He's seen in an ad in some Japanese magazine.

We've seen pics of Barret and Vincent in the movie.

Uh, what? Crips didn't believe Show. Show kept showing footage and getting the event staff guy to testify but Crips didn't buy it and just made the match against Rock at NWO. Vince wasn't even around.

Another weird thing is that speed select is seperate from mode select. So if you select Turbo speed, even the WW or CE characters will be uber fast.

Character balance is messed up, but so what? It's just like a special anniversary game anyway. What sucks is that the CPU is ALWAYS the Super Turbo versions. The annoucer is the Super guy. The Gamest DVD in the Limited Edition package is cool. It has some bizarre oddities, like people beating the game with only one move and some guy playing Final Fight.

Hyper SF II is pretty fun. The arrange soundtrack is awesome. It's not the one from the PC version, but it's almost as good. Playing as the World Warrior characters is funny. They're so powerful. Combos take off insane ammounts of life and the infamous re-dizzying is back. I just did one with Guile(jumping FP, FP, sonic boom). There's a lot of cool little details with the presentation. Like when you play an old version of a character their old school picture is used.

I think Ashe looks cool. I like her outfit.

Weak reporting by IGN here. It is NOT confirmed. Their source is Amazon's UK site putting it up. Rockstar has said nothing about it. There is no confirmation or anything. Very shoddy "journalism" by IGN, reminds me of a WWE newsboard.

In kayfabe is the idea that Mae is just always at the arena for every show? That seems to be the case..

Yeah, but you can't have WW, CE or HF versions against each other. In Hyper SF II you can do a code to play as the super versions from Super Turbo(they were not EXACTLY like the real Super versions from SSF2). You can also do a code to play as the arcade super turbo characters, which means you can do bugs like holding supers for Honda and Chun Li. That's pretty cool. Midway doesn't do a very good job of balancing and bug fixing in the MK games. Like MK Gold got a revision, but it's STILL really glitchy.

How about something new? I'd like to see a total reworking of SF1. Redraw and recreate everything in the game with modern graphics and gameplay. Not rehashing the Alpha sprites, a totally new graphic style but based on SF1. Not many have played the original, only Ryu and Ken were playable in it, and it's unplayably bad, so a remake would be fresh and a cool way of celebrating the anniversary. I don't think a new Alpha would be all that exciting. The games are already on like every system and Alpha 3 pretty much defeats the purpose of a compilation. A new update to SF III on PS2 would be cool though. Hyper SF II's gimmick of letting you play the old versions vs. each other isn't even new. It's in SF Collection 2, it just doesn't have the Super or Super Turbo versions.

I read about the voice thing. Also heard if you choose the earlier games it has the stuff in the background to break, like WW Ryu's stage has the Japanese signs. Plus it has 3 soundtracks. I wish it had more though or at least more anniversary games. How come Megaman gets a new game in each of it's sub series and two complitations and all SF gets is an update of Super Turbo?

I ordered both the other day. Should arrive tomorrow or Wednesday. I got the Limited Edition version of Hyper SF II. I'm pretty excited, even though Hyper SF II isn't all that new. Anyone played them yet? Or the arcade version of Chaos?

No , looked boring

I used Agrias, Orlandu and Worker 8 at the end. I tried out everyone and used Reis when she was a dragon, but went back to using a generic knight or summoner for the last spot.

I beat the game today. Awesome game. Really glad I gave it another chance. Hard, but I never wanted to give up because it was so good. Got easier and easier the more I played and when I got Orlandu the difficulty took a nosedive and became one of the easier RPGs I've played. He's so good I was never again in any danger of dying. I have never played a game with a story like that. The way it's told, all the treachery and betrayal, all the swerves and a very unique ending...all so cool.

GoldenEye. Trevelyan owns.

I thought the Angel bit was pretty cool.

Made a trip to the used game store yesterday. DOOM(Saturn) Ico(PS2) Crypt Killer(Saturn) Vampire Night(PS2)

Or... The FBI cost Benoit the Rumble and we get Albert/Angle/Benoit vs. FBI and Brock vs. Berg at WM.

So is the US title officially dead?

They're not going to keep themselves in check. It's crazy old man Vince, I'm sure he thinks his WWE movies thing is going to be huge and that everyone in the media will finally take him seriously. I don't understand how a businessman could be so incompetent. Like every one of his "integrated multimedia productions"(or whatever buzzword it is Linda loves to use) projects fail yet he just keeps on trying.

Remember Jerry Flynn's boiler room gimmick or whatever? What was that called?

When was the last time Crips was actually 100%?
