    Its nowhere near perfect online play continues the classic case of being bummed from losses or wins thanks to lag and being S.O.L. if players have no fellow Street Fighters to game with locally.

    People need to get over themselves. How is realeasing a game that fans ASKED FOR, TEN YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RELEASE milking it? Also,People need to get over themselves. How is realeasing a game that fans ASKED FOR, TEN YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RELEASE milking it? Also, they're just going to release another version of 3rd strike 6 months down the line? Proof you have no idea what you're talking about.

    Also, your **** megaman game was never getting made anyway. Deal with it.

Not only do people care about this game, it was released just one timeWow, people rating games 0 that they most likely haven't even played. Not only do people care about this game, it was released just one time almost a decade ago on previous consoles. If you wanted to play street fighter III online before this release, you were out of luck. Some people need to learn what milking actually is before they make a silly comment online. Also, there are about 3 times as many Mega Man games out there as there are Street Fighters, and less people cared about the Mega Man Legend series than any Street Fighter by far.… Full Review »
