2d beat em ups are meant to be played sticks not pads....i play them on keyboard though so I cant really talk :tpg:

Niche or not, they have made plenty of money to warrent a remake

I'm curious to see how this is gonna turn out. I did enjoy this game back when it came out oh so long ago, should be fun to play it again with better graphics.

fgsfgd

It's a 2d fighter not a beat em up. A Beat em up is Streets of RAge or Double Dragon or Golden Axe.

Yeah. Arcade sticks. Not analog sticks or shitty constricted 360 dpads.

okay keep your knickers on! But even so Streets of Rage has 2D fighting.
How about 1on1 2D fighter/beat-your mates-up

Or how about just 2D fighter. That's what everyone calls them.

I'm a little disappointed. I wasn't a big fan of the Street Fighter games outside of the '3' series and Alpha. Although I played the games religiously as a kid, the gameplay just doesn't do it for me anymore. I thoroughly enjoyed the mechanics of SF3 and it's sequels and Alpha managed to ooze cool with interesting takes on past characters (not to mention the Alpha counters~).

It's really too bad that 2D fighters don't generate a lot of cash. I'm kind of curious as to how the Guilty Gear series is still making sequel after sequel.

Aw that sucks, I was hoping for much more fluid animation like what we were given in 3. But it's great that UDON's doing the sprites for it. I love their work for the SF (and the Rival Schools) comic series, as some might have seen from my previous ava/sig combos, so I'm definitely looking forward to this. Hopefully they update/remix the original stage/character themes as they were the most memorable (really hated 3's soundtrack).

I wonder if this is all Capcom has planned for the series' 20th anniversary, it'd be a shame if it were.

They're not, they just release the same Guilty Gear XX with a few added tweaks once a year to generate more cash. #Reload, Slash and Accent Core are all practically the same game although there's a few additions added to every one.

Guilty Gear X3 will never come out.

The reason that they're not adding new frames to the game is quite simple-- it would make the game play completely differently than it does now. They want to keep the spirit of the original SSF2T, not completely change it. :D

As for me, if I had a 360, I'd get this, being that SF in my eyes is probably the best fighting game series ever (Rival Schools and Vampire Savior not withstanding) and one I get a lot of play in.

Made a new wallpaper if anyone is interested

SSF2T wallpaper on the way, as soon as they release the images.

i see remakes of mvc2, cvs2, 3s and hopefully every other 2d fighter out there. thank god for this. i was getting tired of seeing naruto and bleach (except for bleach ds) fighting games being made and turned into sequels.

Ohh, new image of Ken, what we see is exactly what we're getting the final product and it looks damn good to me.

This seems counterproductive.

The hardcore fans - the ones who have played the game to the point where they can time attacks based on individual frames of animation - aren't going to care about shiny graphics. They love Street Fighter in all its pixellated glory.

The passing fans who are more concerned with visual appearance, whom this remake is marketed towards, don't really care about strategy and just want it to look pretty when they throw fireballs.

I'm not sure who Capcom thinks they're making this for. Case in point: some people will like it, but personally I think that Ken looks terrible. It is no replacement for the classic hand-drawn sprites.

Wow, that's a pretty fugly sprite. I expected as much from Udon, they're pretty dodgy and they hired some more shitty artists, probably to work on this. Where are Akiman and Bengus? :(

Well most of the newer 2-D fighters probably won't be coming out over here anyways. So its no surprise they'd remake a SF or anything else.

I think the Ken sprite looks great. Anything is better then the originals, and if they looked better then 3S then it simply wouldn't make sense. Also this is a cheap DLC game. Not some big budget thing so for $10 I ain't gonna complain.

BRING IT ON CAPCOM!

New pics of Akuma, he looks a little too bulky in my opinion.

I'll have to post a pic of my Akuma figure, but even if you look at more recent sources for sprites & art of Akuma it pratically is exactly like this. Way to go Udon 2for2, can't wait for the next sprite.

Why is he lacking a mouth?

He's not. He's yelling with his mouth open height wise with his cheeks in. I admit that it is hard to see without distinct lip colour, but it's there, lol.

I can't wait to see this in motion.

Man, that's fucking awesome. Though at first I was really really hoping for a Street Fighter IV announcement. =X

I dunno, I still say his upper body looks a little buff (kinda out of proportion to the lower part of his body). Heh, I got the Akuma figures too (plus all the other characters, minus Blanka whom I still haven't found), assuming it's the one by SOTA, and he didn't seem that out of proportion (not even the Previews one, which generally just had an overall larger body).

BTW, did they ever set a release date for this game?

I bet the new Chun Li sprite will have her thunder thighs even thicker than Akuma's arms.

The Akuma sprite looks great. I'm really curious to see what this is going to look like in motion.
