I never got to play the '94 masterpiece at my arcade!! :o
I had played Super to death, but then my Arcade just skipped to Alpha 1! Now today with all these fun SSF4 matches under my belt I thought it was high time I went and tried....The Grand Master Challenge! The only standalone version is the 3DO version though! Everything not HD Remix is in compilations.
So out of:
Street Fighter Collection (PSX) Capcom Classics Collection vol 2 (PS2) Hyper Street Fighter II (PS2) and SSF2 HD REMIX (PSN/XBLA)
Which is the one you guys in GS recommend the most?
True story: When I was little (still in 5-6th Grade maybe) I was the BIGGEST Super SF2 fanboy on the block (almost everyone at my school liked Mortal Kombat) and I was SOOOO sad and jealous when I read the complete write up on Super Turbo in Gamepro Magazine. :cry:
They had this huge spread of the large ending portraits of all the cast. I saw wild retakes of old moves (Dhalsim shooting a yoga flame UP INTO THE AIR?? Crazy!) I remember reading about Akuma's mysterious debut and what stuck with me the most is that I saw this curious new little mechanic where you can store energy up to unleash some kind of high powered version of a normal move. I distinctly remember that day thinking...what kinda crazy gimmick those Capcom people come up with now ? :P (Course I 'got it' when I played Alpha not too long after that)
I'd just thought I would catch an elusive part of my dreadfully normal childhood that I didn't get to experience. (Yeah, I still have that issue along with the Street Fighter 2 Collectors Edition Player's Guide. I just dug them out of my room when I cleaned up and that's why I decided to post this.)
