Hence why I said advance remake. They can remake the game and add characters, arenas and events to the original game. SNK did with Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition and Nintendo with Metroid: First Mission.
I’d rather no game be made than a bad game.
an advanced remake would be good. But it shouldn’t be an Alpha iteration. It should be its own entity, e.g. Street Fighter 1 HD Remix or Street Fighter Genesis if you want to get corny.
I would be 100x more excited if this were to happen sometime in 2015 or later. Can’t say I’d be too happy about this anytime soon. Especially with DS:R earlier this year.
We don’t need to see him like that though.
Every game being made is an opportunity cost. Why should Capcom make a SFA4 instead of a SF5? The Alpha games have flashier presentation but also more shallow gameplay than the mainline SF games.
The Alpha Series games are about as much alike as SF2 is to SF3 is to SF4. Which is not very much.
Just because you’ll eat up everything Capcom puts out nowadays doesn’t mean everyone else will.
The most recent tier list has the A-ISM and V-ISM versions of Dhalsim as top tier. Of course he’s a naturally strong character regardless of his ISM, but X-ISM’s own mode limitations prevent him being in the same class as his counterparts. The most glaring of these being the lack of the Yoga Escape. This move, absent from X-ISM Dhalsim’s repertoire, allows Dhalsim to teleport out of almost every juggle VC, shutting down a major damage avenue for a significant chunk of the cast. Next is X-ISM’s inability to Alpha Counter. With this, now every character with a guard crush VC or unblockable VC can, once they’re in, reliably take off anywhere from 50% to 100% damage just from having Dhalsim block a jump-in. None of these disadvantages are there for A-ISM or V-ISM Dhalsim.
Better in what way? Certainly not for damage, nor range. And Dan has no quick overhead to start his CC, which for Birdie does 90% damage at level 3.
I guess I mis-remembered a3 but Birdie’s Lvl 3 90% CC requires great execution and the timing of it changes depending on which stage which makes highly situational. How many people besides you and randomdp can do 5 finals in that combo?
Certainly all the Birdie players I’ve seen: iamthegreenplug, RSX, dna/smartpartrol, Dreamfire and mods. And on a regular basis, too. I’ve seen that combo successfully landed more than enough times to know it’s a reliable CC.
Better to have no games than just games the majority of players will like. Brilliant.
I have been playing Alpha 2 a lot lately, and I personally definetly like that one more over A3. Mainly because you don’t start with your meter, and this leads to A2 to have more resource management skills, plus there is more head games on when to use your meter (since there are more variable levels), or when to counter pop.
Feels more focused on fundamentals then A3is (not saying a3 is without any kind of footsie game or anything though). I am also a little bias because
I just enjoy the fact Alpha 2 mimics ST’s control scheme, which is more natural for me.
Skull Girls. Filia = magneto, PW is kind of like Sentinel, Peacock is Cable. Other characters have other similarities. Game has double snaps, is reset orientated, etc. I have some marvel 2 friends that just literally play like they would in marvel 2 and do pretty good.
Oh yeah, liking Street Fighter games is such a crime.
Some people like shit. SF died when Inafune ended funding to fighters and split up Dirty Beret.
Melty Blood has a 2 button ground & air dash, super low air dashes (almost like triangle jumps), and reverse beats allows you to do some crazy combos, and blockstrings that aren’t possible in other games. It’s literally the only “anime” fighter that I can give a shit about, but the netcode is garbage, and nobody plays it locally.
Who’s the majority? Didn’t SFxT outsell AE? If so then tell the people who returned the game or didn’t buy it in the first place that Capcom is still doing right by them.
I’ll sit back and watch hilarity ensue genius.
The thing is Capcom doesn’t list DLC.

SFxT out sold UMvC3 though.
Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 were some of the finest fighting games created
And then CVS2 came along and I remember shitting my pants at how good it was.
