[exitspeed]

Where are the Screen-shots??


Have you ever seen Street Fighter II :ugh:

That's like one of these, "What rims are these?" questions. And their damn Professors:loco:

[BlackSunshine42]

ROFL!! HAHAHAH Yeah boy! thats just like MS take a game that is 15 years old and put it on an already outdated console and act like you've done something that is going to change the face of the industry. LOL. Gee thanks MS and Capcom for rehashing a game that has been released 20 times over the last 15 years on just about every single console that has come out since the SNES. And guess what the Snes pushed the graphics just fine. Arcade quality and all. Yeah boy now thats a good reason to go out and get a Xbox 360. :keke:

[aznpoopy]

way to misread the article.

its not a xbox 360 push. it says gates *casually* mentioned it.

its CAPCOM (not microsoft) that is hyping it up, in case you couldn't tell from the gigantic title on the gamespot article.

if you haven't noticed, there's a trend now to release older generation games for cheap over the internet. nintendo is doing it with its huge 8 and 16 bit library for the revolution. capcom is just trying to cash in on the nostalgia as well.

[BlackSunshine42]

I did say MS and Capcom.


The quarter match thing is kinda cool tho. Its just bout 10 years too late.

Yes, smartass, I have seen Street Fighter. I was hoping that a new platform would yield new graphics. Perhaps greater detail then used in the past. :fawk2:

They are going to make money because this is a great idea. Everyone loves playing SFII but you can't play it with people across the world. Now you can.

Screw all these fancy ass SFs that came out, the OG one was awesome, as long as it doesnt cost an arm and a leg I will definately get it.

[SimpleS14]

Sorry man, but graphics for SFII is the same thru out all the platforms. New graphics would be in a new game, series or variant...such as the Alpha series or maybe another variant of SF3.

[WILDACEX187]

is sf3 out for xbox? is it compatible with 360. sf3 is one of the most technical fighters out there.

[BlackSunshine42]

Yeah. True. they will make loads more money off the same franchise. *shakes head* Shame the people allow them to repackage the same game over and over and over. And they keep buying it. Its like you have to have a streetfighter on whatever console is out. I will admit I do have a copy of SF ex2 for my PS2. But at least that was a 3d version of the game.

[WILDACEX187]

eww street fighter ex is almost on the same level as street fighter the movie...the game :down:

[kazuo]

Wow

Some of you just have no clue.

SF2 on SNES, while obviously better than no SF2 at all on SNES, was a bad conversion... the walking animation forward/backward was the same, timing was thrown off and the sprites were smaller and less detailed.

This will probably be emulated, and thus the first "true" perfect conversion that is playable outside of Japan. (Super IIx was released on DC and worked online in Japan)

I'd totally whup fools in it, but I dont own/dont ever plan to own a 360.

Besides, this isnt meant to be something new, or something revolutionary... its simply a way for people who LOVED the old SF2 and took it seriously to compete against each other and have fun playing the game they love.

[Omarius Maximus]

shea right, that crap game was rock paper scissors. You get hit to the floor, then the dude comes up next to you and you have to decide:

1. Hes gonna throw you. So you throw some type of Dragon Punch to stop him

2. Hes gonna parry. So walk to him and throw him.

3. Hes gonna hit you high. So parry high and counter attack

4. Hes gonna hit you low. So parry low and counter attack.

If you choose wrong, then your screwed and this is what happens when "pros" play the game. Simple rock paper scissors. If you wanna play a technical fighter, step up to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2

Exactly...

The Genesis port, SF Championship Edition was much better. Specially with the six button controller!:bigok:

you're kidding right? mvc 2 is just one of 2 things
1. you either get bombared with specials or fireballs
2. you get caught in ridiculously long combos

also if u pick a street figher character in those games your screwed big time.

[woodchuck]

step up to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2

werd!
why is xborx and crapcom wasting their time on Champion Hyper Tournement Edition (what ever its called)

wait. the reason why its not Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is because capcom does not have the marvel lisence any more.:down:


also if u pick a street figher character in those games your screwed big time

not true. its only if you pick a team of all capcom characters.

Actually the mechanics for all the games was basically the same. (except the change when they added the hyper edition. and allowed air combos) And is the same as every other 2d fighter out there. I was lining up at the original SF2 arcade machines. The animations sucked on ALL of them. only once the rehashes and the SF3 did they start to get better but even still its a 2d fighter.

MvsC Is actually a much better game as there is much more of an enviroment to work with. And SF2 chars do not get taken so easily if you don't suck. You can pick any combonation and have an equal chance.

you act like the game will be released in stores and cost 60 bucks, its gonna be available over xbox live and its gonna be like 5 to 10 bucks. Its just an arcade game for the arcade section, come down before you freak out.

to me street fighter has never been about graphix. i could care less about graphix. mvc2 to me is a button masher. get hit with something that sends u up and get hit 30 times wtf is that? best 2d fighter is sf3. rock paper scissors is fine. u always have more options than just getting juggled for 20 minutes. sf3 brought it back to the times where u cant block in the air which i luv. mvc2 is a good 2d fighter but in no means in the same league as sf

[SimpleS14]

is sf3 out for xbox? is it compatible with 360. sf3 is one of the most technical fighters out there.


It's on the Anniversary Edition and I would agree that MvC II is more button mashing..but I do like that game too.

[kazuo]

hahahaha wow... MvC2 is technical?

hahahahhahahha

oh wow, thats like the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life

Apparently, learning how to tap the same buttons in sucession after using the same attack to initiate a juggle over and over, and continuing to juggle = technical

MvC2 is a joke, its a fun game, but hardly can be called competetive. It requires very little skill and almost no variation in your style.

SF3, with all its faults, is far superior a game.

of course, its all moot when we get back to the topic of this thread, Super IIx, which is better than both of those games, period.

[Omarius Maximus]

Your wrong there. MvC2 is extremely technical because you need to play it for at least a year before you can even be called "decent". With the majority of Sf games, the play mechanics are very similar so it'll take maybe a couple of days to get used to the small differences in each series of game.
The Beauty of MvC2 is that you can't turtle. If you watch two people play CVS or any other type of SF traditional game in a tournament, they just sit on their respective sides and wait for the other person to do something.

[Omarius Maximus]

The one bad thing with MvC is that in order to be competitive, you can only use maybe 9 of the 50 something characters available. My team for fun is Magneto, Storm, Sentinel. For Money, its Storm, Sentinel, Commando.

[SimpleSexy180]

i agree with the sf3 > mvc2

[exitspeed]

I got 3rd place in a SFII compitition back in about 94...All I got was a damn t-Shirt. But I still got it. I wish it was a smaller size though so I could rawk it.

[Arsenal of Glory]

you want to talk about technical, try any of the Virtua Fighter games...sure mvc had tons of characters combinations to master, but all the moves were combos were pretty much linked and very linear and theres almost no patience to the flurry of "button mashing"...sorta like how Killer Instinct had a pre-set combination of buttons to link each other...Virtua Fighter you had to be extremeley skillful and be creative since no buttons were linked.

SF3 was the ultimate game in the SF series, every character was balanced and the "parry" pretty much changed the game greatly...another great series that follows the "simple" 2d fighters is Guilty Gear

FYI- Nintendos new system "Revolution" will offer downloadable emulations of NES, SNES, and N64 as someone said earlier...also there are rumors of it having no lockout region code, so we'll get awesome games like Sin & Punishment

[enen11]

anybody ever play street fighter I?? only place i ever saw it was when i was went to tijuana 12 years ago

[WILDACEX187]

there was a laundrymat around my friends house that had it. i procrastinated and never got a chance to go get my ass kicked. i heard that game is suppa hard.

[publicenemy137]

SF2 hyper edition is already out on current xbox and you can play it online as well, it's known as street fighter anniversary edition. So this is nothing new... And SF3 owns all fighting games. MvC2 was a bit over the top and not as technical as SF3 at all, doesn't require as much finesse.

[kazuo]

With the majority of Sf games, the play mechanics are very similar so it'll take maybe a couple of days to get used to the small differences in each series of game.

Not being able to air block (Classic SF2), and being able to parry (SF3) completely changes the mechanics and fighting style you use in the game.

And so on, and so on.

Takes more than just "a few days" to adjust to... I know championship-caliber SF2 players that get their asses handed to them in 3 cause they can't utilize/don't understand the parry system.

If you watch two people play CVS or any other type of SF traditional game in a tournament, they just sit on their respective sides and wait for the other person to do something.

Except that CVS sucks.. but thats a whole different discussion

Of course, "turtling," while frowned upon by many players, is a legitimate strategy, much as the "zergling rush" was a legitimate strategy in Starcraft, before they made it essentially impossible to do.

Now, I most certainly do NOT equate turtling with zerg rushing, cause there's ways around turtling, and there basically was no way to stop a zerg rush in the earlier reviisons of SC, until they "re-balanced" the game.

You'll notice that the games that require excessive amounts of skill to be decent in (Classic SF2 and Virtua Fighter, before VF4) feature what many would consider to be "turtling" in the tournament bouts.

However, not everyone is a turtle, and its quite interesting to see the opposing technique at work in a tourney.

[SochBAT]

MVC2 would be awesome to see online, but then begins the online juggling contest. Zangief, Guile, and Jin/Commando for the win.

Soul Caliber 3 online, gooooo custom characters!

[Phlip]

DOn't have an Xbox, don't want one. Don't have a 360, don't want one of those either.


... damn, that was easy.

[Omarius Maximus]

Yeah SF3 is technical, but not nearly as technical as MvC2. I will take that to the grave with me. Usually in large tourneys, a few japanese players will fly over to the U.S. and clean house in the SF games. The one game they continue to fail in beating us is MvC2. They think its about big combos so they practice ginormous combos that would kill an entire character yet fail to understand that the game isn't really about combos. Its about position. Watch a video of an MvC2 tourney at Shoryuken.com and you'll understand. Favorite game ever.

[reefer1114]

huge sf fan and i have mvc2 for ps2 and dreamcast = endless fun!!!

i am mainly a SFA3 player, which is more offensive type of game in my eyes. i know i went up against a SF3 player and he smashed on me like no other with the whole new system. im somewhat fimilar with it, but i dont use it. i carry my skills from SFA3 over to SF3 and play the same style but still get smashed on. i am pretty good, been playing since SF2 in the arcades and owned every SF game since. out of all my friends and friends friends at parties, i havent really found anybody who can beat me except my brother. hell even on emu i can smash on people who use a controller and i use a keyboard.

ill agree with kazuo, SF3 is very different. if you dont plan on using the new features in SF3, it will only take days to adjut since your playing the same style. but if you do plan to learn and use the new features it will take a lot longer..ive been playing SF games for approx 13-14 years now. i play SFA3 on my comp everyday

MvC series is one of the most horrible capcom game ever. all the marvel games suck. xmen vs SF etc etc. all you do is hit low with a knockup high, press up and start hitting buttons. then bombard with double supers etc etc...WEAK!!

i found CvS far better than MvC. since CvS used more of a SF style fighting tho still nothing compared to SF3.

[WILDACEX187]

i liked marvel super heroes. that game was dope. silvia how do u play sf3 on the computer?

Thank you, basically what I've wanted to say all along, but I couldn't put it into words without a flurry of profanity. :)

MvC is a joke.

Its a fun game, dont get me wrong, but hardly worth taking seriously competitively speaking.
