how good or bad is it? I like the good old classics like street fighter 2, sf alpha, mortal kombat. ect

and i wanna by a game while still waiting for the upcomming ufc game..

It is very good. you can play it like you are playing the old SF2 games. But there is alot of new stuff...

The EX moves from SF3 (2nd impact & 3rd Strike version) are in there... Meaning you can use some of your SUPER meter to pull of slighty more powerful versions of regular moves by pressing 2 buttons instead of just one.

There is FOCUS ATTACK. It's the most advanced technique you can use in this game. You can do all sorts of crazy shit with it. Go see some of the youtube videos of people doing sequences like "Jump attack, crouching attack, Special Move, FOCUS ATTACK/CANCEL, Forward Dash, Special move/cancel into Ultra" etc etc.. There's tons of applications for the FOCUS ATTACK/CANCEL technique. Too many to go into on here!

There is only one SUPER per character instead of the 2+ each character had in the alpha games.

There is now an ULTRA combo. Which is basically a superior version of the characters SUPER move. There is a separate bar for this called the REVENGE meter. It fills up as you take damage.. So even if you are getting beat down real bad you still have a fighting chance. This is one of the new features I'm not too keen on. But it works well for people new to the series and the animations kick ass.

a good info man. thanks alot. i gonna buy it on monday i think.

people who buy videogames are...

Are what? if you aint got nothing to contribute to the thread dont post

ok, but i warn you that if you play too much, you wont have a brain at the age of 50.

Sorry dad.....

heres a fact, people who play fast paced games reactions improve a hell lot more, imagine 3 seconds more reaction time when some old granny has fell on the road, games can save lifes

but on the topic of street fighter, i've always wanted to be good at it, but i've sucked balls since i played it on snes, i'm a master with soul caliber however, and i'm good at mortal combat, i'd love a new mortal combat, imagine the gore on that game

People who plays videogames are just having fun. I allways plays. Not only on my tv. But when i'm out with my friends, my family, my dog, ect..

Enjoy life and have fun. That will keep you young.

However.. People who lock themself inside their room to play wow or something like that 24/7 are loosers and hopeless computer nerds IMO..

i totally agree with you, there are many levels of video gamers, most of us do have many consoles on here But we are not totally obsessed with it, things like virtual life and shit, thats just plain scary in my opinion, i know there are games that can grip you into thinking your in the game, but once you complete it you only go back to it ocasionally, these MMORPGS are crazy

What in the fuck are you talking about? I guess just sitting there staring at a tv watching movies is better for you then?

Like Cogglesz said, games can make you use and TRAIN your problem solving skills, your reflexes, and besides all that, it's just having fucking fun man.

I suppose you'd be the kind to think that violent games corrupt our minds and all that other shit.

Jack asssssssssssssssssss!

no, your brain wont be trained because what you see on the computer is not reality.
your brain will be trained on the digital world.
and i'm not saying this because everyone is, i just say this because if you think logical, you will know, that if you sit in front of the computer, and just push the buttons all day, is like you were doing nothing and you will look like this:




but if someone does something else in his life than playing games on computer, well, thats ok.

haha, no its the same, or worse.
but you know, there are a lot of things in this life beside computers and tv.
