Those who have saved games for Street Fighter IV automatically unlock special colors 11 and 12 for all characters. Basically, they're ink filters like those seen in the PC version.

If you own the original costume DLC from Street Fighter IV, it carries over into Super. There's a new costume pack coming down the line though I'm not quite sure when. To be honest, I really can't stand the alternate costumes so I don't pay attention to them.

Dude, Ross, how could you not include the amazing Steve Purcell interview that Ludwig and I did while drunk?

Are you ashamed? :(

"Where to next, Jared?"

The Fight Club of the fighting scene. No joke :) Part two will blow your mind.

Aion: Tower of Eternity in the top five confirmed? ;)

Hey, McElroy. If you're going to use some of the awesome images I made while I was around, use them right! No border on this one!

It ruins the magical effect ;)

No, I didn't. We're talking series here. As a "series," Real Bout is the last of the 2D Fatal Fury's. Next came the NG64 titles, then Garou.

Obvious, because we're going to talk about RB2 next week.

Should I actually make it to EVO Finals (AHEM), I'll be playing some A2 in the console area :)

Yeah, moreso than Roll Cancelling, Valle CC changed every thing, which both helped and killed off the game. On one hand it drastically sped up the game but at the same time, yeah, turned it into a turtling paradise. Still, my only major gripe with A2 is how crappy Zangief feels.

A3 is barf for the reasons you mentioned.. It has MVC2 syndrome. A ton of characters but why bother using 90% of them?

Well recieved by the gaming media that is typically clueless when it comes to fighting games? Yes.

Well recieved by people who actually play fighting games? Not at all. Alpha 3 is rubbish that seemed to get worse every time Capcom touched it. Believe me, there are many, many, many reasons why we still play ST and 3S competitively and yet, never go back to A3.

So no, it's not to get a reaction.

Hi X3F crew. I'm invadin' yo turf!

Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360 already proved that there are tons of people willing to shell out $90 bucks for a music title. Now come back around and offer them a guitar, a drumset and an insane track listing for about $130 and watch no one flinch.

This is how I see it going.

PS2: GH3 sells more than RB on 360 and PS3 combined due to install base.
Wii: GH3 does well, but not as well as folks expect. It's a 3rd party title, after all.
X360: GH3 over RB at launch, but over the holiday RB crushes it.
PS3: RB over GH3 by a wide margin. This is PS3 owners first chance to own the series and a guitar (remember, PS2 guitars are incompatible) and when they're faced with the initial cost of both games, Rock Band is simply a much more appealing package.

Over time, however, Rock Band is practically guaranteed to topple Guitar Hero for reasons that will become clearer as we get closer to launch. OoOoOoh~ ;)
