>> I don't think Ken is THAT much faster than Ryu.


I don't think Ken is as fast as Chun Li.  No way Guile would get a 6
for speed!  Also, Blanka has more strength has Ryu(or at least they
should be equal in strength)!

>> Dhalsim faster than Sagat?  Are you kidding?  Honestly, I feel that Bison's
>> agility is 10.  The cheesepedo alone should tell you that.

Come on, Bison has a speed of 7?  He's as fast as Chun Li if not
faster.

>> Approved by EGM?  So what?  What the hell do they know about SF2?
>> I'm not flaming you, it's just that you can't trust ANYTHING that EGM says.
>> BTW, I say Sheng Long today!!!!   (just a joke)

Exactly!  I agree with you.  That's only their job to rate SF2.  They
don't really care whether it's accurate or not.  Where did they get
the information from?  I don't think they play as much as we do.




>> Also, I don't buy that who beats who chart you posted.  It wasn't comprehensive
>> enough.  You didn't state who Dhalsim, Balrog, Honda, Vega, Sagat, or Zangief

>> Here is what I believe:
>> CHARACTER	EASIEST OPPONENT	TOUGHEST OPPONENT
>> Guile		Balrog			Ken
>> Dhalsim		Zangief			Blanka
>> Zangief		Vega			Dhalsim
>> Bison		Honda			Zangief
>> Sagat		Balrog			Bison
>> Vega		Dhalsim			Guile
>> Blanka		Dhalsim			Bison
>> Chun Li 	Honda			Ryu
>> Balrog		Blanka			Guile
>> Ken		Honda			Bison
>> Ryu		Sagat			Blanka
>> Honda		Vega			Bison

That's just about what my rankings are except that Ryu and Ken's
positions should be switched.
