Akuma is looking pretty in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

Capcom’s Brian Dunn is a nice guy, but he sure is a rotten tease. In the official Capcom blog, he recently posted some sprites of the redrawn Akuma, from the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network title, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. The verdict? Well, see for yourself, but don’t get any drool on your shirt — that’s embarrassing.

Brian is quick to point out that these are actual frames of animation from the game, only that when we finally play (takes a deep breath) Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, it’s going to be animated. My puny human brain can’t even comprehend how awesome that’s going to be.

More images can be found over at the blog, where Dunn hints at teasing us with more characters in the future. Jerk.
