Nope, undiluted and untouched. Evidently Sirlin's previous efforts weren't appreciated by the masses.

ARIS WAS RIGHT

which is a shame because he made the game better. I love the art style for the new 3s. Just a shame i'll have to learn one of the three.

It says so and I believe the PSN guys have got it but I haven't seen anything up for the 360 yet.

Edit: I PM's you the old forum boss as well.

Righto.

Some kind of update for the XBL version yestereve. Couldn't test actual matches because arrrgh my hand but Ranked matchmaking seemed more responsive - instant green NAT symbol and opponents (who I promptly ignored) within about 10-15 seconds. The disconn-reconnect trick still seemed to improve success rate. So yeah, we shall see.

I was in Canada then America then Canada again. The Canada Cup and Wednesday Night Fights were alluring but they aren't ready for my high levels of fighting game salt yet.

I thought we'd lost you from the games. Pez has banned Arcade Edition. Reckons he likes a go on Lili.

Did you go to Vancouver? I have rellies on the border.

Neutralfanboy's picture

Relatives on the border eh. The enigma that is Escape just keeps me guessing. I was in Ontario at the Falls and then passed through New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Visited Washington DC too.
I can understand the banning of AE. I'd support a banning of bad matchups more strongly though. I like the net curtain style that Lili sports on her wrists.

Been neglecting this because of Gears 3 because I can only concentrate on one competitive videogame at a time apparently.

Seen this is going cheap on Xbox Live today only - 600 points.

My question is - I already own the original Xbox Anniversary edition, and it works on a 360. Online play doesn't particularly bother me, so is it worth picking up the 360 version, or should I save £6?

It's a closer port of the arcade original with GGPO, that's all. The main offline temptation is that you can practise parrying in the training mode. Fireballs, Supers, whatever.

Record your dummy and loop it back:

I would be up for it if I didn't have to have dinner and then actually do some (prep) work for a meeting tomorrow meeting. Great stuff.

Today Rocko and I played on PS3 and the lag was depressing.

I was 2-0 on him though.
