Picking an older more powerful version of a character (IV Zangief/Sagat) would be, without doubt, the dumbest thing that ever happened to Street fighter.

There's no way in hell that Capcom will mess up this bad...

They did it in '94... :pac:

that games as popular as street fighter at this stage.
i dont think they did bad with that, they molded the survival horror genre

True it is a good game,but not a patch on the previous resident evils.
Anyway Ken is right. No chance Capcom will introduce selectable different version characters.they aren't that stupid..i hope
Balance would go out the window

Why is Sagat so high?
Has he been buffed up. I haven't heard anything about him.

All the vanilla arcade monsters are playing AE it seems so it brings back a lot of vanilla sagat players. Also, i noticed not one Sagat in the top 20 rankings :-(

Also only 1 akuma and it been Tokido... ffs

I think this is just Engrish like DooM said. Although the whole ST point is a good one and I agree with it

Picking O characters had one drawback in that you could not soften throws, which was introduced in ST. You might argue that you couldn't soften in Super anyway, but when facing an ST character and you're fighting from the perspective of the Super system, it seems like a big draw back. There are some O characters which are debatable better than their N counterpart. Some O characters are not worth using at all.

This is where it's interesting because O.Hawk O.Ken, O.Sagat and maybe O.Honda are a lot better than their N renditions. The only reason the N character is favorable in these cases IMO is because they can soften throws and have supers (or maybe because some people like certain aspects of the N ken char, like Ken's mash throw mixup)(of course not having a super in some cases might be worth the buff)

There's nothing new being added to the game system (AFAIK) in AE so switching to older versions of characters does seem a bit odd. I'm aware they have done it before but if the game system has not changed much then doesn't if fly in the face of re-balancing? I'm not fully aware of specific character changes but even so, my point still stands I believe anyway. Picking the older version to get back some lost char changes just seems mad, it's a no brainer and makes the re-balancing act look stupid since the playing field has not been changed in anyway at all

There wasn't many specific char changes from Super to ST, afaik, which is why it was more of a trivial thing to use older characters in ST, because the systematic drawback was there, so it was kind of at your own peril. There was no trouble with it, just O.Sagat was a bit crazy :pac: I'm not saying they should take away O character's techs in AE, just a comparison :L

That being said, it's an interesting discussion point.

Is Blankas walk forward animation different or are my eyes messing with me?

Ultra meter was beside the energy bar too and were green and purple if my eyes are not deceiving me.

that's where the ultra meter is on the ios version!

ssf4 for the iphone is terrible, not sure why they made it. Joke

i suppose im harsh basing it on the original/xbox, just seems unpractical.
Didnt know it had multiplayer though, better revist

Damn Honda is really good normally I lose like 80% of my matches (with sakura) now i've won 4/6 with Honda(I do have turbo on though:p)

Keep going my man!

I think I'll stick to the piano method(even though sliding is easier)because I prefer keeping my fingers on each button, i'll keep using Sakura even if I can't perform her stupid tatsu links online,I do love her mixups after ex tatsu though.
