How do the console ports all compare to each other? I assume Dreamcast is basically perfect, right? How are PS2 and PS3 comparatively to each other and to Dreamcast? Is PS2 close to perfect? Is PS3 definitely worse than PS2?

I hope everyone kept their CVS2 copy and still have a working PS2 or DC…

DC=PS2 > PS3 >> XBox > Gamecube as far as ports are concerned

I like DC better than ps2 personally, the couple of times I’ve got to play on cvs2 cab it felt closer to dc…

but I have heard that there is difference even from cab to cab

Does this game still have lag? That’s one hell of a shame if it does.

^ of course ps3 version does. but its playable.

I also like dc version best.

I went to boot this up the other day and my MC Ctulhu’s were giving trouble with it. All the buttons work fine but the joystick response is stuttering and the PS button doesn’t respond. Wondering if anyone else has come across an issue in the same fashion. So far it’s just with CvS2’s PSN release and the Cthulhu.

I had that issue too. It worked fine before though my PS button never worked, but my stick would only take inputs 1F at a time. Dunno what the issue is.

@YariX0083 so for you there was a time whereas you were using a Cthulhu with CvS2 on PSN and it worked fine but then at some point it started acted funny like mine? I wonder if there was a CvS2 update that screwed with it?

It’s a firmware issue. The latest ps3 update caused PS3 non-pad accessories to work with PS2 classics.

I probably came across as pessimistic and cynical in my last post, so sorry.

Maybe a full-on revival would be too much to ask for, but how do we go about putting CvS2 out there for the current generation of fighting games to get some new blood into CvS2? Can’t just let the old-heads have all the fun and we can’t really put any hope into Capcom or SNK-Playmore going for another CvS game. Not much stock for a proper re-release either.

Only way I can see is just to get some heads together and play the game. I’m hopeful next year’s CEO will be a good tournament, but expecting some miracle from above ain’t gonna get it done. Get the game played at your local gathering and take it from there.

The CEO tourney next week is featuring it too.

Are any of you folks with PS360+ or any other PCB aside from the MC Cthulhu able to play CvS2 PSN effectively?

On the revival tip, here is a cvs2 group on fb, join up! https://m.facebook.com/groups/451935014923275

Would you mind requesting capcom to do a balanced patch for the game ?? and .adjusting the normal combos timing and make it like 3rd strike ??

^ hahaahahhahahaah

“Joined: 6 years ago”. oh I know you are not THAT stupid…

As KOF 2002 UM (which the old vers is 1 year younger than CvS2) player i don’t think so…
The game is so popular even some KOF fans consider it better than KOF13…
Try to find out by yourself if that new ver was a stupid idea : )

  1. Changing CvS2 combo timing to be more like 3S would be pants-on-head retarded. If we wanted to play 3S, we would play 3S.

2 Things, one you may have some luck updating the firmware, (not sure about the process for PS3 hardware and what that means for saved stuff, etc…) but I don’t think its anything to do with the processor exactly, its something to do with the input emulation, yes the processor is different between PS2 and PS3 but if that were the problem the entire game (video, loading, etc) too would also be slow, the input lag problem seems a little more isolated and somehow poorly emulated… apparently there are other PS2 (on PS3) games with this kind of issue too, but I’m not sure how important the issue is to other games, the problem is to CvS2 its very important to the gameplay… if I were playing an untimed Sudoku it would be a minor annoyance, but in CvS2 this lag doesn’t cut it…
