i also dabble in vf4evo and some tekken. mostly tekken tag but i did get into 5 for a little while. i absolutly hate dead or alive. 
I used to play abit of Tekken when over afew acquaintances houseshowmuchkeefe wrote:I've become a bit of a Namco fanboy. Yeah, their games aren't the best balanced in all the land, but I firmly believe that there's more than enough psychology involved to make up for it at the level I play at (scrub w/experience).
I love Tekken and Soul Calibur2. My favorite characters are Paul, Lei Wulong, Jin and the Mishimas in Tekken, and Raphael, Astaroth, Talim, Voldo and Ivy in SC2
Tis been a lonely time since my friends got bored with the games (and since several of them discovered EQ). I pine for fighting games with online capability.
), since "hardcore" fighting gamers take themselves and their "craft" even more seriosuly than hardcore shmuppers do, by and large..."sacrilegious" stuff like Waku Waku 7 which drives them up a wall is my favorite kinda thing, heh.
I could never get into the RealBout Series it'd the button layout that puts me off, I cant seem to get having only 3 attack buttons and a whole button dedicated to dodge.Imhotep wrote:I used to play more fighting games, but if I play now, it's Real Bout Fatal Fury II. I can definitely recommend it, it's SNK's best beat'em up imo.
Too bad the PCE Dash never made it to the US. I like how the Turbo home versions on SNES and Genesis have both dash and turbo mode. I remember reading in a magazine about some of the endings being censored in some of the US versions of Street Fighter II games. Is this true? If so, what exactly was censored?CMoon wrote:Street Fighter 2 dash (IE championship edition) got mentioned early on and I am glad to see it getting noted. I loved this game to death since it is really everything the original world warrior should be, and what so many 'upgrades' in fighters aren't. In short, everything that really needed to be changed in world warrior was fixed, and many aspects were improved. This was the first fighter where you could play two versions of the same character against each other, it was the first street fighter to let you play as a boss, and almost every character had their moves altered in some slightly more useful way (except for poor guile).
For me, Champion Edition and Super Turbo (two very different games) sum up the very best of street fighter, with 'dash' capturing the original flavor of the series perfectly, and super turbo pointing the direction toward future series. Definitely two of the best fighting games ever made.
All of the sf2 games are playable on the saturn, so there's really no need to bother with pce or snes versions. Not to knock them, but the saturn ports are obviously as close to arcade perfect as anyone is going to bother, and of course has the best controller ever made (!) This is the way to play SF2 et al., or you could hold out for the Capcom love-in pack that keeps threatening to show up.BrianC wrote: Too bad the PCE Dash never made it to the US.

I suspect, since visuals wouldn't be a problem for either console, that the PSX ports are better due to sound.CMoon wrote:All of the sf2 games are playable on the saturn, so there's really no need to bother with pce or snes versions.

I don't know anything about the edited endings. Although it wasn't like sf2 was ever about the story anyway. Haha! Once when I was playing sf2 CE, I managed to accidentally trigger Ken's wedding music at the end of a match. You know: "You win!" and then the wedding music played. hahahahaha...
