The "real name" is Super Street Fighter 2X: Grandmaster's Challenge or just Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo in the US. quote: Originally posted by mixup can anyone help me out with the japanese version of this game(with a movelist/strats for Zan?) i am a HUGE newbie and i have trouble even beating most characters (this is what i get when i play mvc2 for the past year and a half) i can pull of 360's well and other basic strats but i wasn't into the game when it was really popular. Apoc? thank you anyways! I'll take care of the movelist: Lariat: 3P or 3K Screw Piledriver: 360+P Running Bear Grab: Far, 360+K Siberian Suplex: Close, 360+K Banishing Flat: F,DF,D+P *Final Atomic Buster: 720+P Also, F+MP and F+FP make Zangief do a hopping headbutt much like his vertical jumping U+FP. Use middle attacks for his normal throws and strong attacks for his normal holds. He has at least one airthrow, but the button escapes me. Hope I helped. -Paul Posted by mixup on 09:15:2001 07:56 AM: Very much, thanks. Anyone know any strats against the other characters? I only get to fight the computer for now.

Anyone know any strats against the other characters? I only get to fight the computer for now. Here are a few introductory strats: -Use that Banishing Flat! Not only does it tick into an SPD/FAB really well, but it's so fast in ST that it can be used as a sort of dash. Close the gap after landing those grabs. ^_- -Lariats, particularly the kick Lariat, are decent anti-air when done late. From a distance, far standing HK, standing MK, and standing FP are okay. Standing MK works wonders against the jump-happy CPU Ken. -When playing the CPU, use throws more often than holds. Some CPU characters (like Bison, for instance) are able to break out of holds before getting even a single hit in. You're better off damage- and positioning-wise with a teched throw. -Determine the maximum range for the SPD and practice pulling them off at that range. Extremely important for CPU and human opponents alike. If you're really close, a Siberian Suplex is superior to an SPD damage-wise. -Standing MK and ducking MK are decent pokes; mix them up with standard SPD ticks if the range is right. -Ducking LK cancelled into the Running Bear Grab can work very well against human opponents if they're not expecting it. -My favorite combo, though simple: crossup D+FP (splash), ducking LPx3, ducking HK. For more devestating combos, download NKI Vol. 4; Zangief's Touch of Death is at the end. -Paul Posted by mixup on 09:16:2001 03:50 AM: Thanks man, i love this game! where can i find the vid you're talking about?

You can try gamecombos.com, but it seems to be a broken link now. Pity, that. -Paul Posted by nin on 09:16:2001 07:18 AM: anyone try gief vs akuma match?this match always perfect win by akuma.... Posted by Apprentice on 09:16:2001 10:46 AM: You can get the Touch of Death combo video at EvilGill's FTP site: ftp://24.169.252.42/SFSuperturbo/fe...06-st-nki04.mpa Their ST and 3S tourney/casual-play footage alone totals over a gig! Just plain orgasmic stuff. Paul Posted by nin on 09:17:2001 09:59 AM: gief is not top tier.
