tbarrie Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 20 hours ago, tbarrie said: I had no idea Street Fighter EX existed. How many "Street Fighter" games were there between Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter 3? To answer my own question with what I could find through Googling, it seems there were eight. Four named "Street Fighter 2: Something Or Other", Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game, Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Street Fighter EX. That's smaller than expected. I honestly would have guessed at least a dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Mwrvel SuperHeroes vs. Street Fighter was released between SF III and SF IiI: 2nd Impact, irrc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Capcom was the original "This company can't count to 3" meme before that title went to Valve (although SF eventually got to 3, unlike Half-Life). Hell, we used to joke that we were going to get Alpha 3 before SF3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Then, Capcom gave the world SFIII and it was the best SF game, but everyone sort of glossed right over it and paid more attention to MvC and MvC 2 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) I have no idea if my experience was common, but I had kind of moved on from Street Fighter by the time SF3 actually came out. Can't recall if I ever even tried it. Edited May 20 by tbarrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assfax Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) I never saw a SFIII cabinet but Street Fighter Alpha series was everywhere. I didn't get to play SFIII until Dreamcast Double Impact. Edited May 21 by assfax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-acquires-hogwarts-legacy-port-studio-from-embracer-group I guess the MK11 and Hogwarts Legacy ports were good and popular enough that Nintendo decided they needed an in-house port-focused development team to bring more third-party ports over to the nu-Switch.

dragonzombie Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 There's the Street Fighter II: The Interactive Movie game based on the Anime movie. It's not a fighting game, but you play as one of the Shadaloo's Cyborgs who is tasked with recording data about fighters around the world. Then at the end you fight Ryu in a fighting game match. The fighting gameplay is ripped from the Super Street Fighter II Turbo game. Sega Saturn version below in link https://youtu.be/Ze6liE_rXYE?si=evjXonwHT-Nbl0P0 You can unlock the battle mode for PS1 with code 3F47C0E310 89F94FC274.

I've spent more time watching and rewatching EVO Moment 37 involving SF3 than I ever have actually playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Microsoft is putting together a bid to buy Valve, reportedly in the $16B range. We should give the FTC's antitrust division nukes.
