    I've been dreading the release of that movie on account of dodgy stills and posters I've seen for it, but that trailer has complete converted me. Really excellent looking. Though I still hate the dude playing Scott.
    I loves me my Scott Pilgrim - also cant wait for that final volume.

    I didn't really spot that many, the SFA3 announcer and a character called Zappa were the only things that stood out. All the other stuff seems pretty vague to be specifically fighting game references...

    Ivys weapon makes an appearance and is wielded by Ann from arrested development. There's loads of No More Heroes in there.

    Yeah, I was thinking that might be an Ivy reference, but seemed a bit vague. Hope they make a "her?" joke somewhere in the movie. :pac:

    0:41 - Two people facing each other in profile stationary at half the screens distance with a big VS in the middle.

    Doesn't get more fighting game than that :)


    EDIT: Just noticed the little SID chip sound in that part too :)

    The flaming-sword versus lightning-sword is kind-of a Guilty Gear thing.

    Good catch, I didn't notice that.

    EDIT: Looking here I see no mention of Zappa so Ramza is probably right.

    This trailer actually makes the movie look kinda sucky, in my all-humbling opinion. The other one made it look okay.
