Fighting Street (not street fighter)

Street Fighter Alpha 2
THAT IS FOR THE PRESENT, In the future we can look foward (kinda) to...

Street Fighter III (thank god)
The rest of them I don't know about, although I DO know there will be a 3D

 He's not in the game except the one screen.  Don't ya think everyone would
know the code by now?  For example.. Alpha 2.  They found Evil Ryu 1 week
after the game was released.  So it's safe to say Ryu is not playable or

user: You are replying to All about "Time Limits".

Write your reply.

assistant: How does everyone feel about time limits for arcade games? Personally I
think they're too short to begin with, and they cut down the fun factor by
half. Here's two examples: Alpine Racer (the sking game by Namco) that game
is pretty cool, and fun to play, but the time goes by so fast that you have
to barely make a mistake during your run. Otherwise you really don't have
ime
to finish.
    Second look at pinball games, their their only games out there ( that I
can think of now) that never had a time limit. You can hold the ball against
the flipper, and grab yourself a soda and come back without worring about the
time.
    This just doesn't go just for racing games, but for fighting games too. I
know there their for challenge, and to regulate the arcade games, but what
re
your opinions about the time limits for arcade games these days.
