- I disagree. While I do think that if you have the mindset that you can
- become a master SNES player and then kick butt on CE you are WRONG! However,
- in many ways, if you play CE and then go back and practice on SNES. Not
- being able to do moves, but when to do moves, it will definately help. This
- was definitely thew case fo me playing Guile. Granted I had learned Ken/Ryu
- and Sagat fairly well on CE without SNES, but I could not play Guile until I
- practiced him a lot on SNES. Not to say it made me a master, just that it
- helped in making me at least a competent Guile. The best way to learn, it to
- realize the differences between CE and SNES, and play SNES like it was CE.
- Example...sure Dhalsim can yoga fire, forward kick to death in SNES, but
- work on punch the kick mixed up with the drill and yoga fire/flame, ie the way
- you should play Dhalsim on CE. Work oh that on SNES, then go to the arcade and practice it up. Just MHO of course....
