For those of you who have been eagerly awaiting Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, like I have, the screenshots attached to this post will surely cause your pants to tent. Capcom has just put out three brand-spankin’-new images of Akuma in all his high-definition glory, and they look just as awesome as all the other screenshots we’ve seen so far.
Just seeing Akuma standing there with Ryu lying at his feet, along with a purple-hued sunset in the background at a tropical resort, has reinvigorated my anticipation for this game. The second image features Akuma flying toward Ryu on Fei Long’s stage, and the third shows Ken flying backward from a two-hit Akuma combo on Zangief’s stage. You can check out all three full-size shots below, or head over to Lost @ Capcom’s Flickr.

I'm still very eager to see more of this game in action whenever it arrives.
It's sad that this game looks far more exciting and interesting than Street Fighter IV.

If microsoft is telling the true about sexuality then why are the following gamertags approved
iamstraight
hetero
setsi
stud
of course if you take them out of context they all don't refer to sexuality (i.e. hetero is from Japan).

Look at the neck and head of akuma in that pic, how can anybody say it looks good...
Anyway, This is probably the best news to hit me about this game yet. I was on the fence, but now I'm all in, baby.
I'm gonna Shun Goku Satsu some me some nubs!
I can't WAIT!
That's how it feels to me :(
Recently watched an interview with its producer, and it looks just awful(the muscles don't flow too well) *SF3 had more fluid animation than this. Something isn't right here.
Given the amount of time they've spent on this. Maybe they should set it back for awhile.
it's a dual release 360 & PS3
Wii, its not obv; it doesnt support 1080p
That's because it is DeeJay's stage. You know, the one who appeared in Super SFII: The New Challengers.
They aren't adding more frames of animation to this. They're taking the current engine and overlaying it with new graphics and some new gameplay touches. If they altered the number of frames that would introduce some unwanted game elements.
Unwanted gameplay elements? Akuma was NEVER playable in SF2 Turbo, so we've already got those.
Anyways, I think this "HD" game looks pretty goofy. There was nothing wrong with SF2T before, why make it all...ugly as sin? : (
I don't know enough Street Fighter history to know who is and who isn't in each iteration anymore.
