Guile In His Hi-Def Glory

[violentp]

The Capcom blog currently has images of Guile in his new high definition duds for the upcoming Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix for PSN and Xbox Live Marketplace release.

What can I say that I didn't already in the Akuma post. I know, this game still has the worst title ever.

Due to sprite flipping, the flag on his arm will be wrong when he is faciing 1 direction.

What the hell are you talking about?

What the hell are you talking about?The reversing of the American flag tattoo on his arm. Pay attention.

I mirrored the image in paint shop, looks fine to me. I don't get what I'm missing?

I think we are at an age where such minor issues are easily rectified. Unless they really don't give a shit.

Do we really need a new news post every time a new character is released?

Not really.

A flag is still the same flag no matter what side you view it from; the American flag doesn't suddenly cease to be American when the wind shifts and blows it in a different direction.


These sprites are really nicely done IMO -- clearly a labour of love :)

[Talanvor]

Need. Better. D-Pad!

[Yeti]

I'm really looking forward to this. Hopefully if this sells well they'll do Darkstalkers III in the same awesome style (would it be asking too much for X-Men Vs Streetfighter? Hell lets have all the CPS2 games done!). Just imagine Morrigan in all her gravity defying glory (I'm talking about her ability to fly, get your mind out of the gutter!) :p

Why not just make them in 3D? That'll sort out the low-resolution problem that the 2D sprites have when going higher res, and the animation will look so much more fluid.

[Mista Mafiosi]

I rather see them bring in back in 2d. Odin's spere looked great and it was all sprite based. Alien Hominid was all hand drawn in 2d and the animations for that were pretty fluid IMO.

[DeathtollWRX]

Guile doesn't seem to be as well drawn as akuma-ken. With today;s technology you would think they could make a seperate sprite for guile to fix the mirroring issue. I hope they really do more then draw them in higher res like adding animation and making the powers look better. I have high hopes.

[ferrarimanf355]

It must be asked: when are they going to show sprites for Cammy? :D

A friend of mine has that exact same tattoo on both arms, and it looks exactly like Guile's in the photo, same orientation. I think this was done on purpose, it's a common tattoo theme for military types.

The US Flag on your arms? That's silly. What happens when puerto rico becomes a state... :rolleyes:

[Schnoogs]

This is why the military wears backwards flags on their uniforms...or in this case Guiles arms.

The full-color U.S. flag cloth replica is worn so that the star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer’s right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward.

On his right arm the star field is facing forward, on his left arm the star field is closer to his back.

So the flag is backwards on both arms, when they flip it it'll face forwards, or something like that. It should be backwards on the right arm and forwards on the left arm if he wants to look like they're flying in the wind while he's moving forward.

Evil Avatar: The only forum where flag directions are a big fucking deal. Flag directions: real serious business.

Dumbest fucking thread ever.

I know i dont, it could turn into a japanese flag when he turns. Why care?

[sixtyfps]

Guile's hands are busted in the first and third snaps, but look passable in the second one. UDON had better rethink those eyesores.

Completely agreed.

[KingGorilla]

And here I thought Capcom kept releasing the same titles for the last 15 years or so.

I put SF2 almost in the same league as pac man, batman and star wars. It will be with us forever in some form or fashion.
