Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Tournament!

FutureGuy

Would anyone have interest in starting a fun league for SF2HD...the main focus would be on fun, remembering that we cannot parry in SF4 (!) and to use all the characters available.

So here is what I propose...we get 6-8 players (all skill levels welcome). Each match is 17 games long, each game is best two out of three rounds. You must use a different character for each game. 17 games and 17 characters

There will be alot of strategy regarding character selection...do you play your worst characters early to get them out of the way or do you get some serious scores on the board early using your best characters?

The winner will be the person with the overall best W/L record.

Even if you lose 17-0 against some of the players on here (there are some scarily good boardies), you get to practice characters you haven't played in ages, and you also get to learn tricks from the very best. It's like a free tutorial!

At the end of it, everyone should be a better player.

We can post the results and have a good chat about things...anyone up for it?

Some great games last night Sagat...you have a great handle on Akuma and your Blanka is bloody tricky to defend against!

Sagat06

Cheers man... I'm still a few hours of practice behind though - that Cammy is awful hard to beat!!

I'd be on for this. I would regard myself as a Street Fighter amateur but as you say it would be cool for learning a thing or two.

Thats the spirit Mika, the best way to learn fast is go up against the best.

I sent a message to a player in the world top 10 and played him/her...got pounded 6-0 (although I did win a round)! Afterwards, I was practicing combos I had never thought about. Now they are an effective part of my game.

Yup well up for this.

It always surprises me the lack of interest in SF II on boards in general

pretty disappointing:mad:

In Ireland, it's pretty common that not many people are interesting in gaming, particularly the Fighting genre. Pisses me off actually.

Could not agree more, when I was a young un there were always crowds gathered around the SFII, Mortal Komat and Killer Instinct machines in the arcades.

I've forgotten more about beat em' ups than I have ever bothered learning about all these new fangled epic rpg's

I think we are a dying breed:(

You should get back in beat em' ups, there is loads of good ones around.

I don't get why people aren't interested in them, I mean, there is ALWAYS re-playability in FG's so you can always come back to play it and learn something new and have fun playing with other people.

It's the same as FPS but it seems more people like FPS's here in Ireland, oh and there is the online factor too so people play online and don't bother playing offline which is understandable but online is just never going to be as good as offline in FG's. It would be good to build a scene of some sort but... I have tried before but people don't seem interested. DaBounca organised the SCIV gatherings and there was a small turnout but then people lost interest and didn't come back so I don't know what's going on with the scene in Ireland. Maybe there is just never going to be one?

Hi, I'm new here but wouldn't mind getting in on this. I'm a bit rubbish at SFII and seem to get slaughtered whenever I go online but I'll have a go for the craic if yous are looking for players.
