Special Edition Cards?

[PureHatred]

Is there a way to differentiate on the on-line catalog between the Special Edition cards that are more vital to storylines?

The orginal SEs were basically identical or only slightly different from the orginal card but had updated artwork. like Bishop Hell or Chaos. So they were sort of "optional."

But some cards, like Euritar and Godsend from aCe Reinforcements, are completely different and actually an integral part of the set they're released with. I sort of understand if you are trying to maintain the price of sets, so they're not included.

But could you make a distinction? I know for myself, after I did the Storm the Ring and Brawl, I read through the booklets and ended up going back and ordering another 10 cards or so after I realized they were a must have.

And if I'd ordered aCe w/o ordering Godsend, i would've kicked myself in the face.

Any way you could possible designate whihc SEs are the more important ones?

Hey Hatred if you need a Euritar I have an extra.

[Knapik]

I'll make a list for you tonight when I get home if no one has helped you yet.

[offspring515]

I'd really appreciate a list like that too. I only made it up to 2096, so i think all the SE cards I bought were just art updates. I'd like to know which are "essential" because i'm on a limited budget.

[Knapik]

There were some I didn't know or was unsure about... missing a few sorry guys :/

NECESSARY means something has changed. I suppose necessary is subjective. I realized at the end I could have just listed what WASN'T necessary haha.

Well...looks like i'll be buying lots of cards Thanks for the hard work knapik, much appreciated!

[PureHatred]

knapik, thanks for the Euritar offer. I have the card, but I appreciate anyways.

Also, that list is awesome. That's exaclty what I was talking about. it would be a huge use for buyers of the game who are getting back editions. And if it can't be available on the catalog then at the very least, this thread should be pinned.

[TheOtherTravis]

Just thought that I would add the few that were missing:

2100 - Grunge - art update
2102 - Alpha Force - art update
2106 - Krakan - manager card
2106 - Lord Nexus - manager card
2106 - Janus - stat change for when he joins CPC (debatable if this is an upgrade or downgrade)
2108 - Alpha Force - stat change (for when he teams with Chaos)
2108 - Chaos - stat change (for when he gets his confidence back)
2114 - Spike - Minister of War card (chart for when he accompanies Gladiators to ringside)
2115 - Vallah - Keeper of the Realms card (chart on back)
2116 - Atman - move names change for when he joins the Immortals, but no statistical changes.

I guess whether or not the cards are necessary are pretty much up to you. Although, I would say that at a minimum, the Alpha Force (2108) and Chaos (2108) cards are necessary.

Peace.

Thanks, Travis!

What bout Endgame SE thats the only one I don't have!!!!!!

[hawk]

Colossus & Heracules SE cards both have stat changes, and in Colossus's case, his secondary finisher gets stronger.

Their both quite nessicary.

Do you mean the limited edition card for 2117? It's a slightly downgraded card from the one in 2119. He has a level 2 move on level 1 offense, where the 2119 card has a level 3 move, and reversal-1 on level 1 defense, where the 2119 card has a reversal-2. Other than that, the cards are pretty much identical.

Peace.

[Knapik]

Heracles does? Hmm I didn't notice. I'll modify my post to reflect it! Thanks

[Big Bri]

Thanks knapik & Travis!! I've been wanting some clarification on SE cards for a loooooooong time!

[GalactiKing]

Just a note....Disaster's SE card has no changes to his card.

[Knapik]

MY bad, thought he went from the roll finisher to the +4 on that card. Thanks, Troy

[Tom]

This has been an excellent and much-needed discussion. Thank you.

[joethereturner]

Thought I'd bump this up a little since it's such a great resource. Thanks for the list Knapik!

[MikeMcKinney]

Tkx Knapik...you are awesome.

[JMello]

Also, as far as the Bash sets go, if you're playing classics there is a three week period where you need Avenging Warrior.
