Topic: Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection

@Lroy 4 of the included game have online including Third Strike.

Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting
Super Street Fighter II: Turbo
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Street Fighter III: Third Strike

The last one I played heavily was Alpha 2 on the Saturn. I had IV on my laptop when I was going through my short lived Steam phase but I never played it much. I loved Alpha 2 so really looking forward to finally playing 3 as well as Third Strike.

@OorWullie Ah cool, I'd forgotten what games in the collection had online. If memory serves, I've played HYPER, TURBO and maybe ALPHA 1 on arcade cabinets and SNES. Then considerably less experience with THIRD STRIKE. Really looking forward to playing that entry come the end of May 👊

Has anyone played Ultra Steet Fighter 2 in portable form with the joycons? If so how does using the buttons work instead of using a d-pad?

I'm looking for a controller option to play the collection and there's plenty of separate options for docked (Pro, 3rd party, wired, fightstick etc) but not many for portable play. What is everyone planning on using for docked or portable play?

@CaPPa I think this one will fit the spot:

unfortunately it's landing on July 31st... so we'll have to wait and play with analog/awkward so-called joycon d-pad till then

@CaPPa As a non pad player the joycons work about as well as a dpad for me. So I don't get the gripe personally. I'll be using my HRAP but I'm thinking about making a smaller portable joystick using a procon. Perhaps later this year.

The price for pre-order on Amazon UK seems to have jumped up to £44.99 ?! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Street-Fighter-Anniversary-Collectio...

Bugger! I'm sure this was listed at £34.99 and perhaps even £29.99 originally. Should've put my money down before now.

Try Chun Li with her 3rd Super Art = Tensei Ranka. Anti Air strike, Haiiyaaah !!!

Try Yun for his sudden attack, use his 2nd Super Art = Sourai Rengeki. Wooo !!

Lowest price was apparently £36.99

@wasilewski Thanks for the clarification. £29.99 on other formats. I'm waiting/hoping the price comes down. £34.99 is the max I'm willing to pay for this.

@Lroy if you download the camelcamelcamel plugin for your browser and set up an account on there they will email you once it becomes available at your desired price.

@wasilewski That's handy. I'll no doubt never bother to do it but thanks all the same ☺️

@Lroy

@Lroy did you check base.com?

https://www.base.com/buy/product/street-fighter-30th-annivers...

seems to be just a little higher than 33 pounds now

@RetroGamerAndrew Thanks mate. Not ordered from them before if memory serves. Gonna wait for now and see if Amazon UK reduce the price closer to launch.

Now that Dark Souls is delayed, this just gives me more reason to grab the 40th Ann. collection.

Used to playing Dudley and Q on 3rd Strike.

Was that Amazon UK?

@SwitchForce yes. I chatted to them yesterday and essentially they told me, in generic cut and paste answers, there is nothing they can do.

I will keep checking as the prohibited status is bound to be lifted on it soon enough.

@Lroy For me, Base has been better than Amazon, well amazon Uk at least for the past year and a half or so.
They don't ship immediately, but the games arrive quicker nonetheless and their prices are nearly always better for the games I'm looking to buy.

@meppi64 Ah ok. I'm gonna wait and see once we get into May. If BASE is my best option come launch then BASE it will be 👌

I suspect they are keeping it for the UK market first and when that is fulfilled they will give others purchase option at later date. I know on Amazon UK there were games I couldn't pre-order but later on when I checked I was able to make the order.
