The Street Fighter II HD Remix intro that never was

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 3rd 2009 at 4:05PM }

We're sure everyone likes the redrawn, high definition art featured in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, but did you know that Udon also redrew the original SSFII intro sequence? It's true, and Capcom Unity has the video to prove it. After the break, you'll find the intro movie that Udon created, though it never made it into the actual game. The video features Ryu doing his fireball thing, while Chun-Li poses and Cammy (for some reason) gives everyone a raspberry. Watch the redrawn trailer and the original after the break.

I wonder why they didn't put it in the final game.

Maybe that intro would have delayed the game another 6 months...or maybe they want to re-release the game with added intro and a few new characters for $20.

Probably something to do with the filesize problems they were running into for XBLA...

What a bunch of dopes. Not only did they not include trophies for the PS3 version, they didn't add a cutscene viewer nor did they add this awesome intro. SSF2 Turbo Revival is a better version of the classic than the SSF2 Turbo HD, sadly.

Original one looks a lot better than the remix. Still would have been cool to have in the game, wondered where it was when I first played HD Remix.

Agreed. Original looks better than the remixed, not because of the art, but because of the animation. Maybe that's why they left it out...
