    It's a bit too western for my tastes. I notice Capcom were trying to link it to SF 1 with the brick wall,and tried to make a big deal over the four new characters,unsurprisingly.

    I think the best box art so far is SF III;Double Impact on the Dreamcast. I like the way it just displays the logo with subtle character portrait sketches in the background,simple but effective. SSFIIT on the 3DO looks nice too,as does Samurai Shodown. I hate box art that' too in your face,over populated with images and garish.

    yeah I have the super SF2 mega drive cartridge and it just shows the top part, ie the title breaking through the wall in it. And I had that image when thinking of SSF4 thus disappointed in the more generic copy and paste character portraits that we have.


    For SF4 I really liked the chun li cover.
