good ol' play2win on New Oxford street has it, hazaa, but there's 2, terrible, terrible draw backs...

1) 3 FUCKING BUTTONS!!? there's no D button, what the fuck is wrong with these people?

2) not quit as sever, but still annoying, the buttons are in the wrong order (assuming that the button arrangement is the same as kof, i.e. A=light punch, B=light kick, C=heavy punch, D=heavy kick). Instead they had it as A,C,B!

But now to my experience and general opinion of this game. On my first go I was very, very disappointed, to the extent of saying "what the fuck is this recycled kof bullshit?" And yet, I played on, as if gripped by feral madness, the game, despite it's non-threatening appearance, had it claws deaply nestled into my flesh. How can this be? Is there more on offer than what appears before me?

Yes.

£8 pounds later & i understood why i continued to play this most uninspiring of offerings...

it's fun, simple huh?

Plain old fashioned fun, in it's most simple of forms. C'mon, be honest, this game ain't no KOF98, and it certainly don't hold a candle to FF:MOTW, these are some pretty deep games, with practically revel in their complexities, 'on screen martial arts' as some magazine or other put it, real heavy stuff. Sure, you can have shit loads of fun playing 'em, but make no mistake, it's more than a game, it's war, strategy, serious shit (just enjoyable).

With SVC, to me at least, it seems more playful. i'm sure there are quite a few nasty combo's available to the expert player (i was actually on the recieving end of some serious wrath from some Kyo player), but i can't help but feel that that isn't really the point, as it is with stuff like '98 and MOTW, where fun takes plays second fiddle to skill, e.g. a skilled player vs an unskilled play+ very one sided ass kicking! Whereas here, i find that you don't necessarily have to called Ryan Hart to be any good at the game.

Not that i'm saying that any old moron can pick this up and be an expert (even if it does seem like i'm implying that), merely, that you can leave your brain at home and just have a bit of fun, as opposed to organising your troops for the final coup against the evil empire!

All in all, a very nice game, and a lot of good fun, brought down only by the weight of expextation that was placed upon it.

ps.

Goenitz is a dirty son of a bitch and i hope he rots in hell!

Dan has really been training hard! (I would have beaten him second time round though, if only that Kyo player hadn't come along & kicked my arse so bad with his freakin' 9 hit combo's, WTF was that shit, someone's gotta tell me)

MR KARATE IS GOD (that Kyo player was dust when DA MAN was selected!)

Is Kim crap in this this, or was it just me? (please let it be just me!)

Genjouro= Ought to be illegal!

Hugo= fuckin' hard core! (why does Bao live in his hair?)

Goenitz is easy as hell. Just be patient. He'll get tired of throwing funnels at you and use his shitty attacks, then you rush him down and don't let him get very far away. Either that or use super jump (d, u) and get to him quick and rush him down. Either way, rushing is the most efficient way to beat him.

Dan is a pushover...pssshaw

I found goenitz cheap the first time i played him but once you realise how to fight him, hes lame, just get up close then trip him,

However that problem with the no D button must suck as for me i am a player who uses the D button most to kick and trip as im a more physical close contact fighter than a special moves player so hard kick is all important.

Yeah, I went to Play 2 win last week and made a complaint to da manager (i was just about to put my money in!!)

I recommend you head down to my good friend steve @ Games focus (near casino, on the same road as the TESCO's) they've got SVC there £1 4 3 creds and it has all 4 buttons.

Concerning the game the only characters I have trouble with is Orochi Ken, Shin akuma, Kyo and sometimes earthquake (that DM gets me all da time, i always forget to block up!!)

Geonitz is a peice of cake!!! I got to him with Terry and gave him a good kickin'!! all u heard was 'Burning!', 'POWER GEYSER!!' and 'are you o.k? BUSTA WOLF!!'

My best charcters in the game are Ryo (wipes da floor with Ken and Ryu:glee: ) Terry (quick and powerful downsides is his weakened anti air moves:mad_2:) and the MIGHTY GEESE HOWARD!!! :buttrock: this guy rules!! nuff said. Check out how much his rising storm takes off even when you block it.:tickled:
