(Cue Cammy’s theme!) Super is the game where every fighter suddenly had eight different colors to chose between, which gave you plenty of fashion options going into a fight. The new characters fit right in with the rest of the roster, and their stages are also incredibly cool. Of all the iterations of SF2, this one is the one I personally played the most (on the SNES though) and it is honestly my favorite. And as we’ll discuss later with the individual games, it is sometimes preferable to emulate the home console versions than the arcade originals.įour new challengers enter the ring: Cammy, Fei Long, Deejay, and T. Maybe they wanted everything-even control limitations-to remain authentic to ye olde arcade experience. Perhaps Digital Eclipse (the develops) left out multi-button mapping because this game is, by design, simply a compilation of arcade roms. But for gamepad players-like us, Kelleher Bros-this is a staggering oversight. Hell, even just doing Zangief’s spinning lariat suddenly becomes a pain in the ass!Īrcade stick purists probably won’t even notice the omission of multi-button options. (Though, to be clear, those are now basically impossible.) EX moves in SF3 are also a lot harder to input. It’s not just complicated techniques-like a Level-3 super combo in Alpha 1&2-that become a chore to perform. The lack of multi-button mapping makes it considerably harder to pull off certain moves on a gamepad.
