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. **************************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- special thanks to Caine Schneider & Mike McCool Without Caine, originator and organizer of most of the above, this glorious document would not exist...
