Here is the link to press release on some RPG website. Clickerty Clickerty Click here...

Interesting. If they do a good job I wouldn't mind buying this. I wish Wizards of the Coast had brought the Capcom/SNK collectable card game over here. Just for the artwork- it would have been worth it.

Bored? "160"

Ooooooooh, Final Fight! That makes White Sword happy!

Though with so many important FF characters in SF, it would be nice if the two were completely merged in the future.

(Hmm...Charlie, Chun-Li, Guile, Guy, and Rose in a beat'em up .vs Shadaloo....mmmm...)

It's a much better game than shitty Yugioh. Plus the art isn't absolute crap (like shitty Yugioh).

I haven't played rpgs in years, since switching over to playing them on pcs & consoles. Rpgs have gotten so expensive since I played in the dark ages, ( I think some of the D20 games go for like $40 US ) which is the only thing that may keep me from getting this game.

If they are listening, I hope they include tons of capcom artwork. I'll buy the book just for the art alone.

There's a whole line of p&p RPGs based on anime, I've even played a couple, but somehow I can't see role-playing an SF2 character where the fighting will be all rolling dice to be that exciting. Darkstalkers has a richer setting so that could be fun though.

Actually I think Darkstalkers falls into the same trap SF does, and that at heart it's primarly a one vs one game. And one vs one doesn't work well for role playing, which is a group activity. They'll have to tinker with the setting alot to make it group friendly...(Though as you say, the Darkstalker world makes that a bit easier as it already has the fantasy elements).

I suppose they could go the Battletech route and have it be a strategy role playing game, but I don't see that really catching on when the fight game does the same. Now if they could come up with a Hero Clix style game, then they might be on to something...

It's like Dungeon's and Dragons, except you don't go into caves or take on an evil alignment to play it. I think..It's hard to be sure with these evil games...

Trust me, I've seen a real D&D session and don't let any of the so called players tell you otherwise, it is a den of evil. And it is the fault of gym teachers...

It could be interesting if it plays like the Lunch Money card game.

MAYBE. I played a couple of games and it was fairly fun. In other news I also tried playing D&D but i got kicked out (it involved me getting bored and mooning high level monsters.)

If you've ever watched an anime that's either based on a fighting game or just based around fighting, that's probably about how a fighting-game based RPG would go.

I've run games with my Thrash system (http://thrash.blackbird.nu -- though I need to get off my butt and continue revising it...), and basically the one-on-one fights are saved for poignant/important moments as much as possible, and the rest of the game is a mixture of character development, taking down random thugs, investigation type stuff, comedy, and whatever else fits. RPG combat *can* be really satisfying, but you have to play up the tactics and/or drama to keep it interesting.

Living Room Games' won't be the first Street Fighter RPG BTW -- White Wolf tried their hand at one, but it's way out of print now. IMO it failed partly because they overly simplified the system, but it was still pretty nifty. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what they come up with.
