Revisions rejected by the community

I get the feeling that this may have been done before and if so lock this thread.

How many times has a community rejected a new version of a game? It seems to happen to Capcom a lot:

Alpha 2 Gold
Alpha 3 Upper
Marvel Superheroes vs Street Fighter
ST Anniversary Edition
AE

And if we’re counting console ports

CVS2: EO.
3rd Strike Dreamcast

I can’t think of too many other companies dealing with this but interestingly Mexico has rejected both of the KOF UM titles and China/HK still prefers KOF97 over 98.

with 3s I think it’s both 990608 revision and Dreamcast, both of which are different IIRC and no one wants to play on either of them.

I don’t think AE was rejected. people liked SSF4 more but at this point people play whatever Capcom gives them.

Truth! (at least when it comes to Marvel and Street Fighter)

4

I remember reading that a lot of top players stopped playing AE for several months and decided to just wait for the 2012 patch. I believe Justin Wong was among them.

Tell that to Cross Tekken.

5

they still play Cross Tekken!

6

Besides SFIV and MVC3, what gets MORE play than SFxT?

7

Vampire Hunter 2/Vampire Savior 2 were pretty much dead on arrival. People kept playing the original Vampire Savior.

8

Every patch of BBB1st after 1.03.

9

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

10

That’s in China only. Hong Kong arcades almost EXCLUSIVELY run 2002 and 2002UM machines. I rarely see a 98/98UM cab here, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 97.

11

Tekken Tag 2, possibly Injustice soon…
Not many people really play SFxT much anymore. It’s the CvS2 of this generation… only CvS2 is a great fighter.

A3 Max
HDR
Samurai Showdown 3 and 6
King of Fighters… A lot of them, which is why most KoF players stick with 98, 2k2, and 2k2UM. I think MadKOF went back to 2k2. 13’s a great game, but sorta derpy with the HD stuff… The game is essentially “first hit > combo video > rinse wash repeat”

12

SFxT pre-patch deserves all the hate it can get.

SFxT v.2013 is better than both UMvC3 and SSFIV.

13

I agree with this entirely, but being better than those two doesn’t make it a great game…
I mean, I’d rather play half of these “rejected revisions” than either of those.
At least in the rejected 3S, still got Chun.

14

Whaaaat?!

15

The truth hurts, doesn’t it? Well, not me.

16

No, I think the serious players loved that lol
Before MK9, it was the go-to tourney MK game.

17

It’s more fundamentally sound. You got proper footsies going on and none of this 50-50 vortex shit.

18

People love UMK3. Mortal Kombat Trilogy, that’s the one that got rejected.

19

I was just joking around. I haven’t played SFIV since Super, haven’t touched MVC3 since 2011, and I have never once played SFxT. I just know it’s okay to hate on SFxT and had thought your comment was going to prompt a turd-storm from the masses.

Was Super Street Fighter II The New Challengers rejected at one point?
