Are they going to do another Street Fighter Collection?

[Artimus Gigan]

Seriously, while the 15th anniversery collection was ok, I think they coulda done it better.

IIRC there are 14 Street fighter Games in Total, while we did get every single option from all the SFII on one set they could have expanded it like how the Dark Stalkers: Chaos Tower does. While you can select a character from the entire series you're also allowed to determine the version of the character and the version of the opponents as well. In the SFA collection the only CPU opponents you could face were all from the final incarnation of SFII and none of the previous.

Also there are 3 different versions of Street Fighter III. While I did enjoy the one in SFA I really wanted to see how the other versions played because they gave different endings to the characters in each version. Also Iwas dissapointed that the Instruction Manuel didn't give the backstories to the characters to SFIII, so I really had no idea who they were off the bat.

Not to mention there is the often overlooked Street fighter:The Movie game. Where as it pretty much did what mortal Kombat did and used FMV characters instead of the traditional style. They had people dressed up as all the SF characters, which did look sorta corny, but it was interesting on how some characters were depicted.

Also there was the lack of the original Street Fighter. I mean the game was pretty straight forward and simple, however I would have been interested to play it out of curiosity. They could have also included replicas of the original instruction manuals or scan in the instruction manuels similar to how Sonic Collection did.

Now there are also the EX games. Yeah these things have multiple versions to them as well and are incredibly simple to beat, but simply for completions sake and I woulda liked to see what the previous incarnations were like out of curiosity.

SO yeah capcom should really do another collection, since they're doing another Mega Man collection.

If they did another one, the most logical game selection would be Street Fighter Alpha 3^Zero, Street Fighter Remix, and Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie.

SFA3^0 would be the expanded version of Alpha 3 Upper, retaining the Upper-exclusive characters (Eagle, Maki, and Yun), while potentially adding some other Capcom fighting characters (Ingrid, Gen, Joe, Mike). Also, changing your -ism also changes your lifebar, ending, and such (Naturally, an X-ism goes for you SFII ending, an A-ism goes for your SFA, and V-ism goes for you SFA2 ending. SFA3 endings could be seen via "Final Battle" mode.)

Street Fighter Remix would be both the arcade port of the original Street Fighter, and a Remix mode which uses the graphics of SFA and the gameplay of SFII. If they did not bother to create new graphics of the other guys, modified SFA sprites would probably work.

And SFA: The Movie would just be that.

Any new Street Fighter Collection MUST have SFIII- Third Strike. It's the defining gameplay moment of the series, the pinnacle of over 10 years of work.

Um... the current Street Fighter Anniversary Collection has Street Fighter III- Third Strike. Capcom, and fans, would probably find it pointless to release the same game in two collections on the same console. They didn't do it in the collections on the PSone.

And BTW, you're thinking of Street Fighter Alpha 3 when you're talking about defining gameplay.

[NachoHat]

Nonsense. Third Strike >>>>>>> Alpha 3. From my experience, most SF fans see Third Strike as the best in the series as well.

Anyway, I'd like to see an Alpha collection, especially with Live support. Other than that, there's really not any other SF Collections that I'd really be too interested in.

That or they could make a new one with hi-res sprites.

No wait, that would require Capcom to make new sprites.

[MattThomasM2B]

They should've done it right the first time:

Street Fighter 1
Super Street Fighter 2
Street Fighter the movie
Street Fighter EX
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Street Fighter 3: Third Strike

That would've been a collection.

Yeah, no Alpha really hurt.

First off: Expecting Capcom to do ANY anniversary collection correctly or comprehensively is an exercise in futlity. The Mega Man collections are the exception, but their previous retro series, Capcom Generations, was maddeningly incomplete.

Gotta say, honestly I found Alpha 2 to be the pinnacle of the Alpha series. 3 had far too many characters, bland music and gameplay and seemed to be nothing more or less than the definitive revisions of Super SF 2 Turbo. Fine if all you wanted was more SF, not so good if you wanted things to go forward (which was what SF3 tried to do) But that's just my opinion.

I think there might be some milage in doing a re-mastered SF1 . . .after all, the backwards-looking Alpha reinvigorated the SF franchise after it collapsed under the weight of its 9th revision and became the basis for most of their post 1995 fighter output.

I don't know that it's possible or likely, as Capcom's all but rolled over and given up on SF and everything else lately. But hey, dreaming costs nothing.

Would it kill them to make Street Fighter IV instead of making all of those collections or SF Vs. All games?

[kiddiesunshine]

I would absolutely LOVE for Capcom to actually do a new Street Fighter and retire the 8 year old sprites. C'mon. Imagine how sexy they could make Morrigan look in hi-res. Does Capcom even care how their fighting games do anymore? After "Capcom Fighting Evolution", I would have to say no. I wish I wish I wish. That's all I can do.
I wish Capcom would join the rest of us in the 21st century and make a decent 3-D Street Fighter. The EX series characters felt stiff to me. It was like the whole anime feel was gone. Just picture a Street Fighter game with DOA-quality graphics. My dream has always been, since the new generation consoles arrived, to see classic games remade with updated, current technology.
I wish they would have made a REAL collection instead of that I see as more of a fusion of old and older. The first collections released on the Playstation years ago were more complete than Street Fighter Anniversary Collection. And what was the deal with giving us the edited American version of the animated movie?
Indeed, dreaming cost nothing.

I wonder. You bring up an interesting point.

I often wondered why people hated on SF3 so bad. Sure, maybe some of it had to do with the fact that the new characters weren't to people's tastes, but it was a real effort (in fact, probably more work than Capcom's put into anything in the last decade) to move the SF series ahead visually and gameplay-wise.

Maybe it wasn't far enough, maybe it was too far. No idea. I liked it, I know that, my only beef was they never put Sagat in, for continuity's sake.

I don't think a 3D version is the answer, and not just because EX was a Toshinden level debacle. SF's physics just don't work in 3D--fireballs mean little to nothing when you have an 8-way run available and can fairly easily dodge them. What's more, the rhythms of QCF + button just don't work as well when every other 3D game requires the deliberate tap-told-tap style of play.To get SF to conform to a 3D style would require changing it to such a degree it wouldn't be Street Fighter in anything but the most superficial sense.

I think SF IV would work as 2D but not in the arcades, since arcades are by and large irrelevant now. Perhaps as a lushly-animated game with tons of modes and extras (In the Soul Calibur style, y'unnerstand) it would find a niche on the home market (especially in the new era of online play--c'mon SF is made for it) but that would require a lot of work and promotion, and Capcom just doesn't do that kind of legwork anymore. See Marvel vs Capcom 2.
