WHO THE HELL PLAYS THAT GAME STILL?!!!! Posted by Tien Gouki on 05:29:2001 05:00 AM: I still play ST on my PSX. But I wish I had the Dreamcast version. And when will ST be released for Dreamcast in the US? Posted by LOLO on 05:29:2001 05:57 AM: 3rd Strike is a good game... ST is a more simple game so more ppl plays it... Posted by Shin Kyo on 05:29:2001 06:07 AM: ...Super Turbo is relatively simple and balanced...and was a very good fighter at its time...making the game a classic for tournament play.. while 3S, with its parry...is difficult for newbie to learn...making it less popular amount the general players...

And when will ST be released for Dreamcast in the US? ST won't be released in the US. You'll have a hard time finding the Japanese one too. I personally like 3s better than ST but not because its more complicated or whatever. ST is good because almost any character can be any other character. There are plenty of options with using original characters. Plus, 3s has a weak following in the US and the SF2 serious was insanely popular here so we got a lot of nostalgic players. I personally like HF the best but thats a different topic. Posted by Apoc on 05:29:2001 11:07 AM: lol. K. ST is easier to learn? Not at this point. You get worked by anyone who knows the game and don't learn if you don't play someone that knows the game. ST has staying power because it is fun,balanced and strategic. Not a lot of bs. It's the fastest sf being played in tourneys right now and is the one you can make the least amount of mistakes on. It's speed, skill, and finesse all in one. There is a good balance for the turtle vs. the aggressor. Age doesn't affect sports or seriously strategic games. Why would time be a factor in sf? A good sf game will always get play. 3s died the earliest of any tourney game to date without a new version killing it itself. 2i got more tourney play. I can only believe the big issue is fun. For whatever reason(speed definately being a factor) 3s was not as fun to the 3 players in a tournament setting. Regardless if any game is superior on paper...the fun factor rulez all as of now. And I don't know many that have seriously gotten into ST that don't have a ball with great competition. Apoc. Posted by el_diablo on 05:29:2001 11:08 AM: cuz' it's the best SF ever..... it's a MASTERPIECE!!!! Posted by HyperViperSniper on 05:29:2001 11:46 AM: 3rd Strike has been out longer than a year. HVS Posted by Shotokan on 05:29:2001 11:50 AM: I understand where you are coming from but sometimes the Old School stuff is liked more. I won't say better. Think about it. Which is liked more? MK4 or MK3? Shi*! I'd pick MK2 over MK4. I like 3s anyways. It's better than MvC2 IMO but that's how thing are in the States. In Japan, 3S is way more popular than MvC2. You should be understand why. -SHOTOKAN Posted by Mr Creed on 05:29:2001 11:52 AM: ST is a great game, no question. Come to think of it, ST would be my fav SF game after 3S. I love the old style graphics is ST much more than that anime alpha crap, plus it has all of the old and damn good characters. I am suprised that this game is more popular than 3S(in the US?) but at the same time I am happy about this. Why? well because ST is such a good game and it is good to know that people can still have so much fun with such a classic game especially when everyone seems to be so into that MvsC2 bullshit. I would rather see people play 3S more, but I would also rather see people play ST than CvsSNK or MvsC2. Posted by FingersFlanagan on 05:29:2001 12:01 PM: heheheheh...Super Turbo?..Im gettin the japanese jamma board in this week.That is the best SF ever in my opinon.Right now Im learning 3rd Strike.But I dont think it will ever compare. Posted by JumpsuitJesse on 05:29:2001 01:05 PM: Why on earth would you even compare ST to 3S?? That's like comparing a 67 Ford Shelby GT 500 to a modern day Ford Mustang Cobra. One is a classic the other is new with all kinds of cool gadgets...but still... it's probably the finest of it's line. ST(To me) represents everything that true Street Fighter is suppose to be. It is the root of all the eye candy games fighting games that you all are so in love with today. Give me ST or Hyper Fighting over 3rd Strike any day. JumpsuitJesse "Style over substance" The Cell Posted by Mummy-B on 05:29:2001 01:51 PM: Super Street Fighter 2 X is the pinnacle of the SFII series, the one that began it all. Just like people still play MvC2, it's the pinnacle of the VS series (I don't consider Capcom vs SNK in the quite the same category as MvC2 as far as the VS series goes - I think it's somwhere between the conventional SF series and the VS series). But 3S *is* a MUCH harder game to be an expert at. I watched my Japanese friends play, and they make a rule for no throws, and they can't kill each other because they take no damage from anything. Posted by chunkis on 05:29:2001 02:12 PM: You said it jesse.....super turbo is the one true streetfighter..This has been proven over the years....ST will still be around when the outhers are forgoten about.....I think the people who think st is not as good as the outhers have only forgoten whats it like to play it......super turbo will always be in tournaments!!!!!!!And will continue to flurish in the streetfighter world. P.s you have to be at a certain age to apreacte super turbo...The newer,younger gamer does not undersatnd how a simple and yet so complex game as st could be better than..alpha,3rd strike,and mvc...when super turbo is played the way it was made to be played no outher game can even come close to it..... Posted by crossover on 05:29:2001 03:42 PM: jessie - I totally agree...I think that the old-man's party at the ST machine at B4 sums it all up. Some of the younger players at ECC were somewhat interested in learning the game and were asking some questions. I do agree that it does take some appreciation, and I cringe when I hear comments such as 'ST is lame'. Go look at some of the people playing that game at the next major tournament that you go to and I'm sure you'll probably see someone who contributed to the strategy guide that you are trying to learn from.... I actually was checking ID's this past weekend for people entered in ST Posted by JAG on 05:29:2001 08:41 PM: Some games just die hard. They were great for their times and can still be enjoyed to this day. Examples: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Mortal Kombat II and Joust. Posted by Servebot on 05:29:2001 09:26 PM: ST is more balanced and easier to get into. 3s has more steep learning curve, too me its a parry and throw fest. Posted by TigeR GenocidE on 05:29:2001 10:55 PM: I guess people don't like 3S because it's to new? And I guess people don't like the new people either.

Examples: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Mortal Kombat II and Joust. Die hard? Where've you been? Ppl STILL play ST all over. ST never will die. Just too many true playahs that play it. If you ever get into SF eventually you make you way to playing ST somewhere at a tourney. Then once playing a seasoned ST player and getting solid stomped left and right, you're forced to realize there's more to the game than what it appears. Even after you know the strategies ONE mistake could mean the game. Every sf tourney player eventually gets around to playing ST. It's just good clean fun without all the bs. Check b5...clear as day that it's not even close to dead. 3s got a resurgeance from the USA vs. Japan tourney...before then(and prolly still) 3s was low on the tourney circuit only appearing in or near the hotspots for 3s. But no one really cared to travel for it:/ Though I think it would be nice to have a 3s tourney instead of exhibition at b5. Apoc. Posted by War Destroyer on 05:30:2001 12:15 AM: ST is just a classic fighter with good balance and high fun factor. 3S is decent but relies too much on who has the better reflexes than strategy, it's also a waiting game. Posted by Gaseous Snake on 05:30:2001 02:47 AM: Because Super Turbo marks the high for Capcom before all the bullshit that followed Posted by Xenster on 05:30:2001 03:32 AM: learning curve, gaming engine.. it's just too hard for most people to get used to a game that requires reflexe skills, yes, they come after time, but they come... also, it's not all parrying, and parrying isn't even that hard to do =P Also, 3s has been out for longer than mvc2 I believe...
