please play this game
hyper fighting was the version of sf2 that really hit the mark of having fundamentally solid gameplay with a well balanced roster which is by all means very impressive for it’s time of release, but I’ll always love super turbo the most for how bombastic and broken it is lmao
I don’t see a point in giving this a rating since champion edition overrides this games role as the slow cps1 version of sf2 but I want to note that there’s a very pretty palm tree in the center of Sagats stage which got removed in all subsequent sf2 games for some reason and I miss her :(
Core gameplay here definitely isn’t on the same level of polish and depth of 3s but this is the version of sf3 I play whenever I just wanna relax. The presentation in 2i is very colorful and laid back in comparison to its successor. While I prefer 3s’ atmosphere overall because of how well everything meshes together, certain aspects of 2i like the soundtrack and stage design are a lot stronger here compared to 3s. It’s a lot of fun being able to kick major ass with ibuki and sean as well, I love those two characters and sean in particular got totally neutered in 3s
