Street Fighter: Anniversary Edition!

[rockleefan]

anybody excited about this release? i just picked up my preorder today and i can't wait to pop it into my ps2 :D

oh yea, since i pre-ordered the game, i also got 2 freebies (a bust of ryu and chun-li). :cool:

Edit: btw, did you guys hear anything about the xbox version being delayed 1 year!!! that is incredible! :eek:

[Carn]

Well i own the game now , everything about it seem arcade perfect. the only thing i don't like is the Crazy Ai for the new SF 2 , and the SF2 movie showing the censor version , without any options.

[burnout]

i was playing it at my friend's house yesterday. gotta love the old school combos.

[-Saint]

SF2 has had crazy AI since SSF2.

[MinortyBreeder]

This game is sweet. I'll beat anyone with Cammy and Chin Li. My two *****es.

[HiroX]

I've been waiting for 3rd Strike since god knows when. It's about time Capcom got their act together and gave us something good. On 3rd Strike my Twelve owns. People only think he's bottom tier cuz they suck. As for HSF2, SF2T Guile = god. It's not even fair with his easy re-dizzy combos.

[MinortyBreeder]

HiroX. Did I ever tell you I love your sig, but it would be cooler if you sed the real guys face because that one just freaks me out

[HiroX]

Hmph! That guy in the pic is me! But I suppose I'll let it slide since no one here really knows me... ^_^

[MinortyBreeder]

Guile is evil. More evil then Vega. (Note: Vega=M.Bison, Barlog=Vega, M.Bison=Barlog) In other words folks, Japanese=America. We decided to switch characters names around when Street Fighter came over here. How do I know? I played the Japanses version of SVC Chaos and was kind of confused at first.

[HiroX]

Man, I knew about that conversion since SF2T was around. It's pretty silly how Capcom of America decided to do all of that nonsense. Especially with Gouki (Akuma for you mortals). Anyways, Guile isn't evil at all. Canon-wise, he's out to avenge his friends death (Nash aka Charlie) and bring down Shadaloo. After SF2, he quits the fighting world because his Vega was defeated. He's a good guy when you boil it down.

[MinortyBreeder]

Bleh. I'm not good with him.

[HiroX]

Guile owns. Just learn this combo...

jump in HP, standing HP, cancelled LP sonic boom, standing HP

If you are using SF2T Guile or below, it's a sure dizzy/redizzy combo. Plus it's easy to boot. Unless you have a hard time charging, which I've known some people to have a hard time with.

[Sanctuary Remix]

In all honesty I think this game's release is a great idea, much like the Mega Man Anniversary release. I won't buy either one of them because I've got great memories of the early Mega Man and SF games since I am an old school gamer. Plus.....I know how to get my hands on emulated versions! Hee hee hee.....but seriously.....I think this is best for those newbie gamers out their to find out where these characters came from and to learn their roots. Plus I'm tired of hearing these little newbie gamer bastards saying that Mega Man and Ryu are their generations characters! I love smacking their heads when they say that! It's a great way of seeing the shock on their faces when they see that Mega Man and Ryu aren't as flashy or deeply cgi animated like they are today, and instead get to see the old school versions that we all grew to love.

[MinortyBreeder]

They needed to put more games on here though. Like the Alapha and Zero series. I've only played SA3 and I loved it.

[Sanctuary Remix]

I'm more of an SNK fighter myself, but yeah they should of put the Alpha series at least in the package. Alpha was the greatest SF series in my opinion. Then SF3 came in took over as the best SF series....in my opinion at least.

[HiroX]

SF3 is what all fighting games 2D or 3D should be.

[Sanctuary Remix]

Yeah.....it was a great way to keep the SF games going. SF EX is nice and all, but you gotta keep with the 2D in my opinion. Course give me KOF to SF anyday....I loved that SNK and Capcom came together they way they did to bust out those SVC games. I'll whipsmack Guile and Ryu with Kyo Kusanagi like their mom's use to do.

[HiroX]

SVC made me sick. They're running on the same game engine since god knows when, plus the sprits suck, plus the game is ruined by WAY overbalanced characters. It was quickly removed from my arcade, and all we have are fighting games there.

[Sanctuary Remix]

Hey....it worked in the past and it still works today. You're too Capcom intergrated to handle the SNK engines. Course I play the hell out of fighting games no matter what and I look for the quality of the game rather than the relentless "oh my god" graphics of games. Graphics don't make a great fighting game. It's the gameplay that does it. Now when you combine the two......you get something truely wonderful to behold. I think Soul Caliber 2 is an example of that. In anycase.....Kyo will still whipsmack those cheeks son.

[HiroX]

You're right. Graphics don't make the game, the play does. SF2 old school engine > KoF engine. SF3 engine >>>>>> KoF engine. It never was about the graphics for me. KoF had some cool story lines, but when it came down to which game handled better, SF took it. And I'm not just some Capcom fanboy either, I own a bunch of the KoF series along with Garou (only decent SNK fighter compared to KoF), the Guilty Gear series, and even a few of the crappy 3Ds fighters out there. I've been and have had my hand in enough of these games to know what I like.

[Miltani]

I prefer Garou fighting engine to kof -.- Give me just defend anyday and i'll counter it.

[Sanctuary Remix]

Hmmm....an old school gamer as well......well I do bow to you in some aspects of what you just said, but I guess it all boils down to what you as a player can handle in terms of the engine. If you can keep up and enjoy the engine of the game you're playing then you'll obviously love it......or think it's too easy and start bad mouthing it. Either way I guess it's all to what you love in a game. I found so much more in the KoF games than I did in the SF games that I became hooked. Everyone has their own taste and opinions I guess. I mean I've met people that though SF and KoF sucked and that the only fighter that should be played was Super Smash Bros Melee. Not to say that that game doesn't kick ass, just pointing out that I guess no one is truely right.

[MinortyBreeder]

SVC was... okay.

hi,

the anniversary edition of streetfighter aka hyper streetfighter has a really unbalanced damage calculation. Throws have become too powerful, and no matter the difficulty the computer always does the same level of damage. this creates a situation wherein new players will lean towards throw traps and not combos. furthermore if you choose sf2 versions you can whip everybody's ass as they dish out the most damage. Sf3 third strike, it's beautiful but I just don't like Gill, I mean Vega was believable as an end boss eventhough he has psycoh power and can levitate. But what the hell is Gill?!? a twocolored freak yelling "I am your God"??? I still prefer Sf turbo over SF3. And why didn't they include the first SF3 and double impact? I mean it's a Dvd, 4 times bigger than a megacd format of the dreamcast.

the zero series were okay. I have them on the psx, so they're not quite arcade perfect but guile in zero 3 was the greatest. wish i had the dc version so i can play boss vega.

the crossover-series were mediocre to ok, I just can't recognize the old characters in the xmen or marvel universe. played it but didn't really got me hooked. Capcom vs Snk 2 is a game I highly enjoyed, hibiki is the greatest and I don't care if sagat is considered top tier. hibiki is the only one who has a dodge in all the grooves.

svc chaos in comparison to kof 94 till 2000 is a load of crap. i have the mameroms. the idea of violent ken just does not appeal to me. kof series is nice, and they evolved nicely over the years till snk was bankrupt and neolith took over. Kof: deep impact is the first full 3d kof and it is different, not bad but different.

I really like Guilty Gear series, characters are cool and dizzy is cute. well I play baiken the most, but Johnny is great if you can use the mist cancel. Isuka is different, need to adjust to the manual turning.

[SRank]

I really liked the Street Fighter Anniversery Collection but it was lacking in overall content. I would have gladly payed $60 to $70 for a 2 or 3 disc collection that included:
Street Fighter 1
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Street Fighter EX 3
Street Fighter III: Third Strike
Creator Interviews
Character / Story Gudies
Art Galleries
A Good Version of the Anime Movie
and a Formal Apology for Licensing the Live Action Film

[unknownsoldier]

My only beef with SVC was that they added weapons characters (how can a guy with a sword STAB ME WITH IT and I don't die? It's retarded... yes I know fireballs are a stretch, but its not STABBING YOU WITH A SWORD stretch), lame hidden characters (Like Zero), and the fact that there's only four buttons (Cus its on MVS).

Aside from that, its a good game, and way way better than any of the CVS games, of which only the original was any good.

[SRank]

The Capcom vs. SNK games were great. The Marvel titles on the other hand have gotten worse through every incarnation after Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was garbage. Way too many throw away characters, 3 or 4 who were unreasonably overpowered, a clunkey tag system. I really liked the concept but the gameplay is so bad. 3 character teams are too large and burden the button layout. I'm hoping that Capcom Fighting Jam is better, but the character choices are looking a bit bleak. Guy? Seriously?

This notion right here means you never played OG SF2 at the high lvls or you don't know alot about OG SF2 then. HSF2 is a solid game, however gamers of today just don't cater to it as much because it plays vastly different then how we play today.

Throws where strong, but they where not the be all, end all tatic. Infact in OG SF2, if you weren't spacing/zoning/chipping/controlling the clock, you weren't a good SF2 player at all. This is what made SF2 so good, and what makes it so good even when compared to modern day fighting games.

The SF2 versions where strong to name a few, T. Ryu, CE. Guile, CE. Bison, CE/T. Ken, T.Blanka, T.Zangief, however characters like ST. Balrog, ST. Dhalsim, ST. Vega, ST. Bison, ST. Ryu, ST. Chunli, and even ST. E. Honda are also strong characters.

This game is a heck of alot of fun and can be played at the highest lvls Evo2k6 within the Top 8, we saw a vast array of characters doing and placing well in HSF2, people said it was going to be a CE. Bison fest, yet it was not.

HSF2 is a completely different game in itself and I enjoy the fact that I can finally pit my most favorite Ryu (T.Ryu or HF.Ryu like many of us call him) against the best from other versions.

Oh yeah, before I go, Capcom vs. Snk 2 is solid, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is excellent, Street Fighter III 3rdStrike is solid, Street Figher II : Hyper Fighting ='s Best Street Fighter game of all time.
