Street Fighter Alpha Anthology

got this game on Wednesday and it's awesome! it was great playing the original Street Fighter Alpha again. i play with the 15th Anniversary stick. has anyone else played with the stick and got comments on either the stick or the game?

I didn't like the build of the stick at all. The bat feels funny and the movements aren't as responsive as with other sticks. The buttons are also a complete mess. I prefer the Hori Real Arcade Pro, or the lesser US counterpart that got released in the Tekken 5 Ultimate Collectors Edition.

i was looking into getting the Tekken 5 Limited Edition the other day just for the joystick. is it really that much better than the SF 15th Anniversary?

The 15th Anv. stick doesn't feel right at all. I thought of trying to find a nice HORI stick, but for now, I'm doing alright on a cheap 15th Anv. pad controller (the ones with the holograms on it).

I'd love a Saturn PS2 pad, but I can't spare the $30~35 at the moment.

OFF TOPIC: Anyone used the DOA4 HORI 360 stick? I thought of having that for MAME games since 360 controllers run on Windows. Is it any good?

The collector edition Street Fighter pads work beautifully if you can find them.

I did much destruction with Karin while using one.

Also, Hyper Alpha 3 is weird.

true. i like how they did the SF3 parrying. i thought it was funny at first.

HORI's 360 Stick was the uber suck while playing with it, the movement response felt, a little too stiff for my likes. The buttons are okay, nothing wrong with them, it's just the stick that gives me problems during combo strings.

Also, Super Gem Fighter and S.F. Alpha 2 Gold is made of win.

Oh. Shit.

Combining my favorite two Street Fighters fighting system... I might have to pick it up, even if I already own all the Alpha games.

I got the game last week. I had been playing the Dreamcast version of SFA3 recently before that, oddly enough...

As for Alpha 3, I forgot how good Sakura is in that game. X_X I swear, I was going through the game easily, even in V-ISM!

and Super Gem Fighter is fucking amazing. Now that I actually know more Japanese the things these characters say crack me up.

And that's from her being toned down a little from Alpha 2. I think it was either in A2 or A2 Gold that she was almost god-like in. Maybe both.

It's the same build quality as the T5 Limited Edition stick. I think it plays well, the joytsick needs a few plays to break it in a little though. I thought the DOA4 controller was wireless though. . .?
