[quote name='Jest']I'll be picking up SFIITHDR on PSN soon, anyone else play it on the triple?

And does anyone who is picking up the 360 LE of SFIV want to trade figures?[/QUOTE]

I'll swap with you.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Well then, is XvSF worth it if I have MVC and MVC 2? I didn't think that game would be better than MSHvSF...[/QUOTE]

Yeah. The Saturn version with the 4 MB cart is $$$. You should be able to get it fairly cheap on eBay (at least it used to go for about 15 dollars when I was gonna sell my extra copy.)

It's soooo good.
 
[quote name='depascal22']Definately get the Saturn version. Hell, I"m gonna go hook up my Saturn right now.[/QUOTE]

That's the spirit! I'm gonna play some Ninja Gaiden 2 in a bit if I have a time. Have some prep work to do in anticipation of the Eagles / Cards game that kicks off in 3 and a half hours.
 
[quote name='PhrostByte']In order words, all the XBox fighters are useless unless you have an XBox? :([/quote]
KOF 02/03 has boxes around the characters, but otherwise works good. I haven't tried neowave and I think I sold it.

Rouge is a lot more useful because she could steal moves from the other characters. Hadoken from Ryu, Raging Demon from Akuma, etc

[quote name='Rodimus']Not sure if it was posted yet but Samurai Shodown Collection got pushed back to March 10th. Will we ever see this game released?[/QUOTE]

We usually do see the games eventually. I think the only time we haven't was in the case of KOF 94 Rebout. But yeah, SNKPUSA is pathetic when it comes to releasing stuff over here. They didn't even need to do anything to the disc... it was probably already in English...

I should be on XBL for Street Fighter tonight around 9 CST, if anyone's up for that.
 
yup! stayed home instead of going to regionals!!

I went bboying instead, and ran into the older brother of top MVC2 player Fanatiq.

I didnt kno who he was, we were jus talking about bboying, but once we found out that we've met before all he kept talking about was games!!

he wants me to enter a MK v DC tournament, and I'm like ummmmm...

and he's like "yeay I useta be hella good at bboying, I was doing air flares n shyt a few years ago but I cant do them now since I dont practice much"

and then he pulls off a 90 like it's nothing o_O what a bastard lol
 
so there's a pretty good chance I'll be picking up a ps3 in the next 2 weeks and I was wondering where i can find the best deal on the sf4 ce pack. any ideas?
 
sweet! i've bought stuff from DD beck when they were DDD. i've had minimal problems with them and hopefully this arrives on time. thanks!

so... anybody down for some 3S on ggpo? lemme know
 
I've wanted to re-buy a saturn again for those two sweet, sweet vs fighter imports, but doesn't GGPO + USB Saturn pad make it kind of a moot point?
 
Team XCM will be sending me both the Cross Battle Adapter (360 to PS3) and the Dominator Arcade Stick (PS3) for review on SDTEKKEN.COM!

I hope they're good!
 
wow... wasn't expecting this :lol:

I hope the Cross Battle Adapter is lagless. I was going to dual mod my SFIV TE stick, but if it works, I'll get one of those. I would like one of those 360 Fightpads too, so then I could use it on PS3 and 360 no problem.
 
XvSF was sort of a must buy--I guess I had to have as many of those Saturn fighters as I could find/afford. :p

The SFIV producer teased the possibility of another CvSNKP game, but I'd rather have the more impossible to happen MvC game. :p
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']MM any updates on your arcade stick site? I know ur busy as hell but just wondering if it's still on track.[/quote]

It's on hold. Work has been owning the shit out of me :(
 
[quote name='JEKKI']that's so $%#@ awesome.

all I wish is that General Sawada is an unlockable character.

Sawada 4 lyfe.[/QUOTE]

Sawada was so beastly. I wish he was in SFIV. ;)
 
Wow, like 8 posts in a minute. Question: Is there any reason to pick up Vampire Savior on the Saturn over the PS2 compilation? Like, are there remixed soundtracks or anything kewl?
 
All I know is Saturn with the RAM cart was always more beastly at 2D/frames than the PS2--especially for arcade perfect fighters. Haven't played the PS2 compilation myself, so I couldn't say if there was any reason to pick the PS2 version beyond it having all the games on one disc.

I haven't had a chance to play any Saturn games that use the 4M cart, but I'm hoping to in the near future. I really haven't had a chance to give this system much play time yet, and that makes me so terribly sad. Heck, I don't even have any fighters right now... just Mega Man 8, MMX4, Galactic Attack, Panzer Dragoon Zwei, and Silhouette Mirage. That's not nearly hardcore enough.

But soon...
 
I was totally out of the Saturn loop... all I had at the time was my PC version of X-Men: COTA!

I have no idea how arcade-accurate the game was... all I remember was that you needed to install a patch to get chain combos to work. Oh and the arcade code to use Akuma was in. Best thing about that version now is that it used Redbook audio, so all the music tracks are right there on the CD!
 
I played both the Saturn VS and VS on the PS2 Vampire Collection. They are pretty damn close, though the Saturn version has the English option, with (ugh) white blood. So I always played it in Japanese. The Saturn version of VS, meaning, the closest one to it character and gameplay wise, not the actual Saturn version, is unlockable in the Vampire Collection.

VC runs in 480p too, so it looks pretty good.
 
X-Men COTA was the first fighting game I saw in arcades that wasn't Street Fighter II. It was easily like... the coolest fucking game ever. Seriously, what an awesome concept... just make a buncha X-Men characters fight, but also make the game fun. I remember the arcade cab that the game was playing on was one of those with a big screen TV and it was pretty awesome, especially since I was a stupid kid at the time who didn't know that TVs could be made that big.

So if you could only have one version of the game. Like, some dude says "hey man, I'm taking one of these two games from you, and I'll kill you if you try and pull a fast one..." which one? I don't really care about having all the other DS games that aren't as good, either.
 
As much as I like compilations of old school games, I hate unlocking games within the game. Just let me play it when I want! :p

You must have loved Sonic Gems Collection:

Bare Knuckle (aka Street of Rage) play SGC for a total of 12 hours and play Bonanza Bros once or play any combination of any other game at least 30 times.

Bare Knuckle 2 (aka Street of Rage 2) play SGC for a total of 12 hours and play Bare Knuckle once or play any combination of any other game at least 50 times.

Bare Knuckle 3 (aka Street of Rage 3) play SGC for a total of 12 hours and play Bare Knuckle 2 once or play any combination of any other game at least 70 times.

Bonanza Bros. play SGC for a total of 12 hours, play Vectorman 2 once or play any combination of any other game at least 20 times.

Vectorman play SGC for a total of 5 hours or have a Sonic Mega Collection save file in your memory card.

Vectorman 2 play SGC for a total of 7 hours and play Vectorman once.

I think there was another Sega compilation... maybe the original Sonic Mega Collection... that actually required you to have a save file for Sonic Heroes to unlock a game at all. There was no other way. I think it was Comix Zone, so no big loss, but still. Ridiculous.

Hmm, well, The Vampire Collection is $25 on Play Asia. That's pretty cheap. And I can play it in 480p and use PS2 sticks on it. But I do have many fond memories of the Saturn version. Give me a few days and I'll compare them fully and let you know, if you are curious. I don't have access to my PS2 or Saturn at the moment. :cry:

And as far as unlocking things, I just DL'd a save, because I'm impatient.

Yeah, man, if you don't mind, a quick comparison would be super helpful.

I think that Marvel Super Heroes had the collapsible floors again, but the VS games didn't.
 
Value-wise, I'd think the PS2 version would be better if you don't already have a PS2 to Saturn adapter for your sticks (assuming you don't have a Saturn stick). I'd think you'd have to be a frame/pixel counter to really care which version, but again, the Saturn was made for 2D arcade conversions, while the PS2 is generally just emulation bolstered by brute force processing power (I think).

Also, I already went with the Saturn version before the compilation was available and prefer Savior enough where I don't think I'd get much use out of playing all the different versions, so I'm biased.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']I think that Marvel Super Heroes had the collapsible floors again, but the VS games didn't.[/QUOTE]

XvSF has one stage with the collapasible floor (the one where you're fighting on the street with cops around, it collapses into a sewer.)

By far the coolest was Spiral's though... it could break like 3 times if I remember correctly.
 
yeeeeeah Spiral's was dope.
MK3 then had a similar effect with their breakable CEILINGS. I feel like that had more of an "oh shit!" factor the first time you saw it, but it didn't really blend into the gameplay in any meaningful way (other than breaking a combo after a launcher, which they fixed in UMK3).

Floor breaking mechanics of Marvel + the audiovisual "impact" of MK3 would be sick! I always thought a stage where you shatter through a glass floor (loudly!) would be neat. I guess DOA has sorta kept this tradition alive, huh? I remember DOA:U having a decent amount of "changing" stages... throwing someone out of that cathedral window was sick!!
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']what about the bath stage in MvC? if you had a throw like Venom or spidey that threw the apponent into a wall you'd go to the next area... my fave MvC stage.[/quote]

I liked that stage too. I think you started in the the mens area then broke through to the womens side. I always thought of it as an enhanced Honda stage from SFII.
 
There was also a stage with a collapsible floor in marvel superheroes vs streetfighter. I don't remember who's it was, but you fell from a street into a sewer.
