Deconstructing Street Fighter II

And how is that newsworthy?...
"A romhacker replaces character sprites with hit area blocks". Wow.
You know that happens everyday, right?...

I love how it's all blocks then a fish suddenly appears in the background. I lol'd

Please tell me im not the only one who really wants to try that.

Now all they have to do it port SFII to Atari2600 and C64....and they said it couldn't be done!

this reminds me of one of my first experiences with pro gaming when Quake 3 Arena came out. All these people would show up with these $5k+ computers... only to play with the lowest texture settings and basic items (thinking that somehow 350 Frames/sec would give them an edge on a monitor that could display 70 at best). Would that make this the hardcore pro version of SFII?

Orange Splotch WINS.

2600ALITY.

WOW THIS IS NEWS~!

I LOL'ed at that fish for a good while :D.

And, a program called Tile Molestor? AWESOME

To whom it may concern (Archon, people with low IQ's):

Joystiq is a "blog"; if you are unfamiliar with the concept of a "blog" then please visit the following handy Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog . When viewing a "blog" then you might encounter not only news entries but other insightful commentary, reviews, links to communities that are also interested in certain subject matters, and various other bits & baubles associated with the subjects that the "blog" covers.

I know, it is extremely fascinating but these "blog" things actually cover information OTHER THEN THE NEWS! It shocked me too when I found out that the New York Daily News had comics in it (who would of thought?) or that MTV.com covered games (WHY? THE NAME IS MUSIC TELEVISION BUT IT IS ON THE WEB AND COVERS GAMES?) but if you give yourself time then maybe you can come to terms that the world has changed and you are living in the era of Web 2.0.

I waaaaaaant!

Oh, and I focused so much on the first poster that I forgot to say that I love the work by Mr. Hayes...wouldn't want to play it because I suck at SF games but I'm a fan of the work put in to making this conversion.

These aren't the hitboxes, but the areas which get character graphics drawn on them. The hitboxes in the SF games are much simpler; often, just a few squares.

pretty hot to see blob on blob action . especially the munching part

Ahh the classics. It's amazing how we can recognize every move being performed in that game even when the characters are reduced to pixelated ooze.

Say what you will about Tile Molester, but it's a very, very handy application.

More trash posts from Xav. Ugh.
