Street Fighter HD confirmed for Nov. 25 on PSN, Nov. 26 on XBLA

How can you compare to that pixelated 90's game to a HD remake. And you can play against friends.

Is it lonely up there in your tower?

Classic Mode FTW! I probably wouldn't even consider buying this if all it had was "Remix Mode". People have been playing this game for over a decade, no need to rebalance this imo.

Oddly enough that's why I'm getting the 360 one. Cause I still have a ton of points left over from when I got a 4000pt ($50) card for $40. One of the best parts about an arbitrary points system. Retailers don't pat attention and will somewhat frequently discount or give them away. 360 folks could have gotten SFHD for free if they got Gears Of War 2 from Circuit City.

Some online retailers will sell you PSN cards from different regions. Then all you have to do is make a US PSN account, and you are all set.

Hey, thanks for the info Orchid. So it does have to be a US account though?

Don't be a scrub. If you can't deal with Hadouken spam, then you have no business playing SF2. Spamming Hadouken isn't as easy as it sounds; the slightest error will lead to serious punishment. All it takes is one jump-in to confirm a loss; jump-in combo is guaranteed dizzy and the followup is guaranteed death. SF2 is known for having some wildly inescapable traps; Hadouken traps are moderately easier to do then many of the tickthrows and frametraps, but it's all still part of the game.

Plus, any trap in SF2 is escapable, even if it is only a one frame chance.

You could go with the Hori fighting stick. It's a little awkward because the joystick sits in a square track (and clicks like crazy), but it eliminates the D-pad problem for fighting games.

I'm going to pick this and SF4 up, but I haven't played too often since the arcade days and fully expect to get beaten over and over online then get frustrated and move on to something else that doesn't leave me screaming at the TV scaring my dog.

Winning is winning, and abusing projectiles is part of SF2. I can understand your frustrations in dealing with projectile spammers; early on in the game, it's hard to get around, but overtime you learn to punish projectile spammers (the bad ones at least). Keepaway/zoning is just part of the game; many top SF2ST players like Justin Wong and Alex Valle pretty much play by spamming projectiles, and I wouldn't say these players suck. Projectiles can be somewhat of a nuisance, but without perfect spacing, projectile spammers are easily punished. Realize that a good portion of the roster has projectiles (Ryu, Ken, O.Sagat, Guile, Deejay) and those characters gameplay centers around using those projectiles to their highest potential. IMO if you take away projectile spam, then you take away a large part of ST away.

Also keep in mind there are plenty of things in the game just as annoying as projectile spam: tick throw loops (many with 1 frame of escape opportunity), T.Hawk frame traps, Vega vs Blanka/Honda sitting matches, Zangeif's retarded grab range, jump-in combo meaning certain death, etc. Every character in this game has some brokenness to them; it's not just the projectiles.

I also agree that fighting games online isn't the best, but nowadays if you want online competition you need friends that play competitive or go to tournaments. Sadly, fighting game tournaments are held once a month at best in most communities. Not very many arcades have Super Turbo. Here in Orlando we have one mildly active arcade (plus one on UCF campus that's alright), but Tekken, Marvel, and KoF11 are pretty much your choices for fighters at that arcade.

Typo:That second "online" should say "offline".
