JAPAN'S SSFT2 PLAYERS ARE THE CHEAPEST PLAYERS EVER

Yes... It's been a while since I've felt salty like this, but MAN Japanese Super Street Fighter II Turbo scene is a STRONG one! At Japan's ‪@big-one2ndchannel128‬ arcade, I got mad salty, but I can't help, but appreciate how great the players are. Enjoy!

[@kombatjenning]

Obvious reasons why people loved Sagat in the Street Fighter 2 saga but fun fact: Tiger Uppercut is only OD because of its HIT PRIORITY. The invincibility window of Tiger Uppercut is much smaller than people think. The moment Sagat gets about mid-height of the Uppercut before he lifts off is where the invincibility gets lost, which is why Justin kept trading so much with the Barcelona Attacks. As for the one Izuna Drop that caught Justin mid-air during the Tiger Uppercut is an even funnier situation of Sagat's hurtbox mid-air during the move versus the grab area for Vega. All I can say is Justin should thank his stars it wasn't the Rolling Izuna, otherwise, that moment would be even saltier. 🤣🤣🤣

Claw is one of the few hard matchups for O.Sagat, so much that several O. Sagat mains have a pocket O.Ken for that MU since his HP DP deals well with walldives.

[@kentang1528]

Yeah old Ken deals against claw's wall dives very well, but Claw's footsies are really a pain in the ass for Ken

[@LostChildOfTime]

How health bars work in street fighter 2 is still a mystery to me. Like the more health you have, the more damage it looks like you’re going to take. The less you have, the less it looks like you’re going to take unless the damage comes from a throw or a command grab. Also gotta love the fact it took every iteration of CPS2 SF2 for Chun-Li to be good.

[@hiddenremi]

That's a pretty standard thing in FG, called the "Guts" system, the less life you have the less damage you take.

[@LostChildOfTime]

@@hiddenremi i see. Capcom seems to have tossed it out once Alpha came in. But i suppose it re-emerged in games like Killer Instinct, if i'm not mistaken.

[@hiddenremi]

@@LostChildOfTime As far I see, Alpha also has this system it kicks in around 50% life depleated. Most Capcom fg will have some form of it, although I have no idea what the use of this is, since other fg have it also (Guilty Gear, BB etc)

[@esc_mike3546]

Yeah it's scaled, so the bar is non-linear. It's like a progress bar on old computers, the first part is FAST and the last little bit is SLOW. I noticed this way back when SF2 came out. I think it's a UI trick Capcom uses to make it seem more dramatic.

[@Honey1essBee]

I remember hearing once that there is a random chance to survive a hit when at low health. It was coded that way to keep things interesting. It would explain how Ryu survived.

[@XENOS_Indie_Game_Dev]

I've seen that happen so much, it's got to be intentional, the game is trolling you hard when your opponent has no health and they're not dead

[@airthrowDBT]

Damage is somewhat random in ST but there's no "randomly don't die" chance that I know of. There is a chance for EVERY hit to randomly dizzy regardless of stun, I believe it's 1/256 but don't quote me.

[@ShinUltima]

Not random chance to survive *per se* - it's that all SF2 versions have random damage. Each attack has a variable range about a mean, and it can vary by quite a bit. Being at low health also triggers a "guts" rating that lowers damage further. So low damage guts + low damage roll = survive what would normally be a fatal attack. In HF I've seen Dhalsim survive a Guile air throw at practically 0 health. It's super rare, but it happens.

[@airthrowDBT]

@@ShinUltima Yeahp that's how it works. I've also seen Zangief Mash for 80ish % damage on the bite or the face grab, by a human

[@ShinUltima]

@@airthrowDBT i can't say I've witnessed something like that myself. Not with a human playing against another human who was actively mashing to get out. CPU, hell yes, cheating bastards. But human vs. human, the most I can recall seeing is maybe 50%.

[@jakal911]

Those are casual players at the arcade? Damn man. I was in Japan and wish I could see them play live.

[@GentlemanQ]

The fact you can't punish Balrog's wall dive is insane. The only way i could go around Balrog's players who keep spamming that move is to sit in corner and take advantage of their mistakes or jump for an air-to-air with a light or medium punch. Moral of the day, never fight a Balrog mid-screen and if you do you better pray you guess right all the time.

[@zachw2538]

I was always a balrog/claw player. i got pretty good at putting the wall bounce wherever it needed to be for a backdrop. The tactics the player was using was pretty straightforward. air dominance through wall bounce and backflip anti airs. keep bouncing around and keep the pressure up to keep the oppenents guessing where you're going. the claw drop is rough because if you plant it as a cross up the opponent has to block into it instead of away from it which is very counter intuitive even once you know that.

[@ghostwolves666]

Blanka's short up ball beats wall dive clean because it hits on frame one. I think it's the only move that truly shuts it down, but then you're stuck playing Blanka.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

The walldive is a nightmare for everyone, from casuals to pros. I remember straight running a lobby for like 2 hours because I just kept dive, dive, diving. It got to the point that if I even hovered over Vega during the character select people would bounce 😂. The move and its mechanics are just so different than what you usually have to prepare for
