Street Fighter Random Notes

First and foremost, a spy has caught a test location marquee card detailing the special moves of all of the characters announced thus far. You can head to Kotaku and get a view of the media. While it hardly unveils anything new and shocking, when one of the biggest gaming series of all time gets a sequel, people are hungry for whatever they can get!

Can I Has Car? Barrels?
In an update to Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix for the 360 and Playstation 3 today, the teased hitbox training mode was unveiled today, allowing players to actually see the normally invisible boxes that determine how attacks connect to an opponent. Red boxes will be displayed to show where a player can be hit on their character while blue boxes shown through an attack shows the range of the attack. If blue meets red then that registers a hit and if red meets red, double k.o.! Well ... that's only if both players kill each other, but they trade hits nonetheless.

Anyway, opening the comment board to questions, Seth Killian officially confirmed the series' bonus games, taken away in SSFII Turbo, will not be returning to the game. Seeing as HD Remix is being billed as the new tournament standard, it's no surprise the vets won't want to endure car or barrel smashing when competition is their fuel.

Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition?
While it may be obvious that any hyped game should receive a collector's edition (Street Fighter IV), Capcom hasn't announced it as of yet, but a new poll on the newly-energized Street Fighter official page is certainly teasing such an effort. "What collector's item would you like to see in a Collector's Edition of Street Fighter IV?" Figurines, playable/downloadable content, mini strategy guide, trailers/movies and a T-Shirt round out your options, showing the company has put a thought into producing a limited run of a collector's version. Remember: Pre-ordering the game from GameStop will also score you an exclusive Street Fighter art book and check out the new Abel vs. Guile watercolor fight while you're on the site.
