Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection announced (PS4/XBO/PC/Switch, 12 Games, 40$, May 2018)

I wish they would rom hack all the characters into Alpha 3.
Versus mode was shown on the Capcom Fighters stream the other day.
You get a prompt after each match for whether you want to rematch or not and it pushes you back to the character select screen if you do.
The prompt uses the same GUI as the rest of the menu options, so it might look a bit jarring but otherwise it does the job. It didn't seem clunky or super slow or anything.
Training mode wasn't shown but I'd guess it works in a similar way.

I'd be fine with them just romhacking english and online into Zero 2 Alpha / Alpha 2 Gold and including it.
I'm going digital, then trying to get a physical copy on sale down the road.

The "Asia" region of CPS2 games were generally in English and Zero 2 Alpha was released there. There's videos of it on YouTube. It was dumped and supported in Mame around the same time the other versions of Alpha 2 were.
I'm probably repeating myself here but the arcade version doesn't have Cammy.
Oh, I didn't realize that? If there's already a version of SFZ2A in english then there really is no excuse.
Because they have. This is going to be the third time across three generations where I've bought 3rd Strike :/
The last time the Alpha games were released was the PS1 ports on the PS3 PS store.
This is the first time ever that we will get arcade perfect versions of Alpha 1 to 3.

Hey, if it works, it works. That said, I'm curious to see how they'll handle Training Mode.
For those who are super keen on the subject, here's a list of what was changed in Zero 2 Alpha aside from the extra characters.

It would be cool if they were to add some of the more niche games and variants as extras or unlockables but otherwise I'm not really fussed about missing out on something that only ever saw a limited release in certain markets.
I mean I'd rather they just go ham and include Rainbow and Koryu before worrying about Zero 2 Alpha.
Probably like this.

I've said this previously but you could get an ok experience for most people through a handful of Mame style cheats.
Set the lifebars + super meters to refill automatically and fix the timer at 99 seconds and boom, you got yourself a training mode.
Hitbox viewers are within the realm of possibility since people have made their own with Lua scripting on PC but otherwise I wouldn't count on much.
Is the reason that japan are getting the japanese versions or what's the cause of the delay?
They definitely have not. The last collection of this nature was Anniversary Collection on PS2 and Xbox, and that only included SF2 and 3.
wrong, the sf alpha anthology came after and is pretty much arcade perfect for the alpha games, even has sfz3 upper. problem is that it was ps2 only. would be nice to see it hit ps2 classics in some form.
Okay, didn't know about that collection, but still, PS2 era and didn't include nearly as many games as this collection
I would re-buy that game on PS4 if they released it. It had some fun cool stuff that's not really replicated in another package.
I don't remember it being touted as arcade-perfect though, but it's been a while.

It's a new rollback-based netcode that Digital Eclipse cooked up. That's basically all we know.
The PAL PS2 version didn't even include SF3!
Also I think it's really cool that NG and 2I are finally getting some time in the spotlight since the only home console port they ever got was to the Dreamcast.
Yes, I totally agree. I'm a big fan of New Gen and 2I and I'm incredibly excited to see these games finally on another console other than the Dreamcast. Extremely happy Capcom went the extra mile and added them!
Fifth time for me. Dreamcast, OG Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, and soon PS4. No regrets.
I'm not even a PC gamer (I've only really played Civ V) and i want to get this on Steam so that (in theory), I can keep playing it in the future without dragging out my crusty old PS4 or rebuying the 40th Anniversary Collection on PS6.
I was considering my Switch, but I think I'm going to go with the PS4 version. Hopefully that won't kill the UFSFII community on Switch though, that community is actually huge and I get to play with barely any lag with people from all around the world. Great netcode.
Apparently this is coming out next week now? What the hell.
Everything in the blog says May. Not sure what this tweet is on

For those waiting for the Switch pre-order it's finally available now. To be honest I don't ever remember this being available prior until now. Still if you want it day one and want the Prime Discount, well now's your chance.
Thanks! Just checked, and the Amazon notification ended up right in my spam inbox.
I have like an Anniversary collection I had for the PS2 around here somewhere. I really enjoyed that, and how pick up and play it was. Made me realize how much I liked Alpha 3.
I don't know how many times I put the disc in my PS2.
I'll definitely be getting this.

Keep in mind that the games in this collection are all the Arcade versions. If you enjoyed Alpha 3 because of the home console version specific content such as Dramatic Battle or World Tour Mode, these things did not exist in the Arcade release.
Still an excellent collection regardless.
Sorry if this has been asked but are some of these the home versions or are they all arcade versions? Gonna be bummed if SFA3 doesn't have World Tour mode :(
I have an Arcade machine already that has the SF games on it so I'm hoping for the home versions.

It's also not gonna have the console characters, so no Guile, Deejay, Fei Long, Evil Ryu, Shin Akuma, or T Hawk.
the fact that so many games full fighting games are in one package is honestly unheard of collection wise
