Judging by the video, the SF3 sprites have lost a lot of frames; see Chun’s overhead kick and Yun’s command grab. Makes me wonder why they bothered redrawing them for CvS2 in the first place.
Also, there’s quite a bit of slowdown when Guy jumps at Hauzer. It’s nearly as bad as when big characters roll in the car-crash stage of CvS1. Hopefully that’ll be fixed…
On the bright side, Sagat’s in a background. 
You can dowload the trailer from ign and save it. No need to install lamespot spyware crap just to see a stream.
I really like the character roster, it small and full of characters I like
you obviously missing the point of me replying to you when its so obvious. capcom resued sprites. thats it. end of subject. it doesn’t matter if there sprites look better, has more animation. I don’t see how easier i can put it to you. The whole point is they are REUSING SPRITES! Like i said before, for years (thats YEARS) capcom fanboys have been taunting, making flame threads, interrputing SNK threads about crappy snk graphics and how much they REUSED SPRITES. You couldn’t even make an SNK thread without a capcom troll coming in ruining it saying the same lame excuse about how crappy the gfx were or about the reused sprites. Now, i just know your gonna make up another lame excuse to defend capcom.
U r missing the point, capcom has been reusing sprites also for years. What i was saying is that it doesn’t matter if snk/capcom reuse sprites as long as the animation is there. There is no reason y snk can’t put any animation into there characters after 10+ yrs. But it doesn’t matter. This game won’t be as bad as SVC and probably not as good as CVS, just a game till SF4 comes out
You need to go back to the first page and read time_stops very first post. he posted:
This whole discussion about reusing sprites started with him. He ONLY indicated about reusing sprites. Then you come in, defending capcom about how at least capcoms animations are better. That statement just screams fanboyish its not even funny. And now your making another lame excuse about how it wont be as bad as SvC. Again, the whole point is REUSING SPRITES. You are straying away from time_stops original post with Gameplay and Animations to defend capcom.
The funny thing is that i never said that capcom doesn’t reuse sprites. So time stops comment doesn’t even apply to me. He was talking about people who flame about SNK reusing sprites, which i have never done. now with that said look at A3 blanka and CVS2 blanka. That’s an obvious sprite rip.
I was just referring to the fact that capcom makes up for reusing sprites by AT THE VERY LEAST having animation for their characters. I’m just wondering y snk can’t do the same. Rehashing sprites isn’t a problem for me, but crappy animation is. Especially nowadays it’s no excuse for SNK games too look so bad.
Dude who gives a fuck? Capcom has been reusing sprites for years. Most of the CvS cast and the CvS2 cast consisted of reused sprites. I don’t know what you guys are trying to do here. Do you think that you’re somehow getting revenge for all the times some Capcom fanboy started a flamewar in your thread? The fact of the matter is that SNK does reuse sprites and has horrible animation and that fact doesn’t even have ANYTHING to do with this discussion. Neither is that shortcoming on SNK’s part somehow justified by the fact that Capcom is now releasing a game with reused sprites. About the only thing your points are proving is that you’re no better than the people you’re badmouthing.
Man this game looks terrible. This is the reason 2D fighting games are pretty much dead in mainstream. No effort was put into this game at all it seems. I won’t even touch this one…what a trajesty
Can some1 host the vid(s), cuz I can’t see the gamespot one, and I don’t wanna play $$$ to see em
I totally agree. This is highly disapointing.
CvS at least featured new sorites if the SNK Characters. This looks (so far) to be a game completely filled with recycled sprites.
If there are at least 5 new characters, like Haggar, bionic commando, breath of fire characters, or viewtifyl joe ir something, then I’ll be excited.
So not all hope is lost yet. But it doesn’t look good.
If a well drawn Ingrid sprite is in the game, I guess I’ll be pretty happy (or maybe it will be the 3d version, seeing as how they’re just flat out cutting and pasting shit into this game).
I might not be that excited about this game but it’s all you could expect at this point. Fighting games are dead to the mainstream andthe people who still play fighting games are picky as hell. So just give me a good looking Ingrid sprites… and hopefully some online play. Then I’ll be happy.
Someone already mentioned this, but you can get the video from IGN.
I have a feeling that this game will be crappy as hell. Then a sequel will be made that is way better but will have some overpowered characters.
sf2 ww was broken
sfa was rushed
sf3 was garbage
cvs1 was crappy
I hope this game doesn’t follow the same trend in past capcom fighting games. Capcom should have learned from their mistakes by now.
And to the guys bickering back and forth about teh sprite rips, we get teh point. If people complain about snk ripping sprites then just ignore them. I play snk games and don’t even notice the graphics. I play them cuz I like the games. You don’t have to make a point to the people in this thread about the hipocrites(sp?) that bash snk sprites. If anyone has bashed snk sprites and has taken a look at this game they should STFU, bottom line.
The game does look disapointing so far but it doesn’t matter because its only 30% complete. Ill just wait and see how it turns out in the end.
I don’t know about that “filler” theory either. If I was capcom I wouldn’t waste my time making a game when I could concentrate all of my resources to making sf4 the greatest 2D fighting game ever. shrug
peace

Am I the only one that doesn’t give a fuck about the sprites?
game looks fun from what I SAW on the vid. How it ends up in the end, well thats another matter.
No you’re not.
To me all I care is that the character is there. I could care less if they used SF2 sprites.
Nope. I don’t care about the sprites.
A lot of other people in this thread have already said that they don’t care about the sprites either.
Besides, this thread has become an arguement about the sprites. And it takes two differing opinions to make an arguement.
Incidentally though, it seems to be mostly the ones that don’t like the sprites that keep arguing, while the rest of us are like w/e.
I just don’t want them to use SF1 sprites, lol.
I’m just happy to see another 2-D fighter come out. I’ll take what I can get at this point.
Just got through looking at the vid, the game looks pretty cool for a first attempt. I already know Capcom is gonna do better in the sequel anyways. I like the idea of being to change characters each round. Characters having their own styles seems alittle unfair to me, but is pretty unique. I wonder how the properties of the CCs are for the Alpha people (invinciblity frames).
