that was boss......

jeez .. a painting has more life. Excellent sound though.

that was great

you could always tempt guile into a blade kick with a small dragon just out of range though :-P

Mort4L |<oMB4t pWnz Street Fighter :¬Þ

actual LOL :-P

With Ryu, my secret was to keep sweeping until the other character would jump, then I'd do the spinning upper-cut. Was that the "Dragon Punch" you speak of?

I can't argue that this game will go down in the history books even though it was such a blatant rip-off of Street Fighter.

yes. forward, down, down forward. shoryuuuuuuuuuuuuuken!!!

I forgot. I could just back-up and jump over those, or block.

or do a jab dragon punch and it passes through you...if you're sexy

There is an online playable version of Street Fighter but it's not great:

Ken was my person in SF II...same moves as Ryu plus style.

I think you just like White people better.

Or my personal fave for Guile (excluding the freeze): sonic boom, flying fierce punch, standing fierce punch, all finished with the standing fierce backhand. Boo ya.

I was a Ryu kind of guy until Champ Edition came out, then it was all Ken. Couldn't resist that extended range uppercut. SHO-RYU-KEN!!

not to mention the flying roundhouse, ducking fierce, fierce dragon punch combo took almost half your energy away

Or the cheap Guile combo: corner someone, flurry of ducking quick punches, and flip kick (or whatever it was called) if they tried to jump. Not that I ever used that cheap shit or anything...

FLASH KICK! That's what it was called!

Word, that was a CHEAP move, although I often thought almost any throws were kind of cheap--I was funny that way. As a result, the only character I couldn't use very well was Zangief. Otherwise I had A-game with just about everyone else.

I learned how to beat the game (Sega Genesis or SNES, I think?)with every character on the most difficult level.

I hated fighting Vega the most.

Yeah, Guile had the crazy sweep maneuver. Society just likes a "man in uniform", fruit boy. j/k

Did anyone notice how the characters seemed to be going to the same plastic surgeon as Mariah Carey, to gradually remove "ethnic" features?

magic throw, golden stance, handcuffs, turn it off...

those are the proper cheaps with guile :-)

Yeah, I put in the hours (that I will never get back now [shakes head]) and beat the game with every character for the SNES.

Guile had all the best cheats. What are the "golden stance" and "turn it off"?

what version was it when you could throw hella fireballs and fly in the sky?

Damn those Japanese video game music producers!! Maybe it's just me, but they usually make dope composition that when people cover them right, it's fire! The Mega Man series has some dope ones too.

If you're talking arcades, they were hacked versions of the original Street Fighter II Champion Edition

I remember them quite well

the geekiness in this thread is so entertaining. but i understand it all.

sagat was the man actually.

tiger uppercut!

Yeah, I remember those "modded" machines as well. They were super-cool at first, but they eventually started annoying me. It got to the point where it seemed like they were everywhere and all I wanted was some good ol' SF.

Yeah man, the music in Mega Man II was dope! Metal Man's stage in particular was great. I have vague plans of making my own version of it sometime soon...

greatest game everrr!!!!worst movie ever!!!!!!

I remember street fighter 1, where player one was RYU and player 2 was KEN. And you had to fight the boxer who looked suspiciously like mike tyson.

For some reason, I couldn't stop laughing when I read that. That and the 'Gief reference.

Yeah, I remeber playing that one too--it had great bonus rounds, but shitty execution of the super moves. If you could pull off a ha-do-ken, though, it would take off almost half of the enemy's power!

I think Balrog (in SF II) is based on that boxer.

Yes, I'm regular, thank you. I often take good, solid societies.

through my college years, i spent most of my free time (including actual class time :) in the arcades.

i always fantasied a game that had both SF characters vs MK characters.... did anyone ever make it happen?

SF's Ryu vs MK's (i forgot that ice dude's name :)

Ryu Vs. Sub Zero? Ryu would own his ass. In MK i was always more of a Scorpion kind of guy then Sub Zero. I could also own some people with Lou Kang.

Sub Zero

i liked that guy with tha razor hat too...

Raiden had the lightning.Scorpion had the spear with the GET OVER HERE!!

I was either a Raiden or a Sub-Zero kind of guy, but more often Sub-Zero. On the whole, though, I was a SF kind of guy; it's like MK didn't have the same fluency of movement or something--it seemed more choppy or something to me.

i'm sorry all the mk fans out there.....but Street Fighter is the untouchable. I mean when i think of being raised up...i think of street fighter and transformers...not mk

im feenin for a game now...SF2 dat is,dunno where im gunna find dat shit?

wonder if i can stil pull all that Guille shit??...no doubt!!

Awesome SF vs MK flash movie, Ryu vs Scropion...

agreed

like whoa

balrog!

TEKKEN>Bof dese games.

Double woah. That was wicked! PS. I'm a MKII man myself...

Tekken's a good sittin'-around-gettin-fucked-up-with-your-friends/party game, a good button-pushing game, but for real finesse, it's gotta be SF.

there's a good amount of depth in Tekken IMO. Really great characters but in the end, it's whoever's the best juggler and conterpuncher.


Soul Calibur on the other hand...

Don't get me wrong, I love Tekken--I've spent many hours playing it--but it's no SF.

Never played Soul Caliber.

check it out. really great use of 3D space more so thatn VF or tekken. Weapons combat is the shiz.

I feel you on the SF though
