I've been playing extra story cause that's really the last thing left that I can do to get any significant fight money and boy howdy this perfect ai Bipson who starts with both meters full is a total blast to fight.

Yeah the hard story mode made me want to gouge my eyes out with some of the cheater AI poo poo. At least it was super easy to just replay poo poo endlessly, unlike online where it dumps you through a shitload of loading each time.

If that's the Nash vs Bison fight, just back up a little as Nash and do HP Tragedy Assault. Dash back twice (you might have to play with the spacing some) and keep doing it until you have some bar and then try to zone him with st mp, b.mk, and EX scythe. Also, if you get Bison to chip and have full bar, remember that Nash's super is two qcb P and not K...

A bunch of people do even though they will never come into contact with a Japanese player and you'd have to be kind of a retard to play SF with any seriousness but still be confused by the names in a Japanese ROM or whatever.

I think it's just an in-group and/or closet weeb thing that people try to rationalize to be something else

when I do it, it's so that it's easier to talk about the characters without any confusion. I'm a relic though but many years ago a lot of info came over here from Japanese sources and that naming schema helped avoid confusion

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
It's just easier when I talk with Korean/Japanese players. Japanese players exclusively use the Japanese names of course but the older Koreans in particular will use one set or the other depending on what language their starting arcade was running so the boxer/claw/dictator notation is really useful

I think it made more sense when a lot of resources on SF came from Japan, nowadays it's just a vestigial thing and used just as a nickname for the characters. Sometimes you just wanna call Vega Claw.

Seems like theres overlap between people that use those names and people that say forward and roundhouse and stuff.

This is actually very useful today if you play sf games on fightcade and talk to jp/Korean players on there

Which is a little strange, because jab/strong/fierce/short/forward/roundhouse is a very American thing. LMH is the Japanese-style notation.



I like short/forward/roundhouse/etc for verbal discussion since LP MP HP are kind of unwieldy and awkward to say out loud IMO.

If people are using that terminology online in 2016, they are probably the same people who say claw because they read SRK forums a lot.

No, it won't, when they re-released 3rd Strike, they used the original version everyone loves instead of 3rd Strike 2.0 which everyone hated.

CvS2 wasn't nearly as big as MvC2 and 3S in America, meaning not a "main event" game, pretty much after 2004.
Hell, by 2006 even GG was up there only behind 3S in my neck of the woods (the South).

Yes, people still played and supported it but it wasn't a MAIN game for most people the way Marvel and 3rd were.

I use them bc I grew up playing SF2 and that's what the attacks were called

This is also why I call the characters by their names

I call Vega Claw because its a way cooler name, I also sometimes use Boxer but I don't know why. Maybe because when someone says Balrog I think of LotR.

Iirc roll cancels actually made those not in the top tier more competitive; without them you'd've been seeing even more Sagats, Sakuras and Blankas.

Forward is also extremely dumb in this age of command normals that use the 6 input I agree, but I still use them

They are from karate. It was cool to appear knowledgeable about karate among kids in the 90s, you see. McDojos were still considered a good way to become a resident badass like in the movies. If you heard us talking about roundhouses and jabs you might think we are cool karate guys and not fighting game nerds.
