I mostly like platformer and arena fighters

Fascinating stuff. The multitude of different SF2 versions is such a wild ride of character changes, given how none of them are really officially documented. I'd probably take O.Sagat from ST too, cancelling the second hit of S.LK seems pretty good considering how long ranged it is. And the low tiger shots aren't as bad as in CE, but like they're better than 95% of the others characters still.

Absolutely - low tiger shots are very strong in every iteration of SF2, I'd say.

There are a number of rather strange omissions and oddities in HSF2. CE Dictator's original USA revision had a 6-hit Psycho Crusher, which appears to be the nerfed 3-hit version found in the later revisions here.

A secret way to select the broken WW bosses would've also been nice, just for the sake of completion (which is possible via the romhack HSF2++, though I have not messed around with it myself).

Additionally, ST characters should be able to tech all throws, not just those from other ST characters. It also makes the game feel incomplete. Generally speaking though, I really enjoy HSF2.

I wish I liked CFJ/CFE, but the game feels very jank - comparing the way that Urien feels in SF3 compared to CFJ, and he is far less natural in CFJ as he lacks a sense of weight, for lack of a better word.

The systems likely would've benefited to being chosen before selecting a character, similar to the groove system of CVS2.

The famous kusoge, as some people would say. The game was such a lazy and broken mess, there's too many issues to really name off here. That being said, I spent some decent time with it back in the day too.

Played it more than I'd like to admit, which isn't a lot. It feels like Mugen before Mugen was a thing, just a strange mishmash of stuff with not much thought behind it. Taking this into account and the game we were supposed to get in its place, yeah, it's panned for good reason, lol.
