Alpha Anthology *Capcom for the motherfucking WIN*

hey dont get me wrong i love the alphas i got them all and all the arcade revisions 100% arcade perfect it seems:wink: (fbaxxxpro):wink:

by the way whos in your avatar looks interesting:wgrin: :wink:

The best boss stage would be A2’s Australia stage.

Anyway, Z1 character can recovery roll outta Rose’s soul throw. In HSFZ, Z1 character can recovery roll outta Z3 Rose’s soul throw but Z2/Z3 can’t recovery roll out of Z1 Roses soul throw.

And just to clarify, the damage dealt to opponents are base on your ISM. CE-ISM character does not take CE damage when fighting a V-ISM characters.

edit: V-ISM Ryu vs CE-ISM Ken: doing hadou > t.MK. Highest damage was 92, don’t know how many hits.

Im pretty sure its her:

IMO any ism with a gaurd meter is weak now. Let’s take A3 V-ism sakura for example:

IMO what makes her great in A3 is 2 things:

  1. Her great normal attacks! In A3 v-ism you are allowed to use her best attacks to crush your foes gaurd from any range. That damn back and FP and standing RH kick is too (F’ing) good.
  2. bread and butter v-ism combo! In the right hands she will kill that ass with ease.

Her priority on normal attacks + the gaurd meter in A3 made her top tier IMO. If you don’t have a gaurd meter you can turtle that cunt to death IMO. Yes she will still be good, but she won’t be as nasty as she is in A3. The gaurd meter makes you attack or run because you can’t sit there or your gaurd will be crushed. V-ism sakura, x-ism rolento seems like they count on crushing your gaurd as their main tactic. Take that away from them and they are weaken IMO.

A3 X-ism is still the worst ism in the game. You have no air block and you have a gaurd meter with no alpha counter. That’s still the worst mode in Alpha. Some characters are great in X-ism. Rolento, Sim, chun li, and Adon, but for the most part that ism sucks monkey nuts IMO. We all need to play the game more before we harsh the gameplay or fall in love with the gameplay.

P.S.-I would like to ask everyone that has burned a copy to PLEASE BUY THE USA VERSION WHEN IT’S RELEASED! I’m not trying to tell you how to spend your money, but we must support capcom the right way or they may not make a new game. If it reflects in usa sells that we aren’t buying the games why would they spend MORE money on making a new game? They would just figure/assume that the usa market doesn’t care about streetfighter anymore, so why put any type of effort into a new streetfighter game that won’t get played/paid for.

i’ll be playing with CE and trying to learn A1 and A2. I “SPD” ryu out of his shoryuken with CE geif.

Ryu went "…shor…"
Geif went “…huuuuu…”
=35% of ryu’s life gone! lol

psm reviewed this… and made no mention of arrange versions, different isms, or progressive scan (they said the interlaced graphics added shimmer). i’m worried.

Well they didn’t play the game. They prolly jumped on srk and read the 1st 3 pages of this thread and made a review.:rofl: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

You actually trust videogame site reviews?

They have proven themselves to know NOTHING time and time again. They usually just spout about “rehash” and how it’s not 3d. I bet they just picked a few different characters, and tried a few fireball motions. They only care about graphics and shit, and don’t know enough to tell “arcade perfect” or anything.

I guess lv3 supers arent that safe against A1 chars anymore:) I wonder if it applies to VC’s and CC’s as well…

True. But with something as huge as the wide variety of ISMs and how that alone has made the gameplay and psychology of SF:AA a new experience, you think that they might have said something.

I still am hoping for the best but I just don’t see why Capcom will fuck this up. This is a no brainer.

Don’t worry about it. PSM is a terrible magazine.

Thing is, they probably didn’t even know they were there. I doubt they would have taken the time to unlock, discover, and try the new features. They just played it for 15 minutes wrote “LOL OLD” and called it a day.

Not entirely true. If the guy doing the Gamespot Live preview was any indication, there aren’t a lot of “fighting game guru reviewers” out there. These guys usually qualify for the job because (a) they’re already on the staff; and (b) they’ve probably devoted a grand total of two weeks of their videogame playing time since childbirth to some sort of fighting game.

And remember; a lot of this stuff is still supposed to be Hidden Bonus Material, they’re not going to divulge all of the game’s secrets before its street date. We fighting game junkies may know just about everything there is to know about the secrets in the import version of SFAA, but that doesn’t hold true for the gaming public at large.

they gave it an 8. i doubt they can tell to but they said it was emulated from the arcade and not the psx versions. my point is something as obvious as all these extras should have been mentioned if they were included.

Another thing I’d like to know. Does Vega (claw) have his CvS2/SSF2 Standing Roundhouse in one of the new -isms, like the CE-ism?

Vic Viper: CE Vega (claw) has all of his old claw attacks! No CvS2/SSF2 kick. Additionally, once you knock his claw off, it’s gone for the rest of the round.

Perhaps they didn’t play long enough to unlock those extras.

They probably did what alot of game reviewers do and that is review an incomplete version of the game just like play magazine or hardcore gamer magazine, and like everyone else said they probably played it for 10 to 15 minutes.

Just pre-ordered the north american version. 42.50$ CAN @ EB.

I finished paying off the balance on mine last week at EB for a total of $32.69 can’t wait until the fourteenth.

same here, I ordered it last week, thats all I keep thinking about now, im filled with anticipation.

What’s a good online store for ordering games? Are GamesStop and EB the only good ones?
