Hi Darkkobold. I RTA run the SF games and often watch your TAS videos for ideas and inspirations despite many of the things you do being completely impossible to do in real time. One thing I've always wondered and I think you might know the answer to is speed and turn order. In SF2, the turn order is determined at the end of each round and someone can change by 12% (source, http://pastebin.com/jp1uDkFP) but I've never quite figured out SF1 and how much it can change by. Some people have said 50%, which seems too high. In your 2:08 run upload, you specify that Max needed 18 speed going into 6-4, Mishaela, so that Max could get out-turned by the Bowriders but then equipping the Speed Ring gave him 22 speed which was the minimum amount to outturn Mishaela. Does that mean the speeds can change by 30% as that number works? I'm not doubting that 50% couldn't be it (just seems too high) but I was wondering if you could shed some light on it. Thanks and I look forward to your answer
