downloaded this from xbox live and basicly is a revamped super street fighter 2 in hd, looks totally awesome, brilliant sound track and pretty much lag free online, its good they kept the essence of the game without ruining it with this 3d rubbish
i would of preferred it on my ps3 tho due to the pad being more suited, but i couldnt wait for that to come out so i got the 360 version instead
its everything a street fighter fan could of hoped for
Street fighter 4 is on its way to the xbox imminent. I'll get it!!:agree:
ive not been into games since i left school, but im trying to get back into them now.
ive got some good memories of blowing my dinner money on playing street fighter 2 blackbelt edition at the pub near my old school:D always loved street fighter:agree:
im yet to get hold of a gaming console but i really dont know what to go for:confused: there too many to choose from now. so what would someone suggest to a old skool gamer? ive not played any of these new hi spec tech shet games that require you to remember what every button on the controllers do:scared: im much more a fan of minimal contols! ie street fighter,mortal kombat,soul blade, tekken.
so..?? xbox or ps3 or something else.??
anyone remember neo-geo.? used to be the bizz way back in the day.
hehe my local barbers must be the best on the world! they have an arcade machine with street fighter 2 turbo and u can play it for free while u wait! sadly its one of the pirated versions meaning its a bit of a dodgy game, fireballs come out on waves, players morph into others during a bout, but hey still enjoyable!Quote:

i have a neo geo aes system, pretty cool back then and quite valuble now, whoever owned one of these during the snes, mega drive era must have had quite a good time, the games on the neo geo still seem to hold up well today after 15 years later :)
but seriously if u are into your 2d fighters u need to get yourself a japanese sega saturn
ancient? oh yeh but the saturn did actually have a very succesfull life in japan whether every kid in the playground over here had a playstation, hence why the saturn flourished over there, and many games that didnt get a hope of release over here was released in japan
the street fighter zero/alpha series was street fighter in its prime
the king of fighters series
xmen vs street fighter series
many more.......................................and the only console to play it on is a jap saturn, no borders and full speed, the way your supposed to play them! i have 2 of the buggers lol :):agree:
i thought on that version you could change character on demand by pressing either the start button or two of the heavy hits together during gameplay. can you also jump up the screen and throw a fireball and then jump up again and throw another fireball - you end up climbing up the screen until you are several screens above the other player. you could then grab them in a throw - guile was my favourite with the heavy kick based throw...then you would drop as many screens as you had jumped up. was cool!Quote:

the ryu/ken hurricane kick carries on forever, the hadoken comes out in twos!
kens dragon punch covers the whole screen? that version? ;)
normally he just goes vertically, but the barbers version he goes sideways quite a long way and then he goes vertically
i bet no 2 pirated versions are the same, must be all that chip shop grease getting into the arcade cabinet
yep:D as i mentioned, this was was the version i used to play on when i was at school:DQuote:

i would get a xbox 360 for sure, just keep the recipt incase if brakes, better machine, easy to use, better /cheaper games, can be had for chips now, online is much better. I am saying this as i know own both machines and thats my honest thoughts. only good thing about the ps3 is little big planet rocks!
You want the Midnight Resistance aracde machine FTW! :D
Xbox 360 gets my vote too. Only irritation is the wireless dongle is £60.
£60 squid well spent too just dig deep and do it ya wont look back unless you wanna be still tripping over that network cable....I managed to get mine from a mate who did not have a clue what is was for £20 Bargain!!!!!Quote:

Have a look on KLOV or mamdb websites for pics of the cabinet (I'm at work and it's all blocked so can't post a pic). Twiddle, twiddle. Not that I was any good at it mind.Quote:

lol thats correct gomez was m.bison lollll, and i agree the streetfighter movie was a right let down:disagree: i did prefer the mortal kombat movies although they wernt much better. thing with both movie was that they were made for kids! for them to be any good they need to be at "least" 15rated.Quote:
