Will have a look at that Relikk, cheers
CE is SO slow compared to HF! How are you recording that btw?
Amazing to see the differences in speed between the SF2 versions, aye. CE was the perfect boost compared to World Warrior, now it's considered slow as you say.
Recorded with Fraps. It was being temperamental with me today at 1080p, though. Slowdowns and only recording at 30fps. So the video's only 480p and 30fps.0 -

Don't get me wrong, CE is my favourite version of SF2 also It's just after playing HF for a while now, to see the speed differential in CE is pretty noticeable. I personally think HF is too fast 
Question, why were there only bootlegs of CE made? No hacks of HF ever surfaced did they?0 -

One thing I've noticed from watching your videos Relikk, is that my timing is way off...at least in HF it is. You're catching dragon punches right when they do the most damage (just before the AI hits you)...whereas the AI are kinds just jumping into my ones. I can time things much better in TWW & CE....HF is just so bloody fast 0

Made it to Sagat....again...beaten...again. However, I done the unthinkable & continued, and finally beat the fecker on the next credit! Bison took another two or three credits, but I eventually dispatched him too (first time fighting him in HF on this difficulty level so needed the experience).
If Guile/E.Honda/Blanka start as early fights, I'll do well. If they're the last of the regular 8 to fight, they're cheating b******s 0 -
Honestly, I'm gonna celebrate when I 1cc this fecker
SO bloody frustrating, you can have an opponent nearly finished off & the simple act of a fireball not coming out can result in the loss of a round, despite having loads of health. The hit damage the AI has (particularly as you progress toward the bosses) is just insane, the lack of the AI needing to charge moves & at such speed is messing up by tactics. E.Honda's vertical sumo is just soul destroying at times, as it can dizzy you, & then he jumps in & takes half your entire health meter away with a chain of combos. Argh!!! 0 -

If it makes you feel any better I 1cc'd HF and SSF2 on my very first tries when they were released in the arcades.
(Sorry, had to. True though)
SSF2 is pretty much HF with 4 new characters. The core 12 are almost identical with minor changes that won't cause problems in single player. If you have HF down, SSF2 will be easy.
HSF2 is the same as ST in terms of difficulty. You can choose different versions of your character and that can help. For example WW Ken/Ryu: 3 hit tatsu, throws can't be tech'd, average 3 hits to stun, no supers. CE/HF the same, Ken faster tatsu etc. Older versions do more damage, also. Then there's the normal or old versions from SSF2 with no supers and their original movesets. You'd see a lot of people using the old version of Sagat (O.Sagat) in tournaments because he had faster Tiger shots and would recover the animation faster. Useful for pinning people in the corner and zoning from distance. He could combo from some normal moves whereas in ST he couldn't. Little differences in the original versions like that can help but again they have their downsides, no supers and can't tech throws.0 -

Ha feck off I almost 1cc'd SSF2 on my first ever play in the arcade too...made it to Bison & I lost the final round. I blame the pressure of the crowds, remember how small crowds use to appear out of nowhere to watch those who made it to the bosses back then? HF I always found more difficult than SSF2, I only ever made it to Balrog back then & that was just the one time (until now, where I can get to Sagat more often than not at the mo).
Not too worried about SSF2 anyway, but will give SSF2T & HSF2 a miss on account of what you're saying/ I'll move onto SF3 & see how I fare out 0 -

Finally, finally, finally...I've done it HF 1cc'd on the hardest setting! It's been a long time coming...23 years in fact I'm still actually shaking here, because beating Sagat first time got the nerves going, but that last Bison fight really got them going.
Round 1 - Double K.O.
Round 2 - Bison beat me with a perfect
Round 3 - I won with not too much room for comfort
Final Round - I won with a slight bit more room for comfort.
Chuffed, it's always been a blemish for me, having never beat this on arcade difficulty, but today, I can hold my head high knowing I've at least done that
Next up, SSF2 0 -
Congrats! Looks like I have 25 years to go until i reach your level! :pac:
I was looking for a game documentary to watch today and this popped up.

Don't mind me, I took a long break from gaming during my late teens to mid/late 20's My SF skills were very rusty as a result, & all this HF practice has been good to brush off the dust & play at least somewhat decently again. I reckon I was much better than I am now, all the stuff you see Reilikk doing in his vids I used to do no problem, today though I'm that bit slower to react & my timing isn't as good as it used to be. It just goes to show though, with practice you really can improve.
Coincidentally, if I were to play HF again now (which I'm not, for a long time!!!) I'd be unlikely to beat it first try. I got lucky in that the three characters I struggle with came up as the first three fights (E.Honda, Blanka & Guile) & this made the AI much less of an utter b@stard early on. To beat this game comfortably, regardless of fighter order, would take much, much more practice on my part...but feck it, I've done it, & I'm running with it 0 -

Congratulations, your next challenge is to beat this Balrog.
