Street Fighter 2


August 2 brings about one of the most anticipated games of the summer to hit Xbox Live Arcade Marketplace - Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting.

This Capcom old-school classic, goes back to its roots with a retro feel and, for the first time, multiplayer action that has both ranked and player matches. With the power of the Xbox 360, SFII also includes new content specifically designed for Xbox Live Arcade as well as HD video resolution, achievements, leaderboards that keep track of the overall and monthly best players using a point-based system, fully customizable controls and the all new innovative "Quarter Match" which allows online competitors to use a "virtual quarter" to buy into a heated 2-player match.

Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting will be available starting today, August 2 at 1am PST on Xbox Live Arcade.

» Not quite ...

"Now Available" does not quite match up with the "will be available starting today, August 2 at 1am PST"

» Wrong Title

Learn to think of proper titles. It is not available NOW. I want that 2 minutes of my life back I wasted looking for it.

» I hope its not lagtastic like the videos i have seen.....

I sure hope the online doesnt suck as bad as the videos I saw. I guess I will just have to smoke mad trees and stay up and try it for myself. Everyone has been waiting for this for so long! Please let it be ok! If it does suck lets raise hell and try to get our money back or demand an update or something.



The End

i hate this controller for fight games, is there a converter from other controllers thru the usb port

by MaDDaWg836 - 2006-08-01 22:18
» HARD

This game is so hard for me for some reason. the diffuculty is NO STAR and i cant get past round 4 in arcade mode =\. They need to lighten up or get a better controller. This shoddy controller does nothing for this type of game.

by doodaroonie - 2006-08-01 22:19
» Yes the controllers wonk

I hit the live button multiple times while playing on accident when going for the upper right on the d pad. its fairly good, a little better than i expected actually but i want a wireless arcade stick now



it froze on me once so far right when i was bout to high uppercut daslm in the face and win a match. i wonder if the guy quit or soemtihng, but w/e happend my xbox 360 hard froze, i had to power on and off. pretty wierd considering i had only played it for 10 min and got a freeze. I expect this might not be a big problem tho hope it doesnt happen again



how does the rating work? the higher the better? why not make the best #1? i won a game and my rating went up, wth?

by Jacob - 2006-08-01 23:16
» Woah...

I LOVE THIS game..they did an awesome job with it. you even have a quarter waiting if you are like waiting for one of your buddies to finish up. Good job Capcom!

by shadow - 2006-08-02 00:05
» what the hell are you lot moaning about?!

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME FOR AGES!!!



I love it, no lag, exactly what I wanted. The pad is pretty awesome with the game too, the d-pad is great! How can you lot complain over this?! Try and play Alpha 3 on the PSP/2 and then complain about controllers. The d-pad on those controllers suck for SF.

i played for 5 hours straight and i now im ranked 18th

by hadez - 2006-08-02 02:45
» no lag? yeah right

It suck big time, 1 second between the time i press the button and the punch comes out.

by shadow - 2006-08-02 05:31
» no lag

Your connection must suck then dude, mine is working fine.

by Slevinator - 2006-08-02 06:28
» This Rocks!!!!

Couldn't have asked for more, no lag, proper original street fighter II (the best). Finding it a bit difficult to recapture my old form from all those years ago though, it will come.......

by Anthony - 2006-08-02 06:29
» Dissappointed

I've been waiting for this xbox live arcade game "SINCE EVER SINCE" now that it's out it's so FREAKING HARD compared to when I used to play it on Sega Genesis and super nintendo. I got so desperate that I put the difficultly level to "NO STARS" and still haven't beat the game once with any character. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way after reading the forums on XBOX.com. I would think that this game would be as awesome as before especially since they took forever just to release it.

by CABBAGES - 2006-08-02 07:56
» cant connect

Only been able to connect to 3 games every other one it says unable to connect or somethin like that. The 3 games i did play had delay too. I must have tryed about 200 times but only connected 3 times :(

by underwhelmed - 2006-08-02 08:20
» You are a tool

Yay! $15 for a 15 year old game that I already have on my PC which I can play ONLINE...for the past 10 years...



I'm just joking...I didn't download the game. The 360 sucks. Ever hear of Vsync M$??

by joe - 2006-08-02 08:49
» $10, douchebag

Not $15.

by hadez - 2006-08-02 08:51
» you all suck!

What the hell is this! everybody like crying soo happy that SF2 comes out on 360!?



What a nice thing huh!? buy freaking 360 to play old game like this? umbelieavable! this just show how the other games suck.



800points in you asses!

by Lloyde Banks - 2006-08-02 09:07
» boo hiss boo

i thought this game was gona be like cool, but when i downloaded it it wasnt that good like it was hard and like the graphics werent that good, i thought the game was pretty crappy

by Ryu - 2006-08-02 10:47
» What is up with the difficulty?!

Dang this game is hard! It NEVER used to be this hard... I like street fighter a lot but when the computer is so perfect its not so fun. I thought I was good at streetfighter, and was suprized I couldnt easily beat the game on default. Its going to be quite the chore to beat and not very fun to beat. Looks like i will probably mostly play online mode.



Whats up with achievments? I beat a few people online and nothing, looks like they are making the achievments super dooper hard / impossible for mere mortals as well. WONK FREEKING MAD MAD



BTW my thumb hurts it has blisters. The xbox 360 controller Dpad sucks.



Also, the game completely froze my 360 once already.

by JCP - 2006-08-02 12:06
» I agree this game is unusually hard

I have been able to beat all the characters up until Ken, for some reason I cant defeat him twice in a row, and its made me very fustrated, and I also agree that I cant use the d-pad for this game and it feels odd using the joy stick. I kinda wish I hadnt bought it, I also put it on NO STARS simply to try and beat ken, but it was impossible. I dont know what they did but at least its good to know that its not me and who ever else experience this should also be glad to know that its not them, but its the GAME that has the problem.

by Vecha - 2006-08-02 19:56
» lag...

i get horrible lag on live...and can hardly find a match...on player match they reject me..and on quick match it says "time out"...i played 2 matches...one with some kid who quick right before it said "YOU WIN" after i kicked his ass...



then with another guy who said it has horrible lag for him too...



I can play Halo 2 fine...I can play all the other arcade games fine....

by hadez - 2006-08-02 21:53
» Capcom and M$ cash partnership!

capcom is used to fool everybody by producing 50 times the same games but with different bull*****!



they done it again and it matches perfect with M$



to wow: you just missed coz you just lost 800points but admit this game is horrible.



And YES it lags!
