@SELG88 not get in it?
@laakuma WHAT WOULD TOMO`S GUILE DO AGAINST A VIRTUAL LOCK AGAINST SAGAT?
No, I didn’t. Mike went without me.
Hey Jeff, just wondering, did you play in the big Super Street Fighter II tournament held by capcom that Mike Watson won against Jesse Howard?
You’d take fools to school and then take them out to lunch. Haha, I like that. Good shit, Schaeffer. Thanks for sharing.
Super didn’t just bomb in the arcades, but in the home consoles as well. Capcom overestimated demand for the SNES & Genesis ports of SSF2, based on the great sales of the previous SF2 ports, and overproduced copies. When they were released in the summer of ’94, they totally bombed (especially with MK2 so close to release that September), and the gaming public lashed back at Capcom for releasing yet another SF2 revision for $60-$70. Surprisingly SNES SSF2 sold 2 mil in Japan alone.
It is because back then IT WAS IMPORTANT. I mean you got dozens of people all over the place just dedicating all their spare time to coming and beating you….when you play people like that, its memorable.
I find it amazing how you remember each match separately. Must have been an awesome time in your life.
It’s interesting about Osaka’s counterpick. He did get the correct consultation as Sim was Sagat’s hardest fight in Super. It’s just too bad for him you had experience in the match.
MIke plays GUILE differently than me, I never do that up forward kick when I play him, I jump and air throw alow, and mis that up with jump up roundhouse early, low roundhouse and standing roundhouse, or duck fierce then throw if it hit me. Mike likes the low dmg forward, which is good, but I liked the style BIG damage move air throw, like I did on Daigo when he tried to jump up against my guile. Like that. HUGE DMG
Hi Jeff,
if you haven’t already checked it out, there’s footage of a Super tournament from the midwest from 1994 here on youtube. It’s the one where Mike Watson (as the only cali-guy I think) traveled there and won.
There’s stuff like Mike doing your “meaty c.forward ->c.strong ->flashkick” combo in it.
Anyways, just search for “1994 SSF2 Tournament” and the parts will be right there. They are all uploaded by “vengersama” (Jesse Howard).
Agree. SSF2 got the same reaction everywhere.
I love these old stories about tactics when they were brand new. Stuff that’s just common knowledge today, but back then, little tactics didn’t spread as fast.
Man you really took me back in time, SSF2 had the same reaction here in Kuwait it was SF2′s darkest hour.
Great videos, keep it up man.
Thank you. I am nice, just when we are playing, very competitive, as people will testify to. I have the “fire” so to speak.
Sounds like it was a really different attitude back then in the SF2 tourney days…either that or you’re just a super nice dude. Either way good stuff thx for the stories.
