anyone getting SF:AC?

[CaseyRyback]

I guess it comes out tomorrow. Hopefully by next week I will have an Xbox. Probably will pick this game up, even though I already own it.

Only thing that sucks is that the Nuby controllers do not come out until April. I hate the Xbox D-pad, so I might not play all that much until I get a Guile controller in my hands




Thanks to Battosai1002 for the list:


'm going to compile a list of Street Fighter Xbox Live tags. I won't be on for a few weeks, but thought this list might be nice when I do start playing. Post which game you'll be playing and whether the current tags on here are correct or not (I assumed a few). I put the unknowns in the both category for now. I'll edit this as people post.

[JimmieMac]

Ledhed and Arikado are getting it.

[vanlandw]

what price is it coming out at?

[CaseyRyback]

what price is it coming out at?

29.99

comes with Third Strike, and a SFII game where you can select a character from just about any version of SFII

and thanks for telling me they are getting it Jimmie.

[Ultimate Matt X]

I'll be getting it. Nick Zero, eddiebelfour or whatever the hell he is called about on here, knows all about the Street Fighter test. :)

Everyone look for me this weekend I'll be playing like a mental patient.

[H-Town Info]

yea i'm going to be playing it most likely tomorrow unless college and hwk pwned me lol. i heard arikado and ledhed will be playing sf:ac as well while we were playin halo 2 so i have a lil competition from them. i'm mostly be playin the hyper street fighter II online as i tried to learn 3rd strike offline since i never played the sf3 series. i hope the online lag isnt as bad as capcom vs snk 2. hopefully i can handle the s controller's d-pad since i can handle marvel vs capcom 2 very well with it. i hope u guys can post ur gamertags so we could play each other online.

gt: aznplaya4lif3

[SEGA128DC]

I'm getting the game later on this week. Right now, I only have a Controller S, but, I'm going to get a custom built arcade stick, hopefully this year...

[mtxbass1]

I'll be buying this one as soon as I find it in a store.

[Weedy649]

hmmm i own it for ps2 and dont have xbox live yet so ill wait until i get live. I have the adapter that will let me use ps2 controllers on my xbox so ill feel right at home with my street fighter controller!

[CaseyRyback]

hmmm i own it for ps2 and dont have xbox live yet so ill wait until i get live. I have the adapter that will let me use ps2 controllers on my xbox so ill feel right at home with my street fighter controller!

the controllers for Xbox have a headset adaptor built in, which may factor into your decision if you do get live

[t65will]

Oh, I'm definitely getting this. If that Tekken stick proves to be good enough, might have to get an adapter for it.

[Monsta Mack]

I already got Guilty Gear Reload, MK:D, DOA Ultimate, Capcom versus Snk 2 and even SVC Chaos? Is there any fucking doubt In me picking up SF:AC? Fo real! I had this shizit pre-order for SEVEN MONTHS with free three day shipping from EBgames. I hope to see y'all on live down the road, just don't expect me to be yapping cause I got the nuby controller with convertor, and I rather use that controller over the XBox, even if it means no voice.

Gamertag: Jagr69

[Socheata]

I'll be getting the game as well. Hopefully I'll be able to get in some matches with fellow CAG members. My Chun-Li packs quite a kick. ;)

[Mafia]

I'll be getting it eventually, not sure if sooner rather than later. Even at $30 with Live capabilities, it's still a rehash of 2 games I already own to some extent, so Tekken 5 gets priority here.

Maybe if it goes on sale somewhere next week.

[Scorch]

I'm definately going to try to pick it up today, along with (hopefully) GGX Reload and SVC Chaos. 14.99 for GGXR and $19.99 used for SVC Chaos, shouldn't be too bad.. three great games for $65? Trade-in promotion, here I come!

[xenoman80]

I'll be getting the game as well. Hopefully I'll be able to get in some matches with fellow CAG members. My Chun-Li packs quite a kick. ;)
my ryu and remy will eat your children ( so what if it sounds gay im nice in sf)

[sying]

My street fighter arcade controller was MADE for this game. God bless EB

[xenoman80]

got an adapter the dragon cube works with the xbx and gc. i wont be talkin to you guys while im beating you but who wants to hear me say r-u-ken ( thats what i thought ryu and ken said when they did the dragon punch when i was younger)

[PhrostByte]

It has XBox live support? Hmm.... I feel pwn3d (I have the PS2 version)

[xenoman80]

Can I add you to my friends list? ^_^

I haven't played Third Strike in awhile, but we'll see how I do once the Xbox version is out.

[magilacudy]

I believe they held the release date back (originally both versions were to be released around the same time) because they felt the Xbox version needed some more tweaking on Live and such. I've been waiting for this game since they announced it. It should be worth the wait. :D


Times have a'changed and, as fondly as we remember Street Fighter, we can't help but look upon it like an old dog. You love it but if it pisses on the floor one more time you'll put it down

To add some spruce, this collection is online compatible and you can play any fighter against any other, whether it's Ken from the original SFII or Turbo Edition Ken with his extended Dragon Punch. But beyond that, very little has changed; it's all just been opened up and laid bare. Every SF character is here, but they're still animated at a framerate which these days wouldn't make submission.

Thankfully, despite the clearly creaking gameplay, the Xbox controller deals well with the demands of the multi-button combos, leaving your thumbs mildly aching rather than crippled (handy when those car-smashing levels have been included again), and there is a certain sense of feeling like a kid again when you get Blanka to frazzle his opponents, but we've grown up and moved on, just as this series should have done. Catching up with Chun Li and chums is fine and the replay value is bolstered by the chance to play all the character variations but it's one strictly for nostaligia buffs.


WORST. REVIEW. EVER.

What does "clearly creaking gameplay" mean exactly? They gave the game 5/10.

[Battousai1002]

I already have the PS2 version and will be getting the Xbox one in a few weeks. I'm lookin foward to playing some of you guys. My tag is Taejoo.

[Dok Diamond]

I have it for ps2 and its great, now all i need to do is get an xbox and xbox live.

But i dont know how to hook all of that up.

[fieldkillah]

Since I bought the street fighter arcade stick, I have to buy this game

[CaseyRyback]

I'm definately going to try to pick it up today, along with (hopefully) GGX Reload and SVC Chaos. 14.99 for GGXR and $19.99 used for SVC Chaos, shouldn't be too bad.. three great games for $65? Trade-in promotion, here I come!

if you end up wanting to own someone in SVC, I will be up for a game next week

[GenDV138]

I'll probably get it, if not soon, then within a few months. Still have one GGC coupon stocked up so maybe I'll use it on SF.

[muncle]

Dont forget...the game also comes with Street Fighter II the animated movie! another reason to pick this up at $29.99!!!

[CaseyRyback]

[Scorch]

No one here got it in today.. tomorrow. I will have it tomorrow.

LOTR Third Age almost stole my attention, though.. it dropped to 29.99 new and 24.99 used while I was at GameCrazy.. came so close to getting it.. I will have SF:AC tomorrow, and possibly Guilty Gear.. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[Rig]

I plan on picking it up soon. I held off picking up the PS2 version, becuase I want me some Live play!

[SEGA128DC]

Has anyone seen Street Fighter Anniversary Collection in-store today?...

[H-Town Info]

coming into stores tomorrow

[Scorch]

Has anyone seen Street Fighter Anniversary Collection in-store today?...

You use periods too much. It shipped today. In-stores tomorrow.

[SEGA128DC]

You use periods too much. It shipped today. In-stores tomorrow.

:-s...

[Ugamer_X]

I'm thinking about picking it up despite the fact that I'm plopping $100 down for the Tekken bundle this week...It'll be nice to get my ass kicked at Third Strike without having to get embarrassed in public at my local arcade. I just hope Live play doesn't lag.

[Scorch]

You use periods too much. It shipped today. In-stores tomorrow.

:-s...

Thanks for proving my point.

[Rozz]

I have it on PS2 and its really good, but I wish all of the SF III's could have been added, such as the original and Double Impact. Take the word 'Collection' with a grain of salt. It still kicks ass though.

[xenoman80]

i always wanted to play the origanl sf. i wanna know where it all started from and what characters they have. what systems was it released for?

[PhrostByte]

i always wanted to play the origanl sf. i wanna know where it all started from and what characters they have. what systems was it released for?

Arcade. Street Fighter: The World Warriors was a CPS1 hardware title. It was ported to... SNES, Genesis... look it up at cps2shock.com or something

[nickmad]

ive got mine pre ordered

he means the original, that is SFII.

SF1 has dodgy controls and flat out sucks donkey balls. I played it a few times on one of those 100 games in 1 cabinet arcades.

Oh yeah... yeah I've played SF1, it really is horrible. Player 1 is always Ryu and Player 2 is always Ken. It's as bad as it sounds... google: mame

[Scahom1]

I'll be picking one up. My girlfriend gave me a 12 month subscription card for Christmas, and now I finally have a good enough reason to activate it.

Look for me online: DipsetNJN

[Scorch]

I can't freakin' wait dude, i've been playing Street Fighter 2 all night. I'll cry if the original music isn't in there. I'M SO READY TO GO WITH RYU. We're going to OWN YOU ALL.

[rocknrollpart5]

hey guys, add me to your friends list, GT = rocknrollpart5.

[Matt Young]

I want to get it for the Live play, but it's been so long since I've played the series that it likely won't be worth it. I'd get owned.

[terribledeli]

I pre-ordered mine when it was scheduled for October. Oddly, Gamestop.com sent me my Anniversary shirt around that time.

[Spoon_si]

hmmm... I want to get it.. but i see this game coming around $19.99 in a few months.. so i'll wait...

not a big SF fan like I use to be...

$29.99 is a killer price tho...

[doubledown]

I guess if I wanted to play retro fighting games, I'll stick to my MK2/3 on Midway Treasures 2.....

I've lost my appeal for fighting games anyways

[Monsta Mack]

Got free 2 day shipping and one ugly ass Ryu Bust from EBgames. Hoping to get my copy by Friday.

[magilacudy]

I pre-ordered mine when it was scheduled for October. Oddly, Gamestop.com sent me my Anniversary shirt around that time.

Sweeet. I preordered from Gamestop as well, but my credit card expired and my order was cancelled. I really wanted that shirt too. =/

[BustaUppa]

If it's any consolation... I saw the shirt up close and it was pretty ugly (assuming its the same one they were giving away with the PS2 version).

So is this really coming out this week? I thought it was supposed to, but it wasn't featured in any of the weekly ads. Although one of the stores advertised the PS2 version for this week, oddly enough.

[mbstuff]

About SF1, anybody remember that some of the cabinets came with two oversized rubbery buttons per player, one for punch and one for kick, that you had to actually pound on? Hit it hard for a hard punch, light for a light punch, etc.? I seem to remember this from when I was young, but I'm not sure if I'm confusing it with some other game.

I myself have never seen one of these, but I have heard numerous reports about them. So you're not imagining things. As I understand it, early units had the two big masher buttons and later cabinets had a normal 6-button setup.

You are correct in your assumption. The early versions had 2 buttons that you had to pound on.

[flybrione]

I have been waiting for this game for a long time.

I have the giant EB controller at home waiting for this game.
I am picking it up on Friday (payday) so this weekend it is time for some old school beat downs. Anyone not on my friends list send me an request.
The more SF2 players on my list the better.

Watch out for Blanka :twisted:

I got the PS2 version because I could not wait. Do you think I should trade it in or did anyone here want to trade for it. PM me if interested before Friday because if no one responses I probably going to trade it in.

[Scorch]

Got it, biatches. Let's go. GT: ScorchX. They only had two. The manager was getting the other one. They didn't get MLB 2K5 in today, though. They said tomorrow.

[Rozz]

Scorch, be sure to tell us if online play is any good.

[Scorch]

Apparently Capcom's definition of "very easy" differs greatly from mine. I'm playing SF2 and i'm getting the holy shit kicked out of me.. which makes no sense, because I was playing SF2 last night (SNES) and owning up the place. It's on very easy and the computer doesn't even give you a chance to get up.. pissing me off.

THIS GAME IS UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE! Zagnief doing a piledriver that takes out 75% of my health!? EXCUSE ME, it barely even took 15% in SF2! What teh FUCK is going on with this. I'll get him down to where there's literally no life in his bar and he somehow magically comes back and wins. I'm almost ready to break this fucking CD in half. I'm going to head on to XBox Live here in a second.

Hands down the cheapest game i've played this year. I just played Dee Jay and he'd fire off something and i'd throw a fireball to counter it with Ryu.. and then, somehow, magically, Dee Jay fires off another, another and another in rapid succession. Keep in mind that this is on normal. I'm trying it on easiest right now, yet it still seems like it's set on hard. They block almost everything.

//edit, this is gay. Blanka literally gave me no chance to even get up and decided to win the match by jumping and clawing. Constantly. This game's about 5 minutes away from getting me a fucking refund.

Not really a fan of the remixed themes, either. CPS I is about the closest it gets, and even then.. bleh. Why couldn't they just include the original music?!

[Scahom1]

This game's about 5 minutes away from getting me a shaq-fuing refund.


And in 30 minutes...he will edit his post again. This time, ranting about the EB employee who won't let him return his opened game. :wink:

Seriously though, that sucks. Did you try it online yet?

#1, I'm a former EB employee. That said, I don't shop at EB.

#2, no, not yet. I don't want to play with random people that drop, but I guess i'll give it a shot.

I'm trying it online now. Suprisingly, there's already an update. Maybe it fixes the damn cheapness.

//edit I think it did. It seems much, much, much more balanced out now. I also chose to set the game at a slow pace.

For anyone that gets it, turn it to the easiest setting and play arcade mode. Watch how cheap it is.

[Scahom1]

That's cool. I'd have to remember to do that when I bring home the game tonight.

[Scorch]

How does the fucking computer know always what you're going to do.. specifically, every fucking time I jump, T. Hawk does a jump up.. every time I try to do a low attack, he jumps and dives down. EVERY. DAMN. TIME. What the hell is wrong with this game.. it worked fine the first few fights, now it's like it suddenly slipped into hard mode or something. It's entirely possible that maybe I just suck, but I played Street Fighter 2 the other night and had no problem beating the game. It just seems extremely, extremely, extremely cheap to me.

I'm signing on to Live now. It's took like 30 seconds to connect.

Hey, cool. There's absolutely no way to look at your friends list when signed on to XBox Live. Oh, sure, you can make a match and make it friends only, but can you actually invite them to the match? Nope.

//edit Nevermind. You have to hit the start menu to find the friends list.

[CaseyRyback]

I could have told you the game was uber cheap before you even bought it :wink:

it is one of those games where I cannot stand playing the Single player because of how bad it is. MP is highly enjoybale though

[t65will]

Hey Scorch, why don't you play SFIII single player instead? The computer AI is MUCH more fair and balanced in that game yet still challenging (except for Gill, he's always cheap).

[swetooth9]

yea, i played the ps2 version and SFII is HIGHLY cheap...sf3 however is better imo...balance-wise

[Battousai1002]

Or just don't play single player at all... This game really is meant for the 2 player mode, like nearly all fighting games.

[Scorch]

Trying out SF3.. MUCH better.

[yops2k]

Trying out SF3.. MUCH better.
Just wait until you fight Gill. His moves beat out all of yours, and one of his supers takes away like 1/4 of your life if you block it (about 50% if you don't)!

[t65will]

Trying out SF3.. MUCH better.
Just wait until you fight Gill. His moves beat out all of yours, and one of his supers takes away like 1/4 of your life if you block it (about 50% if you don't)!

Don't forget his cheapest move: "Resurrection!"

[Scorch]

RAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Gill sucks. He only used Resurrection in the second round. It took about five tries, but I kicked his ass. He's awesome. Too bad it didn't unlock him.. I liked SF3 much more than 2. That's actually the first time i've ever played SF3.

[PhrostByte]

I can beat SF2 on the PS2 version but not SF3... See I used to play SF2 hardcore back in the day... Also, I like Bison and I know how the CPU uses him. In SF3, I always die at Gill's stage. I'm not gonna bother checking a FAQ for strategies... Fuck Gill... SF3 is a mighty cool game though. Surprisingly, I never played it before I got the AC for PS2.

[jer7583]

I was going to get the xbox version..
until I found the PS2 one for $15 and also a PS2 chun-li controller for $15. I figured I can put up with playing it on my roomate's ps2 if i get to pay half price.. It's awesome, btw.

[Scorch]

..but the PS2 one came out months ago and isn't even online!

[jer7583]

..but the PS2 one came out months ago and isn't even online!

[evilmax17]

Yeah, make sure to hit Gil out of his resurection. He's not that bad, you can get away with just sweeping him to death.

[xenoman80]

hows the online play guys? any lag? gulity gear was terrible! the lag was horrendous!! an i always had an excellent in my concection. are updates avalible for the game or will there be updates?
i own it for dc,ps2 and soon xbox. dam ima sf addict help me!!!

[Monsta Mack]

Hey my friend says they fucked up the controller convertor users. He has a SF:AC Akuma controller with magic-box adaptor and he said It's hard to even jump or pull off dragon punchs, is this true? I got the SF:AC Akuma controller and owned ass with it, the only let down was the inability to trash talk.

[Negative]

Scorch, Im a little late here, but where did you find SVC Chaos for 19.99? Gamecrazy? Another thing, does anyone know if this sucker is coming out for PS2? I have most of my fighters there, and would like to throw it in for PS2.

well i played about 4 games and there was little to no lag in the games. theres an update u have to do before u play sf:ac online but no download content for this game. theres not people playing sf2 but good amount were playin 3rd strike

I got it, played some games online. My gametag is fieldkillah. Well worth the money in my opinion.

I will put the list in the original post when I get home tomorrow and mark forum names next to GT's.

Hopefully Casey Ryback is available when I sign onto live next week and set up a new account

and Nuby is shooting themselves in the foot by not having the SF controllers available at launch. They cant ever seem to release a game controller when the fuckin game comes out (looks at RE4 chainsaw controller)

[Darkside Hazuki]

My record stands at 6 wins and 16 losses. I'm a glutton for punishment.
Actually, I haven't used my Reflex stick in about two years, and totally forgot
how to play. Must...practice...

All of the games I played were 100% lag free.

Top notch. Go get it.

Tag is Darkside Hazuki. Feel free to pound on me for a while.

[Pylis]

Glad to hear there's no lag. I'll have to pick this one up.

Oh, and forgive me for having no clue, but is lag in Capcom Vs. SNK 2 EO bad? If not, I might grab that as well (assuming I can find it at somewhere like a used game store).

[Arikado]

I picked it up today as well. I used to play 3rd Strike all the freakin' time before Halo 2 came out, so now I'm a little rusty. I played a bit of both 3rd Strike and Hyper Street Fighter II with Ledhed earlier and we were lagging hardcore. My connection has been crappy all night though, so that's probably why.

When I'm not playing Halo 2, I'll mostly be playing 3rd Strike, but I won't ignore Hyper Street Fighter II. My gamertag is Arikado. Add me if you want to play.

[GenDV138]

I'm most likely going to pick this game up when Best Buy gets it in, probably check tomorrow since I'll be passing one on the way to EB.

[Pure Apathy]

I would get it but I don't have Xbox Live.

[Ledhed]

I played a bit of both 3rd Strike and Hyper Street Fighter II with Ledhed earlier and we were lagging hardcore. My connection has been crappy all night though, so that's probably why.

Yeah, we got hit pretty hard with lag. Every other match I played today went smoothly though, so I imagine it was just Ari's connection.

It's a shame they didn't bother to implement the "party" system from DOA:U where everyone could watch the current fight and chat together. But, I'll take what I can get.

[Scorch]

Scorch, Im a little late here, but where did you find SVC Chaos for 19.99? Gamecrazy? Another thing, does anyone know if this sucker is coming out for PS2? I have most of my fighters there, and would like to throw it in for PS2.

It's $19.99 used at my GC, they have two copies.. I might do some trades tomorrow and get it, since they don't tax trade-ins.. but I don't think either copy comes with the instruction book.. unless they pulled it out and hid it behind the counter, which they've been doing lately..

I haven't played online yet. I refuse to play anyone that's not from CAG.. I don't want to play droppers.

[integralsmatic]

ill have to dust off my live box and get it hooked up soon..be prepared to fight Q!

[Ledhed]

I refuse to play anyone that's not from CAG.. I don't want to play droppers.

I played SF:AC for a cumulative hour and 1/2 today, and didn't get one dropper. In fact, everyone I played with was very polite and I had a blast each game.

[Ultimate Matt X]

Get ready to get smashed CAGers, the X is coming. :)

Actually, I'll probably get the hell beat out of me. I'll be on this tonight hopefully. No more heavy Halo playing until I get some maps, its Street Fighter for me.

Glad to hear there's no lag. I'll have to pick this one up.

Oh, and forgive me for having no clue, but is lag in Capcom Vs. SNK 2 EO bad? If not, I might grab that as well (assuming I can find it at somewhere like a used game store).

When CvS EO hit a few years back, you'd encounter a little lag here and there. Mostly dependant on your connection. I never had much trouble with it, and the game is a blast. It's entertaining to whup on folks who think EO is a good idea. Especially if they pick Blanka.

How do you beat an EO blanka with an AC anybody in CvsS2? Blanka was one of the most overpowered characters in that game, and if they just ball and shock the entire time, you're finished.

You can't beat that with AC.

[zewone]

It's a shame they didn't bother to implement the "party" system from DOA:U where everyone could watch the current fight and chat together. But, I'll take what I can get.

Terrible news. I'll be waiting to pick this up on the cheap since that feature isn't in it.

Terrible news. I'll be waiting to pick this up on the cheap since that feature isn't in it.Has any other game had that feature? I was under the impression that DOA:U was the only game in history to do that. I wish every game would have it, but the lack thereof sure won't keep me from buying this. I'll be online with it really soon, possibly later tonight. Feel free to add "Busta Uppa," as soon as I get the game I'll be glad to fight some fellow CAGers. As far as my skills go, I think I'm slightly above average. Like I'll destroy any of my local friends, but I'll probably lose a lot online.

Oh man this'll be sweet!

[Scorch]

Has any other game had that feature?

Yeah, Jedi Academy has it when you do one on one dueling.

[cgh312]

I'm going to pick it up after work today, so put be down too. I'll be online playing both.
Hopefully I won't get destroyed too badly. It has been probably 4 years since I seriously played a SF game.

Has anyone bought this at Best Buy? I'm just wondering because their website doesn't list the game as being available until tomorrow. I'm hoping they're carrying it because I might be in the area today.

It was supposed to come out for PS2 but Sony rejected it, so SNK moved it to Xbox. Its Xbox only.

[flybrione]

You guys are making me jealous. One more day til payday and then it will be kicking everyones arse. :wink:

My main focus will be on Street Fighter II. I played this religously as a kid.

When the one for PS2 came out we had a little party at a friends house and everyone was talking about how good they were. Well I kicked there arses all over with every single character from the game switching back and forth. Only one of my friends was able to beat me and I used Dhalsim in the lose but I had my revenge and beat him with Dhalsim later that night. The other time he beat me I had Zangief. But I was undefeated with every other character I tried.

Look for me tomorrow and Saturday night on Xbox Live.
XBL: BigMes

Now I never really got into the combo heavy games after Hyper Street fighter II Turbo. So I not that good in Third Strike. I have it for DC and played it many times but I can not beat the last guy.

I'm going to compile a list of Street Fighter Xbox Live tags. I won't be on for a few weeks, but thought this list might be nice when I do start playing. Post which game you'll be playing and whether the current tags on here are correct or not (I assumed a few). I put the unknowns in the both category for now. I'll edit this as people post.

Street Fighter III: Third Strike:

Hyper Street fighter II:


Both:

Arikado

CaseyRyback
DipsetNJN
DmanCali

I will put the list in the original post when I get home tomorrow and mark forum names next to GT's.

Hopefully Casey Ryback is available when I sign onto live next week and set up a new account

and Nuby is shooting themselves in the foot by not having the SF controllers available at launch. They cant ever seem to release a game controller when the shaq-fuin game comes out (looks at RE4 chainsaw controller)
I'll keep the list updated until you put it up in the first post. I updated it with forum names too. Do you want to take over updating the list or should I keep going afterwards?

I can use the triggers, not sure why dude couldn't. I can't find an option to change the triggers, but the black and white buttons are mapped to what the left and right triggers do.. I remapped the black button to medium punch, and it also remapped the trigger to medium punch.. so yes, you can remap the triggers by remapping the black and white buttons. Black button is the left trigger, white is the right.

I just found this out while playing a few minutes ago. It's all good. :)

[BustaUppa]

Best Buy didn't get theirs yet; GameStop was sold out... but I went ahead and paid full price at TRU. But while I was there I got a friggin' green tagged Soul Calibur II deluxe edition strategy guide (with soundtrack!), so I still feel secure in my cheapassedness.

So as of tonight I am in! Busta Uppa is the tag. I'll play both... probably Hyper mostly, but I'll definitely be playing both. I'll be on in a few minutes actually (waiting for first Conan commercial break)... so if anyone is up for a game let me know!

[SEGA128DC]

I Hope, I can get the game by next week, I'm home sick with the flu...:(

[Monsta Mack]

Holy crap I just got my ass beat. Major fun though. Theres little to NO lag in most matchs I played!

I play both third strike and SF2, but u can find me mainly in third strike once i get use to the xbox controller with SF2.

My main game is Halo 2, but I think I'm going to make this my #2 live game soon.

[Ledhed]

I'm only about 20/80 for wins, but damn is this ever fun. No lag at all.

Capcom better damn come to their senses and implement the lobby system with an update. I'd pay another $5-10 for that feature alone.

[Monsta Mack]

I also miss the replay feature. WTF were they thinking?

[Scorch]

Added everyone from the list on page one.. let's go, chumps!.. after I wake up!

*passes out*

[Monsta Mack]

I just went 12-13 against this guy who was using Necro/Travel OMFG. His nick was Areyouok. He wasn't the greatest player ever in terms of rankings, but hes probably the best necro player I ever played.

Time to pass out.

Not if I get beat legitly. The only thing that made me quit SVC Chaos was the abuse of the higher characters, especially Goenitz and Shin Akuma, and pretty much anyone with infinite supers. Worst comes to worst I just go back to Halo 2, I'm always 50/50 there. I'm not a very good SF player overall anyways, I just enjoy 2d fighting games.

[Tojo]

I have it.

Tojokun1

I can be found playing either game.

Low tier power, baby. :cool:

I'll be happy to play against other CAGs once my connection clears up. Fucking Comcast. :evil:

[Monsta Mack]

I should note my times of play.
I don't get home till 11pm eastern ( I work second shift) so u can find me in the odd hours aka midnight-3 or 4am Eastern everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my days off, so my times will be different those days.

My SF2 characters of choice: T.Hawk (Get the *** off my casino homeland!) Ken, Beef, Ryu

Third Strike: Hugo, Alex, One Shoto (usually Ken) and Dudley

I'm also going on vacation from March 12-28th I won't be on those dates.

[Monsta Mack]

Theres also a few things that tick me off about this game and collection in general.

Wheres Alpha 3 and the original SF (even if it blows?). I'm hoping they make a second collection Alpha 3 online.

Droppers stil give us a loss? This is stupid.

What happended to replays?

And why does my SF:AC work like crap on my magic-box adaptor? Thankfully Third Strike was easy to get into with the XBox controller, due to It's similiarity of the DC controller.

Overall though this is the best 2d fighter on Live, better then CVS2. But I would put it behind DOA Ultimate's features outside of lag.

[GenDV138]

Just picked up the game from Best Buy for $25 AC, my gamertag is GenDV00138.

[flybrione]

Finally picked it up today during lunch. Will be playing this weekend look out for XBL: BigMes :D

[Ultimate Matt X]

Ledhed is trying to make me sound like a chump when he knows he only got that perfect because I wasn't one of the fireball squad. :) Well, I don't think i was anyway.

More people add me I'm itching for games. I was beating some random ass earlier. I won like ten straight and only dropped one round against this guy earlier and then he finally quit. heh

[Ledhed]

Ledhed is trying to make me sound like a chump when he knows he only got that perfect because I wasn't one of the fireball squad. :) Well, I don't think i was anyway.

[Scorch]

I'm not going to play "Busta Uppa" anymore. Fucking cheap moves where you can't even stand up.

Cornerers/People who won't let people get up = suck

[BustaUppa]

I ain't cheap! I just kept crossing you up! Given more than one match, I am sure I would have proven my non-cheapness. Oh well. Hopefully I may get the assessment of some other CAGs in the near future, and clear my name!

[Scorch]

Pfft. Call 'em like I see 'em. That was funny though, we did have a good match. You beat me one round (without taking a hit, might I add), then I beat you and only took one hit.. then I just got whooped. You're pretty good with Chun-Li.

[Darkside Hazuki]

I'm not going to play "Busta Uppa" anymore. shaq-fuing cheap moves where you can't even stand up.

damn, what an awesome time to come back to CAG. i've finally got my xbl all set up and sf:ac is now in... so who wants some? this is my first time using xbl, so i'm about to deflower myself. anyone down for a game... my xbl and aim name is kristianator.

[Scorch]

Jesus Scorch, you could bitch about anything, couldn't you?

I don't believe that comment was warranted, especially by a mod. My complaint was tongue-in-cheek, hence why I complimented him after he replied. I'm not pissed off. I played more tonight. I get pissed if I get cornered, that's all. Don't worry about it. I don't drop from games.

[xenoman80]

come on ive been whipin ass all note just got the game and the onlines excellent no lag whatsoever. who want some bitches !!!!!!!!!!!
ill be on lata on to whip azz so challege me!!!

[kristianator]

okay, my first night on xbl and my record now sucks. i tried using my ps2/xbox controller adaptor so i could use my joystick, but the shit was running like molasses... to anyone using a stick on xbl (and isn't getting crazy lag time from it), what adaptor are you using?

The thing does seems to bug out once every 20 matches or so, but for the most part it is working great. If it freaks out, sometimes just unplugging it from the XBOX controller port and plugging it back in seems to help. I haven't really had lag issues (well, none that a non-tournament player like myself would notice, anyway).

hmm... i'd rather try to find a working adaptor for my custom stick, but if worst comes to worst, i'll just dust off my x-arcade and get that x-box adaptor then. anything is better than the x-box controller i guess. thanks for the tip.

i'm a non-tourney player too, but i do practice a lot on the ps2 and play in the arcades, and man... i just gotta say that playing "competitively" on xbl really throws you off from non-online play. the timing on it is so crazy. sometimes parrying is insanely easy, other times it's downright impossible. there definitely is input lag, and most of the combos i would normally pull off i'd have to input commands way way earlier than normal.

all in all, i think it's pretty cool. multi-region is definitely awesome. nothing better than getting your ass kicked by japanese urien players. someone mentioned earlier about being able to watch matches and chat... i think that would've been a nice addition... could they normally add stuff like that? i'm new to xbl so i have no idea...

this is gonna be yanking my attention away from world of warcraft for a while, so if anyone ever feels like playing against a mediocre makoto player, add my xbl: kristianator.


and one last thing... before anyone says anything about it, throwing isn't cheap! jeez, if you don't wanna get thrown, then don't get so close... haha.

[Monsta Mack]

I don't get any input lag outside of the SF:AC controllers, they suck horribly with SF:AC for whatever reason.

Yes you could watch other people fight, and people would take turns in a round robbin. It was in DOA:Ultimate. It has the best features of any online fighting game ever atm.

Hmm... I dont know how much I'll be playing SF:AC over the next month since I just got RE4, maybe more after I beat it.

[CaseyRyback]

Even the Mas sticks won't work with SF:AC

that is pretty shitty

[GenDV138]

I've played Ultimate Matt X so far, he's pretty good. I still need some practice though, haven't played Street Fighter for a few years.

[kristianator]

damn, the other night and this morning, all i've been playing against is SAIII kens...

[WildWop]

What controllers / joysticks are you all using to play this?

[tmei03]

just got the game yesterday. half the matches had some instances of lag.

I bought this Friday

[CaseyRyback]

damn, the other night and this morning, all i've been playing against is SAIII kens...

that sucks. Even though I favor a character, you got to mix it up.

I have no problems losing with Alex or Remy :lol:

and I should have my Xbox and SF:AC sometime this week. Working out deals on both

[Monsta Mack]

I use the XBox controller with the SF controller problems. I'm getting use to it, outside of T.Hawk's "The Hawk" which uses three punchs, its annoying to pull off.

And man does anyone talk during 2d fighting games? I had 50+ matchs yesterday and not one person talks. Even a "Nice" would be refreshing.

[Arikado]

I really do wish I could start playing this online. I'm a huge Street Fighter and 2D fighting game fan, but my connection has just been awful lately. 3rd Strike is a game where you just can't have any lag period, especially since I play as Q. Parrying and juggling are a must with him.

Comcast needs to get this stuff sorted out. I'm sick of calling and getting forwarded to their late-night tech support lines in India or where ever it is.

[xenoman80]

some one holla at me ill be on tomorrow playing sf3. my tag's in my sig . post up cupcakes !!!

i didn't talk to anyone because i don't really like talking when i play in the arcade. a few people tried to talk to me, and i think they actually left because i didn't talk back.

you're right though. it'd be nice if people talked a little more. maybe i'll say something next time.

My overstock.com order is still "IN PROCESS" although they've already charged my VISA, $28.00 (shipped). Hopefully, it will be here sometime this week.

I also rented it from GameFLY and that shipped on Friday. :)

What controllers / joysticks are you all using to play this?

none of my adaptors for my ps2 joysticks (or the ps2 controllers for that matter) work properly... i get so much input lag from the controllers that it's not even fun. i'm stuck using a regular xbox controller until i find a good adaptor or at least an xbox controller that isn't shitty for fighting games.

I ordered a Dreambox converter from Lik-Sang yesterday. I'll let you know how it works out.

Whoops, I meant to accept your invite Caesar but I was in the middle of a match. Then I got a invite for Halo 2. So I quit SF and started Halo, only to find the game had been closed. So I went back into SF, then I got an invite for Halo again. I was like screw this man so I just kept playing Street Fighter. Hey I'm new to XBL so this friend list stuff still confuses the hell out of me.

[cgh312]

Hey, no problem Busta. I didn't even know I sent you an invite!
I am still getting used to SF's use of the friends list. Today was my first day playing SF Collection online, so I wasn't quite sure what I was doing either.
I'll catch you online some other time.

[cgh312]

On a completely seperate note, is there any way to tell which SF game a friend is playing. I could see friends playing SF Anniversary Collection, but could not tell if they were online in SFII or SFIII?
What have you guys been doing? Just sending a invite and seeing what happens?

[Socheata]

Okay, I just got the game a few minutes ago. Add me to your Xbox Live friends list if you wish to (XBL gamertag: Socheata). I may have to clear out some names before some of you can add me... :?

If you get an invite while playing the other version, it will tell you it needs to exit out of the game in order to accept the invite. Once you do, it will automatically bring you to the "accept invite" screen for the version your friend was playing.

[Pure Apathy]

Should I get this game even though I cannot get xbox live?

[Battousai1002]

Should I get this game even though I cannot get xbox live?
If you have friends that will play with you, yes. If not, no.

[Battousai1002]

Reposting the list. I'm also thinking about removing the game sections since no one seems to be specifying what they're playing. Original post with updated list:

I'm going to compile a list of Street Fighter Xbox Live tags. I won't be on for a few weeks, but thought this list might be nice when I do start playing. Post which game you'll be playing and whether the current tags on here are correct or not (I assumed a few). I put the unknowns in the both category for now. I'll edit this as people post.

wildwop, i think the general consensus from some of the fighting game forums (namely shoryuken) is that the magic box adaptors don't work either. i may (hopefully) be wrong though. let us know...

Will do. It shipped yesterday, so I'll post on it sometime within the next two weeks. What kind of a range is "7-20 days" anyway? Are importers like the cable company?

[kristianator]

threw down with another ken player tonight... and took that shit to school with elena! beats in my head...

also played a pretty good hugo player... it's amazing how fast that guy can be.

[Matt Young]

I just got the game today. I haven't owned a Street Fighter really since SSFII Turbo on the SNES, so I'll probably get my ass kicked online and get called "cheap" and a "n00b". But hey, maybe I'll get lucky and do OK.

Regardless, I've been looking forward to some good online 2D fighting.

*goes to open game*

[twanky]

someone add me to list, Ramen NoodleS 1. I'll be playing mostly Third Strike.

[Maizrim]

I just got the game myself but before I jump online, I'd like to know more about what arcade joysticks work best with the Xbox.

I've looked into the X-Arcade and some of the Hori joysticks - although most seem to be made just for the PS2.

Any suggestions?

It would be nice to have the two player X-Arcade joystick, but I doubt the wife would want me to spend the same amount as the Xbox itself, on something that would take up more room in the house. :lol:

Gamestop sells the Pelican Universal Real Arcade Stick for $39.99, but they are back-ordered at the moment.

(tag - Maizrim)

[Pure Apathy]

How long do you guys think it'll be before this game drops to $19.99? I don't have Xbox Live, so I don't really want to drop $29.99 on it right now.

[Socheata]

$29.99 is already a steal for this game... :|

(tag - Maizrim)Two-player X-Arcade is a good value in my opinion. A lot of people here think it sucks though and will tell you to build your own stick. Everyone says Hori and Mas are the best. I guess you have to figure how much you want to invest. If you want two joysticks, figure it this way... $150 for the two-player X-Arcade and $20 for an XBOX adapter. Order that straight from XGAMING and you get free shipping. That amounts to a grand total $85 per stick. So I'd say research Hori and Mas and find out how much the grand total of stick+adaptor ends up running you. Also you should consider what you plan on using the sticks with. If you plan on using them with the PC as well, for MAME or anything like that, that's another plus for the X-Arcade since its PC compatible right out of the box (I use mine for MAME more than anything else). Hori and Mas might work for PC but I'm not sure.

Thanks! I had not heard of "Mas" and will check into those. I would love to build a MAME system or learn how to use one like yourself. There are plenty of old games that I would love to play again. (mainly Commodore 64 and I used an old Atari joystick back in the day for those)

To be able to play Racing Destruction Set again would be heaven - that or some old Amiga 500 games I used to play as well.

As for Xbox - mainly fighting games like SFII and SCII or a lil Galaga on the side.

My wife and her friends would use it for Ms Pac-Man, so that might be a good selling point. (the married people know what I'm taking about) :)

Thanks again!

i own 2 custom sticks and one of those 2-player x-arcade sticks, and the custom sticks definitely feel a lot better for fighting games.

BUT, busta has a point, and you're looking at a roughly decent price for 2 (although they are combined) sticks. also, there seems to be somewhat of a problem with a lot of controller converters for custom sticks on xbox(since most of them are made from psx/ps2 controller guts). it lags so much that i pretty much have to use the non-fighting game friendly xbox controller for sf:ac instead of my sticks. i think mas makes sticks with xbox controller guts, or you can use x-arcade with xbox adapter.

I play pretty often on Hyper Street Fighter.

All challenges welcome -- add "definit" to your list. :)

The converter worked with a normal PS2 controller but for some reason did not work for the SF Anniversary controller. Very disappointing.

woah, cool...at the bottom right is a CAG ad :D

[sabin23]

Why did they build the SF2:AC controllers exactly like the Xbox controller?

I liked how the PS2 editions were like the Saturn layout. I bought the PS2 version of SF:AC last year but I feel kind of jipped now that the Xbox has online... and the AI seems way too hard then when I remember in the arcades. I suck I guess.

[BustaUppa]

Wow, I forgot how overpowerd the Dragon Punch was in the earlier games. I've been fighting a lot of champion edition Kens lately, and the priority on that move is ridiculous! Attack from above and you're dead... go for a low sweep and it still hits you! I'm kinda glad they toned that move down. I forget if they modified it for Super Turbo, but I know it was much weaker in the Alpha games.
