John Choi was one of the best in SF2 USA rankings during the Tips n Tricks magazine days. So glad to see him still playing and I recognized him from the thumbnail!! 🙂
I remember when John Choi eliminated Daigo in Evo pools in some iteration of sf4 (ultra, maybe? Daigo was playing e.ryu). Everyone was calling it a huge upset and I was like, No? Choi has been an expert in the shoto mirror for decades.
Seeing John Choi still out there rocking the ST wins is kind of nostalgic. Used to see his name in old articles of gaming magazines before the internet was a big thing. Makes you realize how much time has past but more important how good Super Turbo still holds up even as a point of view from a spectator. Matches is quick and it's easy to understand the nuance decision making at certain points. Props to Silentscope for getting that far with Cammy.
@@richcore I'd say 3rd strike got the best 2d sprites, with alpha 3 behind. Not old enough to have memories with sf2 but I gotta say it looks very charming. 😊
@@richcore Third Strike Ryu and Ken also look badass. I give it to CvS sprites though because I like the proportions better. Ryu and Ken had big feet in 3S
It's still insane how this game is turning 30 years old next year and it's STILL going strong in tournaments! Props to the fgc for keeping this game alive in the competitive scene for so long!
I looked at Choi sitting on the ground with only one leg straightened, and my old self said “he’s just like me, my knee doesn’t bend anymore either 😢😅”
Bigg respect to the fgc i love the love in the room and no trash talk or sore losers. Everyone looked like they had a great time and everytime they applaused after a match was so wholesome😊😊
this is great to watch love the colour and flow of the game still stands strong decades later the absolute definition of a timeless classic just a shame more characters dont get showcased other than ryu ken and cammy
I'm 42, 43 in 1.5 months... I know it's rough. And that's young to a lot of people lol. Gotta have perspective and feel blessed (I don't mean this in any religious sense lol) that we're still here, no cancer, no random life cut short... two of the closest people to me (fiance/commonlaw wife and best friend forever) had people close to them die in horrible ways way too young, can't imagine what that feels like. Here's to you and me being able to still watch evo in another 30, 40 years. Keep your brain young! 🥲🙃😉🤘🤙☘☘☘🍀
super turbo will never die. I feel the OG games like ST, 3S, A3 and CVS2 should always have a spot at evo. Why fill so much of the streaming time with pool matches of SF6 mostly consisting of nobodies when you could put on top 6/8's of classic games
lot of people don't just play ranked, also if you are well known, playing ranked, is like actively avoiding games, people won't accept your games, in 3s there are ton of strong american players, yet on discord there is a constant complaint from them that people dodge them, so what some super strong people in 3s do is, they have lots of alt accounts, hell i remember reading on discord not fully sure but it was probably exodus, that he has special accounts for some players who he knows would dodge him on his main account, haha, but choiboy doesn't use this alt thing so he's left with B or else people won't play with him.
online frame drops give mid-tier characters like Ryu a disadvantage. I've taken a few ranked sets from Choi online but have no doubt he'd own me offline
@@hamiltondouglas2746 in fightcade you have to be mindful of region too, playing with people over the continent in 300ms sucks, and when you climb the ranks, your pool of players becomes smaller and smaller, i am from pakistan and after getting B rank it almost became impossible to get ranked games, only super hardcore people would accept my ranked challenges and after sf6 those guys disappeared too, at that point i practically have to beg big guys to pound me because no way people who are obviously worse than you but in same rank would accept games, these games don't have endless supply of players, getting games already is a blessing, being hardcore and only playing rank makes you wait all day in lobby with no games.
I would rage out if I was getting bombarded by fireballs like that 😂. I wish I was that good on the sticks I’m untouchable on a controller though good old snes days I miss them.
Arcade. There wasn't an SNES version of Super Turbo, just World Warriors, 2 Turbo (just Turbo, not Super Turbo), and Super. The first system to get a true home version of ST was the Panasonic 3DO, of all things.
Thanks for posting the Evo23 content VA 🤜🤛🤝 I'm also looking for T7, SF6 top 24, 16, or 8 if anyone can put me on. I searched and the results were short setplay matches, TY 👀
No shame not beating Ikaruga.... but the wall should be the stage 4 boss. That thing is like a straight brain-wiring check. You either have the brain wiring to comprehend it or not lol. Makes me want to go watch a full playthrough by someone who does. Big Tohou fan here (the OG games, PCB, IN, MoF, SA, etc.... but the fan games have gotten legit good in their own right the last few years too lol). But Ikaruka is magic.

Super Turbo is my favourite SF game. The gorgeous colours, the sprites, the music, the speed, the moves.....its thrilling!

These SF2 sprites still look good 30 years later. Best looking Ryu and Ken sprites were in Capcom vs SNK though
What about 3s?
@@richcore I'd say 3rd strike got the best 2d sprites, with alpha 3 behind. Not old enough to have memories with sf2 but I gotta say it looks very charming. 😊

Bigg respect to the fgc i love the love in the room and no trash talk or sore losers. Everyone looked like they had a great time and everytime they applaused after a match was so wholesome😊😊
Most of the FGC isnt like that but super turbo players are all in their 40s so theyre more mature 😅
Everything about this game is perfect. The colors, the sprites, etc.
Except it's broken
I never even played Super Turbo back in the day but it's always one of the best games to watch
After all these years this game is still beautiful
Kilmax had a fantastic set vs Silent scope. That reverse sweep dream was so close!!

22:46 - what a way to end the set!
What version of Super Turbo is this? Also, is this version on Fightcade 2?
Glad to see John Choi still around.
what plataform they play it nowadays ?
each time cujo kate says ‘there’ take a shot 🥃
I think you can also do sweep to fireball in either on or both ex plus alpha sfs
How is Choi like B rank on Fightcade? Are there just that many macro users?

The best version of street fighter ever
Searching for community to play any version of SF2 here in Berlin.
I would rage out if I was getting bombarded by fireballs like that 😂. I wish I was that good on the sticks I’m untouchable on a controller though good old snes days I miss them.
I really hope this game is always on tap, I'd love to try and play and or just see the pros play in this Yearly
Do you get anything for placing 4th?
Justin Wong "4th place gets you nothing sorry"
Is that marcus d in top 6?
Yes
Respect to SilentScope playing so well with Cammy
Hopefully they will promote it to the EVO main event next year...
Is this the arcade version or SNES version? I’m a noob btw
Arcade. There wasn't an SNES version of Super Turbo, just World Warriors, 2 Turbo (just Turbo, not Super Turbo), and Super. The first system to get a true home version of ST was the Panasonic 3DO, of all things.
Anybody knows in what system they play?
A consolized CPS2 board most likely.

Arcana Serpent: I am going with ChoiBoy(Ryu Black outfit)... Very very well done dude!! !!Haddoken!!!
In regards to sweep to fire ball, you can do it even in CVS2, though that’s not a numbered SF entry strictly speaking…
Ryu 》 ken. But that ken player has more skills pressure
No guile at top 6?
Choi still has it after all these years (decades actually). He wasn't even using his favorite, O.Sagat.
where's DSP?

Not sure what is Choi's secret he's just throwing fireballs then he wins. maybe his timing is just immaculate.

He knows how to zone dude
Others don’t.
He's an O.Sagat main, zoning is his greatest strength and he's been doing it since the 90s.
His spacing is also elite so he can punish when opponents jump over fireballs. Basically this legend has 30+ years of experience playing SF2
Spacing, timing, setups, punishment. Near-flawless fundamentals, and some filthy little tricks.
