Uh…it’s a horrible port. Why would you even recommend this?

  Why would you want to play an imperfect port of an extremely execution heavy game? That’s just moronic.
  
  How is me pointing out its a bad port being negative? Don’t waste your money on a bad port. Buy the PS2 Alpha Anthologys. It has arcade perfect ports of every alpha game.
  
  My comments aren’t negative. You just take them that way.

      How does stating facts about screwed up ports relate to his playskill? The ps1 ports of capcom fighting games are notoriously bad, stating that isn’t a bad thing…

      I don’t think it’s much of difference unless u are a fighting game superstar you won’t notice any difference. The PS1 version was the only version I ever played. And for only $6 I don’t have to move a bunch of crap to make room for my PS1 when I want to play some alpha3. People go on and on about how bad the XBox1 version of 3rd Strike is, but me, as an average gamer, can’t tell much difference in the xbox1 version and the 3SO for my PS3′s.

      Dude, for 6 bucks you can get the alpha anthology for PS2. All 3 alpha’s arcade perfect including Alpha 2 gold, Super Gem Fighter, and Hyper SFA. I think the PS2 Anthology is the better option regardless if you care for bad ports or not. Plus there’s tons of ways to add PS2 support to current sticks.

      It’s not because he stated something about an imperfect port. Look at all the posts he posts full of negativity on the front page, that’s why people are talking about blowing him up.
      
      It’s not even the front page, look at the majority of his forum posts. He has the kind of e-personality that attracts moths (and flames). It’d be sad if this was his real life persona.

      @JasinWalraven:disqus So you’re saying that you need to be a professional superstar FG player to notice differences in game ports, really? That’s like supporting fucking elitism. Not because people are GOOD at a game that they’ll ‘feel’ more shit than others, come on.
      
      Stop supporting elitism, you sound like you’re okay with having people belittle-ling you and shit.

      Danny AlvaradoDoes the six bucks come with a free playstation2? So for me to buy the ps2 version would mean picking up yet another old console to have lying around, or buy this and have it on my hard drive and not need to keep track of another disc and system

      Argument was lost as soon as skill level was brought in. Come on do you know how silly saying I’m better at computer games than you there for I am right and you are wrong. This is the only place where people think they are actually above someone becuase they are good at something. It’s embarassing, you might of actually had a point but you actually done what yu was complaining about as you was attacking not about the comment but in general. You you want to prove your better rise above it. I actually have learnt something though, I thought the ps2 version was exactly same as ps1, so it’s not all bad.

Dreamcast version is better

Duck Strong

It’s actually worse.

  how is it worse when the Dreamcast got nothing but arcade perfect ports, especially for the cross-over series.
  - Anonymous
    
    That’s because the hardware for the original CVS2 and MVC2 arcade cabinets was the Sega NAOMI.
    
    The Dreamcast is basically a home console version of the Sega NAOMI. The Dreamcast and the Sega NAOMI have pretty much the exact same hardware components underneath. This is why the Dreamcast versions of those games are so arcade perfect.
    
    The hardware for SF Alpha 3 arcade cabinets was Capcom’s CPS3 hardware which is very different than the PS1 and Dreamcast.

      The SFAlpha series including 3 was actually CPS2 hardware and I know because I put it in my Blast City cabinet.
      Although the MvC2 and CVS2 DC ports were good, I’ve been told by SaBrE (Who was legendary in SFA3) that the DC was the worst port, but the PSX wasn’t far behind. He mentioned that even the PS2 version in Alpha Anthology wasn’t arcade perfect, but was the best available for a console release.
      
      For $6 it’s worth some casual play between friends who want to reminisce. It’s not like tournament organizers are going to start adding it to their lineups.
    - http://www.facebook.com/FrankCastleAZ Frankcastleaz Azhp
      
      Officially, here’s what SaBrE had to say on the issue-
      
      “alpha anthology ports of all 3 games are excellent as long as you access the hidden dipswitch menu and load up one of the arcade rom rulesets.
      
      the problem with console versions was they did some balance chances, tweaked some engine rules, and a lot of things just didnt behave correctly.
      
      for instance, on all 3 console versions(ps1, saturn, dc), they nerfed the crap out of dhalsim. they made all his limb attacks at like half the speed. you can play console, then go play emulator and the difference is staggering. he turned into a crap character, since it changed everything, especially his combos in v-ism.
      
      shortened invincibility time on VC start up.
      
      dc suffered badly from having very small sprites. the problem here is the sprites are too small, so the playfield was very big. in other words, when both characters are on their respective side of the screen, all the way, theres more room in-between the characters, which resulted in a massive difference in spacing, which is a very big deal. it changes a lot of things.
      
      lots of vc’s combos behaved differently. Timing on a lot of things are so different. It’s just another game entirely.
      
      ps1 suffers all these problems minus the sprite size.
      
      saturn version is the best of the 3, but that version has a problem all its own, slowdown/frame skipping issues. which blows my mind cuz saturn handles these games no problem. lazy port i suppose.
      
      theres other problems on these ports, but i havent played these versions since like 2001, that its hard to remember. no decent console port of a3 back in the day led to its demise.
      
      the port is fun if you just fuckaround for fun, but for serious play, i wouldnt recommend it”

    Yeah, DC version is the “Saiykyo” version, which is essentially SFA3 upper.

The Dreamcast version isn’t good either.

Maybe with enough sales they might If enough people get 3SO to make it worth it I don’t see why not

It’s a PSOne Classic, it’s not going to be the arcade/dreamcast port or anything. No online, no balance changes… cause it’s just a PS1 classic! It’s literally just the PS1 game ported over so don’t everyone go get excited lol. SFA3 is such an interesting and fun game though!

Mikahl757

I understand this and this why I thought it wasn’t available as a classic as soon as SFA1 and A2 were. I assumed they were going to start an OE like they did with 3SOE. Hopefully the fans can unite and get Seth’s attention for a proper remake, I don’t need a classic version as I own all the versions still but this should let others enjoy that game that haven’t before. Why classic not even the double upper psp version?? SMH

  “Why not even the double upper PSP version?”
  
  Because that would cost more money to port from the PSP to the PSN (plus the technology was only recently announced) compared to a PS1 classic to PSN. I know, I would have loved the PSP revision too but I’m sure it would cost Capcom more and therefore they’d have to charge more.

    What technology? PS3 to PSP games have been ported for at least 2 years, that’s why PSP’s get registered to a PS3 to be able to port games from one another.

      … I meant like a playable port. Only now are we seeing PSP games becoming /playable/ on the PS3 via PSN/HDR collections (Peace Walker HD). Buying PSP games via PSN/moving them to a PS3 to free up space is much different.

I find this game much funner than SFIII:3SO. Order my ps3 yesterday and, cant wait.

Why are people complaining? PSN has been releasing PS1 classics for years, this is just another one on their long list. They aren’t trying to update it or anything that’s why it’s being released as PLAYSTATION 1 CLASSIC. Not the DC port Not the arcade port. Not the PSP port. Come on, guys, jeez.

With that said I’d still love an online mode somehow, haha.
