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.

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

 » 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 - 2006-08-02
 » 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 (Unregistered) - 2006-08-02
 » 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?

 » 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!

 » 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.

   by Slevinator (Unregistered) - 2006-08-02
 » 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.......
