I have the Echelon rip of SSF2X but it is garbage because at the character select screen it has the names all messed up for the four at the far right. Like for Vega it says Balrog, Bison says Vega, etc. I have tried downloading and burning different copies of the echelon rip and have had the same thing happen every time. Really surprised to never hear about it elsewhere.
I would like to have that game as I have heard, as you said, that it is the best version. I just havent gotten around to dropping the cash for the import game and Jap Dreamcast.
Were you saying you could rip the Saturn version or the DC version? A perfect copy of either would be greatly appreciated.
This game has given me so much trouble...
Wow... Ok little history lesson is in order. The reason why the names are switched is because Capcom had problems with the localization, namely M.Bison the boxer and his resemblance to Mike Tyson.
Taken from Wiki:
The single player tournament mode also features four CPU-controlled opponents, known as the "Four Devas", whom the player faces after defeating the other main characters. The bosses in the game:
* Balrog (M.Bison in the Japanese version), an American boxer.
* Vega (Balrog in the Japanese version), a Spanish cage fighter who uses a unique style of ninjutsu.
* Sagat, a one-eyed Muay Thai master and the final boss in the original Street Fighter, who was scarred by Ryu in the end of the previous tournament.
* M. Bison (Vega in Japan), a mysterious military commander who uses an evil power known as "Psycho Power".
The American boxer was named M. Bison in Japan (with the "M" being an initial for "Mike"), since he was designed as a pastiche of real-life boxer Mike Tyson. When Street Fighter II was localized for the international market, the names of the bosses were rotated, fearing that the character who originally bore the name "M. Bison" was a legal liability, due to his resemblance Mike Tyson to the point of copyright infringement.
Your copy is not corrupt, it sounds like it works just fine. If you prefer the American version, which the only port to my knowledge that is as good as Super Street Fighter II X is Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, which is for both the XBox 360 and Playstation 3 on their respective online services. The next best port would be Super Street Fighter II Turbo on the Street Fighter Collection 2nd disc for Sega Saturn. You can find this anywhere online these days, just use Google or Yahoo!.
