THE FOUR KINGS DESTROYED ME IN SF2 WORLD WARRIOR

[@SpiralSword40]

When I was younger, it was rare for me to beat Vega. Whenever I did, Sagat crushed all of my dreams. The Shadaloo Kings were vicious.

[@mindcrome]

Sagat definitely gave me more trouble than Bison. Bison was relatively easy.

Yes, this was precisely why Champion Edition was made and many moves got adjusted. Zangief was absolutely unplayable if he got Okie on you just once in the game, it was all over. SPD had mad range and he could basically link any button into it, the move literally had no start up frames, it was instantaneous like a warp. Zangief could grab you after spotting you through his binoculars.

This is the one that started it all for me. Such fond memories.

[@weztone-l5w]

Remember having SF2 on snes and i grinded all the way to Bison on the hardest difficulty with Ruy. Vega was hard but menage to get thrue, but then the pain came with Sagat. For gods sake that tiger echoed probably for good 120 minutes straight. It was so frustrating but I managed to finally win. And Bison.. I Could win ONE round but then he become a GOD and it was impossible to win.. Some day i will have my revenge!

[@lazarushernandez5827]

I went crazy when EGM put out the April's Fools Joke. You couldn't really try this at the arcades because you were always getting challenged. I tried it on the home versions: first on the SNES World Warrior and then on the Genesis Special Championship Edition. Tried beating the game at the highest difficulty to try and unlock Sheng Long. When it didn't work, tried to beat it without losing a match/ie no continues. When that didn't work either, I tried to beat it without losing a round. At this point the frustration factor when you owned all of the characters before getting to either Vega or Sagat and having them take one round from you. And then be a pushover for the third round. 😣😣🤬🤬 The next step beyond that was perfect rounds/no damage, and I don't think I ever pulled that off.

[@leonordeborbon2121]

claw air kicks have big hitbox under him but not above him. the thing is wait him to wall jump and air kick him from an upper position. You can air kick him on his wake up because he has no antinair and most of times he will wake up jump, eating your air kick if you are jumping over him, not even need to cross up.

I remember spending ages trying to beat Bison with Zangief… That was the last character ending I needed to have beaten the game with everyone! Happy days lol

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

bison is just hard... some (or a lot) of it is just luck too... no matter who you are.... but ya, some characters obviously do a bit better, not having some of the weaknesses of other characters, and having some strengths that the other characters don't have, when it comes to against bison, (or whoever too) It's been so long (years and years and years), so I can't really remember who struggled with the most against bison... usually/generally zangief and dhalsim are the "weakest", though honda and blanka can sometimes have some difficulties too ryu/ken (funny, how literally no difference between them at all in terms of play), chun li, and guile, are definitely the top tier characters in SF2, though against humans chun-li is one lower tier, but against the computer, she's up in the top tier with ryu/ken and guile (not sure if the tiers are different with pros or not, maybe justin can chime in on this, at the pro level, what's the tier/ranking of the characters in SF2)

[@MinecraftIsLoveMinecraftIsLife]

about 8 months ago i was playing sf2 on my family's sega megadrive 2. i was playing ryu and coming from sf5 and sf6 to this game was tough. games like these were designed to be a coin vacuum lol. i had to play each character multiple times to beat them. through sheer determination and luck i finally got onto playing against bison. that guy was so hard to fight against. i fought against him in so many battles that the match counter got to match 99 and due to memory limits stopped counting after that and i still hadn't beat him. i eventually gave up because my mom was calling me for dinner. i haven't played the game since then, mostly because having to switch between kicks and punches by pressing the start button was really annoying. but one day i swear i will beat him and i will see ryu's ending.

World Warrior would just occasionally have the CPU decide to allow your close range low kicks to pass through them, after which they punished you. There's probably videos about it on KZbin, I'm sure. I'm pretty sure the only way I ever beat CPU Bison with Zangief was just spamming him with standing jumping kicks and jabs. It's essentially the same way any decent Chun Li player can crush Bison repeatedly in this version.

You could cancel a no charge sonic boom into a no charge flash kick and loop it, going higher and higher until you wrap vertically, and once you did that and kept going, you couldn't be hit until you stopped the loop. Watching your opponent go thru you trying to hit you out of the air was so good 😂

I love how Justin does a little jump with every SPD input

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

chuckle... justin wong struggling against vega (J/K)... too good though for us viewers, hehe... for me, there was 2 ways to deal with vega: (patience, waiting for opportunities) 1. time your jumps to his jumps: vega jumps, you then jump a bit later (and far enough away from his jump that he can't hit you), so that just as he's landing from his jump, your jump (and attack) will hit him, if you get him in the corner, he's dead "90%" of the time, as you can keep jumping and hitting him, as he tries to jump... 2. take advantage of his jumping, and throw him, try to walk-cross-over his jumps and throw him when he lands, or just block his jump, and try to throw him when he lands (unless vega is too fast to get the throw on him, can't remember, as it's been many many many many years, lol)

SF2 has no projectile invincibility. But the move has no hurtboxes from the knees up untill the head, so the playable characters' projectiles go through it. Too bad Sagat's hit on either the head or the shins.

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

if remember right... (not sure now, lol), even in SF2, you can do zangief's spinning punch, which makes him immune to fireballs (they go through him, so the timing can be difficult, and then there's still the opponent's next attack, so, it's still dangerous for you to to do the spinning punch), and I think it does work for both of sagat's fireballs, both the high and low one, but could be wrong... hadn't played this game for "just" a few decades, lol

[@Longlostpuss]

The way to beat Vega is not to go after him, you will never win the air or neutral game with him as long as he is on his feet, it doesn't matter who you pick. This strategy is specifically for Zangief: - Let Vega do all his Kangaroo hopping and wall bouncing 100 times block his hits and then wait for the one moment where he hops back and then walks the length of the screen up to you to go for his throw - it's here you need to time your SPD. Sometimes he's stupid enough to do this 3 times in a round and that's all you need. Failing that, once you get Oki on him (timing a sweep from behind after his wall bounce usually works) keep doing jumping body splash forward as he gets up and tries to back flip and you'll hit him and can do it into SPD, or just keep hitting him with it in rhythm every time he gets up until he dizzies. This specific part of the strategy can be swapped out for the other characters too and their respective sweeps and jumping attacks. I can thank the SNES version allowing me 100 continues to learn the strategies for each character, those were good times.

[@snoopyshultz]
