I need help finding a very specific Street Fighter compilation game

[Zoltor]

First I would like to say I hate capcom so much(is there a reaons to have a billion games, more or less with the same title).

Well anyway I bought 3rd Strike on day 1(my 2nd favorite fighting game of all time), but later traded it in to get another game(money was tight), oh man what a mistake, because now I can't even find it(not even in the gamefaqs database).

It was for PS2, and had 2 games in 1, one was 3rd Strike, and the other was a older street fighter game(I think it might've been SF turbo, but I'm not 100% sure).

PS. Thank fucking god for wipedia, I think I found it(although I could've sworn the box art was different, although I'm probally remembering the main menu), and even through wikpedia, there's barely a foot-note on it.

I decided to go ahead and post this topic anyway, for people to discuss how retardedly confusing this series has become(title wise).

I suppose this is the game I was looking for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_Anniversary_Collection (just with it being the PS2 version)

[Dangerboy]

Street Fighter Collection is the correct name - it had SF2 Anniversary and SF3: Third Strike in it. The reason you're confused is that the pictured artwork is the European cover -(note the 16+ Age Marker).

You're looking for this cover: (PS2 and Xbox)

Second, Street Fighter is probably one of the easiest named brands to follow. There's only 5 series:

Street Fighter
Street Fighter 2 and expansions
Street Fighter 3 and expansions
Street Fighter Alpha and expansions
Street Fighter Vs Series

The Capcom Vs series is a separate entity.

You wanna talk confusing? Try Eidos - they love turning sub-titles into main titles multiple times over :

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain became...
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver became...
Soul Reaver 2...

There are still people asking for Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat 2 ^o^

[Jorpho]

Street Fighter
Street Fighter 2 and expansions
Street Fighter 3 and expansions
Street Fighter Alpha and expansions
Street Fighter Vs Series
Tsk tsk. You forgot Street Fighter EX. And Street Fighter 4.

Street Fighter Vs Series

The Capcom Vs series is a separate entity.I think pretty much everyone would put X-Men vs Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter into the same category as Marvel vs Capcom. The intro sequence for MvsC2 says as much.

EDIT: Oh, you meant Capcom vs SNK etc. Touche.

While there may be 5 series, try remembering wich is which lol.

Street Fighter 2(world warrior), Street Fighter 2(champion Addition or touny addition, whatever the hell it was called), a ton of complitation games, that evidently don't tell you what games are in it, on the box art.

Since I grew up playing the World woarrior, I know It's the original Street Fighter 2(but if I recall the champion addition is pretty much identical).

The main issue is all these series basically overlap/are pretty simular in name, and sometimes even gameplay(with only the Alpha series having a completely different feel, with the exception of 3rd Strike, which who knows where that fits in. I think It's the second game in a series, with the first one being called 2nd impact, atleast 3rd strike is very difining since It's the only game with a 3rd strike title/number, unlike the dozon 2, and 3s out there).

Really, they are just now getting to Street Fighter 4. They are releasing a Super Street Fighter 4, and what's next, Street Fighter 4 Alpha? It's getting real hard to remember what's what.

PS. On a side note, with all the awesome char capcom has, I really wish they would stop making new crappy char, and adding them into a new game, over puting in actual good char(This damn trend of theirs has been going on since the Street Fighter Apha Series, and I'm getting sick of seeing POS char in the game, while they leave out some of the best). It's ok if say a newer game has less char to select from, then an older one had, but geez put all the greats in there(I understand if there are 32 char, fine you need fillers, but if there's only 12 or so, all the char should be top notch, well known char that people would actually want to use).

Frankly I think the Super Street fighter series is rather pointless now, it made sense back in the day(Street Fighter 2 didn't have supers), but now It's just an excuse to remake a game, with a few added char, how about just give us the few extra char the first(or allow us to get expansions via DLC, It's pretty dumb to remake/reproduce basically the same game for a few new char.

[c0ldb33r]

what about Street Fighter the Movie? is there an "others" category?

[SegaAges]

what about Street Fighter the Movie? is there an "others" category?

Does that mean we should also bring up the completely out of place music video when you beat the game?

Yes, it is a music video for the movie, but is very out of place at the end of the game.

[shopkins]

There was never a "Super Street Fighter" series. Super is just a modifier they use to tell you that one of the games has been suped up.

[Jorpho]

It's silly. Be thankful or upset Capcom didn't release many fighting games lately...

These are the proper SF games, the CVS vs series is definitely not in the same category as the Capcom "VS" series of games with comic book and Tatsunoko characters.

X-Men Children of the Atom

X-Men VS Street FIghter
Marvel VS Street Fighter
Marvel VS Capcom
Marvel VS Capcom 2

Thanks for posting that, It's such a mess on the Wikpedia to shift through.

People see, you can't tell me that bull shit Isn't confusing, and on to of that, you have to deal with just as many ports(some of which are jp only), and compilatation discs that don't say what games are in it on the box art.

I don't see why not, really. It's not like there's any real canon or connection between the games, so why not group them all together? Just because CvS is a bit more "serious" and doesn't have hyper jumping? Hell, I'd argue that Capcom Fighting Jam might as well be part of the Vs. series too.

Also, don't forget Super Gem Fighter and Super Puzzle Fighter.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Also not the difference between Capcom vs SNK (SF style) and SNK vs Capcom (KoF style, I lubs). :)

[shopkins]

There's also a Japan-only game based on the Street Fighter II anime for Saturn and Playstation called Street Fighter II Movie. It's mostly FMV, but it actually has a fighting section so I guess it counts.

Those aren't proper Street Fighter games.

CVS basically has Street Fighter elements and essentially IS Street Fighter. The Tatusnoko/Marvel games are easy moves, chain combos flying all over the place a bit more casual with a completely different engine. The other games fall along the lines of the game engine related to Street FIghter.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Looks like a game based off the Street Fighter 2 Turbo engine...interesting.

[Jorpho]

If you're going to be picky, there's also Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival (GBA).

[shopkins]

It's surprisingly hard to find good links on Street Fighter II Movie. My Google was not up to snuff, but I found this.

http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Street_Fighter_II:_The_Animated_Movie#Related_medi a


Capcom released an interactive movie game based on the film simply titled Street Fighter II Movie for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in 1995. The game involves the player taking the role of Shadowlaw's "monitor cyborgs", who would simply observe the events of the movie to collect move data from fighters. The game's fight sequences features an interface similar to Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Cyborg's Special Moves includes the Hadōken, the Shoryūken and the Tatsumaki Senpū Kyaku, as well as Ken's Super Combo from Super Turbo, the Shoryū Reppa.

And this, although it doesn't show the fighting segment:

Oh, yeah, if you want to be super picky about your Street Fighter list you'd also have to include Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight for NES.

Wow, Zoltor got banned...

I'm not normally one to celebrate that kind of thing, but I'm just gonna open another microbeer in honor of the mod that swung the hammer. Here's to you, good sir or madam.

The CVS series is missing a bunch of the stuff that makes the 'Marvel-ish' Vs. games what they are. Magic series chains, assists, super jumps and air dashing, etc. etc. etc. CVS 1 and 2 play much closer to a traditional Street Fighter (or KoF) game in my opinion.

Christ there are a lot of Street Fighter games. Despite the XII on the latest King of Fighters, that series is actually less promiscuous.
