Japanese Figting game question

Ok here we go, I received my Xman vs StreetFighter as well as Marvel vs today and first I got to say they look incredable but they do not fit my screen, is this the norm or is there a setting in the options I need to adjust?
My TV is a 32" Panasonic HD but not a widescreen.

 

I think most Capcom games have screen adjustment options, usually it's in the options menu.

 

Thanks I will look.

 

i have marvel vs street fighter and i know it doesnt have an adjusment, might have to play on a different tv to get it to fit.

 

They seem to display in full screen on my 4:3 TV. Do you have widescreen?

 

No not a widescreen, the picture is cut off at the top of the screen so you only get half the information and if fighting moves to one side of the screen or other you can not see the action. What size screen are you guys using that you do not have this problem?
No other games I have or ever had shared this problem.
This is my first Jap console, could it have anything to do with that?

 

Ah, I know your problem. Some Capcom fighting games are pure arcade ports which includes the extra large screen size. There's nothing you can do except get a new TV. Some Capcom fighters have their energy bars right at the top of the screen making it look sightly off on some TVs. I ran my Saturn though mu PC's MPEG 2 card once and played it on the TFT. You can see that Capcom have left no spare space at the top of the screen unlike other game makers.

Thanks Yakumo that would explain it, I have a 36" in my living room and I will see how it looks on that. The wife will just have to deal with me again in the living room. :smt042
