What's so great about turbo speed?

I played some SF Alpha 3 while I was in Vegas during vaction a week ago. The game speed was automatically set to Turbo 2 and after playing four games (Only finishing once with Karin) I remember why I hate turbo speed so damn much. I already have a hard enough time with double fireball motions when I'm plyaing at normal speed and that extra speed did nothing to help. I also had a hard time doing most specials because I got to move the stick faster. Anyway why do people feel a fighter sucks if it doesn't move at a ridiculous speed?

I don't know. I think people just feel that they can get a rythm or a groove going easier if the speed is faster. The combos just feel more right and it feels so good to play. Remember SFII Turbo on the SNES where there was a code to increase the speed to 10 stars. THAT WAS SWEET!!!!! But if you put it on 10 though it got out of control so I would just put it on 6 or 7 stars.

Turbo speed is good... in moderation. Like in Marvel vs. Capcom you can set the speed to be so fast that you can hardly tell where your character is. So I always keep it low (if you can change the setting) but just high enough to be comfortable. Find what you can deal with.
