Street Fighter (1987)/FAQ

From SuperCombo Wiki

What is SF1++?

A: SF1++ is a romhack of Street Fighter made by Yumeji. It makes the 10 normally-unplayable CPU fighters selectable via a button code.

Where can I find the download for SF1++?

Check the description of this video.

What’s a good platform or emulator to play SF1++?

If you want to play online with other people, Fightcade 2 is your best bet.

I can’t find the Street Fighter lobby in Fightcade. Where is it?

Look up “Street Fighter” then look for it. It’s not a very populated lobby, and you have to look under other Street Fighter games, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find.

If I have the SF1++ ROM, Can I play people who don’t have the SF1++ ROM?

No, the game will desync if you try to challenge someone with a different ROM. Make sure both players have the same ROM before challenging.

How do I select a character?

On the “Press Start” or “VS.” screen when playing against an opponent, hold down the button combination for your character.

What are the combinations?

Combinations
Joe Mike Retsu Geki Birdie Eagle Lee Gen Adon Sagat
Mp.png Mp.png Hk.png Lp.png Lp.png Hk.png Lk.png Lk.png Hk.png Mk.png Mk.png Hp.png Hp.png Hp.png Hk.png

I can’t do jump attacks with the CPUs.

The CPUs are unique from the Shotos as their jumpkick is tied to a command rather than pressing a button in the air. For all CPUs with a jumpkick, you must hold Db.png, D.png, or Df.png and then press any punch button.

What are the tiers for this game?

Though there’s no concrete tierlist, the general consensus usually looks something like this (tiers are not ordered):

Top/Banned Tier: Sagat, Shotos

High Tier: Birdie, Eagle, Gen

Upper Mid Tier: Mike, Lee, Retsu

Lower Mid Tier: Adon, Joe

Low Tier: Geki

Note that tiers don’t nesscessary reflect a character’s matchup spread. For example, Adon beats Geki harder than Eagle, despite Adon generally being cited as the weaker character overall.

Why are Sagat and Shotos banned?

These two characters pretty much win every matchup and makes the entire cast unviable, so they are often softbanned in SF1++ tournaments. More detailed descriptions can be found in their respective character pages.

Note that in "vanilla" SF1 tournaments, Shotos are obviously still legal due to being the only character.
