Has anyone read that feature about the upcoming xbox live arcade Street Fighter II Hyper fighting? I'd like to know what you think of it, 'cause to me the guy who wrote that infamous thing doesn't know anything about fighting games, or their console ports for this matter..

It is true that there are many bad ports of classic fighting games. Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the N64 is a classic example (note I said "for the N64", the PSone and Saturn versions were awesome, highly acclaimed games), same is Garou: Mark of the Wolves for Dreamcast. But when you say stuff like the Hyper SFII port that came in the SF Anniversary Collection is a broken game you CLEARLY have NO IDEA what you're talking about. At least to me.

Capcom generally does a good job porting their fighting games for consoles. The SNES or Genesis Street Fighters weren't the best you could ask for but let's face it, back then consoles didn't have the power to put off current arcade games very well. For example, Street Fighter Alpha 3 for PSone plays quite well even though it has a poor framerate compared to the arcade original.

The guy even admits he's not very fond of fighting games. He should be writting articles about games he actually has some real knowledge about.

p.d. Here's the link for the article:
