Your thoughts on Street Fighter 2.5?

Im sure weve all heard about this about a month or so ago. Theres a small article about it in the new PSM, doesn't say much of anything though. But it got me thinking about the game again.

From what little we know about it what do you think of Capcoms approach to this new installment in the Street Fighter series?

I think SF2 had the best artistic style of them all, so basing the new art work on that style sounds great to me. Hopefully the rumor about the original 12 world warriors returning is also true. I think that SF2 had one of the most diverse best casts of any fighting game. There wheren't alot of pointless characters that all played the same like we see so much of in Namco's fighters, and in some of the later SF and KoF games. (Do we really need so many Shotos for SVC:Chaos?)

Im not sure how Capcom is going to do the gameplay this time. As long as its not as jugglehappy as SFZero3, and not as sparce as the SF3 engine (awesome as it is), ill be happy. Hopefully parrying, or a similare system, will survive in some form. Ive actually become quite a fan of roles lately. But NOT the way Capcom did them in CVS series. They where WAY to powerfull there. If roles are done like they are in KoF, that could be a welcome addition to the gameplay. Still in the end I dont think I really want them in a true SF game.

As for graphics. I hope Capcom doesn't use CPS2 or CPS3. Naomi would be the best fit, or the PS2 based arcade board. Either of those should be a good choice. If Capcom doesn't put this game in high resolution I will vomit. Please, no 3d backgrounds! Make it 2d all the way.

Special effects: I love a good flaming dragonpunch, or shin-shoryuken style effect, but the giant flashy explosions we saw in CVS2 dont belong in a game like this. Save those for Namco and their Tekken, fists of electricity, games.

I think it would be cool for Capcom to revist 3 or 4 past stages from old SF games. Redrawn obviously, and changed. Like revisiting your childhood home 10 years later. Its familiar and comforting but different. They could even do the same thing with a few of the classic SF2 BGMs.

Well those are a few of my thoughts on the subject.

For sure SF2 (variations of) are the best in the legacy, i just hope they drop the look of SF3 and go back to more traditional (SF2) or anime look (zero/alpha).

SF3: Third Strike is without a doubt the BEST in terms of aesthetics and sound. I prefer the Alpha engine (mostly the air/ground recovery, the juggles I can live without) but I think overall the effects and presentation award goes to Capcom vs SNK (the first one). The booming music, vocals, and nice, shiny particle effects for the special moves were top notch. The stages were incredible as well, SvC's look fairly bland in some repsects.

Wasn't this confirmed as a mistranslation by Capcom in an interview about 3 months ago?

yup. my srk loving friend was telling me about this recently as well.


Anyways, Burrito, TS IS NOT the most visually impressive game in the series and ZERO series looks like shit.

SF2 is the best looking game in the series. Everything in that game is colourful, clean and very attractive. best BGs ever made, im afraid.

TS is washed out, bland, and sometimes the animation is inconsistant.

Must kill...must hurt...must maim....

blow_top very_ang DIE!!! very_ang blow_top

Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is THE best looking 2D game ever created. Period, end of story.

BG's, Sprites, Animation, Colors, everything.

Just cause it's not "old school" doesn't mean that it's not good.

I think SF3NG looks LOADS better tghan TS as well, but just because, technically, TS is upererior, doesnt mean it is visually superior.

The ART is SF2 is just superior. The game has such a good look to it.

TS...please. Games that look better than TS:

Yeah, watch out JHendrix, everything Rade says is actual fact, since he obviously presents it that way. And there's NO arguing with what the internet tells you right?

Get a life Rade. Toodles, fuckhead.

Please...is anyone going to listen to this klassic kid's opinion when it comes to style or taste?

Have you seen the way this trog dresses?

Pleeeeeeassseeee. While we're all at it, how about I invite all the members of the forum over to my house...we'll give my dog some acid and ask her which game she likes best.

In short, Rade has horrible skin problems, and his opinion is worthless.

Super Turbo is just the best fighting game ever. Gameplay mechanics, art, backrounds, music, characters. If you disagree then you're wrong. Facts buddy, has nothing to do with opinions :)

Look at these little children! Some one doesnt agree with them on a videogame and they go to town. Gang up! Yeah, really cool.

You guys are just children. it's too bad, really, that you have to use my image as a last dith effort to try to get at me. It's not working though.


Sorry, fags.


P.S. Ket your own identities Burrito/KA. You are the fucking same.

or course I cant live up to a false online persona! no one can! You are a lie.

KA, in reality, you must have some serious social issues to have to make yourself out to be so cool online. REALLY sad.

Where've you been? I've always used your horrible image to attack you. In fact, that's what you always whine about you little tit.

Make up your mind.

Mocking ones personal appearance is the true sign of idiocy. You don't have a leg to stand on, so you go that route. ANY idiot can do it. As a matter of mact, everytime you do, it just makes me more right. You honestly suck at this.

Fucking idiot.

And you must be a complete moron if you think this cocky persona is really me. What are you...5 years old? How the fuck did you log on to the internet?

Thanks for analysis though, Dr Crane. How much do I owe you? Here's $50, keep the change and buy a comb.

You are right. You are a loser in real life. I didnt say you were anything else. You're not cocky, you are a loser. Get it straight. ...and diluted

edit: and for an artist, you are a shitty artist.
