Wizard Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 BK is right. SSF2THDR is completely different and more friendly in motions and execution timing in addition to rebalancing the game to give some of the worst characters better tools to utilize against all the characters with fireballs. There's a reason O.Sagat is S Tier in ST (He's RIGHT at the top). If you don't know it, it's mostly because of his 37 frames low tiger shot as more or less the reason why he's so good. Alot of characters have trouble on paper against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skythe Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I saw on an interview on Youtube that they made the tier list from being long to smaller. They destroyed any or all evil glitch tricks that many people were doing in tourneys. Grapple characters were easier to use. Moves taken away. Moves improved or dampened. Pretty much they tried to stick all the characters to mid level tier. Even them all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 What's the demo going to include if you buy that game from XBL? Is SSF2HD playable forever and how many characters/stages will there be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much they tried to stick all the characters to mid level tier. Even them all out.They didn't remove moves, they kept the A and S Tiers more or less the same, they just gave everyone below Mid A more of a fighting chance. They didn't totally nerf the rest of Top A and S. They've made the fireball characters overall a little less gay and gave characters like Cammy (who is practically absolutely terrible vs Fireballers) and Honda (another character who is just bad VS fireballers) more of a fighting chance and options to combat FBers. T. Hawk has improved to go against his Shoto match ups. Seth has mentioned they didn't want to nerf the top characters too much (as told when now HDRemix Sagat is now a mix between O.Sagat and N.Sagat) and add improvements to all the lower tiered characters. They did add moves however, they limited by all the animations ALREADY in the game however. Ryu has a Fake Hado now as shown in the vids. What's the demo going to include if you buy that game from XBL? Is SSF2HD playable forever and how many characters/stages will there be?Commandos 3 I believe. It's also just a stress and balance test to test balance and network coding. It will NOT last forever. You also need Live Gold to play it online. No word on characters or stages. When the test begins, you'll get all the info on it (June 25th if I recall is the date it goes "Live" so to speak). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackKnight Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 What's the demo going to include if you buy that game from XBL? Is SSF2HD playable forever and how many characters/stages will there be?The beta stress test will contain Ryu and Ken playable only, will have online player match only (no arcade mode) and will feature only Ryu and Ken's stages. It will last 8 weeks from the date it starts. When the game is officially released, the official demo will likely include the first 3 matches of Arcade mode and 2 characters (Ryu and one other) and will be an unlimited demo. This is judging from other XBLA demos, Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
