Wow, thanks for the heads up EddyT. This sounds really, really, really, really sweet. Albeit, the near perfect balance of ST will go out the window with this game, it is still beyond awesome that Capcom is doing this. I don't mean to complain, but I wish Caps would also put out an Alpha compilations game just like this hyper ST game.
Now we'll start hearing some interesting debates on what version of what character is the best. Then we'll see how everything stacks up together. If a game had the best version of every SF2 character, would the game become balanced? Well, let's ignore Akuma though!
Bored? "160"

It's going to be Super Turbo sprites. You can choose a character, and what rendition you want him to fight as (i.e. Turbo SF Ken or Super Turbo Ken).
Not redrawn, but still interesting to see. It'll have galleries and other hidden stuff to unlock, from what it says.
I'm pretty upset about this... I wanted new sprites drawn in the old style, but I guess this is pretty cool. When I was younger I thought it'd be cool if they made a SF collection game like this, but more extensive... with every version of every character, the way they originally appeared... including SF1 sprites. SF3 wasn't out back then, I don't think, but the thought of Gill fighting SF1 Sagat is kind of amusing. I guess giving all the characters their SSF2X sprites keeps things looking uniform, but it'd be fun if this game went as far as to incorporate systems and sprites from newer games... I mean, it's not like there's going ot be any kind of semblance of balance as-is, may as well go all the way, right?
Of course, people would bitch that all the sprites aren't pretty, even though that's not the point.
At least they didn't have the character art. I didn't like the Revival stuff.
But yeah, new sprites would have been nice... oh well.

Hey! I was right! *pats self on back*
I hope they put in older versions of the backgrounds (WW Ryu stage with breakable signs, WW Sagat's with Tree that blocks your view, etc.) as well as the older sprites. I want it so that, if I pick HF Zangief vs. HF Ken on an HF background, it would look indistinguishable to the same match-up on the same stage in HF. But they'll probably only have ST backgrounds in there. :(
I just hope that they don't mess up the older characters in any way. If they're going to put in CE Bison, he better be his fully stupidly powerful, "7-hit Psycho Crusher that takes off more damage blocked than if hit, Scissors kick redizzies of death" self or else they shouldn't bother.
However, I wonder what they're going to do for older versions of characters who didn't exist, like pre-SSF2 Cammy, Fei Long, Dee Jay and T.Hawk, or pre-CE bosses. IIRC, the early versions of characters in Vampire Chronicles (e.g. Night Warrior Jedah) were pretty blah/useless except for DS BB.Hood, who became a motion character instead of a charge.
Dunno if they'll ever be tournaments for this, but it could be very interesting. I can think of certain characters being really good right off the bat: WW Guile, CE Bison, HF Ryu, HF Ken, HF Zangief, HF Blanka, SSF2 Guile. I also wonder if the SSF2 versions of the characters are the actual SSF2 versions, or the OG versions from ST (who were very similar to the SSF2 versions, but not indentical). And if the SSF2 versions *are* the genuine SSF2 versions, then will the OG versions be in there at all? (Note to the person who said it: HF's balance is much better than ST's)
I hope they put in a System Direction mode with the ability to put in trip guard. Then watch as HF Honda becomes the best character in the game. :p
Anyway, the hardcore/OG folk should get a kick out of this. No one else will give a rat's ass though.
