02. How can I separate SF2 rumors from truths on the Net?
sinister.stairs@um.cc.umich.edu writes:
The newsgroups tend to get a lot of traffic, and are suspect to lots of
garbage postings. Keep your eye out for these key phrases, and any other
suspicious sounding statements. Read follow-up postings to confirm your
beliefs and clear things up.
"A friend of mine", "A friend of a friend", "My brother's friend", etc.
"credible", "reliable", etc. to describe the above. "I didn't see it
myself, but", "I wasn't there but", "I wasn't really paying attention,
but", "Out of the corner of my eye", etc. "secret move", "secret screen",
"secret character", etc. "secret"
Generally, the less people reporting something *and* the less details
given, the greater the chance it's bullsh*t. Likewise, the more people
agreeing on something *and* giving specifics, the more credible. But you
should always question whatever you read, *especially* when reading
newsgroups.
and caine@uiuc.edu adds:
Watch out for flames. The good portion of debatable material about the
game has been depleted. Be aware that you may be flamed for a seemingly
harmless comment. Take it in stride, and ignore it.
============================================================================
03. I want to post about SF2 on the Net, is there any etiquette that I
should observe?
sinister.stairs@um.cc.umich.edu says:
Please post to alt.games.sf2 (the SF2 newsgroup) if your site carries it in
order to keep bandwidth down.
If you post to rec.games.video.arcade, please put "SF2" or "Street Fighter
2" or something thereof in your subject header. As hard as it may be to
believe, there really *are* people who do not want to have anything to do
with Street Fighter 2. Please respect that, so they can kill SF2 posts.
(And likewise, SF2 fans could mark *only* SF2 posts.)
If you've heard a neat, unconfirmed trick, don't pass it off as truth.
Let everyone know that this *is* a rumor. Otherwise, you'll find people
quick to flame, and you probably deserve each and every flame that comes
your way. ;-)
caine@uiuc.edu adds:
READ THIS! Since there are now 6 versions of the game, it makes sense to
include an inkling of which game you speak of. So include HF, CE, Classic,
SNES, SNES Turbo, or Genesis in your subject header. Without this (unless
what you are talking about is obvious) you may get misleading information.
In other words, it is correct, but for the wrong game.
And likewise, don't post stuff about other games. We have had long running
threads that are cross-posts. So, if you cross-post, or if you are follow-
ing-up to a post, check if it is cross-posted. If your material doesn't
relate, delete the appropriate newsgroups.
If you are interested in the home video games systems or arcade games in
general, you may not be aware that there are newsgroups for them. They are
in the "rec.games.video.*" heirarchy.
============================================================================
04. I see all these abbreviations used, what do they mean?
Here are the most common abbreviations used when talking about a certain
character's moves and whatnot. When the abbreviations are used, the
character in question is usual mentioned.
DP=Dragon Punch HK=Hurricane Kick
FB=Fireball TU=Tiger Uppercut
TK=Tiger Knee WK=Whirlwind Kick
LL=Lightning Leg HHS=Hundred Hand Slap
TAP=Turn Around Punch RC=Rolling Claw
SB=Sonic Boom RK/FK=Razor Kick/Flash Kick
SPD=Spinning Pile Driver SL=Spinning Lariat
SSL=Super Spinning Lariat SF2=Street Fighter 2
CE=Champion Edition HF=Hyper Fighting
TOD=Touch of Death SNES=Super Nintendo
SG=Sega Genesis SF2T=SNES Turbo version
SSF2=Super SF2 DRS=Double Rolling Sobot
RP=Rushing Punch FL=Flaming Leg
TB=Tomahawk Buster MT=Mexican Typhoon
BH=Buffalo Headbutt MGU=Machine Gun Upper
Here are some common abbreviations used when making comments about some-
thing. They are used for short phrases, etc.
BTW by the way
FYI for your information
IMO in my opinion
agsf2 alt.games.sf2
rgva rec.games.video.arcade
IMHO in my honest/humble opinion
FTP file transfer protocol
ROTFL rolling on the floor, laughing
I'm sure that there are others, and I don't know all of them, but if you
see one you don't know, try to match it with the context of the rest of
text, and guess at it's meaning.
============================================================================
05. What about move lists/FAQs for other video games?
See the question #1 in Part 3. Keep in mind, though, that none of the
material shown in that section of the file index is by me. All the files
about other games are written and compiled by other people.

I'm sure that there are others, and I don't know all of them, but if you
see one you don't know, try to match it with the context of the rest of
text, and guess at it's meaning.

05. What about move lists/FAQs for other video games?
See the question #1 in Part 3. Keep in mind, though, that none of the
material shown in that section of the file index is by me. All the files
about other games are written and compiled by other people.
