More Street Fighter News

Here’s an update on the upcoming Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. And yes, I know that I have to come up with a suitable acronym for it at some point in the future.

This week we’re taking an in-depth look at Ryu himself. How do you mess with arguably one of the most versatile and fully-realized character designs of all time? Read on for the answer! PS- remember, the changes to the rebalanced mode are OPTIONAL. If you think our redesign team has messed with a masterpiece, the game’s original mode is also included. Although “original” mode also features the HD art, original mode has NO changes to any of the characters. All of their move properties and hitboxes are exactly as they were, down to the pixel! This basically means you have two games in one, and if you don’t like the new-fangled version, the old-school version is still there.

The game’s rebalanced mode, which I mentioned in a previous post, is addressed. It turns out that it is completely optional and veteran players will still be able to enjoy classic Street Fighter via the original mode. Ryu receives special attention because, as the game’s main character, he holds a special place in the mind of an SF player. Aside from his “cool and calculating” nature, his moves provide the basics you need for the game. According to the article, most players agree that Ryu is perfect enough as he is, but the new version will be adding a little something to him anyway , so hit the jump to find out what it is.

With that said, here’s a tournament video of Ryu in tournament action:
