Fans Made Super SF II Tubro HD Remix Soundtrack

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix needed a turbo remix of a soundtrack. And that's what it got from non-for-profit website OverClocked Remix (www.ocremix.org), which provided fan mixes and arrangements. According to the site's creator David Lloyd, "Artists can submit their own ReMixes of classic and modern game soundtracks, from consoles, handhelds, arcade, or computer games, in any musical genre, from rock to jazz to orchestral to trance." Capcom was able to tap this pool of talent for the game's soundtrack. And that's pretty darn cool.

XBLA This Week: Commando 3, Frogger 2 - Commando Wins!

It's sequel week in the musty old Xbox Live Arcade, with two classic arcade games making their relatively triumphant returns. First off we have Capcom's Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, which features all of the scrolling, shooting, POW rescuing action of the original, along with online multiplay and a free beta version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, all for 800 Microsoft points.

Also coming this Wednesday is Frogger 2, which includes 15 levels of action, boss battles, two new online multiplayer modes, and no free beta version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, all for 800 Microsoft points.

I am sensing a clear winner here.

New SFII HD Art Shows Stern Faces, Clean Armpits

Udon, longtime SFII and Capcom collaborators, have released some of their character art that'll feature in SFII HD. Namely, the little portraits that'll appear on the character select screen. These ones below aren't little, though. They're the big versions. Plenty big enough to show that Cammy's armpits are fully prepared for the extra scrutiny the HD era affords.

Capcom Explain Why There's No PS3 SFII HD Beta

360 owners get access to the SFII HD beta when they pick up Commando 3. PS3 owners don't. That kind of discrepancy leads to questions, which left unanswered lead to thinking, then a wacky hypothesis, then most likely an ill-informed internet forum rant. Seeking to head that kind of rant off at the pass, Capcom have explained just why PS3 owners won't be getting access to the beta, listing reasons such as a finite number of resources, the fact a double-test would have pushed the actual game's release back months and the near-impossibility of running a cross-platform beta test. All very legitimate, all very sensible. None as sensible as this, though: this is a beta test. Not a demo. As Capcom's Seth Killian explains, "There is code parity across the two and any issues found in 360 will be fixed in PS3".

XBLA SFII HD Isn't Gimped

We know SFII HD was causing problems for the development team at Capcom. They've got all these lovely HD textures and sprites they want to use, you see, but Xbox Live Arcade's file-size limit means squeezing these into the 360 version has been a big hurdle to clear. Note I say big. Not insurmountable. Capcom's Seth Killian:
I can officially say that the filesize will not be an issue. With great help from the guys at Microsoft, we will be able to offer the same features on both platforms to the same quality as each other. To use the term I've been reading on the forums, neither console version will be "gimped" due to any kind of limitation.
Breathe easy, 360 owners. Unless you've still got concerns over the 360 controller's suitability for this game, that is. In which case, continue breathing frantically.

Play Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Early, Commando 3 Purchase Required

Looking to get your mitts on Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix early? Buy Commando 3! Capcom is giving Xbox Live Gold members an opportunity to help "stress test" a beta version of the 1080p remake of SSFIITHDR if they virtually drop the 800 Microsoft Points on its other offering. That's the good news. The bad news is that you'll be limited solely to Ken and Ryu and a single stage and that PlayStation 3 owners don't seem to be getting a similar deal.

Whatever! As a Commando and Mercs fan, I was already planning on picking up Commando 3 (aka Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3). Getting the HD treatment on Super Street Fighter II Turbo will be a nice little bonus.

Balancing The Ass Kicking Properties of Street Fighter's Ken

Love him or hate him, you're stuck with David Sirlin, the man who plans to bring balance to the forces fighting in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. In a recent entry on the official Capcom Blog, Sir Sirlin breaks down the changes to one of the most popular, but certainly not most powerful, characters in the Street Fighter universe. Ken Masters may be a bit pedestrian, a tad obvious, but for those who think of Ken as a mid-tier choice in competitive Street Fighter play, they should give the list of changes a read. If we had our druthers, visual aides of the changes would be provided, but visualizing them through text will simply have to suffice.

In short, Ken's hurricane kicks, dragon punches and reversal have all been given a bit of a boost. Nothing balance-shattering, but interesting to Street Fighter II fans, nonetheless.

Try to look away as the animated GIF from Street Fighter: The Movie makes its appearance. May cause seizures of regret.

SSFIITHDR Made Softer, More Cuddly For Casuals

The man largely responsible for the "re-balancing" of Capcom's other hi-def remake Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, David Sirlin, recently posted about the upcoming changes to Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, tweaks he hopes will make the 2D fighter more approachable to noobs. Sirlin, who notes his suggested balances to SSFIITHDR are designed to make the game "more inclusive rather than exclusive", focus firstly on pulling off certain moves. Executing Zangief's spinning pile driver, for instance, can be a challenge on the d-pads of current gamepads, as are certain moves by Sagat, Fei Long, and Cammy. In the new optional "inclusive" version, these moves have been simplified. More »

Capcom Responds To SSFIITHDR Art Leak

Unsurprisingly, Capcom was less than ecstatic to see ancient, internal art files for the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network release Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix make their way online. But they've turned leaky lemons into lemonade, giving readers of the official Capcom blogs and Street Fighter followers a look at what's a work in progress and what's expected to change. In short? Just about everything. More »

Early SSFIITHDR Character Art Leaked

Those weary of the infrequent drip of artwork provided by the Capcom Digital blog might be interested in an early—and I do mean early—peek at a huge number of redrawn sprites from Capcom's upcoming Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix which have recently found their way onto the internet. In-progress drawings, complete with design notes and hitbox guides, were squeezed out, presumably unintentionally, in a zipped archive that contains artwork for Guile, Cammy, M. Bison, Zangief, Blank, Ken, Ryu, Akuma, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Fei Long, Sagat, Balrog and Vega. More »

Super Street Fighter II HD's Akuma

We got our first look at Udon's take on Ken Masters from Street Fighter II just last week but Capcom's already throwing us another teaser for its HD remake. Also from the Shoryuken school of ass-kicking is the lovable Akuma, now in carefully redrawn high definition. More »

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Sprite Comparison

Man, Ryu has never looked so slick! French website Gamekult has posted this "confidential" slide from a Capcom press conference showing a comparison between the original SSFII Ryu sprites scaled up to HD resolution and what the new HD sprites will look like. What a difference, eh? If the other characters and backgrounds look as good as this one (which one naturally assumes they will), this will be one of the must have games on XBLA and well worth the MS points to purchase it.
