Would 720p look good on an HDTV such as this?

After playing SFAC I've concluded that no one should purchase it, because Capcom is retarded and somehow made the graphics worse than ports from years ago.
But don't buy SCII either though, its equally as bad in the gameplay dept.

Import.
You know how the DC version had all those different video modes, and de-interlaced made the graphics crisp? Well the PS2 version only has a filter that you can turn on and off, and even with it off it's still twice as blurry as the normal DC graphics. My eyes were actually hurting after like 20min of playing.
I guess it would be worth it because they have the original guard system in it, which allows for unblockables, and also the arcade parry timing, but the graphics are just retarded looking.
Damn you Capcom.

Remember that time I trounced everybody in the room (thou included) when I used the wavebird? God damn that could have been some good round robin... then I told the retarded guy that Ivy was supposed to be on the back of his shirt. Yeah, I guess I'm the asshole.
And another thing, D, why the hell don't you call me up when a thread like this is going on? It ain't hard.
I have to agree that the XBOX version is the best version to get, since the frame drops somehow made it into the PS2. But do consider carefully who you are going to be playing with. If your visitors are likely to be more used to a Dual Shock 2 than anything else, you'll get fewer complaints by providing them one. Remember that the skill of your opponents is going to make your game experience, and they won't even try if they think they can't get used to the controller.
Course, you could always get a coupla proper sticks and eliminate the question, usually works eventually.
If anybody wants to hear stories about SC2 complaints or about adaptor hell, just ask me. I will write you a fucking book.
I've got all three versions, and the best one in my opinion is the Xbox one. The GC controller does pose some problems that can't totally be adressed by reconfiguring the buttons. Unless you want to keep repositioning your hands, the xbox controller (buttons stick out more) followed by the ps2 version are the ones you want. The PS2 has the slower loading time, but it's only a pain if you're used to other superior ones (in that respect). Spawn's great for speed and power, but doesn't have much distance (aside from his fireball). Link's quick and kinda weak, but you'll have so much fun with his projectiles (which aren't really as cheesy as I originally thought) and classic moves. Heihachi's really damned strong, but he's only effective at close range. If you've played tekken, this is your game (only one kick button, though).

I can never understand ppl who buy a version of a game for each console. What is the point exactly? Do enjoy unlocking everything 3 times over and paying 3 times the price for the same game?
Anyway I would have voted GCN version unless you can take advantage of the Xbox's nice features.

I can't play SC2 on a GC controller, the buttons are just mapped very awkwardly. Trying to hit B+K is a chore on that controller. If you have a MAS stick that works with all three systems then go with the version(s) with the exclusive characters you want to play as. Otherwise go with the Xbox version, best overall everything ... I never play the exclusive characters anyways.
I once dissed 'hachi on the PS2, but in the right hands its downright scary how quickly 'hachi can kill you. He has some crazy juggles.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
FYI -
720p is 4:3 only. In fact, IIRC, it's not even full screen at that.

-So I always have the right version to play based on present company. That XBOX version rarely gets out 'round here. If your weaksauce opponents are going to agree to play against you, again, then they're going to want their favorite controller and sometimes Link.
-So I can practice with the concole specific characters so I know hwat I'd be up against.
-So I can have fun with the Gamestop clerk.
ASM: I'd like a copy of Soul Calibur 2 please.
CLERK: Ok, which version.
ASM: Oh... Why don't you decide.
CLERK: Ooooook. Well, the Gamecube version has Link. Here you are.
ASM: Thank you. Now get me the other two versions please.
CLERK: Allri- WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT ?!

Link is really awesome in the GC version and is by far the best special character. If you can deal with that darned GC controller I would go for Link. Though I think the ps2 and Xbox versions both sport superior control. At any rate every game has Hwa..err the Assasin anyway he's a GOD!

Heihachi > Link = Spawn
However, since all three games have Necrid, NO-ONE WINS.
