PROS
-The netcode runs very smoothly for me at least. Lots of people have been complaining about it, I don't see what they're on about. It could be regional issues or bad connections?
-The ports run flawlessly. These points combined make for easy online that's a lot of fun.
-The lobby system is fast and lets you jump between games easily, as compared to switching lobbies and waiting for the game to connect.
-Save states for playing arcade mode so you have more than one shot at taking down Bison in Alpha 3.
-Training mode without having to finagle emulation for the console versions.
-Included cheat codes, lots of old art, a music player, and other fun goodies.
CONS
-Only Hyper Fighting, Super Turbo, Alpha 3, and Third Strike have online and training mode. I'm mostly in it for Alpha 3 and Third Strike anyway so it doesn't bother me much, but it is a shame that we can't play the other games online as well.
-The PC settings are pretty weak; no resolution settings if you're in windowed mode, the game is too quiet with no volume control, and no setting up button macros so stuff like EX moves and Alpha 3 throws can get annoying if you're playing on pad.
-No added stuff from later console versions like the massive roster boost that later versions of Alpha 3 got or the presentation improvements in Third Strike OE.
-Lobbies run fast but are a bit threadbare: No in-game chat, and no instant-rematch function.
OVERALL
If you're looking for a more comprehensive way to experience the classic SF games than FightCade, and can't be bothered with setting up netplay for a Dreamcast or Playstation emulator, this is the way to go. Overall a well-done collection, good to see Digital Eclipse maintaining their form after the excellent Mega Man collections.
