SF2 stopped being normies favorite SF during FGC darkage and many didnt even notice HSF2 while A3 gets a lot of versions in the dark age era of fgc. HDremix was aftermath and did you that it was even supposed to be A3 hdremix instead of SF2 but they have a hard time. every SF normies love to mentioned A3 as the best SF in FGC darkage circa 2003-2006 another thing SF2 didnt get ported in GBC and PSP, while A3 has more variation during that era. that's why its FF7 because SF2 was dead to casual normies in that time edit yes SF2revival was in GBA but SF normies cared more with another A3 in GBA, or choose A3 over SF2R. plus HSF2 never made it to PSP another info did you there was a korean based A3 with slightly revised sprites and has online featured in 2003 LOL

I never said FF8 was something of a game phenoma or something pop cultural, FF8 protagonist Squall and Rinoa just made the standard of facial design compare to Cloud. There more Squall & Tifa Alike protagonist than Spiky blonde Cloud alike. yet FF7 is the popculture phenomena and i believe the SF2 equivalent of FF is no other than the japanese FF3 because it was the innovator of the whole FF series. FF1 and FF2 is more like SF1 while FF3 introduced the series of JRPG turn based staple like chocobos, summon, class/jobs, moogles? Correct me if im wrong with one or two with FF3 but the thing is FF3 pioneered MANY of FF series popular turn based rpg gameplay mechanics. FF3 revolutionize FF just like SF2 revolution FG genre. Yes SF2 is the most popular but during the 96-2006 era it was A3 that has more recent updates like Max, Upper and Double Upper it was A3 that was most mentioned and love by the SF normies community than SF2 in fact HSF2 wasnt popular to the SF normies community. FF normies love to mentioned FF7 as there favorite in 90- early 2k era thats why I used A3 as the equivalent. HDRemix was in was aftermath the dark age FGC. So the best comparison for me was A3 because it was the most mentioned like the best SF by normies like they like the gameplay because of diverse ism but in truth they have no real idea about the real indepth gameplay its all about V-ISM... lol. if you visit Capcom Unity/ BSS thats the common things people mentioned there in the FGC DARKAGES 2004-2008 I know @Darc_Requiem probably seen that.

From where is that chat? here is my hot take Alpha 3 is Capcom's FF7 haha because A3 is the most popular given retro SF title by many but it wasn't the most celebrated because of gameplay but rather than the content and character count which is why its a favorite mentioned. It's not better and it isn't the worst either in terms of an SF gameplay. lol FF7 didn't revolutionize the JRPG scene and it was just a pop culture phenomena. FF8 became the popular character template that every other character protagonist became like squall and rinoa's facial features that even tifa became more Rinoa in advent reiteration. While SF2 revolutionize FG games and also a pop culture phenomena, that it became the template of many 90s FGs from gameplay fundamentals and character base roster. it even create tons of clones just like Doom.

a world tour storymode would just like the generic morpg story structure as for general storymode? might be an attract bundle to a dlc season

@Dayaan

looks like gone with the days that they announce or release an aniversary Sf2 game

I feel the same way. like this is now a common trend in modern comic book fiction

at this point Evil version of Ryu and Ken doesnt make sense, edgelord are for mid twenties and teen characters. They already got Akuma. Evil Ryu is just fitting more of a flashback battle, like Nightmare Geese. Surely if his entirely absent in the Ken ARc he will be the focus of the SECOND ARC, connecting and setting up to promote the batch of DLC characters like Akuma and etc.

he maybe a story plot point for Ryu now, maybe the second part of the story is about Ryu and him

with all this build up, i really feel there is something wrong and bad could happen i just hope neither Sean or Ken would have a fate of being killed for the sake of NARRATIVE. we all know they are building up Ryu and Luke so much. I believe Mel sooner be in SF7 or 8 like building up with Li Fen. Mel is the main focus of the cover for some reason and including someone similar to Laura without Sean?

I have posted earlier that I am worried with Ken or either Sean fate that they maybe use as a major plot twist and gets killed but given a bigger role before being phaseout and retire their character since they are shotoclones. Since likely everything is now is a Ryu and Luke. retiring fighting game characters is okay but killing them was never a good thing in any FG compare to other gaming genre

he is in i think maybe in somepoint i have seen it somewhere

I was the first one to dig it and posted it in an english speaking site in SRK from it's early version as SF_OL before it was revamp as SF_Duel in SRK and was the first one also to notice and pointed it out that it really ripped off the UI of the game named persona UI when it revamp to SF_Duel, I really want to like it but the latter character and bosses where kinda out place with the theme and SF

Happy Birthday Man!
