Go behind the scenes of Street Fighter animations

Have you ever wondered how an animation is born? ... No, you probably haven't. Don't feel bad, neither had we. But once we saw this interesting look at how Capcom is cleaning up movements for their Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, we felt like we gained a new appreciation for the intricacies of animation.Take, for example, the fact that some characters in Super Street Fighter II had motion blur while characters from Street Fighter II didn't? Isn't that fascinating? Hello? ... OK, so we admit this sort of "inside the sausage factory" stuff isn't for every one. But if you're a fan of the series, you'll want to take a look.

Urm, I know Blanka's a monster and all, but are his toes really supposed to be round the wrong way!?!

After all these stories, I'm still confused as to why I'm supposed to give a shit about the sprites in SSFHFHD 4. Or whatever it is.

If you don't like it, move along. It's for the fans of the series.

Blanka is sweet. Check out the picture. Dude's not made for dancing with 2 left feet! Jim, I know you beat me to it, but I still wanted to comment!

Having two left feet is what all the cool monsters are doing.
Sprite based games are my absolute favorite, especially when they're done extremely well (Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin). That said, it sure seems like they're trying to make this rehash sound much more difficult and complicated than it actually is.

I could watch Cammy fierce punch all day. It's mesmerizing.
