'''TERMINOLOGY'''<br>
To many, this game needs no introduction.
Jab = weak punch<br>
Strong = medium punch<br>
Fierce = fierce punch<br>
Short = weak kick<br>
Forward = medium kick<br>
Roundhouse (RH) = fierce kick<br>


cr. = crouching<br>
Super Street Fighter II Turbo, or Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge in Japan, is the fifth revision of Street Fighter II. This version builds upon the foundations set by the previous versions (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Street Fighter II': Champion Edition, Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting ("Turbo" in Japan), and Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers) with balance changes, new moves, and new features to polish an already revolutionary title into a game that stands the test of time.  
st. = standing<br>
j. = jumping<br>


WW = World Warrior<br>
Super Turbo's defining new addition is Super Combos. By using special moves, you can fill your character's Super Combo gauge on the bottom of the screen, and when it's full, you can unleash your character's most powerful move, potentially turning the tide of the entire match. Also notable was the return of Turbo speed, introduced in Hyper Fighting and removed in Super. You could also adjust the speed yourself to multiple settings, depending on the arcade operator's configuration. For those skilled enough to complete the arcade mode on 1 credit, a new secret final boss awaits. Akuma/Gouki is notable for his extreme power, to the point where even his toned-down playable form selectable via a secret code is banned in tournament play.
CE = Champion Edition<br>
HF = Hyper Fighting = SF2T = Street Fighter 2 Turbo<br>
SSF2 = Super Street Fighter 2<br>
ST = Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo<br>


Before a character's name, "O." means "Old" and "N." means "New".<br>
Old favorites received new tools in their kit with new moves, such as Chun-Li's Tenshokyaku anti air kicks, Zangief's Banishing Flat green hand of projectile destruction, and E.Honda's massively powerful Oicho Throw. Every character also gained access to the ability to soften throws. In previous versions, you had no way whatsoever to defend against throws outside of reversals, but now if you input the throw command right after your opponent throws you, you'll take less damage and recover quicker. Finally, every character besides Akuma has access to a version of themselves similar to their iterations from Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, often called Old Characters or Super Characters. Selectable via a code, these versions didn't have access to Super Turbo's new mechanics such as Super Combos, throw softening, or any new moves added in this version, but while most of them have been disregarded as worse versions of their New counterparts, some Old characters are as good as or even better than their New counterparts in competitive play.
O.Sagat = Old Sagat = choose Sagat, then hit Up, Down, Down, Up+Jab<br>
N.Sagat = New Sagat = Super Turbo Sagat<br>
Keep in mind that Super Turbo's old characters are not the same as they were in SSF2.  For example, O.Sagat can cancel his st.Short and st.Forward after two hits, but Sagat can not do this in SSF2.


Not everyone plays on the American version, and some character names are different in the Japanese version, so to avoid confusion, I will not use the names Vega, Bison, or Balrog.
Despite many decades passing and a deluge of new fighting games to play, Super Street Fighter II Turbo has been played competitively since its release and has been featured in countless major fighting game tournaments, such as the Evolution Championship Series/EVO and SBO/Tougeki. To this day, it is a beloved old-school game and still recognized by many professional-level players as one of the best fighting games of all time.

===Old Characters===
'''Reversals'''
{|
<br>
|+
A reversal is defined as any time you go from a non-neutral state directly into a move (normal, special, super, or throw), without ever going to neutral state. A non-neutral state is any state that your opponent inflicts on you: block stun, hit stun, getting up after being knocked down, dizzy, or being knocked out of the air.
|-
 
| || [[Image:Ssf2t_ryu_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. Ryu | Old Ryu]]
Easiest example: your opponent knocks you down, and as you're getting up, you time a DP perfectly so that it comes out on the first frame possible. You never go to neutral state - you go directly from getting up animation to DP animation. You get a reversal message, and 1000 points!  (Note that you only get a reversal message for specials and supers.)

|| [[Image:Ssf2t_blanka_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. Blanka | Old Blanka]]
'''Tech Hits'''
|| [[Image:Ssf2t_guile_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. Guile | Old Guile]] ||
<br>
|-
Also called "softening a throw". When your opponent throws you, enter a throw command (back or towards plus Strong or Fierce or Forward or RH) within 14 frames, and you will take half the damage and recover in th air. Grabs such as Blanka's, Boxer's, Dhalsim's Noogie, etc can not be teched.

'''Juggles'''

<br>
|| [[Image:Ssf2t_zangief_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. Zangief | Old Zangief]]
The juggle system in ST is somewhat strange, but the general rule is that any juggle-able special move can juggle for up to 3 hits, and any juggle-able super can juggle for up to 5 hits. What moves can juggle?  Again, there is no solid rule, but the general rule is that if the move didn't exist in SSF2, it can juggle. Exceptions to the rules include (but are not limited to)...<br>
|| [[Image:Ssf2t_dhalsim_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. Dhalsim | Old Dhalsim]]
-Sagat's Tiger Uppercut (can juggle for 5 hits)<br>
|| [[Image:Ssf2t_sagat_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. Sagat | Old Sagat]]
-Boxer's low rush (wasn't in SSF2, yet it can't juggle in ST)<br>
|-
-Ken's crazy kicks (weren't in SSF2, yet they can't juggle in ST)<br>
| [[Image:Ssf2t_claw_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. Vega | Old Vega]]

|| [[Image:Ssf2t_fei_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. Fei Long | Old Fei Long]]
Moves that can juggle:

<br>
|| [[Image:Ssf2t_cammy_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. Cammy | Old Cammy]]
Akuma - Hurricane Kicks, DPs<br>
|| [[Image:Ssf2t_dictator_css.png|62x80px|link=Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo/O. M. Bison | Old M. Bison]]
Blanka - super<br>
|}
Boxer - super<br>
Cammy - super<br>
Chun-Li - upkicks, super<br>
Claw - Flip Kick<br>
Dee Jay - upkicks, super<br>
Dhalsim - super<br>
Dictator - j.Strong, super<br>
E. Honda - super<br>
Fei Long - Chicken Wing (his Tiger Knee move), super<br>
Guile - super<br>
Ken - super<br>
Ryu - j.Strong, super<br>
Sagat - Tiger Uppercut, super<br>
T. Hawk - none<br>
Zangief - none<br>
<br>
Simply being a juggle-able move does not mean that it can juggle at any time. The opponent must first be hit by a juggle-able move, then you can follow it up with a juggle.  For example, Chun can do upkicks (3 hits), then juggle with the super for 2 more hits, because the upkicks is a juggle-able move.  However, she can not follow up with a juggle super after knocking the opponent out of the air with a fireball, because the fireball is not a juggle-able move.

= Basic Strategy =
= Advanced Strategy =
'''Multi-tap/Multi-release'''
<br>
Multi-tapping refers to hitting more than one button in an attempt to get a reversal. For example, if I simply hit F, D, D/F+Fierce, I have to time my reversal with the precision of a single frame (about 1/60th of a second), and that's pretty hard. But if I do F, D, D/F+press Jab~press Strong~press Fierce~release Jab~release Strong~release Fierce, I now have a SIX-FRAME window to work with, which is remarkably easier. This can also be used in conjunction with option select...
 
'''Option Select'''
<br>
Option select refers to doing one thing that covers more than one possible outcome. For example, I am Honda, and my opponent is trying to do a meaty attack to me as I get up.  I do a half-circle to down/back and hold it, so now I have the command throw stored. I press and hold all three punches before I get up (so that nothing comes out), and with reversal timing, I multi-release the punches. There are only two possible outcomes:
<br>
1) I timed the reversal properly, and I will throw the opponent
<br>
2) I did not time the reversal properly, but I will block safely because I was holding down/back
<p>
Another good example of option select is safe jumping...
<br>
<br>
'''Safe Jumps'''
<br>
You can time a jump-in meaty enough so that it will force the opponent to block if they don't reverse, but if they do reverse, you can land quickly enough to block their reversal. This works because there are very few moves in ST that hit on the first frame.
<br>
<br>
Safe jumps are much more practical against moves that do not have hitting frames at the very beginning. For example, it's very easy to do safe jumps against Boxer's Buffalo Charge, because the quickest version (Jab) has a window of 11 non-hitting frames in the beginning, which gives you plenty of time to land. Safe jumps are extremely hard (or will not work at all) against moves that have very few (or zero) frames of start-up.  Don't try doing safe jumps against:
<br>
-Ken's DPs
<br>
-Blanka's upballs and horizontal balls
<br>
-Akuma's hurricane kicks and uppercuts
<br><br>
'''Throw For The Win'''<br>
If you have the opponent's life down to where a teched throw would not kill him, but a non-teched throw would kill him, he will die regardless of if he techs or not.  You will see him visually tech the throw, but he will still take full damage and die.
<br><br>
<br><br>
This also works with dizzies.  If the opponent has gotten hit by a couple of moves and is at the point where a throw would dizzy him, that throw is  untechable, and the dizzy is guaranteed.
<br><br><br><br>
--[[User:NKI|NKI]] 23:34, 9 April 2006 (CDT)
= Game Versions=
'''CPS2 (arcade)'''<br>
The arcade version is the only version that can truly be considered Super Turbo.  Every single home version suffers from some (usually grotesque) flaw.  It should be noted that the American CPS2 version and the Japanese CPS2 version do contain some small differences.  Known differences are:<br>
-American version has speeds Turbo 0, Turbo 1, Turbo 2, and Turbo 3<br>
-Japanese version has speeds Turbo 1, Turbo 2, Turbo 3, and Turbo 4<br>
-the speeds appear to be the same; just numbered differently<br>
-Japanese version has no Free Play option<br>
-In the Japanese version, Zangief's j.U+Fierce (the stomach crunch) has insane dizzy properties (pretty much a guaranteed dizzy), but it was toned down considerably in the American version.
The following versions are listed in order of accuracy, from most accurate to least accurate.
'''Playstation 1''' (tied with Dreamcast version)<br>
Both the PS1 version and the Dreamcast version are considerably different from the arcade version, but for different reasons.  Known differences in the PS1 version:<br>
-Ken, Dhalsim, and Sagat can do reversal supers (which they can not in the arcade version)<br>
-there is a slight delay between "Round 1, Fight!" and when you can actually move<br>
-Chun Li falls extremely slowly after her medium upkicks (Short and RH are correct, though)<br>
-Guile regains [http://www.video-opera.com/features/f0016.php CPS1 chains]<br>
-only two buttons are required for three-button moves (ex: Zangief can do a lariat by hitting only Jab+Strong or Strong+Fierce or Jab+Fierce)<br>
-inputs must be done more quickly<br>
-tapping two buttons one right after the other counts as hitting them simultaneously<br>
-when a character has zero life left, it takes two blocked specials to kill him/her<br>
-characters don't seem to get dizzy as easily (speculation, untested)<br>
'''Dreamcast''' (tied with Playstation version)<br>
The main problem with the Dreamcast version is that all the character sizes are wrong (too small), and all the hit-boxes/ranges are slightly different.  There are certain combos that just don't work anymore.  Other differences include:<br>
-Ken, Dhalsim, and Sagat can do reversal supers (which they can not in the arcade version), though this can be corrected in the DIP switch menu<br>
-there is a slight delay between "Round 1, Fight!" and when you can actually move<br>
'''Playstation 2''' (Hyper Street Fighter II Anniversary Edition, only the ST characters will be addressed)<br>
This version has not been thoroughly tested, but the known differences are:<br>
-O.Sagat's Tiger Shots have been toned down considerably<br>
-Ken, Dhalsim, and Sagat can do reversal supers (which they can not in the arcade version)<br>
-Claw's wall dives are way too hard to do (they just randomly won't come out), but using the release method seems to work more consistently<br>
-if an ST character is facing a non-ST character, the ST character can not tech the throws (in ST, New characters can tech Old characters' throws)
'''Sega Saturn'''<br>
Sega just can't seem to get the character sizes right.  While the DC version's characters are too small, the Saturn version's characters are too big, which has the same consequence of hit-boxes/ranges being different.  Guile also regained his [http://www.video-opera.com/features/f0016.php CPS1 chains].  This version is not thoroughly tested, and most likely contains more differences.


'''3D0'''<br>
==Wiki Roadmap==
The most glaring problem with the 3D0 version is that the Old characters are completely missing.  It also has lots of missing animation.  For example, all of Zangief's ducking punches are the same animation in the 3D0 version.  This version has not been thoroughly tested, but those two things alone make it unplayable.

'''PC'''<br>
'''In-Progress:'''
The programmers of the PC version probably tested it for a total of 20 minutes.  This version should be avoided at all costs.  It was patched multiple times, but none of them really made the game playable.  It contained such colossal bugs as entire moves being inexplicably missing, and the game randomly crashing when you simply do a special move.


'''Game Boy Advance'''<br>
* General wiki organization and cleanup
Not even ST, really.  It has the same characters and same basic engine, but the character sizes and animations are totally different.  Way too many differences to try to list.
* Rewrite hard to understand phrasing
* Fix broken links
* Update character pages to fit modern formatting standards

'''X-Box''' (Hyper Street Fighter II Anniversary Edition, only the ST characters will be addressed)<br>
|-
The X-Box version appears to be at least decent, but it is still under review.

Introduction

To many, this game needs no introduction.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo, or Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge in Japan, is the fifth revision of Street Fighter II. This version builds upon the foundations set by the previous versions (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Street Fighter II': Champion Edition, Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting ("Turbo" in Japan), and Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers) with balance changes, new moves, and new features to polish an already revolutionary title into a game that stands the test of time.

Super Turbo's defining new addition is Super Combos. By using special moves, you can fill your character's Super Combo gauge on the bottom of the screen, and when it's full, you can unleash your character's most powerful move, potentially turning the tide of the entire match. Also notable was the return of Turbo speed, introduced in Hyper Fighting and removed in Super. You could also adjust the speed yourself to multiple settings, depending on the arcade operator's configuration. For those skilled enough to complete the arcade mode on 1 credit, a new secret final boss awaits. Akuma/Gouki is notable for his extreme power, to the point where even his toned-down playable form selectable via a secret code is banned in tournament play.

Old favorites received new tools in their kit with new moves, such as Chun-Li's Tenshokyaku anti air kicks, Zangief's Banishing Flat green hand of projectile destruction, and E.Honda's massively powerful Oicho Throw. Every character also gained access to the ability to soften throws. In previous versions, you had no way whatsoever to defend against throws outside of reversals, but now if you input the throw command right after your opponent throws you, you'll take less damage and recover quicker. Finally, every character besides Akuma has access to a version of themselves similar to their iterations from Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, often called Old Characters or Super Characters. Selectable via a code, these versions didn't have access to Super Turbo's new mechanics such as Super Combos, throw softening, or any new moves added in this version, but while most of them have been disregarded as worse versions of their New counterparts, some Old characters are as good as or even better than their New counterparts in competitive play.

Despite many decades passing and a deluge of new fighting games to play, Super Street Fighter II Turbo has been played competitively since its release and has been featured in countless major fighting game tournaments, such as the Evolution Championship Series/EVO and SBO/Tougeki. To this day, it is a beloved old-school game and still recognized by many professional-level players as one of the best fighting games of all time.
