Capcom seem to be on fire in regards to their PC ports. This looks as flawless as Resident Evil 5 does, even better that the game can even run on a 6600. You don't need anything to rock out the tournament, I could play this on the PC I gave to my mum.

Having been banging-out Marvel vs Capcom 2 lately, this review reminds me of how conflicting the gamestyles are, and I've come to miss the new Street Fighter's less combo/assist-spam/dash-and-speed and instead more thought-taxing and cautious approach. I definitely need to get this game again, yet I'm unsure whether I'll be hitting the 360 or PC version.

Game aside, really good review. Concise, detailed; good read.

Celes, maybe this will help you make up your mind.

Nice, thanks!
I don't care about the nude mods.
The lack of cross-platform play is unfortunate, but eh. There are plenty of people playing the PC version though.
Other benefits are higher resolutions and shaders.
Either version would do you well, though.

Hah! I was fighting Guile with Abel yesterday, and Abel's all 'that move, I recognize it', and Guile's all 'from whom? Where is he?' So I thought, "I didn't know Charlie was in this game.." But there ya go.

Personally I think $10 for a bunch of costumes is a major rip-off...I'm sticking to the mods, some of which are much better anyway.

Glad you liked it.

Yeah..I don't get that notion. No one ever gave money before for mod support -- it'd be more appropriate if Capcom asked for donations.
Mods ARE the support from the community end -- that's the point (i.e. supporting modding, people make mods, more people buy your game and future games cause of modding).

Yeah, I understand. I just feel buying the game is all the support I should be encouraged to give them, I guess. I mean, if the DLC was actually GOOD, sure..

Yeah, I checked out the price after -- $14.50 CAD. What the *bleep*. It's worse cause that's completely devaluing their own game; it's saying a bunch of stinkin' costumes are 1/3 as valuable as the game itself.

quote Celes Leonhart

I'm a complete sucker for completely aesthetic things . I love having different costumes and especially differen't characters as skins or even just loads of characters even if they're clones (Super Smash Bros). I don't know why, that's one of the biggest lures of Fighting Games for me -- I just love quantity. So I'll probably get them again regardless of price, haha.

This. In my fighting games, having a huge roster and unlocking characters is one of my biggest joys in fighting games.
