The point is that the sound doesn’t matter. Thread arc over!
Update
the game suffers tearing. It happened twice.
That’s 2 negatives so far from this game.
Any start button problems: i.e.: Menu goes up, during Character Selection? Digital Eclipes is known for this problem.
How is the pause menu a problem?
More sources of these negatives please.
Additionally, how is the gameplay aspect (besides the sound)? I know Sirlin says it’s an emulated arcade, but I imagine people will be checking anyways.

If I remember, Start is required to get Akuma. Not just that, but also the Start button color, which isn’t that of a biggie.
yeah the voices and impact sounds are a bit messed up
that kinda does urk me
what is tearing?
an offensive audible tearing with the sound effects? Or a visual glitch. Becuase one time my screen flickered a little.
i dont know
pause menu only comes up when start button cannot be used for any purpose
Because the sound effects don’t make the game any more or less fun for competitive gamers. Game mechanics, balance, and variety is everything.
Serious competitive gamers don’t care about sound, music, or graphics because they don’t affect replay value or the depth of the game.
After playing hundreds and hundreds of matches, you stop caring what the game sounds like and wish you could listen to something else anyway.
The way you put it made it sound glitchy. If it’s not glitched then I could care less.
I saw a couple things like this at Evo when the game was in demo mode, i think everyone assumed that it was because it was a beta version and nobody payed attention. Hmm, either way it’s only $20 so i’ll give it a shot.
Got mine today.
I forgot how impossibly hard ST was on Arcade:arazz:
the audible cues from the sound effect actually mean alot to me when I am playing
playing with the sound off is usually somewhat awkward/difficult for me.
and I really cannot play fighting games with any type of music on whatsoever it messes with my rhythm or something.
but in this particular case the problem really doesnt affect me much, it is just mildly annoying
Tearing as in the screen flickered. Also, the audio is not just a bit messed up, it’s sever.
It’s like a rom/emulator version of this game.
Uhh?!
Of course it’s “like a rom”, it’s emulated. There is no arcade perfect version for this game, so it has to be emulated in order to get arcade perfection.
Was that not the entire point of this thread?
i did not preorder sfaa and got a copy just fine
Everybody should quit complaining!
If it plays exactly like the arcade, then its good enough!
Damn right :tup:
can you like, explain? I don’t understand what your saying. does the star button pause the game or not? is it mapped to a different button? Also everyone needs to stop over reacting. It’s like a fucking competition to see who can be the first to prove this version is ‘not quite right’. I didn’t believe the first reports about Alpha Anthology and I’m taking everything on here with a grain of salt.
ST has crappy sound anyway, so what’s the big deal?
i’ll be playing it in a room full of noisy friends anyway, as i’m sure most of you will
and if the sound glitches really are that annoying, then play it on MAME at home.
QFT… that’s why some people actually enjoy deep and good games which may look and/or sound like crap.
Sound is still somewhat important - ya know, some people can play their games better with some audio cues.
