Hello.

This is the first release of my project, It´s on BETA phase, I hope you like it.

I took materials of these authors:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

Pictures:

Intro, logo:



Character Select Screen:





Versus Screen:





Winner Screen:







Ending:



A stage edit by me, a variation of Dark Saviour stage for Fei Long:



Using Mugenhook: To choose Ryu and Chunli on SFA style just press Start twice over them on character selection:





Other details:

* Eight battles to the end ---> the game It´s not encrypted, you can change the values if you want.
* 24 stages

I´m sharing the images that I edited, Versus and Winner portraits:





For next releases I want to changes a lot of things: Effects, add more palettes, maybe more variations for other characters, SFA stye, use Reshade for effects, make improvements on the lifebar, maybe I´ll use Add004 for that and more.

I don´t have much experience on POTS style characters, as some of you know my favorites characters are in CVS2 style, Warusaki´s template. If you know another versions of these characters or recent versions,please let me know. Another thing are the palettes, the color separation is amazing but...a nightmare, too. If you know or have packs of palettes for these characters, please, let me know.

This is the first release, I know that are a lot that is missing, but for a BETA I think that is okay. Maybe you want to make your own version of SF2, feel free to use the images that I edited, I hope you like and enjoy this project:

OMG is like no one cared to even look at this great fan game that charle put together...

My FeedBack.
As a fan of Street Fighter 2, I have to respect that you took the time to make this look really decent and also very close to the original Game Boy Advance for Super Street Fighter 2 remake. I have to say that you should have taken a different approach. I mean, we already have Capcom versus SNK's pop styles, and believe it or not, that's okay, but we have enough of that. I wish you could have used a different approach by adding different hyper moves and different things, and you know, we're already sick and tired of PoTS style. Would have been great had a different style of gameplay; it's time to move to a different approach and a different style of gameplay. You know, I was really hoping to see something new and different, but I just don't like the fact that you took the time to make a great screen pack for the game, and then you turn around and put pot-style characters in it. It just doesn't feel right. That's just my feedback on the matter.

My Opinion
To make it more interesting, it would be great if you could make the characters more like the Street Fighter II classic or the Street Fighter 2 version of the SNK; that would have been a great, perfect mix and a perfect match. This way it keeps everything balanced, so this way it feels more of a nostalgic style than juicing a Capcom versus SNK type style.  The whole purpose was when Nintendo and Capcom went ahead and teamed up to make Super Street Fighter 2 for the Game Boy Advance; they wanted to use illustrated art with their 2D style with the CPS-1 system style, but that's just something in my opinion; you should have gone with the SNK style of Street Fighter instead of the Capcom vs. SNK style.

MY FINAL THOUGH IN THE MATTER

On one hand, I took the time and played your game. I really enjoyed the visuals, especially the background of the select screen. I enjoyed the life bars being so nostalgic and yet close to the Gateway Advance. I also enjoyed the option screen; it's kind of similar to The King of Fighters 13 style of the option screen for the PlayStation 3.  And I really did enjoy the victory screen that you included. I also love the versus screen as well; everything else was really great also. Some of the stages that you chose were perfect because they were close to the Game Boy Advance version as well, and I thought that was a nice little cool twist.

but all in all, I believe that this game was worth the time of playing, and it's great for the emulator communities because they collect all kinds of Mugen and also games for their front end, for example, like Big Box with Lunch Box or Retro Fat Front End. So therefore, I really enjoy the game; I just have to nitpick a few things for what I think about the game in general, but other than that, it was worth my time, and it was worth playing.

Hello OldGamer.

First of all, thank you for your review, I mean it. About the characters, I chose POTS style because I found all the characters that I need in the same style. But maybe I can add an extra mode using Bats archives like I did in my other project. About characters, I don´t have much experience on that, but I´ll try to make some changes in the effects, maybe sparks, too. I want to add something similar to this during the Super effect:



I want to add the "X" instead of the character portrait in Orange/Red color.

I´ll search for characters again, you told me a good point, I´ll see want I found.

Once again, thank you for your words Oldgamer, I´m glad to know that you like this project.

Amazing job! I like how clean and simple it looks. It also seems to have potential to be widescreen.
I gave my copy an IKEMEN-Go engine. Runs smoothly.
Thank you for this!  :bjugoi:
