Its out tomorrow morning,well for the Xbox 360 anyway,for a mere 1200 MS points.(Not much when you consider some of the crap they charge for 800 points.) Do yourself a favour and download this game.

randomchild · 26-11-2008 1:13pm

Next friday, when I spinning piledriver the last of my essays for college, will be when I get to to play this. Any idea where to get a good arcade stick to save getting blisters on my thumbs?

EDIT:

Two of these bad boys might fit the bill, any comments?

Fingleberries · 26-11-2008 2:32pm

Got this today: It looks and sounds brilliant, but the blimmin' Xbox controller is a wreck the head for the Dragon Punch, and you can forget Kens Super Dragon Punch ... Unless you get it by Accident, that is.

I still love it, though. Well worth the money... I can't believe how much money I've spent on the Street Fighter II Franchise over the years!

franman · 26-11-2008 4:51pm

Ye bought it earlier. Still trying to get use to the dpad on the 360 controller. Might have to invest in a stick.

I do think that 1200 points was a bit much though! It should have been 800 max.

Seriously? I think 1200 is dirt cheap. I was expecting 1600. Consider SFII HF was 800 this is great value. Of course a hardcore SF fan such as myself would pay 100 Euro for this as would many others.

After all that there are no national leaderboards just international.

I just think if they had released it on time a few months ago it would have been 800 points. Wasnt it meant to be originally released last April?

Its not a bit much at all, all those sprites are drawn from scratch by udon, on top of that its got 2 modes, theve left the original integrity of sf2 for competition nerds and even added new one for us with new moves.

Heads-up to anyone who wants to be the best (THE BEEE--EST! NOTHING'S GONNA EVER KEEP YOU DOWN!) -- David Sirlin has released a whole sub-site for SFII:HDRemix:

God, I only bought SF2 HF on the wii there a few months back. I'm itching to pick this up now as well. It looks pretty sweet. Could lose alot of time to SF2 all over again!

Yeah, it was supposed to be released about the same time as Puzzle Fighter HD but it kept on getting delayed.

Placebo · 26-11-2008 9:09pm

just got it, i dunno hmmmmm, maybe im too used to sf3
also could be the absolute shame of a controller.

Shinji Ikari · 26-11-2008 10:08pm

GGS to the Witch....his cammy is sh*t hot.

Thanks Bushi.

Did you abuse QCF+P now that it comes out right?

wayne040576 · 27-11-2008 12:23am

Got it tonight. I'm really rusty at this game. Been having trouble connecting to online games. When I do a quick match or search it won't connect but if I host, I eventually get a player. Had 5 or 6 matches and in every one I was fighting Ken. And every match has gone to at least round 5. I think in the default mode you have to win by a gap of two rounds??

My gamer tag is wayne040576. I think I need a bit of practice to get back up to speed.

Lol, no of course not. I didn't need to. Used it when appropriate.

Jim · 27-11-2008 1:26am

Bought it earlier. Quit after 10 minutes. I've never played anything more frustrating in my life. What a god awful controller to play SF with. I knew it'd be bad, but not this bad.

I heard awhile ago they were releasing a special edition controller with improved dpad, but read a couple of reviews which said it was pretty much the same.

How infruiating and disapointing.

Xbox Dpad sucks allright but it does'nt render the game unplayable. Why invest in a Hori arcade stick from PlayAsia.com I got one and its perfect for this game.

0ubliette · 27-11-2008 9:45am

****ing conrtoller ruins this game, and using anyone other than Ken/Ryu is next to ****ing impossible. Waste of money. Pretty just HF with nicer graphics.

FutureGuy · 27-11-2008 10:42am

I'm having little no problems with the d-pad tbh.

Absolutely brilliant game with lots of people to play against. Had a very nice 18-1 streak going last night but then decided to get that achievement where you have to win with all 17 characters in a ranked match. Dhalsim was a tough one, but did it in the end. It's surprising how much you remember...haven't played with some of those characters in an age!

My only gripe is

Akuma

as the

secret

boss...ffs how are you supposed to deal with

standing fierce/shoryuken

that takes 90% of your life???

Witch, I saw that you beat him...any pointers?

You're better off to use the "create match" option. You'll get a game in 10-15 seconds 95% of the time.

Online games are "best of 5".

I'll add you for a few games

HF didn't have Supers!

Or rebalanced moves.
Or bug fixes.
Or proper netcode

BTW, hearing from the 2DF chatroom but does XBL have lots of quitters?
