I haven’t tried the original, so I tried the demo on XBLA with a friend today. This was extremely chaotic and fun (until my friend realized how good Cable was, although I ended up beating him with Wolverine being assisted by Ryu) I will definitely buy this later.
I was surprised to see Capcom did the same thing with this demo that they did with the SSFII HD one (that it’s limited to the two player VS mode with no single player portion).
Yeah, it was kind of annoying not being able to try the single player mode.
