Oh my GAWD! I want this!

[psydswipe]

Let's see if I can manage to add an image...

But I already have SSF2THDR, SF3S, SSFIV (though I don't have AE) and SFxT (though not all of the costumes or the currently unreleased character DLC).... And I still kinda want to get it even if I find 150$ to be a bit too high.... They totally should add a fight stick to the bundle

That Street Fighter-themed Scion is sounding badass though, maybe I should get in the tournaments ... Yeah, not happening, pro fighting game players are just a bit too insane for me. I may be the best fighting game player in my group of friends, but I'm not getting anywhere against people who actually know what they're doing.

So want!  At times like this I wish I was still single, living with roommates and flush with disposable income.

I agree with some of the competitors. I used to play MK for money ... and didnt really lose much ... but once I started playing MK online, I lost almost every fight every time ... some people are freaks.

As far as this collector's edition, its a legit "collector's" edition. But I dont like SF like I do MK and the price is simply a bit more than I want to spend on anything atm. Although I wish they would have put a bit more effort into characters other than just Ryu. Chun Li is as well known as him and probably played as much too.

I wish that they had used Ken for the statue instead. I always thought that was more his move than Ken's. Also since it's for the anniversary I think they should have made something with the original 12 to pay tribute to them all.
