It depends on the port really, but in general, there are things that you can easily do in the arcade that cannot be done in consoles. 3rd Strike on the DC has issues with the timing in parries for example and in MOTW the sound lags. Buffering is sometimes different and inputs and hit boxes can be affected too. The PS2 ports of 3rd Strike and '03 are really good actually, they actually fix quite a few of the arcade bugs in the PS2 version of '03. But even the 3rd Strike PS2 p0rt has that extra Aegis hit that makes it different from the arcade.

The guys behind Evo are fucking stupid for using consoles in a fighting game tournament, arcade + Supergun is the way to go. Look at SBO, they have the freakin' arcade cabinet for the contestants.

but i dont think everyone plays and practices on true cainets though... But i do see why it would make a difference.

That's just not true, simply because the games are released in the arcades first and then in the consoles.

I learned a lot more 3rd Strike on the PS2, so I have not experienced the parry issue, might have to throw it in the old DC to check it out. As for the buffering, I have yet to play a port (at least any decent DC or PS2 port) that had buffering issues yet. Evo has most of there games on DC, I thought the DC was pretty damn faithful to its arcade counter parts.

But the arcade racing style is sooo much better. In my opinion at least. I don't like simulation racing.

I do Have Ridge Racer Type 4 and Ridge Racer 5.
I played the HELL out of Type 4 but didn't play 5 much at all.

Post by **Ayanami** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 7:57 am

I really want to get Type 4. I am a fan of the Ridge Racer.

I finally went home and got the rest of my games.
So without further ado, my 1337 PS2 collection:

Guilty Gear XX
Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner
Final Fantasy X
Ico
Onimusha 3
Xenosaga Episode I
Xenosaga Episode II
Shinobi
Castlevania: LOI
KOF 00/01
Silent Hill 3
Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry 3
Kingdom Hearts
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
Gradius V
Rez
Viewtiful Joe
Disgaea
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Soul Calibur II
Capcom vs. SNK 2
Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga

Keep in mind that I've bought other games, but I just sell back those that I don't think are worthy of my collection, i.e. Bujingai and Phantom Brave. PB was awesome, but Disgaea should be enough until Makai Kindgom gets here.

You had that, how was it??

Post by **Femto** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 4:48 am

Lame. There were some great ideas in there (clashing was awesome), but the combat just falls flat on it's face. There are no combos at all, you're just going to mash the same attacks over and over.

Bottom line is, if you want a good action game, get Ninja Gaiden or DMC 3, Bujingai is average at best.

Forgot to put Karate Champ on my Fighters list. This is the first fighting game I ever played. I got it in 1990 for my NES.

Add another to my PS1 list. I picked up a sealed copy of Castlevania: Symphony of The Night today, at Blockbuster of all places. I know a video game store around that is selling sealed copies for $30. How much did I pay? $25? No. $20? Nope. $15? No way! Free? No, I wasn't that lucky, back up a bit. $6.99? Bingo. Sealed, never been touched by other grubby human hands, out the wrapping goodness.

Good stuff Tempest, but it is greatest hits right??

Shit, what you don't know is that SoTN GH is not that rare here. Hell my friend that owns a video game store, he has about 10 sealed copies of SoTN.

Post by **Malvado** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 9:27 pm

Can't even find a GH version of SotN in maryland worth shit. Got mine at Sam's club for 11 or 9 dollars.

Post by **Ayanami** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 9:30 pm

At least you got the game right?

I don't know about you guys, but any thing for the Saturn is hard as shit to find around here. I have eBay every thing.

Post by **halfnhalf** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 10:17 pm

omg here in socal, if you arent mainstream gamer then you're not a gamer. Like all halo2 lovin and stuff. You say anything from thr saturn/ psone era, people just make weird faces...

Was at gamestop just hoping that someone sold their SoTN back to the story.. so i ask the guy and he was all like " why get a game thats old and in 2d... ??" man i dont even count as a old time gamer... im only 18!!! lol but still all this old games got something that these new games just cant quite get it.

Man i soooo need to fix my genesis, god i had some good times on that thing... 8 hours straight on sonic 2, the nostiglia

Ok, when he says that, bitch smack him across the face. Just because something is "old" and 2D doesn't make it bad. I could sit down with my SNES and play Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 3 (6), and Breath of Fire II for the rest of my days. SoTN is by FAR the best Castlevania EVAR. And I am even a fan of Lament of Innocence. As we can see by the original 3-D Castlevania for N64, and the 3-D version of Street Fighter, 3-D doesn't neccessarily mean better.
