I was posting info about this title alongside Super Puzzle Fighter HD because it was assumed that both would be released simultaneously. That didn't happen and SSF2 Turbo is still being developed and scheduled for release early 2008
Here are some screenshots and a not so good video of the game in action.
Here's what we know so far based on what was said by Sirlin, Rey Jimenez, and other Capcom/Backbone employees.
ST:HD is considered to be the next entry of the SF2 series, making it the 7th installment of the series (Hyper SF2 was the 6th). There will be actually be 2 games in ST:HD: the original, untouched Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (for all you purists) and the updated Super Turbo with new graphics by Udon artists and a remixed (or rebalanced) gameplay mode.
Release Date
According to this 1up.com article (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3163805), Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will "ship when it's ready," says Nique Fajors, vice president of marketing, but Capcom estimates a Q1 2008 release on both the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
Remixed Mode
In this mode, we can assume that inconsistent properties such as random dizzies will be fixed in the game. Characters who did not have reversal supers can now perform them (we saw Ken do a reversal super in the ST:HD footage (http://youtube.com/watch?v=u_CoKEvn45Q) that Rey Jimenez revealed). Most interesting is what was revealed in a 1up.com preview article (http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3163794).
We saw Ryu perform his fake fireball from Alpha 2/3 in the ST:HD footage, and I'm curious to see what the other characters gained. Svensson has hinted that T.Hawk and Fei Long will receive big changes. It doesn't seem like the easier moves will be like EO mode from CvS2, but more likely changing Tiger Knee to F, D, DF + K.
Sirlin objected to the "Remixed Mode" name, but in light of these new ST:HD tweaks, the name seems more and more fitting. If you want, you can still suggest alternatives in this thread (mine would be "Original/New").
Brian Dunn revealed something odd about ST:HD in the Capcom Digital Blog (http://blogs.capcomusa.com/blogs/digital.php/2007/10/18/sfhd_in_motion#c4001), "This game uses the Dreamcast version as a base. Basically it uses the same base code (with improvements and new features and additions), with all of the "art" files replaced with new ones for the updated look." According to the Shoryuken Wiki (http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/index.php/Super_Street_Fighter_2_Turbo):
Brian mentioned that we are basing the game off of the Dreamcast version. That was done because the DC (Japanese version) code is easier to work with, and there was already existing network code within the game to start with because the Japanese version had an online matchmaking service. Now, before you guys start throwing tables in disgust because we are using the DC version and not the arcade version, realize that the DC version was an arcade perfect version. Or at least it was really close. Some “dip switches” were changed for the DC version that gave it some of its interesting quirks. For SFHD, we are simply flipping those “switches” back to their original settings so that the game plays like the arcade version. Also, we are making fine adjustments as needed to make sure it plays exactly like the arcade. So, while it is true we are basing the code off of the DC version, the end result will play arcade perfect.
Graphics
Update: According to this Game Informer article (http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200710/N07.1019.1516.29680.htm?Page=1): Let's hope this addresses the anatomy issues that some have pointed out in previously released art samples.
Also, Rey Jimenez revealed in the Capcom blog, "The HUD and fonts are very early. We haven't done anything to jazz it up yet. So I know it looks boring now, but it's something we'll be working on."
Music/Sound
In a reversal to what was announced previously, remixed tunes will be available in the game. According to the 1up article, Christian Svensson, senior director of research and strategic planning at Capcom, hints that the community will come into play somehow with the creation (or selection) of the remixed music tracks. Rey Jimenez said in the Capcom Digital Blog, "You'll also notice the new Ken level music. Again, this is an optional feature, but I am working with a bunch of talented individuals to get new music in the game. I'll let you know who they are later as we get closer to release."
No word yet if Guile will have a manly "Sonic Boom" voice this time, but Ken and Ryu were using their CPSII voices in the ST:HD footage.
Widescreen Mode
In another reversal to what was said previously, ST:HD will have a widescreen option. According to Rey Jimenez, "As you may remember, we weren't planning on including any sort of widescreen support that would extend the edges of the playing field to the edge of the screen. But the community voiced that they wanted it really bad, so we decided to put it in. The mode is optional, so you can play in standard 4:3 if you want to. It’s not a stretched mode, but something similar to what’s been suggested on many forums as a widescreen option. Essentially, it’s a zoomed in mode, with a portion of the top of the screen cropped off." Sirlin at one point in his blog said, "The widescreen mode zooms in the camera but does not change gameplay. I was skeptical at first, but it's turning out surprisingly good. Even hardcore players seem to like it, even prefer it to the regular 4:3 mode."
Remember, widescreen mode is optional.
Tournament Options
No news on whether a tournament mode will be added, but I'll copy and paste the info from the previous thread because it is still relevant.
The SNES version of SSF2 had a Tournament mode, and it would be cool to implement a tournament ladder option for up to 16 players (or up to 64 or 128 people if it’s feasible) in HD Remix. Take a page out of Halo 2 and create a tournament lobby (which could be public or private) and provide options like single-elimination, double-elimination, and even round-robin tournaments. Taking this idea a step further, you can have a group of people in a lobby look for a large tournament, and when matchmaking finds one, it seeds those friends into different brackets (as best as it can) so that they don't face against each other in the first round. If there are ranked tournaments, then only one person can look for a tournament.
Rey Jimenez said in the Capcom Digital blog, "I've seen a lot of comments, especially on SRK, asking for a tournament mode. That is something that we’re definitely looking into."
Online Matchmaking
There was a very good suggestion for a blind selection option. Setting it so that players won’t know whom their opponent selected until the versus screen will prevent players from playing chicken on who picks first (and the other picking a counter-character). Definitely set blind selection as a default option for ranked matches.
Add a visible time limit on the character selection screen. It will visibly dissuade opponents from staying on the versus screen indefinitely (like those in Hyper Fighting who pick up wins from quitting players who are tired of waiting). It also advises indecisive Super Turbo players how much time they have left before the game chooses a fighter for them.
Speaking of quitting, Sirlin has stated that quitters will be dealt with (most likely with an automatic loss). Some have also suggested adding a disconnect stat (like DoA4) so that you can see if an opponent likes to quit mid-match a lot.
Rey Jimenez revealed that ranking system will no longer just track win/loss ratios. It will be a system similar to chess' ranking system. Some have suggested implementing a decaying rating system, where rating points for everyone goes down after a week or so (or just for those who haven't played in a week). It prevents people who begin with an awesome record to permanently remaining on top of leaderboards if they never play again.
Furthermore, there will be two leaderboards, one for original ST, one for Rebalanced/Remixed ST.
Quarter Match
Update: Rey Jimenez confirmed that Quarter Match will be available, and according to a Game Informer article (http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200710/N07.1019.1516.29680.htm?Page=2), it's going to be expanded. The Quarter Match lobby can now hold six people with four spectators and two players. Spectators can hang out and opt out of gameplay if they don’t want to play. Also, if someone drops out, someone can join a game that’s already in progress.
Netcode
In the 1up.com preview article, this interesting tidbit was revealed.
While Svensson can't detail just what it is that the developers are doing to counteract such issues with HD Remix, he offers a bold, potentially reassuring statement: "It's network code that's never been seen in a commercial fighting game before, and it will hopefully provide, even under relatively poor network connections, a much better experience than any fighting game that's ever existed.
Theatre/Gallery Mode
Once you beat the game with a character, you unlock his/her ending and additional artwork in this mode. It will give players an extra incentive to beat the game with every character.
Custom Win Quotes
The idea was shot down in the Capcom blog, so don't look forward to it.
Multi-button pause
It would be more for local play, but this was suggested to prevent accidental pauses during matches.
Training Mode
An option to display frame data would be great.
Some have suggested that Capcom should take notes from Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution's training mode. Rey said regarding this subject, "I've seen some very good suggestions using the training mode style from the SF EX series or VF 5, but I'm not sure if we have the time or extra file size to support such a feature."
At the very least, the option to turn off dizzy should be available.
I'll try to post more info as it becomes available :)
Start practicing, guys :)

I plan on flying to California soon to help fine tune Fei Long for the finalized remixed version of the game. I am close friends with David Sirlin and a few of the other guys who are developing the remixed mode.
Let's just say that the battlefield will be much more leveled than it was before. Characters who had really really bad matchups will have better tools to fight with. You guys who play SF will definitely notice the new game feel.
You guys already know about Ryu's fake fireball. This totally changes his matchup vs Dhalsim...oh and the mindgames and bait trap possibilities. It's gonna be crazy!

Word.
I was speaking to Sirlin about altering the game, and he was telling me just how delicate the game engine is for SSF2 turbo. If a hit box property is changed for one move, it can alter other moves in the game for everyone. So adding animation would mean totally rebuilding the game from the ground up. That takes big bux and lotsa time.

Eh...you may wanna stick to wired sticks. Any bit of lag will effect the games performance. Most wireless sticks have "input lag" so most people stick to wired sticks for the best results.
The Virtua Fighter 5 stick should be perfect for this!

Also, some details about the remix.
All Dragon Punches are easier because the timing window to perform them is no longer random—you now always get a 15 frame window rather than a random number between 8 and 15 (and you only had a small chance of getting 15 in the original game). 360 motions are easier because they no longer require you to hold up and accidentally jump. Spinning Pile Drives can now be done by half-circle forward, then back + punch or half circle back, then forward + punch. There is a lot of leeway on these commands so that they can still be done from defensive crouch, and the old 360 commands still work too.
Most commands ending with diagonally up/forward have been changed to much easier motions. Sagat’s Tiger Knee is a Dragon Punch motion now (as it is in later games). Cammy’s Hooligan Throw and Fei Long’s Flying Kicks are now fireball motions (qcf + p and qcf + k, respectively), so no more accidental jumping frustrations.
The “mash moves” require less mashing. That means it takes fewer button presses to activate Chun Li’s Lighting Legs, Honda’s Hundred Hand Slap, and Blanka’s Electricity.
All moves that required three simultaneous button presses now only require two. This is specifically to make the moves easier to execute on a gamepad (as opposed to an arcade joystick). Because of the way you hold a gamepad, it’s easier to hit the jab + short buttons together with your thumb than it is to hit the jab+strong punch buttons. For this reason, there are a lot of jab+short commands now. Zangief’s kick lariat, Vega’s single defensive flip, Blanka’s hop, and T.Hawk’s aerial dive can all be done with jab+short *as well as* the original three button commands. Zangief’s punch lariat and Vega’s double defensive flip can be done with either strong+forward, fierce+roundhouse, or the original commands. Dhalsim and Akuma’s teleports only require two punch or two kick buttons now, as does Balrog’s turn punch (but don’t worry, you can’t charge turn punch while having access to fierce and roundhouse at the same time).
Quite a lot more here:

Straight from David Sirlin
This is the first part in an extended series of articles from David Sirlin, detailing the changes we’ve made to the rebalanced mode of the new Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix project. This first article explains some of the motivation behind the project, reviews its design goals, and eliminates some of the misinformation we’ve seen floating around about the game. We’ll dig into the meaty details of some changes in the articles to follow!
Here’s a brief bio on our guest blogger:
David Sirlin has competed in Street Fighter tournaments for 16 years, and for 11 years he has helped organize and run the tournament series that started as B3 and has now become the international Evolution Championships. He represented the United States in SSF2T in Japan’s Super Battle Opera tournament, wrote the competitive gaming book Playing to Win, and provided narration for Bang the Machine, a documentary film about the Street Fighter community. He’s now overseeing the design and gameplay on Super Street Fighter 2: HD Remix.
And now, on with the article!
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix Gameplay, Part 1: Design Goals
Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix was originally going to be a graphical update of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, but along the way some magic happened. HD Remix is now a completely new Street Fighter game—the 6th installment in the SF2 series. It also includes an arcade perfect gameplay version of SSF2T with new art and music. You’re actually getting two games in one.
For years, I’ve been a care-taker of the franchise, helping to present the games in the best way in Capcom Classics Collection 1, 2, and Remixed. Now I have the honor and burden of improving upon what I consider the very best Street Fighter game ever: Super Turbo. So many have said it’s impossible to improve upon the polished gem of ST, but as Wayne Gretzky said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take,” so Capcom and I felt that it was worth taking a shot.
Here are the design goals:
1) Make the game easier to play—more inclusive rather than exclusive
2) Make the game even more balanced for tournament play
3) Add fun as long as it doesn’t interfere with #2.
Easier Controls
Inside Street Fighter, there is a wonderful battle of wits, but many potential players are locked out of experiencing it because they can’t Dragon Punch or do Fei Long’s flying kicks, or whatever other joystick gymnastics they require. I’d like to reverse this trend. There’s only so far I can go with this and still call it SF2, but wherever I could, I turned the knob towards easy execution of moves. Let’s emphasize good decision making—the true core of competitive games—and get rid of artificially difficult commands.
This will get more players interested in the game, eventually leading to more competition. It will also get players past the awkward beginner phase faster and into the intermediate phase where the interesting strategy starts to emerge.
All Dragon Punches are easier because the timing window to perform them is no longer random—you now always get a 15 frame window rather than a random number between 8 and 15 (and you only had a small chance of getting 15 in the original game). 360 motions are easier because they no longer require you to hold up and accidentally jump. Spinning Pile Drives can now be done by half-circle forward, then back + punch or half circle back, then forward + punch. There is a lot of leeway on these commands so that they can still be done from defensive crouch, and the old 360 commands still work too.
Most commands ending with diagonally up/forward have been changed to much easier motions. Sagat’s Tiger Knee is a Dragon Punch motion now (as it is in later games). Cammy’s Hooligan Throw and Fei Long’s Flying Kicks are now fireball motions (qcf + p and qcf + k, respectively), so no more accidental jumping frustrations.
The “mash moves” require less mashing. That means it takes fewer button presses to activate Chun Li’s Lighting Legs, Honda’s Hundred Hand Slap, and Blanka’s Electricity.
All moves that required three simultaneous button presses now only require two. This is specifically to make the moves easier to execute on a gamepad (as opposed to an arcade joystick). Because of the way you hold a gamepad, it’s easier to hit the jab + short buttons together with your thumb than it is to hit the jab+strong punch buttons. For this reason, there are a lot of jab+short commands now. Zangief’s kick lariat, Vega’s single defensive flip, Blanka’s hop, and T.Hawk’s aerial dive can all be done with jab+short *as well as* the original three button commands. Zangief’s punch lariat and Vega’s double defensive flip can be done with either strong+forward, fierce+roundhouse, or the original commands. Dhalsim and Akuma’s teleports only require two punch or two kick buttons now, as does Balrog’s turn punch (but don’t worry, you can’t charge turn punch while having access to fierce and roundhouse at the same time).
All of this taken together means that it’s easier than ever to get your moves to come out, especially on a gamepad. These changes alone increase the fun factor of the game quite a bit, especially for T.Hawk, Cammy, and Fei Long because their moves were so hard to do before.
Balanced for Tournament Play
Super Turbo is a delicate ecosystem, so changing anything can affect game balance a lot. Because there’s so much potential to wreck things, we need a plan that leverages all the knowledge we have about high-level play over the last 13 years. I picture a flat piece of wood with 100 indentations on it and 100 marbles. If we have 90 of the marbles resting in the right indentations, we wouldn’t want to violently shake the whole thing around in hopes of fixing the last 10.
After over a decade of tournaments, we know which characters are the best (Balrog and Dhalsim for sure, and Old Sagat in the US and Vega in Japan, with Chun Li as an honorable mention). We know which characters are the worst (Cammy, Fei Long, T.Hawk, Zangief, and Blanka). And which are in the middle. My goal is to buff up the worst characters so they reach the middle (or upper middle at best). Next, buff the middle characters slightly, but not so much that they become top tier. And finally, leave the top tier characters intact. In other words, the idea is to compress the tiers so that the difference in power between the best characters and worst characters is much smaller than before.
This approach gives us some margin of error. I’m shooting to make the previously weak characters about 2nd tier, but if they end up a little worse than that, they’re still be much more able to win than before and if they end up a little stronger, there’s some wiggle room before they overshadow the top tier.
Keeping the top tier at about the same power level is a good idea for a few reasons. First, we have a very solid idea of how powerful a character needs to be to be top tier (same as always!). Next, to use my last analogy, rolling around fewer marbles is better, so it’s safer to leave the top tier than it would be to bring them down in power and have no idea who’s good anymore. Also, as I said when I rebalanced Puzzle Fighter, we already know what the game felt like with the previous top tier characters, and it was fun, so it’s better to balance the game around that power level than a new, lower power level. And finally, to restate that, there are so many games that try to fix *everything* and nerf everything to such a low power level that even though things might be “fair,” they are no longer fun. I call this the Marvel vs. Street Fighter syndrome.
That said, there are some nerfs to the top tier. It sounds like I just contradicted myself, so I want you to understand this important distinction. Imagine that a top tier character has 10 awesome things about him or 10 ways to win. If we really wanted to nerf his power level, we would make all 10 of these things, say, 20% worse. (We’re not doing that, don’t worry!) But what if one of those 10 things is so abuseable that it can be repeated over and over pretty mindlessly, leading to shallow gameplay? This is a case where I think we can remove or tone down that 1 option and leave the other 9 just as strong as ever. This does not even necessarily reduce the overall power level of the character—it just forces the player out of repeating loops and into other more interesting options.
There are several of these situations in Super Turbo, and rather than trying to muck with every possible one, I think it’s just safer to remove the repeatable abuse from the top tier characters only—the abuseable stuff that can often decides matches. The various tricks from the worse characters never added up to enough power to dominate anyway.
It’s ironic that as a player, I seek out exactly these kinds of repeatable, mindless moves, yet as a designer they are what I’m trying to remove (again, from the top characters only). The list of toned down things is very, very short in comparison to the list of new, powered up stuff, so I think that fun factor is going up in addition to the compressing the tiers for balance.
In the coming weeks, I’ll detail the changes for each character in this new version of Street Fighter. I know you’ll find it easier to play, and I hope you find even more strategic and with fewer lopsided matches than ever.

More good news! Excuse the big pic...they changed the art style. Talk about BRIGHT!
Some video footage and interview with David Sirlin

http://blog.capcom.com/archives/998
One of the coolest features of the game is the new “HD Remix” mode in the game. As you guys have read from David Sirlin’s posts, we’ve been doing some changes to the game to create a mode in Super Turbo using input from some of the best Street Fighter players in the world. As I’m sure David would tell you, this is not as easy as it may sound. It’s taken many revisions, sessions of playing with pros, and further refinement to get it to where it is now, and it still may see a few more changes before release time. (From what I’m hearing, after a session of playing HD Remix, the pros are finding the changes so fun that it’s hard to go back to normal Super Turbo when they get home, which is super cool!)
As previously mentioned, we’ve also been hard at work on the online features. Recent tech solutions dedicated to online play have really raised the bar on what it means to have lag-less input during online play. We’ve put a ton of time in meeting this expectation and are confident that SFHD will provide the best online console experience to date.
I’ve seemed to be getting pretty long in my post here, so before I bore you to death, let me give a quick run down on a few more features that this extra time has allowed us to put in:
• 8-man Tournament Mode. This has been especially challenging with the new netcode
• Both Remixed and Classic music
• Hit Box Display. (Woohoo!)
There are more that we’ll announce later on, but I really wanted to mention the hit box feature as I know the guys at SRK would love to hear about that.
The last thing I’ll mention is concerning the talks the have been occurring online concerning the filesize of the game with respect to features on the 360 and the PS3 versions. 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.
Overall, the project has proved to be extremely challenging, something that I’m sure that all those involved at Capcom, Backbone, and Udon would readily admit to. I think in the end, the product you guys get in the end will be the most ambitious title put into the console download space and be well worth the wait.
Oh man, I want this game in the worst way. Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix and Street Fighter IV...good year!

Beta test information:
When an Xbox LIVE Gold subscriber purchases Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, they will also be able to download Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Beta when it is released shortly afterwards through Xbox LIVE Marketplace. This unique Beta version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will allow players to select from one of two Street Fighter characters, either Ryu or Ken, and battle online. This Beta test will help Capcom stress-test the network code underlying the incredible online features that power the multiplayer modes of the game. Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix online modes include Player or "Quarter" Match, Ranked Match, and Tournament Mode. The Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Beta will run for approximately eight weeks.
New game details:
The Capcom arcade classic receives a whole new look as Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix comes to both Xbox LIVE and the PLAYSTATION Network this fall. Capcom will maintain the integrity of the popular game by utilizing the original game code while upgrading the graphics with new artwork and high resolution 1080p images. Again, all of the art, from character animation to stage backgrounds, will be completely redrawn by Udon Entertainment, the company responsible for the US Street Fighter series of comics. Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will include both online and offline competition for one or two players.
Features:
* All new 1080p high-definition art for Street Fighter characters and backgrounds created by Udon Entertainment, creators of the Street Fighter comic books
* Features all 17 of the original Super Street Fighter II Turbo characters including Ryu, Guile, M. Bison and Akuma
* New optional "Rebalanced" Mode: massive changes across the board to all Street Fighter characters as created and tested by some the world’s top-ranked professional Street Fighter players
* One to two player head-to-head play either offline or online
o Single player vs. CPU
o Player vs. player over the same console
o Player vs. player online
* Training mode helps fighters hone their skills
* Improved network code for the best possible online fighting game experience
* Numerous online features:
o In-game voice chatting between players
o Matchmaking flexibility through multiple options
o Personal and friends statistics tracking
o Quarter Match Mode– this spectator-based system allows online competitors (2 competitors and up to 4 spectators) to use a "virtual quarter" to "buy into" heated two player matches
o Comprehensive worldwide rankings and leader boards by character - tracks overall wins and losses, number of throws, perfects, highest combos and more

Kelkee
03-14-08, 11:37 AM
Unless they are keeping more secrets and going to announce a Wii version later this is a big mistake.
At 480p it will still look awesome.
SF2 was first ported to the SNES I believe. Not including a Nintendo version of this update makes no sense especially with what they can do using the Wii controllers and the level of interaction that can bring to the game.

Well if its never ported over then you'll never know if you'd hate it or not.
VS mode would be really fun I think.
Of course there should be the option of using either the mote+chuck or classic controller.

That's why I said "think." I think it might be a fun diversion, but I just can't really picture the responsive use of all 6 different attack buttons and pulling off combos with motion controls.
Considering the size of the game too and the lack of internal memory on the Wii, it would probably start pushing people into needing memory cards to download and save it.

This game with the wii remote and nunchuk would be awful.
Also, does Nintendo let developers do their own online lobby and such? The online play is supposed to be a big part of this title, and using friend codes would be awful. I'd imagine they'd just leave online out.
I'll be getting it on 360 or PS3, but it would still look pretty good at 480p.

More than likely it will remain a download. Unless of course Capcom and Backbone decide that a disc pressing is necessary. I too would love a physical copy but since both XBL and PSN track your downloads I don't think losing my download is a worry.

I you like, I can mod your stick for you. It's a mild mod. All I did was swap out the buttons with real japanese sanwa buttons, added a joystick shaft cover and green ball top.
For the stick itself I added an octagon gate so it feels circular instead of square.
If you like I can add a bat top to give you that american stick feel. Makes a huge difference especially if you have larger hands. The stock version has a very short stick and I know that ball tops aren't vey popular amongst the avg arcade loving crowd.

I love the jap ball tops so thats not a prob. The stick you posted is the same as the DOA stick (which I have). I have considered getting that VF 5 stick, but I'm holding out on the small chance Namco will make a stick when SC IV is released. I will keep your offer in mind!

Yep, it's a sweet stick. I tried to change the artwork on my DOA stick and I ended up ruining the casing. When I saw these new generic green Fighting EX sticks I was quick to grab a pair.
Putting Sanwa buttons in there made a night and day difference. The stock buttons are garbage. The only hard part was desoldering the buttons from the pcb.
I can do the mod in one sitting..takes about 1.5 hours to do. Just buy the buttons and small parts and I'll do it for free with a quick turnaround time.
By the way, you guys know they are working on a "blind" pick for ranked matches. In other words, you won't know who your opponent is choosing :)

You are absolutely right. I was there helping to test the game for 3 full days and even as we speak some last minute tweaks are being done to a few characters for the HD Remix version of the game. I think it's safe to say that the game will definitely be more fun and many of the washout fights of the past will definitely be much more interesting.
One of the requests I had made from the beginning is actually going to make it into the final version. Double Blind character selection! Some of you may or may not remember but Weaponlord for the SNES was custom made for the Xband Online Network(yes, before XBL there was Xband)and one of the coolest features was the option for blind picking. This way you don't have to worry about people counter charcter whoring everytime a new match starts. Spectators will see question marks at the character select screen, while the players will only see their cursors and not their opponents. At the grand VS portrait screen EVERYONE sees who chose what...so it will add sort of a surprising and unpredictable element to online matching. There will also be a time limit at the character select screen.
Udon has done an amazing job with the game, and I am sure you guys will LOVE the backgrounds and new character art. I know most people are not really psyched about it but trust me...when you play this game on a 1080p set you're gonna wanna relearn it all over again. It's that nice.

yes, it's got a fairly long USB cord. I doubt You'll see a wireless fighting stick that's worth anything for a long time, if ever. The fighting games are too precise on timing with digital movements...and then the stick makers would have to pay MS for the wireless bit...
My suggestion is to get yourself a nice USB extension cord, and enjoy the corded Hori stick. I plan on modding mine soon...

It's the same as the DOA stick, and just over the cost of a 360 controller its not a bad purchase.

if you skip the buttons mod you can change out the plastic gate for a japanese sanwa gate. The sanwa gate can be manually toggled between 8 way and 4 way(for pac man and other old arcade games). Just skip down to the bottom of the tutorial.

Quarter-circle forward and the lightest kick button. It's got quicker recovery time than a real fireball and the opponent actually blocks for a split second if they are holding back. Pretty cool. Made for some funny times and scares, especially with the supermove fireball charged up.

The game is already complete and has been submitted to MS for release. It's in MS' hands now. Expect a release date sooner than you think.
In the meantime, here is some youtube cam footage of the game in action.

Officially 11/25 for PSN and 11/26 for XBLA: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/19/street-fighter-hd-confirmed-for-nov-25-on-psn-nov-26-on-xbla/
Confirming yesterday's rumor that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be making its long-awaited debut on Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday, Nov. 26, Capcom has also officially dated the PS3 version - for a day earlier, on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
PSN releases have historically been "locked" to Thursdays - much as XBL releases hit on Wednesdays - so is this a sign of change? Not likely, as Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 27, making this an exception to the "rule." Konami is releasing the Metal Gear Solid Online MEME expansion next Tuesday as well. Multiplatformers: which version (of SSFIITHDR) will you be getting?
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is coming to the PlayStation Store next week. And even better -- you won't have to wait until Thursday to get your hands on it! Capcom's fighting game will arrive during the super-special Thanksgiving Store update on Tuesday, November 25th. That means Street Fighter fans will get the game one day earlier on PS3 than on Xbox 360.
In addition to the game, Capcom will also be releasing a direct-to-download music album of hip-hop tracks inspired by the Street Fighter series. "Street Fighter Underground Remix" will feature artists such as DJ Qbert, Hieroglyphics, Redman, Oh No, DJ Toure, Mistah Fab and Zion I. Each artist has produced a Street Fighter tribute track that will be free of charge and exclusive to the PlayStation Network when Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix launches.

I'd say basically dealing with characters or specific moves that are considered to be over powered or under powered and adjusting them, like lowering/upping the amount of damage. Things like that. The idea essentially is that all characters should be equal and be able to beat everyone else.

I haven't really played these games since the early days of MK where I thought I was good until I went to an arcade and was repeatedly owned.
I haven't touched them since but I have the itch to have one on the cheap and with the price, visuals, balancing, and seemingly pick and play feel to this game (or at least internet access to moves), I think I am going to give this one a shot.
I really liked playing with the Bruce Lee knockoff back on the SF Genesis days.

I downloaded it, and from my first impressions it's not bad so far. I'm still not sure what the difference is between the "classic arcade" mode and the "HD Remix" mode is yet.
I have to say, the option for classic graphics style is an absolute joke. All it does is change the characters, NOT the backgrounds or character select screen, to the original sprites. They've also applied that damn filtering to the sprites, so they look like a blurry mess, even more so in contrast to the HD backgrounds. If you're looking to get this to play the original game (graphics-wise), don't bother.
In addition to the arcade mode, there's a training mode that lets you practice moves. Some unlockable stuff in a story mode would have been nice, but we can't expect that in a $15 game.

11-25-08, 08:58 PM
I got it and I won my first match! Then proceeded to lose my next 15 or so. I finally started winning about 50% of my matches after that.
So far I've seen 2 differences between remix and regular, Guile's super is easier to do with an analog stick and Ryu's fake fireball, which rocks and is probably the sole reason I managed to start winning matches. I love this game.
Now the bad news, I think I like Mortal Kombat vs DC even more. I don't know why. Street Fighter was almost my favorite game, and I've hated all the 3d Mortal Kombats, and felt the 2d ones were crappy but fun, but something about this game is awesome.

Why not 1 round of the arcade mode with all characters? Why not 1 round of arcade mode with only Ryu or Ken or whatever playable?
Totally fucking lame.

The adjustment tool is to move the image around, in case your display has overscan. There is another option to choose 4:3 or widescreen, in the Game Settings. It's called "widescreen gameplay" that you toggle on or off.
Bear in mind that this game's "OAR" is 4:3. The widescreen is zoomed in a bit.

There is no story mode. That's the sort of thing you would get in a full-fledged, boxed game. It's just the arcade game, along with a training mode where you can set variables like showing the hit boxes.

thanks for the reply. Sorry for the confusion, but what I actually meant was when you go through the game against the computer, is there an ending after you defeat the boss? Because in the actual arcade, there is an ending to each character. So, are you saying that this doesn't even have what was in the original arcade? Or are you saying there isn't a one player game where you go through all the characters with boss at the end?

I am still completely addicted to the game. I'll pop in a disc to play, but then go the the game menu and say "Oh, I'll just play a few SFII rounds online real quick." A few hours later and I am still playing. It has made me want SFIV right now.

Are you sure it's lag not some type of player glitch?
Lately on the PSN, I've seen some type of glitch where I'm moving at normal speed and my opponent seems to have the ability to teleport and command ultra-fast recovery time/reversal moves.
At first I thought it was lag, but then I started to see it used more with certain characters (Chun-Li, Fei-Long, Cammy).

I can get real competitive with these types of things and not having a gauge bums me out.
The game itself, however plays beautifully, even with the standard controller. I'm enjoying the hell out of the ranked matches. And the tournaments are a great touch (wish they did this in RB or Guitar Hero).

Certainly dont know for sure, however many ties it was accompanied by connection drops etc which I have had many times as well. And whats more annoying is that if the connection drops in the lobby it sends you all the way back to the root menu and out of the multiplayer menu system. I play warhawk like a champ without any lag so I dont think it has anything to do with my connection.

Weren't you using a fighting stick before? I thought you were when we played SSF2T awhile back. Unless you're just that good with the controller doing the jab+short+SPD.
What system are you playing on? I'm playing on PS3 because my cousin game shared it with me. I might eventually get the 360 version though.

It is with great pleasure to announce that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix has sold over 250,000 units year to date. HD Remix has shattered both day one and week one sales records and will most likely break 30 day sales records as well. It's on its way to becoming the highest grossing digital title ever.
Very cool. :up:In that case, maybe this will give them incentive to work on a SF3 in HD - that game's fluid animation in HD would be pretty amazing.

Bionic Commando was crazy successful for Capcom too - they should get to work on an HD update to Strider, STAT!

never had a stick - at least one not connected to a MAME machine.
I've always been on the controller, and it's hit or miss pulling off the super moves with it.
I'm on the 360

What is going on with all this cheap throwing?
Am I just too old school, or was it just my part of the town?
Because, if you cheap throw, (immediately throw the opponent after he blocks) you will get a beat down at all of my local arcades. I lived in NY and went to a lot of different arcades(in the early 90s), and I've seen people actually have fist fights over this cheap throwing (usually cursing out is the norm). This was the rule which everybody followed, only the newbie and few as#%$les did it, which they later learn their lessons.
Did the rule changed? was it just in NY? Damn, like 70% of online players throw like crazy now.

That's how I learned to play. But one time I went to Vegas and played, and got thrown left and right like it was normal. And years later, when SF became playable online, the same thing. So I've just had to learn to adapt. Besides, I use Zangief now, so all I try to do is throw.

I never played in arcades, only started at home on the SNES version. We learned to throw when you could. It can be cheap, but, if you're not a good enough player to counter then you deserve to lose the match.

What do you have to do to earn it? I have it on PSN.

To get the achievement on the 360, you have to throw your opponent 10 times in the match. Pretty easy if the match goes 5 rounds.

I don't think the PS3 version has any trophies, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, no trophies. That's ok, I could hardly play the demo on XBL because of the stinkin' 360 Dpad.

if you get used to the analog stick, it ain't too bad. But yeah, the dpad is a disaster in engineering.

Wow the AI on the remixed Akuma is insane. Decided come back to this game and get the rest of the achievements last night... Took me over an hour before I finally knocked him out once, then another half hour to get the 25 point achievement and finally beat him. I had to resort to Ken and just getting perfectly timed fierce shoryukens off on him. I think the AI just felt sorry for me because when I finally won I got a perfect on him with a special KO.

Sorry to revive this... but had some questions.
Is there anyone here who's played this on both the 360 and the PS3? I know both are getting patched soon, but I'm curious as to which is the better system to play the game on.
People are selling their 360 Limited Edition Remix codes and I purchased one, but now I'm thinking maybe I should resell it and buy Remix for the PS3. (I try to keep all my non-exclusives on the PS3).
Anyone's who's played both and care to weigh in?

I haven't played both, but was pleased to know there's a patch coming. Here are the details:
http://blog.wired.com/games/2009/03/street-fighte-1.html
After a number of games, the HUD will be corrupt. Yellow lifebars will freeze, the round counter flags will all be on, and the names will show more than one name. (Both)
Frequent disconnects during VS transition screen. Often caused by selecting START color of character. (Both)
Title crashes if user has a large friends list and tries to access the friends list (PS3)
Rating being set to "0" and from then on, rating remains at "0". Once that patch goes live, we'll reset all leaderboards/scoreboards. (Both)
Vega sometimes causing desyncing, especially when using the fake wall dive. (Both).
Lobby list containing full rooms instead of only rooms that users can enter. (Both).
Zangief Super Motion not working on both sides and in both directions.
During the start of the match, there is slight slowdown. This has been minimized as much as possible. (PS3).
If connecting to a ranked match through the quick match function, it is best out of 3 rather than best out of 5. (Both)
Sending messages via XMB during a game causes a freeze. (PS3)
Players not added to "Players Met" list. (PS3)
Analog and D-pad can accept input at the same time. (Both)
Player stats not reporting correctly.
I'm so happy they're going to fix the rating. That's going to bring me back to this game.
