HAHA all good. I completely understand.

I personally can't part with old games. I used to sell them off when I was young, and looking back I regret every single sale. If only I could travel back in time and slap some sense into myself before I made such silly mistakes.

Anyone know if Capcom Classics Collection 2 ever saw a PAL release for Xbox?

My best google-fu has turned up nothing. Strange that it should get a PAL PS2 release but no PAL XBox release???

Not a fan of the series myself, but some update info on Soul Calibur IV is hitting the web:

Looks like the average bust size of the female participants has been upgraded too.

Interview with Mick McGinty, the man responsible for the "Americanified" Street Fighter artwork that we saw everywhere in the 90's:

I'm not a fan of his work at all, but it's interesting interview all the same. Typical "it was popular in Japan so Americans will hate it" BS that really wrecked a lot of good games in the USA at the time.

Evo West ST footage up on SRK.

Now I am not normally one to read blogs but there is a really good entry by sirlin on his thoughts of Evo West. Really interesting to read about character choices and those kind of aspects. Article Here.

Been a while between postings, just thought you console fans might be interested in the progress of my 'Rose' Stick.

What is the 'best' version of ST on PS2; HSF2:AE or Capcom Classics 2?

CCC2 is regarded as "damn near perfect". Dave Sirlin oversaw the port, and made sure he was very pedantic about a lot of things. Job well done, I say. If you're after ST on console, this is the best option.

AE is a totally different beast. Still fun, but not quite ST.

CS-Phr34k · 12th August 2007, 1:23 AM

OK thanks.

Great quote from the first Afrolegends vs Choi set. "Jumping fireballs is very risky but these guys can do it because they are good guessers. Don't play them at rock paper scissors, you will lose".

Watching the evo qualifiers is confusing. Do they just work out the top 8 from each region and all those qualify for evo worlds but those top 8 then continue to play off in their region to decide a regional winner?

EDIT: Oh never mind I was right, just heard it at the end of the videos.

Awesome to see Sirlin in at #4 with Vega(claw)/Honda/Bison(dic).

I'm getting tired of Dhalsim/Balrog(boxer) matches. While technically brilliant, they're boring to watch. Sirlin's choice above represent my 3 favourite ST characters for high-level play, and it's great to see them make it that far in a major tourney.
