Well always I usally pick the fast little guy in most games, though since street fighter didn't have one and since speed never matterd to much in it E. Honda was the next best choice XD, inno he just looks cool and I thought his super fast punch was funny when I was a kid. And Ken just looks stupid imo [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].Quote:

That is what the ladies of fighting games are for. Speed. They do less damage, but who cares? They're faster. Last time I played SF was 2 Turbo. The machine at the dairy bar near me probably got $50 in quarters out of me. I later switched to Guilty Gear for my 2D fighter fix.
Chun-Li, all the way. If you can ever get someone stupid enough to walk or jump into a lightning kick, they're done.
yeah, but the thing is, that's why we have fireballs, if someone tries to pull that bullshit on you, you just throw a sonic boom in their face.
I remember playing SF2 Collector's Edition or something for the Genesis with my bro. it was fun never had to continue...til M. Bison -_-....but now a days i prefer Tekken but thanx to SF2 i became a fighter-game-guy
Whenever I take any flights from SIA (Singapore Airlines), I would play the original SF2, right in my seat. They have this collection of old SNES games which you can play, using the controller/phone thingy from the side of your seat. I always make it a point to complete the game (usually on level 8) with either Ryu/Ken/Guile. It's hard to execute the specials using the controller, but most of the time you don't need to if you know your character well.
Street Fighter is the ultimate old school fighting game. I only played the bonafide series on the SNES, and it was awesome.
I always hated Ryu, for some odd reason.
I mean, back in the day when Street Fighter was new, and the complete rage for all gamers within the fighting genre.
Now, I'm a complete MvC junkie. Rather, a Vs. Series nut. But, everyone would easily say an MvC junkie considering I own both arcade machines.
Ryu for me never got good until X-Men v. Street Fighter, where I finally let go of Ken, and only because Ryu's supers were so much better. During the actual Street Fighter & Alpha Series games, Fei Long was my absolute favorite. Who doesn't love Bruce Lee!? And, his little victory pose, where he'd stand in horse-stance simply vibrating and howling. Classic greatness.
As long as you do not mention the EX Series, Street Fighter can do no wrong.
Oh. And, I'll always hate Sagat, whose name I've mispronounced for the better portion of my life. And, considering my discontent for the character I had dubbed him "Sagat (sa-git) the Faggot." .. I hate him.
i loved alpha 2 once i figured out how to change ryu into ken and akuma. i also thought dan was hilarious, "gaduken!" sign an autograph and throw it at you.
and of course chun-li, once you got good with her, you were unstoppable.
Anyone played the Street Fighter EX series? I thought it was a great series and underrated by many fans. The expert mode was fantastic and can easily take you days to clear all the seemingly impossible moves. Best thing I liked about this series is the classic gameplay engine, which is really solid and it's the type of game that 2 good players can keep going round after round without getting bored.
Huh? Change Ryu into Ken and Akuma?Quote:

Anyways... Evil Ryu and Super Akuma all the way! Though I don't pick Super Akuma much cuz he's so fast and strong. Double air fireballs!.
Playing the saturn version, one time I played Evil Ryu and I ended up fighting Super Akuma at the end. He owned me so fast and it was a 1 time chance to fight him. There's a secret to fight him, but I don't own my saturn anymore. Not sure if it's possible for the arcade version, but I'll have to look.
Chun Li owned
My favorite characters were always ryu ken and chun li. As for akuma, I thought he wasn't that good, and it's true in my case because I always kill him easily... computer or friend/stranger. I loved Ken because his combos just seem cool, 3 hit uppercut[last one all firey]. Ryu was just badass... even in the anime. Chun Li is also very good if you know how to use her.

I remember seeing some video of Chun Li vs Ken, and that was just krazy. Amazing come back, after seeing that I liked Ken even more.
Ah, you talking about the one where Chun Li just needed one more hit to win, even with a blocked special move for chip damage? Haha, that was pure gold! I couldn't believe that the Ken guy PARRIED all of Chun Li's 16 or 17 or whatever hit combo special, then won with his own super.Quote:

As for me, my choice of characters are (in no order):
Akuma, Chun Li, Ken, Ryu, Maki, Sakura, Ibuki, Makoto, and Yun.
hahah yeah thats the video I'm talking about. when I saw that I was freaking out. good stuff.
I like your choice of characters, kooshi, except I'm not too familiar with Maki, Ibuki, Makoto or Yun. Sakura and Akuma are alright though, I prefer Sakura.
The best character in recent Street Fighter history is easily Remy. Goddamn, I like him so much that I even imported a nice figurine.
So sexy design.
Dhalsim!! With his stretchy kicks allowed me to keep my 4 year old little sister at bay for hours at a time lol. Friggin Saggat was so hard to beat. Balrog was a joke tho.
Raging Demon
naw Ken way better. I beat MVC 2 for the first time using Ken, Gambit, and Captain Commando.
now I use Ken, Captain Commando, and Iron man ...
Gambit still sexy, they should of put him in the x-men movies -_-
Thats right, I never noticed him not being in the movies, How could we forget the first mutant ragin Cajun?
gambit is the man in x-men! also, in the games, to prove it, he has his own glitch for instant victory which make him bounce off the wall and off the screen..*shrug*
the characters you people mentioned are godly, but i just say charlie or sakura(though, i never understood why they always made her shinku-hadouken firing upwards..).
I loved SF2. Played it all the time. I also played a bit of Alpha 1 where you can have ken + ryu vs bison in a 2v1. That was great.
