Arc Systems seem to love doing this.

It seems like they're gonna start releasing many iterations of each game.  In just a few years they released like 4 or 5 different versions of GG:XX.

Be interesting to know what thier strategy is with this.  Especially when you consider that the arcades are dying atm, and its expensive to get these big machines.  Now when BB:CS hasn't even hit consoles with a worldwide release, theyre anouncing BB:CS2.

In general actually now that I think about it they have a pretty weird release schedule in general.  Like BB:CT for PC only being released like 2 or 3 months after the newest game BB:CS has dropped on console in some places.

Also, man it's hard executing stuff on BB and GG.  Especially the damn supers.  Makes me cry myself to sleep at night.

No way lol they're simpler than SF I reckon. Good ol' 'half turn back, forward, [something] button.' And double quarter turns, too. Like, I just started playing SF4 a week or so ago, and wtf is up with stuff like, Akuma's ultra? That's some technical sciencey shit.

But you're right about the whole multiple release thing. Gets a bit tedious I suppose.

[luckytintinnz]

BB:CS II will probably be arcade only. Don't forget that the current arcade version doesn't have Mu, Makoto, Valkenhayn and Platinum (+ stages and themes for those characters). All those 4 characters + balance patch = BBCSII. Console versions get them via DLCs. That's probably why it's still BBCS.

It's not that bad compare to GG, hopefully it won't end up like GG though

hopefully it won't end up like GG though

What, good?

[luckytintinnz]

Nah, dead lol

Yea, GG is good but there are too many iterations.

GG -> GG X -> GG X Plus -> GGXX -> GGXX Reload -> GGXX Slash -> GGXX AC -> GGXX AC Plus (GG Isuka is in there somewhere).

[fluxcore]

Yeah, but there are only 2 worth playing so it's actually not that bad.

But I guess there's only 1 BB worth playing too...

All I can say is the release schedule really doesn't make me want to run tournaments down here for BB, since by the time we actually get a release, the new game is already out. This happened for GG too and it's absolutely frustrating.

My understanding is that BB:CS2 is as luckytintinnz said and that is purely to bring the arcade in line with the console version and all its DLC.
So if thats the case then I don't think its to much to worry about as BB3 has not been announced.
