According to EB, it's gonna be 29.99 for the ps2 version, and an xbox version come in Janurary, at 39.99?

Anyways, I'll probably throw down 30 for a home port, seems fair.

PS SNK can still blow me. There might have been a teeny, tiny chance at me getting SNK vs Capcom if it was 30, but 50? Give me a break. Capcom has outclassed you twice so far (30 for Street Fighter Anniversary, now 30 for CFJ).

Word around the street is this game is pretty good. I still hate the games that don't put ryu AND ken in.

I'd have considered SvC Chaos it if it were $30-40. Right now, I'll give it a big skip until the price drops (or until Target surprises us with some sweet deal on it).

Midnight Bliss! I like Urien's the most, but they are all kickass. Notice who Ryu turns into....the little girl he gave the money to for milk in Street Fighter II the Movie.

Chun Li
Demitri
Felicia
Nool
Ingrid
Jedah
Mukuro
Pyron

I don't mind them, in fact, I really like Ken, but a game like this dosen't need BOTH Ryu and Ken.

Taking out Ken made room for someone else who hasn't been in every game since the dawn of time.

As much as I like Ken (he's my favorite Capcom character) they don't have to be in EVERY game together.

Honestly though, I'm a bit irritated that they managed to squeeze 3 of 4 shotos in there. We could have done w/o Sakura and Gouki this time around.

I like Sakura and even I agree with this. Overall I'm hearing that the game plays well, but looks like ass. At least the endings look cool. Sounds like it would be worth getting for $30.

Sakura is different enough to warrant being there. Hell, Ken and Ryu, and Akuma are pretty damn different imo... if anything leave out Akuma or Ryu.

Plays well, looks like ass, and costs $30?

I'm sure it plays well, it was made by competent fighting game designers.

I'm sure it looks like ass, but at least it looks like ass from 2001 instead of ass from 1996.

And $30 sounds pretty good to me.

I think it was Gamefan where right after SFIII came out people wrote in and bitched about how Ryu and Ken were in there, so other players could just walk up and use them to trash others who hadn't learned the new characters yet. People will complain either way.

I have no problem with akuma being left out, or saks. WTF has sak's playstyle been thats so revolutionary in any of the games where shes actually played? Span standing roundhouse -> V-Ism bullshit combo? I'll pass. Ken is oft extremely different in playstyle from ryu, esp if you threw in say, 3s ken as opposed to ST ryu. 3s chars, throwing fireballs are worthless, where fireballs ARE ST. So bam, you can two completely different chars (Seriously, thier playstyle would be so dramatically different...). I think I enjoy the ryu ken matchup more than any other matchup in any other game, sorta gives me a nostalgia vibe.

If Fighting Jam is as good as people have been saying, then I'll have three fighting games to play on Live (the other two being Guilty Gear and SFAC).

1UP.com hands-on: http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3135730&did=1

1UP talks more about the background of the game, and even says PYRON IS UNLOCKABLE! they both say the same thing too... the roster should've included more characters per team, but at the same time, what you get is still pretty good.

Man, that's fucking awesome.

But I don't think they should bitch about the roster just yet if there are hidden characters.
20 Oct 2004, 01:45 AM
Shadow Not Shade

There are only two hidden characters, Pyron and Akuma.

It's still a pretty diverse roster, tho, so I'm not complaining. I can't wait to start beating people up with a Guile + Urien team. :D

"The arcades are practically non-existent in America so it would be good to see this gold mine of history be collected in more compilations. Still, if there's one place to see varying styles of play in one place, then you can't do much worse than Capcom Fighting Evolution to see just how the genre has grown."

IGN really needs an editor. :wtf:

...because the players of Virtua Fighter riot every time the frame data has been changed. Talk about lame excuses, especially when they did change some of the characters in the game to fit. Alex is either faster or slower, I can't remember which.

They'd of course have to change a lot about each character for game balancing. There's zero credibility to that excuse.

Its not the balancing of the character they are refering to, it is how smooth the animation is creating a feel of the fighting games of the time period it is supposed to represent. Seriously, ST ryu would not feel the same if his sweep didn't look stupid as shit, his crouching forward didn't magically appear on the screen longer than his whole body.

ST Ryu has his CvS2 sprite. ST Bison has his CvS2 sprite. ST Guile has his Alpha sprite, as does ST Zangief.

So his animations in ST2 and ST3 are identical then? Face it, it's a lame excuse and a line they've already crossed in this very game, not to mention a number of times in the past.

Can't be sure, but it looks like the cover was done by the same people who are doing the Street Fighter comic, and also did the endings for the game, but none of the other art.

Every thread should have some sort of post on the first page or something that tells the currently scheduled release date so I don't have to say:

"What's the release date for the Xbox version?"

testers and reviewers all have final copies right now. People who write the guides get them early. That's how the vids I posted were captures. It's out in Japan, just not on PS2 yet.

With all the inconsiderate assholes out there, YES. Yes they do.

If they annoy you, simply click the "X" in the upper right hand corner and call it a day. Not a hard thing to do.

I had no problem whatsoever looking at the pics. The branding was not obtrusive for me. Said "inconsiderate assholes" out there may rip your pics off or even worse- steal your bandwidth by hotlinking them. I use an imageguard script myself so no one can hotlink. If I start having people steal images out of my site, there's gonna be more branding in my game pics.

Seven Force- good pics there. :) Thanks for sharing.

Jedah's getting ready to get worked in his ending.

I wonder why Capcom didnt put Dante in the main game. That would've been pretty slick. But of course that would've entailed actually having to do some work and create a new set of sprites. :\

But they did make a few sprites, for that Ingrid character that they fors ome reason feel has to be in a game. Its like when Capcom All-Stars went under they HAD to get this Ingrid character in some game.
