No, I donā€™t know what it looks like. NKI knows, maybe we should ask him.

Those picsā€¦ did you scan them yourself or did you find them online? Cause they really donā€™t give me any kind of info about what character details they go into. :expressionless:

I got them from the internet. I remember that Yoga book now, talked to vasili10 about it.

Youā€™re welcome folks. Iā€™ve pretty much given you all the info I know concerning books with frame data and move names in your PMā€™s Ultima. I donā€™t know of any source strictly for 2I, just NG and 3S, seven books in all, three or four with stuff youā€™d want.

Not sure if this is where this should go, but it was the best place I could think of at the momentā€¦

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics for ā€œReady to Fight!ā€, the vocal version of the SSF2/SSF2T credit roll? I just came across this song today and I love it. Thanks!

EDIT: One off-topic question:

I was able to get all of Feliciaā€™s VS normal attacksā€™ names from an archive of dashtaisen.com. But does her old, two-hit c.MP from VH have a name of its own?

Below you can see Akumaā€™s(Goukiā€™s) Udon-ized sprite! :lovin:

Felineki - Donā€™t know what CD has that song. You may want to PM Ansatsuken-TKD since he has a bunch of SF albums I donā€™t have yet lol! I can tell you itā€™s not on the SF Tribute Album, SF2 Vocal Album and the SF Artist Image Album if it helps narrow down your search.

Awesome!

Form what Iā€™ve read, it was on the SF2 Complete File album, as well as the Vocal Arrange disc that was part of the uber-rare SF2 Collectorā€™s Box.

felineki: re: Felicia

HUh. I coulda sworn I had posted a reply to felineki here, but either the forum ate my post or I forgot to click ā€œPostā€. :expressionless:

Anyway, Gamefanā€™s old Vampire Hunter and Vampire Saviour books had the names for all normal attacks (a rarity in english guides; AFAIK only those two and legendary Versus SFA2 guide have them), and I have both, so Iā€™ll look it up when I get home.

re: XSF book

Also, I went and bought that XSF book. Only cost 500 yen (though of course, by the time you factor in shipping, itā€™ll cost 4 times that, so Iā€™m gonna have to order some other stuff to make it worthwhile). I guess Iā€™ll know what itā€™s about in a monthā€™s time. Iā€™m hoping it at least has the name for every normal attack. Frame data would be nice but Iā€™m not counting on it.

vasili10:

I need move names/frame data for SF3 games. You say itā€™s only available for 3S and NG. Iā€™ll take what I can get. Can you please identify which book has what?

I see some auctions for the SFA2 official challengerā€™s guide. Iā€™m still contemplating if I want to get it just to have the move names for A3 Fei Long, T.Hawk, and Dee Jay, because it wonā€™t be much good for anything else.

SF2 stuff should be covered by the Yoga Book Hyper. I wouldnā€™t mind getting something for the earlier SFs, but it might be overkill. It would only be for move names anyway, and I expect all of them to be in the Yoga Book Hyper. IIRC the only normal that was ever removed and never put back was Blankaā€™s old c.s.HP in WW (Rolling Nail). Some of Hondaā€™s normal get swapped around from SSF2 to ST thoughā€¦ But then again, it may not matter since I canā€™t read the kanji for those anyway (note to vasili: Iā€™m compiling a list of more moves I need translated. I have AASFZ3 but most kanji I canā€™t read, so a few normals here and there - and in the case of Honda, practically his entire move list - Iā€™ll need help with. Thanks). :stuck_out_tongue:

Iā€™d love to know if Capcom extended their obsessive naming qualities to their other games, particularly Final Fight 1,2,3, Aliens vs. Predator, and the Muscle Bomber series. But I donā€™t know if anyone has the answer to those questions. :expressionless:

Thereā€™s a Gamefan SF3NG guide out there as well; stumbled upon it one day at a used games shop.

For NG, thereā€™s either the NG Gamest mook, with Alex on the cover, or the AASF3 Fighting Bible. For 3S, thereā€™s the 3S Gamest mook with Gouki, Ryu and Chun Li on the cover, or the DC 3S official guide with Chun Li and Gill on the cover. IMO, youā€™d be better off with the 2 books rather than the 2 mooks for your purposes, and theyā€™ll most likely be easier to find and cheaper to get.

Keepā€™em coming, in small doses please.

vasili10:

I have the Gamefan NG guide (I actually bought it when it was new!). It does not have the names of every normal. In fact, it doesnā€™t list the proper names of all the non-super moves - all the JPN moves are listed in english (many of them wrongly I suspect, but Iā€™m not sure), even the common ones like Hadouken and Shoryuken.

That book also has some of the the most hilariously pretentious writing Iā€™ve ever come across. Itā€™s just jaw-droppingly awful. The section on parryingā€¦ my god. Iā€™ll post it up here some time next week (Iā€™m virtually never online on weekends) if anyone cares to read it.

re: books

So just get All About SF3 and the DC 3S Guide with Chunners and Gill on the cover. Gotcha. Thanks Vasili.

Say, does anyone know if there was a guide for PSP SFA3? That might be the only place where I might be able to find names for Eagleā€™s normals. :expressionless:

Ah. I knew the Gamefan guide had errors, but since you listed the guides for VH and VS as normals sources, I thought maybe thereā€™d be a similar ray of hope for the SF3 guide as well. Guess not.

There are two AASF3ā€™s; look for the Fighting Bible as I mentioned earlier. Youā€™re welcome Ultima.

I donā€™t know of any guide for Alpha 3 Max/ Zero 3 Double Upper; if there was one I wouldā€™ve probably perused it in a bookstore or bought it by now.

Thanks, Ultima! :bgrin: Speaking of Blankaā€™s old cs.HP, I managed to actually get him to do it in ST using ArtMoney hacking. So itā€™s still there, although you canā€™t actually use it in normal gameplay.

Uh oh. Akumaā€™s looking good, but less than perfect. The hair needs to be bigger, and the kanji on his back needs to be centered. But I love the Hurricane Kick sprite.

Interview

A little too muscular. The legs looks like they couldnā€™t carry that giant upper body. Sort of like Johnny Bravo. Still good to see new SF graphics. A good idea would have been to just use the original sketch art as a base for the proportions.

Iā€™ve added some more of the interview with the SFII cover artist to fightingstreet.com

Zangief portrait

http://blogs.capcomusa.com/blogs/digital.php/2007/06/08/p319#more319

the Producer Rey states that Akuma was intentionally beefed up.

His eyes are too small. I donā€™t get it. That isnā€™t the fierce looking Zangief weā€™ve known for so many years. I dread to see characters with plastic facial expressions, namely Chun and Cammy. Iā€™ve always hated that about the comics.

Word.

for a more serious look the mouth should be close.

this isnā€™t a very good job. but hereā€™s Zangief with bigger eyes and a close mouth.

Felineki:

Drat. I forgot to write the name for Feliciaā€™s c.MP down. Iā€™ll try and remember this evening.

vasili:

Already got the AASF3 Fighting Bible in an auction. The DC guide is proving to be a bit of a pain though. Somebody outbid me on one auction, and now Iā€™m forced into another, more expensive one. Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™m willing to pay for a book whose info I just need to cross-check with what I already have. :confused:

I have a request: To anyone who has the SF Zero 3 Official Fighting Guide for PSX (or any SFZero3 book that displays all the normals for all the home characters), could someone please scan for me the entries dealing with M.Bison/Balrog (Boxer), Fei Long, Dee Jay and T.Hawk? Guile too, though I hear the official guide doesnā€™t have them. Or if thatā€™s too much (since I know thereā€™s no frame data in that book), just the pages that list their normals? Iā€™m kinda broke and itā€™s a bit much to shell out for a book that has maybe 3 pages of info that I need. Thanksā€¦
