SVC Chaos was released overseas today. I played 14 games so far, and the lag is comparable to CVS2 lag. HOWEVER, if you are a masher, there are times if you press buttons (like Light Punch or Light Kick) rapidly to get the moves out, there is a distinct possibility the moves will come out twice. To compensate for lag, I pressed jab twice with Dhalsim numerous times, and the game actually caught up to my button pressing as opposed to negating it. This will be interesting, but I seriously doubt it will have much affect against anyone in the USA, just overseas.
Also, YOU CAN ONLY PLAY ONE MATCH, there is no option on a session to play more than ONE game. You can enter a lobby and keep inviting which is the fastest way to get matches going. Maximum of 8 players in a session.
good that’s all i’ll probably want to play anyway lol. man why is this game 50 friggin dollars. i want to buy it just to support 2d fighting games, but with GG at 19.99 and Cvs at 29.99 at launch, $50 for an inferior game just seems hard to swallow
yeah i was planning on buying all the 2d fighters to support but 50 dollars… like i said before i wouldnt pay .50 cents in an arcade to play chaos why would i pay 50 dollars.
snk is going high with prices, the 2k3/2k4 bundle is at 40 dollars. ill most likely buy the kof bundle then wait for gamestop to get a used chaos for like 20-30 bucks.
Dream, did you noticed they fix universal charge? I can charge DB with Guile and now get flash kicks out, I couldn’t in the arcade.
Anyway the game seems a little easier on the controls to me and the way they changed the effects was very welcome. I just wish they ran a filter on the backdrops cause some really look lackluster. On the bright side the character portraits when they talk shit to each other before a battle look great. And yes this game is in 480P, the intro looks fantastic, a shame the whole game couldn’t look that sharp!
BTW Color Edit mode is very cool as the names you can display are a lot longer than those in CVS2. Also the sound effects have a lot of “oomph” to them, lighting people on fire, or getting knocked down really uses that BASS. As far was editing the soundtrack, sorry but no ADX in this game, seems to be using the XSB, XWB formats which I know of, but never could get them to work, if anyone has info, please PM me.
I noticed on the Demo that it played much nicer than the arcade version and the cleaned up effects are cool also. $50.00 is steep but I just want to support SNK and Capcom any way I can.
I got to play this today at the mall they had it at gamestop. I was actually pleasently suprised they put this game on the xbox, I always walk in their hoping that just once they would have a 2d fighter on there, since there are literally no Arcades in my area. I ended up winning all my matchs against random people even though I was playing horribly on the s-pad I barely could shoryuken lol. I found the game to be actually pretty fun I may pick it up just to mess around with.
Just picked up SVC and its alright, thereis just two things aboutit that REALLY pisses me off. One the one match bullshit that fukin sucks and GC is just as hard for me as GGXX Live air dashing. Maybe its just me, but I think that one match shit ruins the online feature.
