40 fucking dollars? They have lost their shit.

$40????!!!!

Are you serious? I thought it was $20, tops.

I mean, I know it has an Arcade Mode most likely, but it being more than SF5 imo is ludicrous.

 

[Hazzuh]

Violent Ken was introduced years ago in SvC Chaos.

That isn't Violent Ken... he clearly says right there his name is OOOH-WAAAAAH!!!

 

[Nestunt]

Maybe a year at most.

I would say EVO

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Damn, that's a really slick work by Bengus, I was starting to doubt if he still had it.

Bengus is still great, but he probably had as much time for that piece as all the SF5 story art together.

So like an entire day or what

 

[Cepheus]

Damn

 

[Ozium]

if they are charging 40 dollars then they should literally put every playable street fighter character in it as an sf2 version and make it like some insane omega version of sf2.. and I mean every playable character redone for sf2 and made into sprites, so you'd have SF2 F.A.N.G, Karin, Q, etc. hell even El fucking Fuerte.

evil ryu and violent ken aren't enough

 

[Jaeger]

Yo. Day 1. Retro graphics, randomly adding Evil Ryu and Violent Ken. I am in.

 

[Kouichi]

I reallllly want this, but that price is crazy. They'll need wait more than just two palette swaps characters to justify that.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Are they doing synchronized blowjob motions?

 

[giancarlo123x]

The price point makes no sense, literally pretty much 2 characters with different colors shouldn't equal a 25 dollar up charge. The sf4 expansions were cheaper and included new characters, stages, music, and modes. They need to try again.

 

[Lord Frieza]

A port of SF2 in 2017? What a time.

 

[Rymuth]

So like an entire day or what

Brrrr~ that's cold

 

[mrback]

$40???? surely not????

 

[Chairhome]

I'm hoping the price is wrong, since the Capcom unity post says pricing will be detailed later. Ono is scheduled to show up on the Treehouse stream today, so we'll get a better look at it and maybe he'll have some insight.

 

[Wallach]

I actually want this, but I agree if the $40 MSRP is correct that is an overreach. Maybe they could get away with $29.99 MSRP if there are enough features. HD Remix didn't do them any favors for this game.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Capcom have been going backwards for years.

What they once would have included in a anniversary pack with 5 or 6 other games for 50 they now charge 40 bucks for alone

 

[sibarraz]

Violent Ken doesn't look Violent enough in the new artworks

 

[Riposte]

I liked HDR for what it was. The character art didn't even bother me so much, but the backgrounds were truly terrible. For that reason alone, I think I'll be sticking to SD mode.

Just dropping in characters willy-nilly is how you get MvC2 levels of balance fuckery.

 

[Deft Beck]

A port of SF2 in 2017? What a time.

Street Fighter 5 wouldn't have been a good port, as there's really not a lot of goodwill left there.

This is a familiar game with the promise of fun local multiplayer. It's perfect for people who aren't interested in the meta and do not play fighting games hardcore.

 

[lucebuce12]

Are they doing synchronized blowjob motions?

That's an animation of one of the NPCs in the stage so Garrett Hawke (A Gaffer)modded the animation to all the background NPCs on the stage and the result was that amazing thing.

He also made this:

And these 2: NSFW, NSFW

nothing wrong with that at all, there are plenty of real versions of sf2 to play

 

[Ban Puncher]

Hey wait a minute, the price hasn't even been confirmed at $40.


You almost got me, GAF.

The price listed on Capcom's Japanese website is the equivalent of $40: http://www.capcom.co.jp/usf2/

 

[UberTag]

I just realized this is more expensive than Street Fighter V. Oh lord.

It amuses me that Street Fighter IV was a launch title for the 3DS for the same price they're charging for Street Fighter II on the Switch 6 years later.

 

[Finaika]

Violent Ken was introduced years ago in SvC Chaos.

Capcom copying SNK again.

 

[Bulbasaur]

I like that kid, Violent Ken.

 

[Ban Puncher]

The price listed on Capcom's Japanese website is the equivalent of $40: http://www.capcom.co.jp/usf2/

For Japan.

That place where they love to overcharge for games.

Resident Evil Origins Collection Amazon US

Biohazard Origins Collection Amazon Japan

I will wait for regional pricing to be announced before I start losing my shit.

 

[Bulbasaur]

Everybody born in the 80's / 90's can play Street Fighter. Being able to detach the 2 joycons and play vs mode anywhere is really cool.

 

[Tizoc]

The price listed on Capcom's Japanese website is the equivalent of $40: http://www.capcom.co.jp/usf2/

For Japan at elast. I'll freak out when they announce the pricing for US.

 

[JP]

What a puzzling game to go for. I know this version did have it's fans but there couldn't have been many of them.

 

[Scotia]

I'm so confused. Why is this a thing? Why is Violent Ken and Evil Ryu in it? Why is it $40?

 

[lucebuce12]

Why is this a thing?

Capcpom

Why is Violent Ken and Evil Ryu in it?

Capcpom

Why is it $40?

Not confirmed to be 40$ for NA. See 2 posts above yours.

 

[Scotia]

Ah, OK. I just quickly scrolled through some posts and saw people saying $40.

I'm still puzzled as to why this happening though.

 

[mnz]

So it's playable and the character select doesn't look like HD Remix. I'll wait for more infos.

 

[DrFunk]

^^ That very much looks like HDRemix - graphical style at least.

 

[RM8]

Wait, can you use the old sprites? That makes things much better, lol.

 

[Devid905]

Curious to know what Ayano says about this game: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201701/13124820.html

HD Remix looked pretty different. Other portraits, too:

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

HDR is fantastic. I have yet to meet anyone who plays FGs that doesn't have fun with HDR. It's not perfect by any means, but by some posts here you'd think it was busted or something. At worst it's a fun novelty. It's not like ST isn't without it's obvious flaws. I love it, but it's loaded with arcane tricks and broken bullshit.

Worth it. USF2 has an arcade mode, reverse dramatic battle, better visual design (non-HD), and a better core game (IMO).

So it's playable and the character select doesn't look like HD Remix. I'll wait for more infos.

Character select looks just like ST, as do the in-game portraits. Could be traced or entirely redrawn.

 

[firelogic]

40 fucking dollars? They have lost their shit.

I know this isn't HDRemix but that game launched at $14.99 in 2009. This better have some major changes/additions to it to warrant a $40 tag.

 

[BareKnuckle]

Is this exclusive do we know?

Not a Switch hater just already own PS4 arcade sticks.

 

[Garlador]

Yeah, I don't get it. They put a lot of love into HDR, and the game included the ability to play with original sprites anyway.

My worst fears. Ryu looks mostly unchanged. His air tatsu has the same trajectory, his fireball might be a touch slower, and he has teleport.

Game looked super slow, too.

At worst it's a fun novelty. It's not like ST isn't without it's obvious flaws. I love it, but it's loaded with arcane tricks and broken bullshit.

The issue I have with it is that it dramatically changed the way some characters play. It might not look that way on the surface, but some of the mechanical changes to the game turn it into something that isn't ST. Take a look at Honda, for example. He went from being this character who had to take advantage of the opponents poor timing in order to do massive damage with ochio setups. In HDR, zoning meant nothing to him because he could LP headbutt through everything. Ochio was easy to throw out, and the push back from the command throw makes it almost impossible to come out of the corner with the right setup.
This fundamentally changed the way several characters had to fight him. It was such a radical difference that Honda flew up the tier list, because he suddenly had a way to deal with Sagat and Ryu. Other characters got some similar changes, while some just got nerfs for no reason. It's the balance, not the graphics I cared about.

Edit: Also, the core ST version of the game is based on the Dreamcast version of Super Street Fighter II: X for Matching Service. Not a bad version to base the game on, but it didn't give us access to the DIP settings that would make this as close to 100% accurate as it could have been. I also think they screwed with a few of the Old characters. O.Hawk doesn't feel right.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Will those Brook/Cronus thingamajigs workety-poo on this?

 

[jett]

It's HD Remix with two more characters. And by characters I mean shoto clones.

$40 is unjustifiable and incomprehensible.

 

[Playsage]

Really puzzled about the "new" characters...

I would have prefered to see a Omega Mode rather than touched up shotos.
