NEXT STREET FIGHTER:

Note this is rumor from a reputable arcade news respondendt.. take this with a grain of salt... sad really:

I was forwarded a rather interesting e-mail tip last week in regards to the development of a new Street Fighter game inside of Capcom of America. If the e-mail is accurate, Street Fighter fans may have a bit of a shock on their hands.

According to the e-mail (and I have to emphasize that this is an unsubstantiated rumor from someone claiming to be close to the development of the title), the next Street Fighter game is in its planning stages and is going to be released solely for the console market (PS3 and Xbox 360 according to the source). Furthermore, it will not be a fighting game, but rather an action game that focuses primarily on Chun Li. I've been told to think "Devil May Cry" meets the new Chun Li-centric Street Fighter movie.

I'm not surprised by this news. A couple of years ago I may have been, but after the interview in which Capcom has stated that they are looking to branch Street Fighter out into a platform specific property, it makes sense. I tried to contact Capcom of USA last week to get a response to the rumors, but after I was given no response by the company I have decided to go ahead and post the information.

I've been told that the Hyde Park Entertainment Street Fighter film has been put on the fast track for production, and the movie (which begins filming in 2008) should be ready for Fall/Winter release of next year. If this is the case, the new game's development may be striving for a simultaneous release. I'll try to have more information soon. The source for the e-mail expresses a bit of concern for the Street Fighter franchise.

Ever since Capcom of America gathered the rights to the series, people have wondered whether or not the game would be leaving its arcade roots. This may very well be the first sign that it is.

Though the source seems convinced of the story, I'm chalking this one up as simply a rumor for right now until I get some more corroborating evidence.

Blame Wii Fit.
 
Not surprising at all. and it is definitely all Wii Fit's fault.

If that news is true about the new "Street Fighter", it's nothing but a mistake. How do Capcom and Arc Systems / Sammy not realize that these new action games are going to sell like shit and only enrage fans even more? All they'll do is make people angry. I can also guarantee, and I'm willing to bet anyone here any amount of money, that they'll both play like absolute GARBAGE.

Reading that rumor pisses me off, I can't imagine how I'm going to feel if this becomes official. Just give us fucking Street Fighter 4, it really isn't THAT difficult. fuck, re-release 3s with 2 more characters, additional backgrounds, and an extra special move or two, and satisfy the people.

I'nm with you on that... Capcom has spoon fed everyone way too much BS... yes it's nice to see a semi new fighter like Basara, but Capcom needs to dig its roots for once without a remake this time.
 
[quote name='DomLando']Any news if they fixed the bugs in Accent Core for the US release?[/QUOTE]

(look for Zenmetsu's post)

I mentioned it a couple posts ago, got lost quick :)

Zenmetsu guy over at Dust Loop got his copy early since he ordered from Aksys. He mentions what glitches were fixed (the major bugs from the JAP release) and which ones are still there.

i think only one of them was decent, another had okay fundamentals. i had no fundamentals and was totally unfamiliar with GG, so i lost when i played at work =P


ssbm is another story though. i was the most technically competent player, but one of the worst fundamental players. it's fun to impress people with wavedashing, and then confuse them with why i just fell off the stage for no reason.



speaking of which, ssbm is awesome. it needs more love in this thread!
 
[quote name='jimfoley16']I love Smash... my main is Samus. That's a fantastic game that doesn't get enough respect IMO.[/QUOTE]


:lol: my ass that it dosn't get any respect... 90% of people I know that don't even play games respect the hell out of that game... IMHO too many people like it (not that it's bad, just the popularity kills it for me). Heck, every campus I've been on (so far that's counting about 8) smash bros is all that is played.

Rumble Fish... now that needs some fucking respect.

also looking forward to the upcomming AM show with tekken news.


also has anyone ever played Demolish fist? aside from the slow walking, it kicks ass... I played in an arcade 3 years ago and I finally found out the name to it:

also, is this any good? Kenju:

Smash is a solid title IMO... it has enough depth to make it enough of a competitive game IMO... moreso than some of the more recent shitty fighting games lol...

Hopefully the popularity carries over to Brawl, I'd like to see Brawl at EVO2008...

I just wish traditional fighting games were even half as popular as SSBM was...

agreed. agreed. agreed.


My guess still is that once a solid sort of online community and better connection speeds show up, fighters will hopefully make their comeback...
 
There were some nerds at my school with a Rumble Fish JAMMA rig hooked up to the TV... they all had arcade sticks too. I can't believe at how high the level of nerdiness is at my school. I thought I was one of the best Tekken players there but I only placed 4th in the schoolwide tournament last year. Btw, I go to UMBC.
 
Man, Samus is crazy. I can't really stand her slow falling, but one of the guys at work played a really good Samus and he usually 2-stocks me if I play Falco. Her Nair has insane priority and I can't really edge-guard her that well. I do like her little glitch wavedash with the bombs though =P

My mains are Falco and Marth, with Peach sliding in at a distant third. Falco's just awesome with the annoying SH lasers and L-cancelled drill / shine combos. I started out playing mainly Marth so I have a good feel for the tipper hitbox, but I suck with Fair comboing. And I just like Peach because she's super annoying with the vegetables and the floating air moves... oh man.


The only real complaint I have with Smash is because it's such a crazy game, you find differing rules everywhere... I only like playing 1v1, no items, safe stages, but at work it was always FFA with a bunch of random crappy stages like Poke Floats turned on.

It gets enough respect as a game since it seems so easy to pick up and play (used to play a lot in college), but not enough as a fighting game within the 2D/3D community. But its' not like the smashers care, their community is bigger anyway =P
 
ReRo, I meant doesn't get enough respect in this thread. We never seem to talk about it. And yea Chac, I play Samus. I used to play Marth, then moved to Fox, then got bored with both and now I play pretty much only Samus.

And I hope that fighters make their come back when connection speeds get better. That would / will be super sweet.

edit: kain, i agree that it doesn't get enough respect in the 2D/3D fighter community. it's a great game. also, I like playing 1v1 / no items as well. I don't mind the FFA's with friends though.
 
ok nvm then >_<

probably because I don't hold enough interest in it due to the fanboy following. If it was the same exact game but coated in different paint with totally unrecognizable characters, then I'd be all over it.

I never had anyone to play GG with :( and I havent played fighting games at all in about a month (since around evo west)... I shouldnt even post here anymore :(

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']Rumble Fish... now that needs some fucking respect.[/QUOTE]that game is whatever... it looks very gorgeous but does not offer much else...

I donno how good it is balance wise tho, but at the end it's nothing new or exciting apart from animation

Roaming around the SRK boards, it seems that people do like the game but say that RF2 is so much better than the first game.

Even so, I'm still thinking about picking up RF1 in the near future because I'm a fighting game junkie. The game can't be as bad as the SF EX series.

Also here's hoping that GS/EB gets a reasonable amount of copies of GGXXAC tomorrow. I have a handful of things I want to trade in for it.

i'm really competitive so playing FFAs kinda frustrates me because i feel like i'm never completely in control, and a lot of things i learn in FFA don't really apply to 1v1 and vice versa.

i was so stoked when i learned how to ledge hop! but then playing at work i never really got to do it so i was all sad. dash dancing / wavedash dancing to bait whiffs just isn't the same in an FFA game. =P

they're not really competitive, just hobby players.

i haven't played in a while either. gonna gear it up soon, no pun intended =P
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']Rumble Fish 2 is pretty decently balanced, but has yet to have a PS2 port for no reason...??? why!!!?[/QUOTE]

To spite you. Would be nice though to have a new (and good) console fighter to mess around with.

[quote name='nintendokid']Why GGXX when you can have Accent Core?
[/QUOTE]

I think Chac meant Accent Core. If I'm not mistaken he bought the Japanese version (PS2) of Accent Core when it dropped.

Aksys fixing all the glitches the Japanese version had is definitely worth buying this game again. I have to remember to trade in some random stuff to GS or GC on the way back from classes today to get it.
 
Just put my order in for Accent Core. I'd forgotten about the US release until this morning. I ordered it from gamestop.com. Since I couldn't find it anywhere else online, I wonder if it will be a limited release.

Now, I feel better because
I downloaded the Japanese version.
 
I just picked up a copy of GGXXAC on the way home from my classes.

The EB I went to only got in 3 copies, 2 of which employees (both of which are friends of mine) already had pre-orders for. I was lucky enough to get the last copy.

I already have Slash, but I'm going to get used to playing AC for now. It's so weird to have a new (and good) fighting game here in the U.S. Sort of used to all my PS2 fighters being in Japanese :)

Anyone else pick this up today?
 
I didn't. I'll pick it up sometime in the next couple of weeks, but I'm not in a hurry coz I played the Jap version and coz nobody here plays fighters. Hopefully next week.

I got it, preordered from my local GS. I had bought the JP version but returned it sealed after hearing about the glitches. I still suck at Slash anyhow so it's not like I was in dire need of another GG game.

I picked it up today. My local EB got one copy in.
 
So is Accent Core just receiving a weak first week shipment, or is it going to be teh rarez? I'm going to guess that the Wii version will be shipped in greater numbers. I see copies of Metal Slug Anthology for Wii all over the place, but the PS2 version is harder to find. It's possible that it sold better, too.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']So is Accent Core just receiving a weak first week shipment, or is it going to be teh rarez?[/QUOTE]

Probably just a "small" first week shipment. Didn't SNK do the same with the AOF Collection and FF Collection?

The Wii version could very well ship more copies than the PS2 one, since in most news bits the PS2 version seemed like an after-thought. Then again it might not, who knows?

Good to see a bunch of you guys picked up the PS2 version.

do the doa4 stick and fighting stick 3 work with mame? I can't get them to work...
 
Where I live, there are 3 EBs and 5 Gamestops. Not a single one had the game.
So I am going to wait until tomorrow to see if at least ONE store has it.

Not sure about the fighting stick 3 but for the doa4 stick do a google for the xbcd drivers. It allows you to map everything perfectly.
