That's not Hyper Fighting.

no it isn't. it's better than hyper fighting

>ST
>the best fighting game ever

I used to think this when I was an ST junkie playing it every week with guys in their 30s, then I became a good neutrally and fundamentally sound player and I started to realize once I was "good" I just could not tolerate the retarded shit in ST nearly as much as I used to anymore and I started playing other games.

The dumb shit in the game is really fucking dumb. Chun, boxer, dj, sagat, vega, retarded nomals, safe yolo supers. I could go on. The better you get at it the more flowcharty and optimally you have to play your character (which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it becomes very annoying how you're essentially obeying an elaborate flowchart).

It's a good game for learning neutral, it's very neutral heavy (matchup dependent, some matchups are stupid) but the game is fucked up.

>worse sound effects
>worse music
>shitty versions of the air tatsus
>no cps1 chains
>no two hit flash kick
>shitty version of the vertical ball attack
>shittly implemented throw teching
It may have more content but it's no where near as fun as hyper fighting.

>best in the series
third strike
>best in the genre
samurai shodown v special

>90:10 matchups like Dhalsim vs Guile
>the existence of O. Sagat
>fireballs way too strong
>random stun and damage, there are combos that may or may not stun entirely based on chance
>supers are way too safe
No, ST is fun casually but competitively it's too aged to be genuinely fun with all its bullshit.

>what is Melee

HARUOOOOO
