Question...why in a lot of tournaments I see SSF2T instead of SSF2THR? Even in the Capcom SF 25th tournaments, I think they are using SSF2T sprite in SSF2THR. Why is that?

Saw this live, 20 years down it's still heartbreaking for us Honda players. Such a terrible matchup. I'm starting to doubt tech will ever be discovered.

Thanks again Art!

damn those finals were pretty hype, also that t-hawk logo with the mexican colors is godlike.

1.) Tournaments run ST because ST is a superior game to HDR, this is almost universally agreed upon by old and new-schoolers alike. While HDR is a fun alternative and a good game on its own, the balance changes were created with a relatively poor fund of overall ST matchup knowledge, and the game did not receive the amount of QA testing, nor the quality of consultation that it would have needed to be accepted as a consensus balance upgrade.

2.) The HDR Sprites not only look cheap, but are animated poorly compared to the original sprites.

^ what he said lol
HDR animations are so stiff, and the sprites are ugly.

The balance changes don't even make the game any more balanced than ST, just slightly different. If we go by the Japanese style soft bans on Gouki and O.Sagat ST can actually be quite diverse.
