The US is finally getting a release of GGXXACP.. "Spring" 2009, which I guess is our Autumn.

Unfortunately not on a system that really matters (or has online play!)

Any sufficiently godlike street fighter technique is indistinguishable from randomness

Interesting news but as far as I know, the difference between AC and AC+ isn't that significant. It just adds EX movesets, the new team mode, and apparently some story stuff?

Pretty much, and the bosses are playable I think.

Would be much more interesting if they had released it on a platform someone cares about...

Dunno how well online GG would fare on consoles anyway. I can't see myself trying to do Slayer f.S > c.S link online, or anything like that..

I have the PS2 JP version.  Pretty much AC+ contains both Kliff and Justice.  They have been toned down quite a bit but still not enough as they are still overpowered.  Also adds a story mode (multiple path per character) so for anyone that can't be bothered trying to complete survival mode again you can play story mode to unlock the EX movesets and the GOLD version of each character.

As far as platform is concerned, it would have been nice to release the game on PSN and XBL but hey maybe thay may happen within the next year or so when PS2 start to slowly fade away.

BTW (off topic) anyone going to pick up Arcana Heart 2 for the PS2?  April 6 for the Japanese release.
