Best PS2 Street Fighter game and arcade stick?

Post by ZeroAX »

So I got a friend who recently got obsessed with Street Fighter. He owns an old PC, which can't run Street Fighter 4, and doesn't have a modern console, but he has a PS2. Anyone know a good Street Fighter game for the PS2, and any good arcade sticks? Also, any good arcade sticks with a USB port as well? So he can use it with his PC in the future.

Get either SF Anniversary or SF Alpha Anthology

either way, you are pretty much set.

As for a stick...that's harder to answer. A good PS2 stick is going to set your friend back quite a bit.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Capcom Classics Collection Volume 1 also has the first three arcade versions of SFII.

Do any of these contain Street Fighter 3?

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection does, and the animated movie.

SF Anniversary collection only has 3rd Strike though. This is where the Dreamcast is a must.

So yeah..... Street Fighter Anniversary Collection hasn't been released in Europe on the PS2. It was only released on the Xbox......why Capcom? The PS2 is the best selling console of all time, specially in Europe where the Xbox and Cube got zero love.... so why not release the PS2 version here?

Any other suggestions? Or a way to play imports without a modchip?
