Old School SF or that New School Shit?

I can beat everyone in the game easily except Ryu. He's hard as hell.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo is the greatest Capcom game. I do not understand why no one ever mentions it in these posts.

Your opinion...but.

 

Probably because that particularly version didn't really have a widely available home conversion until Revival on GBA. You'd be hard pressed to find an arcade with one now, next to NO ONE owned a 3DO, and the only other version was in SF Collection, which is rare and is even now as expensive as a brand new game.

 

As for my personal preference--both. They aren't supposed to be the same experience. The Marvel/X-men vs. games are supposed to be about wild and crazy gameplay, and mindless button-bashing fun. By "new school" I thought you meant the Alphas--with multi-level supers and alpha counters. Or SFIII's new super system and the *ugh* parries.

 

Parries suck, suck, suck, suck in my opinion. I get my ass kicked on III.

 

Odd that you didn't say, SFA2, Sakura--considering it was the origin of your avatar, ousted the Hunter Chains and re-introduced some of the classic characters.

I was just playing SFII Turbo, and it's still a very fun game. Except for the damn Ryu.

Whats wrong with Ryu? His uncanny ability to counter EVERY damn jump with a Shoryuken?

Damn--I have Street Fighter Collection 2...ooooooooh...Ryu is the hardest to beat, bar none. Oh, and that fact along with the fact that he Hadoken's you to death, but when you jump over it he seems to have supernatural recovery time and gives you a well-placed Shoryuken or Roundhouse to stop you dead. Although, on Super onward he was balanced out, plus it's VERY satisfying to suck him in for a Screw Piledriver when he's about to Hadoken you. Heheheh...
