Whew that was a close one
Yep. You’re right. I always get those two mixed up.
Before the 980629 version, there was the release of the beta or test version of A3 going around. I briefly played this and believe it to be the same game in which those properties you listed - which were also reported on agsf2 - are present. Other striking features were the lack of a ‘Counter’ message, and I think some characters were able to crouch underneath Charlie’s Sonic Boom. Some one has mentioned to me that they might be able to get access to this board. If this happens, I’ll make a report on it.
I heard that in the beta version, X-ISM Ken’s super by itself would guard crush, and Dhalsim’s ground super hit low, or it was an overhead, or something crazy like that.
Dunno if that’s true or not. Never liked A3 enough to play it much.
oh shit!! your right!!! OMG, dark sakura in the game, OMG, I think I may be buying this now, definetly!!!
EDIT- Was evil ryu always in Alpha 2?
My memory’s a bit rusty, but as far as I can remember:
He wasn’t in the original Japanese Alpha 2 (Zero 2). But he was in the western releases of Alpha 2. He did get added in for Zero 2 Alpha (aka Alpha 2 Gold), which only got an arcade release in Japan.
Evil Ryu was in the Arcade and in the Saturn port.
Didnt Alpha Anthology win the “Best Fighter Award” at this year’s E3?
I think so.
This is some good news, I was planning to buy the Alpha series too, and after hearing the information I was distraught, however I’m feeling alot better now, I can’t wait for this to come out, I’m mostly in it for Alpha 2 though.
Wow, that is great news all around. I just hope that if this Alpha 3 arrange mode has the console characters that they actually bother to balance Guile. He’s so much worse than Charlie that he is basically worthless. Also, after opening up MAME and MSHvsSF that Sakura pic looks almost exactly like Evil Sakura in MSHvsSF, so it seems likely that Capcom actually put a great deal of effort into this. Here’s hoping Alpha 2 gets an arcade perfect port, because that’s my main interest, although Alpha 3 I would like to give a chance.
Lol, Guile did suck big time in the PS1 version, made me wonder why they even bothered to put him in there if he was going to be that crappy…sonic booms where so pathetic, not only that, but flash kick went so damn high up into the air, it’s just plain awful, given they shouldn’t make him beast like how he did back in oldschool, but make his flash kick better, and maybe tone up his booms too.
Here’s hoping that the arrange version of A3 is just arcade A3 but with the console characters added in.
why isn’t this on the xbox with live? i would have bought, but not for ps2 and nobody to play
its kinda weird seeing everyone bitch on it for not being arcade perfect then cheer for dark sakura.
but like everyone else im totally releaved and will drop my preorder for both this and CCC2 asap 
Really? 
were did you saw that? Do you have any sites/links for that?
Thanks in advance.
Uh why the hell is dark sakura in a3???
Wtf…there’s dark sakura in A3??? I didn’t remember reading that in this thread…unless I completely wiffed it:sweat: …still even if she’s in there, as long as the game is arcade perfect, I’m not going to complain.
Couldnt agree more:lovin:
arcade perfect for the win
They did it for story reasons. Guile was never as powerful as Charlie was (cannon-wise) until the SF II games.
Yeah, I know it’s kinda nuts to make a character (that isn’t Dan) crappy on purpose.
Apparently there’s an arranged version of A3 on the same disc as well, so the console characters and junk will be on that version possibly.
no chance of an xbox live release?
