each subsequent hit does less and less damage until the final strikes of a combo that runs into double figures are doing almost no damage at all. Watch a video of SFII and SFIII or IV and I bet that the same attack in SFII does a hell of a lot more damage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
