If you want an RB2 with more polish then you are probably better off with RBS although it doesn't contain Rick and Xiangfei which were imo strong additions.

I didn't like FF until 3.
RBFF and S just piggyback off everything that was in 3, and for that reason 3 is probably my favorite in the series. Amazing game.
QFT.
I see FF3 as the father of the Real Bouts. But I also see it as the superior game. I know a lot of people prefer the RB's because of the bigger character lineup and all but they were a bit too much about chaincombo's for my taste. Especially the guys with weapons were lame in RB. Imo, it was good that they ditched Billy and Laurence in FF3. I liked the lineup of 3, for starters it introduced Yamazaki and Blue Mary. It was actually a bit sad that Geese was already in FFS. Impact would be greater if he was saved for FF3, hehe.
RB2 has worse graphics imo. Granted, Its more colorful and some characters have more animation (although I feel RB2 Terry has less?) but most of the backgrounds are totally bland and there is only a handful. The lighting effects also seem to be pretty good in FF3, fighting nighttime and in sunlight.
