...Street Fighter 2 thread...

Old school love.

Getting back into this game I now realize it's probably better than I thought it was back when it was new in the arcades. That's saying alot cause I loved the game(s) back then.

First question / strat idea.....Trying to set fireball traps with Dhalsim. I'm still working on that, the quick speed of his fireballs vs. his general slow melee attacks makes them ackward as hell.

Cammy....I still suck with her, but had my ass served to me countless times by people using her. Anyone good with her ?

With Dhalsim it's all about knowing exactly the range of what each button does. I'm a pretty good Dhalsim player actually, but it depends on which version you are playing.

If you are talking about World Warrior (you mentioned Cammy though) then Dhalsim is an absolute beast. Only Guile has a distinct advantage on Dhalsim in WW.

Fireball traps with 'Sim should always be full screen. His standing forward and roundhouse, as well as all of his jumping attacks except for strong, have tons of priority on jumping opponents. The only problems you should have in the air are with Chun and Blanka, and their big priority attacks in the air are their short and jab buttons, so that's not much of a problem. Even if you trade hits with them you are still winning out. The only problem is that Dhalsim stuns much more easily than Blanka, so be careful about that.

You can also mix up cRoundhouse and sFierce to catch jumping opponents that are in mid-screen distance. Even if their jump-in is close in on you, standing jab, short, strong (very close), and forward are still killer anti-airs.

If they manage to get in close, 'Sim has TONS of throw priority over all characters, even 'Gief and Chun. His throw range is greater than both of thiers in tight. Also, his close sFierce is a beast. If you have hit them previously, it will usually dizzy.

Any more situations I didn't cover just ask

Q-

P.S. - I'm not really great with Cammy outside of CvS2 (for obvious reasons)

depends on what version of sf2 you're talking about but i love to use blanka in street fighter 2 the world warrior. Alot of his normal moves combo and can dizzy your opponent so easily.

Im also confused which version of SF2 you are talking about but Im assuming SSF2 or SSF2T in which his fireball traps aren't as effective as in SF2WW.


Can't tell you much about Cammy as I dont use her except for in XMvSF.

IMO I think Blanka is crap in WW, he gets so easily owned by alot of characters.

Cammy in SF2...I don't get it. Is this an SF2 or just an any old SF thread?

yeah i play SSF2 on my SNES, great fun for a while
