    Legends should only grow in their retelling, and with 30th Anniversary Collection and Digital Eclipse's fine work Street Fighter has never stood taller. [Recommended]

    Finally got to spend some time with the game, I can confirm how it is a fantastic way to play the SF Alpha and SF3 games, which is greatFinally got to spend some time with the game, I can confirm how it is a fantastic way to play the SF Alpha and SF3 games, which is great because those are easily my favorite Street Fighter games and the main reason I bought this collection. The various versions they got of SF2 are faithful to the arcade, the only problem I have with them is how even on the easiest difficulty the computer seems to be very difficult, especially with Super SF2 Turbo which seems to be on some sort of insanity setting. The original game isn't great but it is nice how they included it. Overall the pre-Alpha games in this collection feel like they are just there for nostalgic purposes.

    Luckily SF Alphas and SF3 feel a lot more balanced... well until you face Gill the unbeatable boss in SF3 that is. I think Alpha 3 is probably the best game for trying to beat the arcade mode with. You can adjust the difficulty however you like and turbo speed for the games that support it before you start the games, and after you start a game you have a range of ways to customize the visuals. They did a good job of letting you setup the games how you like.

    The SF3 series is definitely my favorite though. The first SF3 has the best backgrounds of any Street Fighter game IMO, they are all beautifully detailed with a lot of animation and they change with every round. SF3 2'nd impact is probably my all time favorite Street Fighter game, it has the best music and sound out of all of them IMO and the backgrounds look really nice and some also change with the rounds, the fact that it has a lot more characters than the first SF3 gives it some more variety and there are notable additions to the gameplay. SF3 3'rd Strike is the favorite of competitive players, and probably the best game to play online. It has even more characters and even more improvements to the gameplay. I just didn't like the music nearly as much as the first two SF3 games is all, and it feels like it has the worst backgrounds out of all the SF3 games. Still a beautifully made game, just not quite as pleasing to listen to and look at as the earlier games in the series.

    Overall you can't go wrong with this collection if you have any interest in Street Fighter.    … Full Review »

    Bare bones arcade ports with input lag issues and poorly implemented practice mode.

    -12 games total (the largest SF collection ever).

    -4 of them have online capability and training mode: SF2 Hyper Fighting, Super SF2 Turbo,    -12 games total (the largest SF collection ever).

    -4 of them have online capability and training mode: SF2 Hyper Fighting, Super SF2 Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Street Fighter 3 Third Strike

    -Most of my online matches were great. I even fought someone from Europe from the United States, and it was pretty much perfect. HOWEVER, the ranked matches online don't have filters at the moment, so sometimes you can run into some laggy matches. Lobbies do show connection strength, though. I'd say about 80-85% of my matches so far were fine (PSA: DON'T USE WI-FI FOR ONLINE IN THIS OR ANY FIGHTING GAME, PLEASE! That helps you AND your opponents have better connections) Hopefully, they patch in some more filters (and Capcom is known to adjust SF games after release).

    -Museum has LOTS of cool artwork, historical SF info, character info (did you know Alex is a "NYC pizza connoisseur?), and a music player for all the legendary Street Fighter tunes.

    -Sprite viewer, so you can look at some of the games' beautiful animations in detail

    -SUPER DUPER fast loading times. You can bounce around, in and out of games in seconds. It feels blessed.

    -Button configuration isn't as intuitive as I'd like. By default, the touch pad is the "start button" for the games, not the options button. If you play on a stick that had no touch pad, you'll have to set the "start button" to a separate button. Kind of annoying, but you'll get used to it. Also, there are no PPP or KKK macros, since the games are supposed to be arcade perfect (there were no macros in the arcades!)

    -Has online fight request mode, so you can wait for online matches while playing through arcade mode, just like the old arcade days.

    I've been having a blast so far! Hopefully, they improve the online matchmaking options, as that's my main complaint.

    Put your virtual coin up to say that "I got next", and let's right like gentlemen and ladies (as Dudley so earnestly urges us!)    … Full Review »
