Street Fighter III: Anniversary Collection or Online Edition

[CD AGES]

"Just wanted to let you know that the anniversary edition of Street Fighter has the worst 3rd Strike port.

"It's not bad, it just isn't tournament standard. There's a sliver of lag, according to some guys on a forum I frequent, and the 360 doesn't emulate it the best, thus it's not
remembered as a truly astounding port."

Actually Captainvans, before 3SOE, the PS2 version of 3S was the tounament standard (Evo as well as other major tounaments used the PS2 port for tournament competition) It's not arcade perfect but it's not the worst version by any stretch of the imagination. The DC version is the worst followed by the Xbox Version of Anniversary Collection. To be honest i'd suggest get both lol! I like physical copies of my games and 10 bucks is a sweet deal to boot

I honestly can't tell if you're contradicting my assertion or supporting it.

he is saying you are wrong...

Yeah, but he/she goes on to agree with my assertion that the oXbox version isn't the best available. Besides, don't they use the standalone version of PS2(JAP) Third Strike instead
of the one available on the anniversary collection?

[vlame]

well you didn't specify what disc you were bashing...

I thought that may've been obvious as Xbox was mentioned in the opening post. I kinda went on to mention how the 360 doesn't emulate it well even though it's supposed to be backward compatible. I mean, do you know many Playstations with the suffix 360?

Actually "space paranoids" (love the user name BTW) was probably talking about the purchase of the PS2 port of AC simply on account of the $10 price tag (Xbox port is no longer in print so commands higher price on amazon or anywhere for that matter) so there was no need to address original xbox emulation of the game on 360 hardware as that was not his intent I assume. Yes EVO uses the stand alone import of 3S on PS2 but its the same identicle game that is bundled on PS2 Anniversary Collection sans localized text and Urien bleeding to death when he loses on account of a time out (I have both 3S PS2 import and US AC on PS2 to verify that they are the same after many hours of playtime on both) I do agree with u that he should get 3S OE (as well as PS2 AC cuz I'm into physical copies of a game and the price is ubber cheap for a brand new game with not one but two SF titles to play with) but I disagree with u that 3S on AC is the worst port. It's a fact that the Dreamcast port is the worst (as its the least arcade perfect translation). Hope this clears it.

Well, it wasn't me who suggested it was the worst SF3TS port, only that it wasn't the best. Besides, I'm not going to confirm unless I find a documentable source, but I remember my local fighting game community ran tests on Anniversary Collection vs Standalone lag, and found there to be a frame in the difference in favour of the standalone. It's infinitesimal stuff, really.

Lol! Agreed i know that wasn't you that said its the worst port. Captainvans was the culprit, I even mentioned him on one of my comments
But to bring this topic forward, while puttin hours down enjoying awesome online matches, I'm a little dissapointed on some of the features that are missing or should have been in Online Edition. No independent volume control for SFX and Music (like on AC) No "unassign button" option on controller settings (I need no damn 3xP and 3xK buttons!) And if that ain't the worst, no console "Arrange" tracks! I want my unique 3rd round mix!!! Its the little things that matter

im sure if the fans complain, those small things will get fixed.
