This desc matches ours exept we can only change characters while on the
ground not blocking.

Your a stupid fuck, this message is on ALL sf2's.  Just find a normal
one and turn it off and an and compare the messages word for word.
You obviously didn't even quote correctly, bbecause the us versions
will say 'only to be played in us, canada, ...' and the japanese versions
(never seen one) would say 'only to be played in japan,...' maybbe in
japanese.  Also, if this was illegal, do you think the hackers would
have deliberately inserted a warning messages.

Your guess was close, but mistaked.  Obviously it was someone high up in
capcom, with agreement from the company, who sold the prototype epromms
to the copiers while the company pocketed a few million bucks.

The only reason you got 50 bucks was because he must have been paranoid
or retarded.  Its obvious that since these technically illegal chips are
being sold in the open amoungst distributers and are in at least 25% of
the ce's around that capcom obviously doesnt care enough to prosecute, and
capcom is the only one who could prosecute.
