Kinda stinks that the first image we see showing one of the strong ladies from SSFIITHDROMGSRSLY has to be one of her all abused. Show us Chun Li thigh, that's her strongest feature! All the guys we've seen were portrayed all macho in fighting poses. So far we've seen Ken and Akuma, then last week we saw Guile, with his controversial backwards American flag. One of the developers for the game says, "Guile's flags tattoos are not backwards. Well technically they are, but it depends on which way the character is facing. Because the old code flips the character art depending on which way the character is facing, it was like this before but just not as noticeable." We're pretty sure that violates some rule about the flag. Yeah, the US flag has rules. Maybe we'll get a non-Frank Miller Sin City version of Chun Li next?

Lets face it, when you fly the flag on a flag pole, if you look at it from the "front" the square with the stars will be in the top left hand corner, but if you look at it from the "back"(or if the wind happens to be blowing in the OTHER direction) the square with the stars will be in the top right hand corner.
With the whole avatar flipping when facing the other way, this will actually be the most realistic flag ever. Since you can essentially see both sides of the it.
But yeah, I have to admit, that is kinda shameless. I guess they felt too ashamed to let the guys be seen crying over having their asses handed to them.

My first thought was that there was a Street Fighter Hentai...
Awesome HD artwork though,

I don't think it's just me.

No offense to the guys working on these as they're very skilled, but no matter how much shine and detail they put into it, they'll never look near as good as a sprite that was done from scratch by a good artist like they are, for example Guilty Gear, SF3 or Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Despite those being of a drastically lower resolution.
Just goes to show that HD means absolutely shit. it's like 10% of what makes a game look good. The other 90% is art.
That said, I don't like how they basically cut out the head and body of this and just moved them around. Looks like some flash cartoon. Look at the inconsistencies in the neck area.

The Canadian flag, maybe? It's pretty hot, and right next door.
Or the Japanese flag, if something more long-distance works?

And about Chun-Li, damn, I wanted to see her all her glory, but she already seems to be looking better albeit beat up and crying.

Kidding guys, kidding.
Still, my first thought about that picture were probably the same as everyone elses.

The issue is that it's a tattoo, not an actual flag. It should the stars should be facing the same way, no matter which way Guile is facing.
But, they're basically using the original game code, but with brand new, hand-drawn sprites. So, it'll be using sprite flipping, juas as in the original.

They're using the original code that they wrote way back when, which means that all the animations are going to have exactly the same number of frames as they did when the game first came out.
