SNES version of Street Fighter 2 doesn't have chain combos ... but the Genesis version has it!



Quote
CPS1 Chain is an unintended mechanic in Street Fighter II games that run on the original CP System (The World Warrior, Champion Edition, and Hyper Fighting). CPS1 Chains were removed starting with the CPSII in The New Challengers.
CPS1 Chain is when Rapid Cancelable light kick is canceled into any of the three punches. To do so, perform a rapid cancelable light kick, then press light kick and desired punch button at the same time. Standing light kick can be canceled into crouching punch, and crouching light kick can be canceled into standing punch.
We have to admit, this is ...

It might not matter now but it's still at least mattered back then. That fact wouldn't change.
Yeah, I don't regret not boarding the SSBU bandwagon.
There was already VF5US arcade (called Virtua Fighter esports).
It's using APM3 cabinet, same with what's Virtua Fighter 3tb Online using right now.

It even had the official tournament periodically ... in Japan.

Well, other countries also had the tournaments too but they're not officially endorsed by SEGA.







o... it's just VF3 esports as an alternative to VF5 esport? Like, milking it for all it's worth?

It could be the last Smash game to feature Sonic though, who knows.

In Japan the VF3tb community is still alive and there's yearly fan tournament of it.
SEGA is just responding their enthusiasm, that's why this arcade game is exclusive to Japan only for now.

Say it with me now... "Sega does what Nintendon't."

But even SEGA never said that.
What SEGA said was "Genesis does what Nintendon't" ... so I'm gonna say  "Genesis does what Nintendon't"

For now, I regard it the last Smash Bros. game. I think that SSBU is supposed to be the penultimate and finale of the series, that Masahiro Sakurai made it to superb that he cannot further improve on its perfection... However, fans and probably Nintendo themselves are bugging him for more sequels, and he probably doesn't want to because to him "how can you improve perfection?"

The only way I can see it for him, if he can't continue the series, then expand it with spin-offs. Smash Bros. games that are sub-par to Ultimate or SSB4 but have their own gimmick or tide the fans over.

From what I understand, Persona series consist of five games and a butt-tonne of spin-offs so he could go down that route if he wanted.

Oh that makes sense. I mean, it's not milking if it had steady and on-going interest.
But even SEGA never said that.

I know, I usually refer to it with Sega in general... but I guess you're right in this cage given it's about a game for SNES and Genesis.

Plus, I called it the Mega Drive, and I only had 4 TV channels growing up so I don't remember Sega of UKs marketing campaign back then
