This is why you shouldn't give Americans the rights to anything...sigh.

I'm both disgusted and intrigued at the same time.

So it's an action figure fighter. Well, that just makes it all fine then.

Think Ryu needs breasts?

It's like a train wreck, it's horrible but you can't stop gawking:

A helpful movie to illustrate how this whole mess is supposed to work:

The "original" (non-SF) chars look pretty cool though.

I'm just so confused about this. I really wonder who out there thought that this would be a good idea... I'm still oddly fascinated with the idea of trying it out there - in a sort of masochistic way.

The idea is cool. I've always wanted a fighting game with an innovative control scheme. So far nothing has really stood out, and I doubt this is going to be the answer to Guilty Gear Accent Core (Wii). What really doesn't make sense is how this is a game played entirely with the mouse. Obviously the mouse is awkward as a joystick due to the lack of tactile feedback and resistance, but to make a 2D fighting game that is played by the mouse that is where I draw the line. They should make Soul Calibur keyboard and mouse edition for the PC.

You know what I miss?

That ring thing for the Genesis that allowed you to stand in a circle and throw punches and kicks to replicate button presses. That was innovation.

Wasn't it called the Activator or something? I thought that it sucked hard, cause it couldn't actually replicate your moves. Instead it interpreted your flailing as a button press, therefore if sticking out your hand to your left was mapped to the C button for example, your guy would roundhouse kick in Street Fighter.

Yeah, it was pretty awful... I remember the advertisements for it in Gamepro in the 90's though, essentially saying that you would be getting the upper hand over your opponents due to the 'realism'. There were some videos on YouTube that I ran across a few months back that were people performing Weaponlord combo videos with that thing. It was pretty atrocious.
