EVO 2022 - THE FIRST CRUSADE | Ultra Street Fighter II Tournament

The Evolution Championship Series (Evo) is the world's largest fighting game event bringing together competitors and spectators from all over the world to express their love of the battle and the lore. Evo returned to the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada from August 5th - August 7th, 2022, and featured a main tournament line up of 10 titles and a whopping 52 official side events, under Vortex Gallery.
The Shilluminati would come together offline for the first time to host THE FIRST CRUSADE, a tournament series for Street Fighter Alpha 3, Ultra Street Fighter II, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers (USF2) released in May 2017 as the 6th official sequel of the Street Fighter II series after The World Warrior. A direct update to 1996's Super Street Fighter II Turbo, players are able to access Violent Ken, Evil Ryu, and for the first time in a competitive setting, Shin Akuma. USF2 would make its debut at Evo on August 5th with 20 players fighting it out to be the champion on the Nintendo Switch exclusive.
Will the power of the final challengers trump the classic fighters?

USF2 needs to be ported on to the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam.

[@KingGamerSiam]

No, new version Ultra Street Fighter 2 Turbo Full screen classic mode With all the previous SF2 map colours More colour selection options instead of 3 or 4 selection All Custom colours can be selected from the character select instead of individually applying the colour and changing it everytime you want to use a different custom colour More custom colour slots, say 30 in total Instead of buddy battle, have an option for 2v1 arcade mode like Alpha 3, also have an additional mode 2v2, 4 characters on screen at the same time. The roster is fine, to be honest you can’t add anyone in SF2 because it wouldn’t make sense, and you don’t need to, but what you can do is add more alter egos like Dark Chun Li or one character you can add and it would be pretty fitting is probably Decapre Have options for turbo speed New super moves This one is insane but cool, have colour options for stages, imagine that for example turning Ken’s stage sky into red or something. And that is Ultra Street Fighter 2 Turbo!!! For all Consoles!!!

[@SergeEXE2]

Shin Akuma was added in a patch back in 2017 a few months after it came out, but hardly anyone was playing at that point. He's only available for single player and local matches. This game is absolutely bananas and should get played more just because it's so ridiculous.

[@franchisethebull]

I don't think he was added in a patch, as I don't see any information about that online. I think he was always there.

[@tarasVgame]

Thank you for upload video! 👍👍

[@NYCHeavyHitz212]

I’ve been wondering what’s the reason for Cammy stage each time people play and I think it has nothing to do with functionality. It’s prolly my fav theme in the series, so maybe everyone agrees.

[@Grimlo9ic]

My favorite OCRemix of all time is "Cammy by Night" by mv. "Spittin' Narcissim" is only second.

[@theraymunator]

In Super Turbo, Cammy's stage was the most balanced in terms of speed, as all stages in SF2 run at different speeds. In Ultra, I think it's just tradition since as far as I'm concerned the stage speed has been standardized.

[@NYCHeavyHitz212]

[@warangelcpgamebreak]

You can't let kids win. Games are for fun, but they can teach you a lot about life. Like to bounce back from a loss. I'd say fighting games, chess, card games and Souls games teach you a lot of lessons.

[@MrN0b0dy85]

How worthwhile would it be to focus on this game as a competitive outlet? I ask because I recently picked it up and am enjoying it, but I am unsure of the community's activity playing this game.

[@streetfighter2tv843]

If you want to be competitive, play Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, aka SSF2x the grandmaster challenge. This game really wasn't meant for serious competition.

I would like to know the difference between this version and the super turbo, the game looks the same, only without the old characters.

[@michaelpohl9077]

New characters, throws can be fully broken without taking any damage, even "hold" grabs, but it's much harder than in the original. Overall, bugs ans glitches have been removed. This includes strategies like "stored" supers from Chun Li and E. Honda.

[@robertmanes9333]

@@michaelpohl9077 what do you mean by harder? It is known by OGs that the US version of ST has the most difficult computer AI of any SF

[@NYCHeavyHitz212]

@@robertmanes9333 I think they mean harder to break throws maybe?

[@michaelpecukonis5074]

More than that. There are a few games with this art style. Frames fixed glitch issues if they were intrusive. Bottom tiers are more viable. You would have to go watch a vid or read. I couldn't tell you everything.

Only north americans think SSF2T is competitive. Whole world play HSF2. The same with SFA2 while almost all other countries play SFZ2A.

[@ThePageofCups]

I don't know if that's the case. Fightcade would have way more people play HSF2 and SFZ2A if that were the case since North Americans make up a minority of the playerbase.
