Capcom Outlines Changes To Each Game In 'Fighting Collection 2'

Final M.Bison with that crazy Psycho Crusher??

Well a lot of these changes are very minor and doesn't affect the gameplay in any way so it's okay.

Do the games play well? Do the play mechanics work on console?
If so, then good.
That's all that matters.

Everything else is nitpicking. "Censorship." Please.

Note: EO-ism and GC-ism cannot be used.

I'm gonna miss spamming moves for fun using the GC's C-Stick.

@LadyCharlie If you are referring to how the Collection will make them feel, then if you've played the Capcom Fighting Collection, it will be just like that. If you're asking if any of the individual games feel good, all of these games are considered really good to classics. Except Fighting Evolution. No one like Fighting Evolution and is a total meme game in here lol

I actually saw the notes on Power Stone on their site, because I was wondering if they were using the same versions from the Power Stone collection on PSP. It's kind of a bummer that I have to buy an entire collection just to get powerstone.

@LadyCharlie -It gets revealed later that some of the more racy Midnight Bliss transformations were altered/removed, and Mae's thong has a few more pixels-

"SCREW CAPCOM FOR MAKING THESE GAEMZ 2 WOKE IM NOT BUYING NOW!!!!"

Meanwhile, I say that I'm not getting Pizza Tower because I don't want to support the creator

"JUST SHUT UP AND PLAY THE GAME NONE OF THAT STUFF HE SAID EVEN MATTERS CUZ IT WAS YEARS AGO"

@Poodlestargenerica Yeah, if the Powerstone games were available in their own standalone package, I would consider just getting that because I'm not going to realistically invest much time or effort into the other games. But this is the first shot I've had at Power Stone in a quarter century. Can't take this for granted.

@Anti-Matter I had love/hate feeling towards that Psycho Crusher, it's odd M. Bison had like 4 forms but Capcom always gave us the weaker versions as playable. I always wonder why I could never perform that huge Psycho Crusher that could take out 75% of health from the opponent and later down the road I finally know why.

@Poodlestargenerica You're disappointed that you got the Power Stone games with other games? You're getting the best value and you don't like it? I doubt the Power Stone games would had sell any better if they were released separately. You had to ask yourself why there was never a Power Stone 3 even after the Dreamcast and PSP releases. Main reason, they don't sell very well which is why now Capcom had to bundle them with their other more successful arcade titles.

Censorship bleh! Should’ve just kept the original art and stage layouts! No one is gonna be offended by some boobs!

Oooh never played the arcade version of cvs2. Looking forward to that.

Since the xbox version is confirmed for next year I cancelled the PS4 version. Will get the switch version at launch and xbox when it comes out next year.

You know...I was just thinking how I wish this collection had Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold. I know it was a very small update, but considering it added Cammy, I will take it.

I hate the censoring, but im still excited to get this collection.

Has Capcom been cozying up to the Taliban or something, because the customers aren't the ones demanding "visual changes".

Capcom should gave us the option to turn off the visual change, I just want to play the game I remember played in the original console without change 😕

Removing boobs should be considered a crime

I wish Capcom wouldn't always forget about the Street Fighter EX games in these collections

@wiiware
Yeah, I thought Bayonetta 3 handled it perfectly, a shame that some devs would just rather not give players options.

@Clyde_Radcliffe AFAIK, those games might be a little more complicated as those games were made by Arika and feature characters created by them so it would require both parties agreeing on terms. That said, they've worked with Marvel and SNK for these collections so who knows !

Haha no way it's the gamecube version rising from the dead! Awesome. No EO and GCism is not a big deal, those were the troll modes. I'm just happy that it's the gamecube version, I even bought an snes like controller for that one back in the day!

I still have a few of the original Japanese release versions of these games on Saturn and Dreamcast, be good to have them all on Switch.

@Gamer83 I forgot about bayo 3, yeah that game handle it so perfectly that I hope every other games has option like that.

@Fighting_Game_Loser I have no earthly idea why Capcom thought Fighting Evolution was needed in this compilation 😅

Speaking of fighting compilations when are they gonna do mortal kombat? There hasn't been one outside of the arcade collection that came out on PSN forever ago and that only includes the first 3 games. It's about time a compilation of more than the classic trilogy existed. Most of the other mainline games are pretty good too.

This is shaping up to be an excellent collection still play most of these on my Dreamcast project justice is just crazy bonkers but at the same time amazing and the power stone games are outstanding well done capcom (for once) 😂

@LadyCharlie If all you want is functions, not character expression, that's all you care about like the MvCI PR, then why are you even making a fuss about how others feel? It's their money, and I ain't rich.

People play these crossovers for the characters first. As such, they want the characters to remain intact and faithful. Is that too much to ask to keep what was already made?

People are obligated to not buy what is essentially a museum complication if they see the original works being tampered with.

@Clyde_Radcliffe To be fair that is 3D. And may have copyright infringement in it's characters

@JohnnyMind I mean, sure, but at what point is giving the publisher your money over an vandalized product gonna help them learn their lesson? And by extension, giving yourself an inferior expression?

It's just better to support publishers and developers who are honest with the original creative intent.

Translations for the removal notes:

Removing the rising sun.

No removals

Removing Jojo references

Removing the rising sun

Rouge is less nude in her ending

Covered up some boobs, character creation removed for memory limitations.

Rude gestures removed. Dinosaur Fetus's removed from Ghost of Bilstein stage.

I’m planning to get this just for Powerstone. The changes don’t concern me, they seem pretty minor. They do seem weird and unnecessary though. What is the theory here? A game explicitly themed around beating the crap out of each other needs to be desexed just a tiny bit, or else impressionable players will have the wrong kinds of thoughts about women? If players are that impressionable how are they supposed to interpret all that fighting? Eh, whatever.

Consider that the censorship here might not be to avoid offending people, but rather to ensure they achieve a desirable ESRB/PEGI rating.

@Zeebor15 Is it sad that i misread that as Rogue and not Rouge?

@Edu23XWiiU
Doesn’t sound like that’s the case at all.

They aren't even censoring anything apart from power stone they're literally just removing the JoJo references

@Pak-Man
The games were already rated years ago. They shouldn’t have to go through ratings again just because some people who aren’t even going to buy it may get offended. And may is the keyword “may” be offended.

@27celsius
They are removing several of Demitris midnight bliss attacks and hiding boobs and covering more risqué outfits.

Possible things that will get changed.

@GameOtaku Yeah, and demitri's transformations have some references to stuff like JoJos

The darkstalkers games got off scot free so it would be kinda changing them here if it weren't stuff like copyright or ryu's transformation if you wanna go that far

@Pally356 no, it's a pretty common mistake to make.

@27celsius
So? Plenty of references to other anime/manga in the MvC games as well and they didn’t get the chop.

@GameOtaku Rose just straight up transforms into Enyaba and Lisa Lisa.
Like it isn't even a reference Enyaba literally looks the same as in the manga.

@27celsius
Capcom made a jojo fighting game so it makes sense why she does (especially since I’ve heard Rose was based on the character)

@GameOtaku Yeah but they don't have the license anymore

@27celsius
Still shouldn’t be that big of an issue. It’s an homage just like the various other Easter eggs and references found in the game. Like all the giant mecha and Kamen rider references.

@GameOtaku they did delete my comment hahahaha. You were saying?

@Edu23XWiiU
No idea what the comment was. Do continue.

@GameOtaku Yeah but like it's still a character from an IP they don't have the license for anymore. They're gonna have to change it

Still feels a bit weird to me how they've skipped Rival Schools and Star Gladiator. Maybe in Volume 3 with the Street Fighter EXes...?

@Clyde_Radcliffe a Street Fighter X Fighting Layer EX Collection

@27celsius
They shouldn’t have to. It’s already been in there for years at this point. So you’re saying they should just have the move not work at all on her or just be a static image with no graphical change?

@GameOtaku Change the sprite?
After all they did say they were going to modify some of the transformations

@27celsius

• Removed some character transformations from Demitri's Midnight Bliss.

@Serpenterror except for Alpha 3 but for the better by using the japanese version of the game code. I wish it could have all the characters introduced in the gba and psp versions along with world tour mode but that might be a bridge too far for capcom.
