im really looking forward to some high grade virtua fighter! oh and the others too :D
Damn, no BrayBroo? That was the 2nd hypest game at SBO 2011 (after Super Turbo)
Tougeki is obsolete. The last 2 Capcom fighters have been console only. Has AE2012 even received the latest bug fix patch in arcades? Anyway after how our players were treated last year America shouldn't care anymore.
lol SBO is touchy one for the american crew hehe. Deffo looking forward to it. Decent competition.
#10 Obsolete? lol.
#17 Maybe SNK Playmore doesnt care enough, idk.
#20 Real talk.
Why on earth this may be the last year for Super Battle Opera?
